RTE’s reverential coverage of the Pope’s visit was not journalism. It was propaganda for an institution that has been criminally complicit in the rape and buggery of children around the world and is the prime institutional carrier of mysogyny and homophobia.

More than 3,600 people died in the Troubles; millions of us grew up with them. We had the imagination to move beyond them. @Jacob_Rees_Mogg you have the ignorance, complacency, vanity + disregard to call for some of their conditions to return. How fucking dare you. Shame on you.

Guilty is the bad one right?

@MrTomYoull hugely jealous. When I worked there the normal day went: sell books and say hello to authors, finish at 5, dinner, drunk, shows, sleep. Repeat. Very good days

@austin_walker hey Austen. I've really enjoyed some of your recent threads on management and labor practices. I'll be starting a job managing a team soon and I wonder if there are any advice/articles/threads you'd recommend on how best to help staff develop within an organisation

@austin_walker @patrickklepek Hey guys, just wanted to give you both a shout out for your interview. It was a really illuminating read. It's left me thinking about PR led dev interviews. That fandom is creating the very culture it hates

And one final, mid-afternoon bump of this interview that @patrickklepek and I did with Sean Murray. Good lunch or commute reading imo

I misspoke. I meant to say I “wouldn’t” be right here waiting for you.

@chrisgrant Woof. Something i've learned from internet culture is anyone who writes 'alas' or 'methinks' in an email or comment is probably a bit of a dick

@munko123 @OwenJones84 And there are things like days off, or flexi-time, or non-traditional hours, or good bosses or any number of reasons they might want to protest. Now fuck off.

@OwenJones84 Dont these people have work? Maybe @jeremycorbyn has called a public holiday. #pathetic

Oh my word. This protest is absolutely huge. On a week day as well. Wow. #TrumpProtests

@jellison88 @janewilkinson59 @EmmaKennedy What a great sentence

@facebook @oliverdarcy What is the left equivalent of infowars?

@oliverdarcy We see Pages on both the left and the right pumping out what they consider opinion or analysis – but others call fake news. We believe banning these Pages would be contrary to the basic principles of free speech.

Facebook invited me to an event today where the company aimed to tout its commitment to fighting fake news and misinformation. I asked them why InfoWars is still allowed on the platform. I didn't get a good answer. money.cnn.com/2018/07/11/med…

@facebook @oliverdarcy You have no idea what you're doing.

@ZacGoldsmith ha ha ha

Boris could literally throw himself in front of a bus to save a child, and his opponents would still accuse him of being opportunistic. He’d never have wanted to resign from one of the great offices of state. That he did so shows how much he cares about respecting the referendum

Useless! twitter.com/Independent/st…

@pwnallthethings This is something i've been thinking about. Did they just stumble upon another source of novichok meant for the Skrpals? Does this type of nerve agent just wait around for so long without degrading?

The myth of the collaborative wonders of the open office debunked in new study. A tyranny of interruption, distraction, and stress for workers that require uninterrupted time for creative work. A way to squander the attention of highly paid workers to save money on real estate. twitter.com/danluu/status/…

@adam22 The sweet exploitation of others for your personal benefit

shockingly, if you want a really cool job, you might have to do it for free for a while.

Watch Angelica Gonzalez-Garcia and her 8-year-old daughter reunite at Boston's Logan Airport in a CNN exclusive report. Gonzalez-Garcia and her child were separated in Arizona for 55 days after fleeing Guatemala for the US, citing domestic violence at home cnn.it/2NqDPkm

@austin_walker No no no, the penalty shootout is the highest form of sport stress! We need more, always more!

I'm honestly just begging for someone to put it away on either side in the second half of extra time. Please. Someone end my sports stress

I genuinely think if this match had another 20 minutes in it, Columbia could find an opening. Ah, so it goes.
