I'm sorry, but it is genuinely evil that this has been published, and if we had any press standards in this country, it wouldn't have been allowed to happen.
Everyone can see this is insane and that Suzanne Moore is a fucking joke right?

This gave me nostalgia about John Conway. He was my first introduction to higher mathematics, when I attended a maths weekend in Cambridge when I was at school. Yes I was that geeky. He was later my pure maths lecturer…

There is one small way Twitter is better than Bluesky. I view everything on an iPad, and I struggle with the tiny vertical format of Bluesky. It feels small and unfriendly. Viewing screenshots of documents is painful as I can’t get whole lines of readable text on the screen.

iPad version please!

The electric guitar (and probably the acoustic too - I haven’t checked) look really cheap. Les Paul copies but with a bolt-on neck and very cheap looking tuners. I hope Gibson sue

I’m actually quite excited about today’s Starship launch, despite their problematic boss.

Out of curiosity I did a search on here to see what people are saying, and sooo many people are hoping it blows up 😃

Seems there’s a rumour Trump might show up in Texas

The current discourse seems to be that we should concede that trans people shouldn’t be allowed to play sport.

My view?

Trans people are massively underrepresented in sport and there should be money available for programs encouraging more trans people to take up sports, activities and exercise

I would like to speak up today for the trans community.

You see, I know a bit of what it’s like to be politically scapegoated. When Japan attacked Pearl Harbor in 1941, suddenly anyone in America who had any amount of Japanese ancestry became suspect. Politicians preyed upon ignorance and fear. /1

I’m playing a Xmas gig tonight! It’s what’s known as a ‘Turkey and Tinsel’ week at a local hotel. Cut price Xmas experience to fill the quiet time between the summer season and Xmas proper. Feels weird. Bah humbug, but with a smile.

Is there an age limit on being a Chappell Roan fan? Asking for a friend

I’m starting to realise how tricky it is to make your first post on a social media app
