Responses beginning "So..." very commonly fail the waffle test, and this is no exception; the simplest response is to discourage the behaviour by pointing this out and muting.

Michael Prescott's report makes vital points about the importance of being accurate, and also how difficult that is. For instance, he describes himself as having been Political Editor of the Sunday Times for 10 years, which is not what the Guardian reported when he left the job.

Trump is like a toddler: time he spends asleep is to be prized, not resented. Every minute he sleeps is a minute he is not tantruming or breaking things or smearing his own shit on things.
Images of Donald Trump appearing to close his eyes at an Oval Office announcement this week rocketed around social media this weekend, with the president’s opponents seizing on the footage to raise questions about Trump’s on-the-job performance.

OK, so this feels a bit random but we were watching the Tim Curry Three Musketeers and one IMDB association led to another and I remembered this, which I hadn't heard since it first went out and in short, it hits just as hard as it did in 1983

A great point. If you read the UK press, spend time on X and fall prey to elite radicalisation, you can very easily fool yourself into thinking you represent the silent majority when in fact you are an increasingly extreme minority. It's funny when conservatives scold liberals about their "bubbles"
This latest defeat may exemplify a broader ecosystem/bubble problem for the right: so used now to preaching to the converted in media outlets and online that it struggles to understand how this language (the NT as run by or capitulating to "woke terrorists") might be received by the median member

If you believe either that Franklin discovered the double helix, and / or Watson and Crick stole her data, ask yourself how you know this. Then take a read of this article.
If I see one more stupid Rosalind Franklin take I'm going to lose my mind. Thank god for @matthewcobb.bsky.social and @nccomfort.bsky.social. www.nature.com/articles/d41...
What Rosalind Franklin truly contributed to the discovery of DNA’s structure
Franklin was no victim in how the DNA double helix was solved. An overlooked letter and an unpublished news article, both written in 1953, reveal that she was an equal player.

Conversation my wife had with her father years ago:
"Don't breathe a word to mum, but we're organising a surprise birthday party for her."
"That's silly, she won't want that."
"She will, she'll love it!"
"Well, she's here now, I'll ask. Pat, you don't want a surprise birthday party, do you?"
"Don't breathe a word to mum, but we're organising a surprise birthday party for her."
"That's silly, she won't want that."
"She will, she'll love it!"

My sister is the kind of person who would start a WhatsApp group called “grandpa has died”, to break news.

What's deeply funny about this:

So it's just pure delusion on all sides. 12 year old brains doing 12 year old 'cool' things all round.
