Maybe if I had a mocha-choca-syrupy-shite it might disguise the shit-ness of the underlying coffee.

I’m off to the garden centre. Does it get more bank holiday?!

There will be a lot more watching of illegal streams now.

Sucks for cycling though.

I’m a Brit and would pronounce it gus-toe, and I don’t think many Brits would say goose-toe.

(Awaits responses from fellow Brits contradicting me)

2, but British.

Fuck that.

Teach your children about the evils of history, teach them compassion, caring and resilience so they can stand up to the herd and be the good.

I’m going to do my best to show my kids that there’s another way. And that the lessons of the past haven’t been forgotten.

Those people leave the platforms because honestly, who can take that much shit from facists? And then the right win. They get bolder and bolder, meaner and meaner and they take our kids and turn them into shits.

And the further right people are pushed.

Removing fact checking from platforms and allowing a community to police itself allows manipulation of information. Not down-weighting misinformation is amplifying it.

The voices of vulnerable people who need to be heard are shouted down.

The right wing are becoming more and more emboldened, the AfD look likely to do well in Germany and there are simpering obituaries for Le Pen.

So what?

The more “normal” the kinds of language and attitudes exhibited by the right are seen to be the more people exhibit these behaviours

It’s a small and probably insignificant thing, but feels kind of big given the impact Twitter has had on my career, keeping in touch with people and more, but so many other people have left now too it’s so much less of a concern.

And screw the cesspit of shit that platform has become.

A new MacBook Pro. Not a giant discount but my previous is about 6 years old and on it’s way out 😬
