It's really easy to make Twitter a nicer place. Secret formula I've followed since the days of Fidonet, newsgroups, IRC, mailing lists and forums: Follow kind people. People who contribute to conversation and share joy, fallibility and mischief. It'll rub off on you.

What a tragic waste of these young people.

Iran attempted to strike Diego Garcia, located 3,800km from its shores, revealing it possesses intermediate-range missiles capable of reaching much, or even all, of Europe. Thread on what we know about Iran's long-range missile capabilities. 1/18

Quite the lede from The Economist: and quite the cover. “Although President Donald Trump says he has “destroyed 100% of Iran’s Military Capability”, the 0% that remains is playing havoc with the global economy.” And now quite the cover: @glcarlstrom

@aliciaandrz A day by day. Go gettem Alicia!

those of you who’ve followed me for a while know I got 2 years of sobriety then relapsed during a major depressive episode. I thought I wouldn’t be alive much longer, so it didn’t matter. I’ve been struggling ever since but I’m proud to say today is two weeks sober. we carry on.

Trump says he doesn’t need us - so let’s wrap up this AUKUS shitfuckery

RETWEET if you stand with Mark Kelly against Donald Trump!

BREAKING: Trump attacks Texas Democrat James Talarico — and gets a FIERY sermon in response that he won’t forget Donald Trump thought he could score cheap political points by calling James Talarico an “insult to Jesus” because the Texas Democratic Senate candidate is “beyond woke” and believes that God does not discriminate on the basis of gender. Unfortunately for Dementia Don, he picked the wrong person. Standing in a Black church in Texas, Talarico didn’t just clap back — he delivered a moral reckoning. “The president of the United States just said that I insulted Jesus,” Talarico began. “You want to know what insults Jesus? Kicking the sick off their health care while cutting taxes for billionaires.” And that was only just the start. “You know what insults Jesus?” he continued. “Deporting the stranger and separating babies from their mothers.” Then he went even further — taking aim at war, corruption, and hypocrisy. “You know what insults Jesus? Bombing innocent school children in Iran and sending our brave men and women off to die in another forever war… Covering up the Epstein files and then refusing to prosecute a single person in them.” This wasn’t politics as usual. This was a full-on moral indictment. Talarico — who has been attacked by Trump for supporting transgender Americans and saying “trans children are God’s children” — flipped the script entirely. Instead of backing down, he grounded his message in the very teachings Trump tried to weaponize. “I am not a perfect Christian,” he said. “There’s only been one perfect Christian and he was crucified on a cross 2,000 years ago.” And then came the line that hit hardest: “Jesus told us to love our neighbors as ourselves… Can we imagine war in heaven? Can we imagine bigotry in heaven? Can we imagine poverty in heaven? Then why do we tolerate these things on earth?” That’s how you respond. Not with insults. Not with fear. But with clarity — and conviction. Trump tried to smear him. Instead, Talarico delivered a sermon that’s now echoing far beyond that church. Please like and share James Talarico’s inspiring words!

First, the Omani FM came out and revealed that there was a deal on the table that met Trump's demands, but that he instead chose war. And now, it is revealed that the British National Security Advisor was also part of the talks, and he too attests to the fact that A) there was no imminent threat from Iran, B) Trump could have gotten a surprisingly good deal if he stuck to diplomacy. But the perhaps most damning quote in the story comes at the end, attributed to an unnamed diplomat: “We regarded Witkoff and Kushner as Israeli assets that dragged a president into a war he wants to get out of.” theguardian.com/world/2026/mar…

He took the greatest military force in world history, lost a war to a middle power in a week, begged the world to save him, and demanded that the media lie about this and everything else. I try, but at a simple human level I do not see how anyone can mistake this man’s almost supernatural weakness for strength. His weakness is something negative, gravitational, so deep that it can draw in a whole country. But only if we fail to see it. Only if we let it.

Editorial: Matt Canavan is a climate sceptic and a social reactionary. He is anti-abortion, anti-marriage equality, anti-trans rights. He supports costly policies to keep mothers at home. He wants as much of the past as he can get. satpa.pe/PR4rRfl

@LakotaMan1 You have great taste in birthday presents!

Dennis Ritchie created C in the early 1970s without Google, Stack Overflow, GitHub, or any AI ( Claude, Cursor, Codex) assistant. - No VC funding. - No viral launch. - No TED talk. - Just two engineers at Bell Labs. A terminal. And a problem to solve. He built a language that fit in kilobytes. 50 years later, it runs everything. Linux kernel. Windows. macOS. Every iPhone. Every Android. NASA’s deep space probes. The International Space Station. > Python borrowed from it. > Java borrowed from it. > JavaScript borrowed from it. If you have ever written a single line of code in any language, you did it in Dennis Ritchie’s shadow. He died in 2011. The same week as Steve Jobs. Jobs got the front pages. Ritchie got silence. This Legend deserves to be celebrated.

Robert De Niro on Donald Trump: "He’s a punk. He’s a dog. He’s a pig. He’s a con. A BS artist. A mutt who doesn’t know what he’s talking about. Doesn’t do his homework. Doesn’t care. Doesn’t pay his taxes. He’s an idiot." RETWEET if you stand with Dr Niro!

Tim Wilson you utter, utter Flog Begone.
