Once again: even if vacating X is too much of a leap for the government to contemplate, cross post! There are apps (Fedica, Buffer, others) that allow you to send the same message to every site with no more effort. Call it being "platform-neutral". Help non-death-threat platforms to grow.
It’s wild. If a journalist accidentally said, e.g. the names of a minister‘s school age children on air, Downing Street would rightly lose it, yet death threats, conspiracies about the PM’s marriage, racism against ministers…all fine apparently!

That awkward thing where you write an annual report called 'Low Pay Britain' but 'low pay' has been all but eliminated (on the standard hourly pay < 2/3 median measure).

One of the things I miss since the other place went toxic was some of the silly/funny threads alongside the serious stuff. Some people I follow did both and I felt I understood them better when I saw both sides of character. 1/2

One thing I miss from other place before it went crazy was the fun of people I followed doing non serious stuff among the real. Example : mixed up.movies. the hobbit and Saturday night fever = jive Tolkien. Learned a lot about some folks by their evident humour

While the gospels say that Judas led the Romans to Jesus, a new theory is gaining traction with some Biblical scholars. There is evidence, some say, that Judas merely shared Christ's location on an insecure group chat that accidentally included several Roman officials and journalists.
