1. It is not journalists' job to predict.
2. Their predictions reveal their biases.
3. They can also find "some people" to say what they want said.
4. This does nothing to inform the electorate. This is not journalism.

Bluesky is officially “open” now (no more invites). So just a reminder to not engage with trolls and bad actors, there is no algorithm here to promote or spread them, replying to them is what puts them on everybody’s timelines. So block and give no oxygen.

I had a professor at the Guildhall tell me I wasn't going to be the kind of person who makes games. And that I would never get a job at Blizzard.
You'd be shocked at how many women in the industry are running on PURE spite.

I was told my whole life I could never be a writer. I believed those voices and became a hairdresser.
But I still wrote stuff, to amuse myself and others.
People liked that stuff.
I got my dream job.
Don’t give up because others have.

Israel attacked the Red Crescent ambulance even after they'd cleared them to rescue Hind. The paramedics were killed. Hind is dead as well, and if you listened to the tapes you know she died terrified and alone sounded by the bodies of dead family.

Are we surprised that a massive man-child silenced criticism of his platform?
Today the Irish Examiner published my piece about the hellscape of platform manipulation and spam that is the modern web. In it, I highlighted that such actions materially benefit Twitter.
Now, for the first time in 14 years, I've been suspended by Twitter. For "platform manipulation and spam".

I discovered recently that people who are lonely and depressed sometimes take showers more often, for longer periods of time.
I did not need this callout when I was IN THE SHOWER, WORKING UP THE ENERGY TO GO OUTSIDE AND DO SOMETHING.

Disney wasn’t too far off with its likeness of King John!
John’s effigy on this 13th-century coin looks strikingly similar to the John in Disney’s 1973 “Robin Hood”. 🙃
