I’ve said it since the day after the 2024 election, and I will say it again now, with arms waving wildly:
NATO MEMBERS: KICK US OUT.
YOU ARE NOT SAFE, AND YOU SHOULD STOP SHARING INTEL WITH US.

I suppose it's OK to "choose real life" if you have a real life to choose... 😳
For a while, social media was a way to hold people & organisations to account. It was a way to amplify your work, to brainstorm ideas, share experiences, meet brilliant people from outside your social circles, engage in silly running jokes

I was addicted to social media — it ruled my life for 10 years
For a decade social media was our columnist Sathnam Sanghera’s best mate and confidant. Now, like millions of us, he’s switching it off. What changed?

It should be bigger news that the world’s first soon to be trillionaire has created a chatbot that is undressing women without consent.
Grok is even undressing children.
Musk created it. He’s aware it’s happening and he’s doing nothing to stop it.
Every media outlet needs to scream about this.

I really don't handle silences well.
After having 2 silent sessions in psychotherapy inflicted on me, I really don't cope well with it.
Problem is, I know I also go mute at times.
Maybe that's why I try to break the silence when it happens, and get quite anxious about it?

(1) Added folate has been present in starch products for ages
(2) It's a water-soluble B vitamin
(3) It's the low-cost form of the thing he was swearing treats autism (leucovorin is folinic acid).
