@RestoreTrustNT Thank you for speaking so eloquently (and tenaciously) today at the AGM. We should put pressure on the NT 👊🏻

@jeremycorbyn Well bad luck there. Can you fully explain why Rwanda is such an appalling prospect?

Two weeks ago, Suella Braverman told us her dream was to witness a flight sending refugees to Rwanda. Thankfully, she has now resigned. For the sake of humanity, we must ensure it’s the living dreams of refugees, not the dying dreams of Suella Braverman, that are actualised.

@jeremycorbyn So if the “bare minimum” happens you would be prepared to “withdrawal support”? Nurses don’t get a raw deal IMHO. Let’s make sure the strike doesn’t go ahead for the sake of the entire NHS MDT.

Nurses’ pay must rise with inflation. That is the bare minimum. Applause on our doorsteps rings hollow without solidarity on the picket line. If nurses go on strike, they will have my full support.

@elonmusk Don’t know about “super”… (Self-Selecting) Collective - yes

Because it consists of billions of bidirectional interactions per day, Twitter can be thought of as a collective, cybernetic super-intelligence

@OtherPens @Minsainiac Harsh critic there. I’m only picking up on the use of Joe Wright’s film pics over and above that of the *definitive* BBC production. #Colin #Jennifer 🤣

@Minsainiac I’m Canadian so it’s a balancing act. 😂 🇺🇸🇨🇦🇬🇧

Jane Austen Characters during COVID - a thread

@OtherPens Ok. So look ~ all seriousness ~ take a breath, pause, breathe again (and repeat)

(I know the above is all nonsense! I do not constantly and thoroughly believe I am a crap human being. It's just that the feeling that I am returns persistently enough to make me wonder, sometimes.)

I keep feeling like I should have a certificate that says I have depression/anxiety. I know that's not rational & I literally just got a Rx for Prozac but, like, how will I *know*-know for SURE that I have depression/anxiety? Like, maybe I am just quite simply a crap human being.

@OtherPens Well that’s relatable 🤣

Anyway, real excited to slam some pills into my brain folds and see what happens.

@OtherPens Emily— I feel I’ve got to confess that your Austen feed in 2020 was so blinking brilliant that I’ve come back years later to re-read it. I’m laughing just as much. Such a joy x

@Baddiel Wait.. it’s gotta be the V&A. Alright. Now we know what we are dealing with.

Happy Birthday Channel 4. Thanks for the party invite. Admittedly it looks not that exciting from this photo.

@Baddiel Also, whose foyer is this?!

@Baddiel Yeah, but from what I’ve heard the opening was *explicative* lit. #1982. Maybe that is worth remembering.

@Dominic2306 Ooooooh but nor am I. So who? Arrrrrrrrrrrgggghhhhhhh. Will have to play catch-up. Rapidly.

NB a golden rules of politics: given the apex of power does not take nuclear security seriously, never assume theyre taking anything seriously. dominiccummings.substack.com/p/systems-prob…

i wrote a lot about the dangers of nuclear escalation, future of war, interaction of procurement/strategy, nonlinear crises dominiccummings.com/2017/01/13/unr… dominiccummings.com/2019/03/01/on-… dominiccummings.com/2017/09/29/rev…

@____B_S____ Ol’ Blue Eyes (…. Wait. Is this a Race Thing? Oh crap. *shuts down account*.. *starts another*)

Which one wud you pick?

@salonium Agree. Just asking for a friend, but is this all public? Didn’t I put a private setting on?! (*panics in future*)

One reason Twitter is hostile is that people don't really know in advance how many will read their tweets. You might write something silly for your small audience, but wish you added more context & spent more time thinking about details if 10,000s of people were going to read it

@elonmusk What I want to know is.. do I have to pay to put that lovely “spoiler alert” thing on all my tweets? (Am not blue-tick-able… there but for the grace).

you get what you pay for

@hughlaurie Well.. yeah.. except would i’d ve been happy to contrib to a 2000s local banksy on ground of amusement (even at point of desecration as impermanence = interesting too)

Asking people to pay for a thing that only has value because it can’t be paid for is quite a Banksy move.

@MrKennethClarke @BorisJohnson Ok.. soz. Obvs Parody account. Shoulda known.

Dear @BorisJohnson, I hear Rwanda is a lovely place to spend your retirement. Ken

@MrKennethClarke @BorisJohnson Is Ken actually tweeting this? I suspect not.

@elonmusk Meant former! 🤦🏼‍♀️ don’t know what I’m doing here. Not my medium

Advertisers should support:

@elonmusk Obvs the latter, Elon but need it be so binary?!
