not mentioned in this video: • it was an assassination • of a democratic official • by a right wing • anti-abortion • republican • disguised as a cop

The sheer ho-hum, plodding news coverage of an actual domestic terror attack enacted by a white, Christian, white nationalist, anti-abortion REPUBLICAN against democrat politicians. What is happening? A republican, white domestic terrorist with a hit list. They are reporting it like a bake sale.

Actual footage of me pulling 8 gummy candies from the bag all stuck together:

Today on "nothing is old anymore", 12yo singing "Dirty Cash".

Vance Luther Boelter committed acts of terrorism that has been incited by trump.

Vance Luther Boelter is a #terrorist

Murdering a politician in a "politically motivated attack". Terrorism by a terrorist.

The latest on here is about how mobile phones are all bad. But you all ignore actual harm from COVID. Great.

The sheer IRONY of the anti-device rhetoric being plastered on this app like it's original and edgy to blame society's ills on the latest technology. It didn't take this platform long to flatten out to just another site where people spout the same rhetorics all at the same time.

www.bbc.com/news/article... BBC desperately trying to make this appeal sound like it was reasonable, and failing miserably.

I'm at a health centre today and they are making sure COVID doesn't spread in their clinic by... ... Making everyone take a drop of hand sanitiser. This is sheer madness.

Labour made a mess of the winter fuel payment. They fixed it, and improved it along the way. I know most are unaccustomed to having a government that listens and responds, but that's what we have right now.

You've caught me thinking about when I was confidently told that you cannot do mixed qualitative methods and that mixed method is always, always, quantitative plus thematic analysis.

I see Mad Katz is playing all the hits, and remixing a few others. Cracked Grammy.

People ignoring the risk of an airborne virus while and people setting fire to mobile phone infrastructure because of the "brain frying radiation". It doesn't matter if you're not both. If you're one, you're as bad as the other. #COVID #5G

As wildfires rage and “razor blade throat” Covid spreads, it’s important to wear a well fitted respirator. Even if you’re over covid. Even if you trust your immune system. The pandemic is ongoing. The fires are toxic. My guide to all things masks! www.disabledginger.com/p/were-witne...

The omnidirectional distraction just keeps getting bites from the press and online circles. It's not a breakup, and you're all looking at it instead of the actual news. Remember how starlink accessed all voting machines? How about the tariffs? The Muslim ban? Overseas student ban? Insider trading?

Someone in front of a committee saying they don't know their annual salary should be fired instantly on principle.

Stop telling students "There's no right or wrong answer". There may well be no single correct answer, but there are also so many wrong answers.

When the COVID variant comes along that fully escapes vaccines and has a 33% mortality rate, please know that we were all warned about the dangers of letting a pandemic virus spread unchecked.

Let's stop critiquing research based on a surface-level inspection of the year or was published. It's genuinely pathetic. So that if a study was carried out in 2001?? Do the findings hold up? If so, stop wasting everyone's time talking about how old it was!

We won't. The troll dynamic is essentially unchanged since the days of USENET, because the goal is the same: disrupt civil discourse and waste other people's time. There's nothing I've seen from troll recently that I didn't see 30 years ago in a newsgroup.

Hey everyone. COVID is still a pandemic, and you are all out there just hoping your next infection won't be the one that does you in. Even with no testing programme, cases and hospitalisations are increasing.

For those companies that pumped their prices worldwide because of "the tariffs", I eagerly await the immediate reduction in your prices. Sony? Nintendo? Microsoft? Anyone?

This "unelected judges" rhetoric in America is dangerous.

Cruise ships are some of the worst polluters ever created. Each one is at least 1,000,000 cars of emissions including sulphur, carbon, and methane.

Wear an ffp2/3 to protect your brain #covid- incoming wave 🌊

trump manipulating markets by threatening to implement new tariffs:

The energy price cap going down in the middle of summer only to "sadly have to" go up in the winter:

Brexit was a mistake. It's time to rejoin the EU.

You wouldn't know it from today's newspaper front pages screaming "betrayal", but new YouGov polling finds that 66% of British people now want the Government to deliver a closer relationship with the EU, compared to just 14% who don't

There's a very functional reason why it's "by accident" and "on purpose". While "language evolves", it's not inevitable, and is instead an ongoing negotiation in a "longer conversation". Hence, I am stating this on purpose and not by accident.

Rogue One is now more essential than ever. #StarWars

Freely UK is considering a set top box. Or you can make apps that work on existing boxes!

"Many phenomena which scholars refer to as “housing crises” today, we argue, are, in fact, part of (more or less) “stable” housing system features under capitalism." A paper on why we should re-think our use of the term "crisis" in relation to housing ...

Just out! Our peer-reviewed critique of the Cass Review has been published by BMC Medical Research Methodology. Please read and share. We show that the Cass Review is fatally flawed and should not be the basis for policy or practice in transgender healthcare. link.springer.com/article/10.1...

They have a #Covid and #LongCovid Policy. It needs to be reflected in awareness, behaviour and inclusivity now.

New @greenparty.org.uk members (and old ones) who are #covid sensible and prefer to not catch and spread airborne diseases, ask your local party to make their meetings inclusive through ventilation, air quality etc.
