I overuse semicolons; typos are a given.

My pinned Twitter post was something like:

Keyser Söze: The greatest trick the Devil ever pulled was convincing the world he didn't exist.

Me: The greatest trick billionaire media barons ever pulled was convincing their readers that their interests were aligned.

It's a shame nothing's changed.

That the UK - one of the architects of this fund, designed to save the world’s forests - is now refusing to put any money into it is frankly shameful. Starmer’s claim that he still continues to back the fund is meaningless without resources - so much for climate leadership

This is disturbing.

No matter what safeguards might be built into this system, all it takes is an authoritarian government and the safeguards can be rolled back.

We’re in danger of falling into Chinese-style state surveillance.
🚨LIVE FACIAL RECOGNITION IS EXPANDING

The Home Office told us they’d consider a legal framework to govern it’s use.

But what we’re seeing is a rapid rollout - and no safeguards to protect us.

We take no joy criticising a young left-wing UK political figure who has often spoken up for workers' rights and progressive causes. But these barely coherent comments from Zarah Sultana on Ukraine sum up much of what is wrong with her wing of the left www.instagram.com/reel/DQT62ys...

🚨The IPP scandal is one of the most cruel, monumental and shocking injustices of the past half century. If you are not yet familiar with it watch this jaw dropping update.

PM Keir Starmer now has an opportunity to take the politics out of it and end this injustice.

Louis CK is an avaricious arse.

Apparently only two topics in Riyadh are taboo: “Their religion and their government.”

Well, that’s OK then. It makes all the oppression easy to ignore.

The rest of the comedians who are playing there are also arses.
