Quite unnerving watching quite how many Conservative frontbenchers have decided to leap on 'actually the 2022 inquiry that happened under us wasn't sufficient. We've just discovered this now'. Terrible for their own self-interest as well as being ridiculous.

One issue with X which I’m surprised doesn’t attract more scrutiny and scepticism when users read posts, is that blue tick accounts can be monetised. There is a financial incentive to post the most inflammatory views possible. I’m not convinced people even believe what they write anymore.

I just love this! One of those ideas that, in hindsight, was such an obvious thing to do, but no one thought to do it.

I've just doubled my monthly subscription to Wikipedia. I was donating way before all this idiocy from Musk, but now it's important to show more support to Wikipedia.

In 1659, the the Puritans in Massachusetts enacted a law that declared that Christmas was sacrilege and exchanging of gifts, greetings, and wearing fine clothing on that day was Satanic. Anyone caught celebrating was fined 5 shillings. (About 5 days wages.) The "War on Christmas" was an inside job.

Every time I read about banning books, I think of this: Reading a book with a gay character will not make you gay any more than reading a book about Einstein will make you a genius. If you're afraid that books might change someone's thinking, you're not afraid of books — you're afraid of thinking.

Give a man a fish, he'll eat for a day. Teach a man to fish, he'll contribute to the global overdepletion of the ocean. So give him a salad, maybe.

1. Consent in our pseudo-democracies is strained at the best of times, but it hangs on the belief that there is some kind of justice: through inquiries, tribunals, sometimes even the law, powerful people who commit crimes against us will one day be held to account. But what if this no longer works?🧵
