Found the tweet that Joyce Carol Oates bodied Elon Musk with and it's so beautiful in its eloquent, simple take down. So much so he's crashing out trying to prove he reads books now. Put this in the Louvre.

It's utterly unacceptable that penguins are kept in a cramped, windowless room at London’s Sea Life Aquarium. Denied fresh air, natural light and the space they need to thrive. I spoke on @lbc.co.uk about how their conditions are a world away from their Antarctic home.

A nice concise explanation of why we need the ECHR and how Britain was at the heart of its inception not some poor country being dictated to by face-less bureaucrats in Brussels.

Seventy-five years ago, Britain helped write the European Convention on Human Rights. It protects fairness, liberty and the rule of law. Those attacking it now are not defending Britain. They are trying to free government from accountability. We must defend it.

The far right want you to believe that immigration causes an explosion of crime.
It's simply untrue.
Crime has gone down - and crucially, we are a markedly less violent society than we once were.

Just the stats in the headline are enough to make you feel sick 🤢.
The system is rigged, these are not hard working, good people getting their just desserts, they are grifters playing a rigged game and screwing people and the planet. They should be seen as the parasites they are.

Since 2000, the richest 1% of the world's population has taken 41% of all new wealth. The poorest half of the world has received only 1%.

I’m not at all interested in ‘how to get rich’ for myself or anyone else…BUT I am interested in equality and unfairness. I don’t agree with everything Gary talks about (he is more of a trad capitalist than I) but I massively appreciate his insights into a system I have little understanding of.
