People of Britain, it may be time to (re)read this book. It's mainly pictures, so you won't find it too hard

I think it’s time to leave Twitter. It sucks now. @elonmusk is a modern day Lord Copper. He’s a massive wanker, utter narcissist and capitalist arse. I’d rather have Rupert Murdoch run it. This platform is now a significant part of the problem, and is just … it’s just awful

Doctor: Do you have any traumatic childhood events that could be a trigger for your anxiety? Me:

@Dave_Maynor I now desperately want to know if you have shot the grappling hook up something and then climbed up it

Enough real talk. To prove I am an adult, here is me, my grappling hook, and a stiffed MewTwo. I am an adult! If you don't have your stuffed MewTeo and grappling hook, then why adult?
English
are lame. When considering what kinda Ghook you want don't take advice from Hookless people.
Anyway my repeated requests to be come part of the global Ghook enabled elite was constantly shot down by parents with the "when you move out and pay your own bills you can get one."'

@rorysutherland I did not know that Sardinia was so sheep-dense

This map helps explain why a deviant restaurant chain called "German Doner Kebab" offers a choice between chicken and beef, but no lamb.
Using the same logic, why not open a restaurant chain called "German KFC" and then refuse to sell chicken?

I just have to agree with this and I don’t care who knows

The idea that the BBC is a waste of money, can get fucked. Our publicly owned broadcaster is the ONLY thing we do better than anyone else in the world. 'In Our Time' on Radio 4 alone is worth the licence fee.

@IanDunt If you’ve not found Ben and Holly yet, I urge you to. It’s the solution

@BBCNewsnight Victoria Derbyshire and Nick Watt, killer duo. Derbyshire has been an absolute shot in the arm for NN. Still the best news show going even after everything that’s been done to it

I bet Maggie's portrait is glad it no longer has to share an office with Starmer Chameleon - the only PM in history to look at the world through sleaze-tainted specs

@IanDunt Wow Ian you’re miles off on this. Banning smoking in the street? That’s authoritarian and you might as well just ban smoking (and perhaps we should). But banning it in commercial spaces that other non-smoking customers have to share? Just dealing with an anti-social behaviour.

If I wanted leverage for a peace negotiation with Russia and I’d lost 20% of my country, the smartest move before walking to the table would be to take a tasty chunk of my enemy’s territory…

One of the main achievements of the offensive in the Kursk region is how the situation affects the mood in the West. Ukraine is using Western weapons in the offensive and there has been no escalation from Russia. On the contrary, apart from whining about the attack at the UN, 1/7

‘Spicy memes’ or ‘posting my thoughts online’ could *also* be inciting racial hatred and violence. A shocking piece of news for some, it would appear.

@CharlesTTHF This is what happens when Silicon Valley moves from experiments with disregarding laws (Uber/Lime etc) to proactively screwing with social systems. The ‘move fast and break things’ model does seem to be breaking things. Who’d a thunk it!?
English
@RupertWhite Yes and I've now found proof that this was the precise effect intended

Just to add, this was the effect intended. This is what X's director of engineering, Haofei Wang, said in May, before the change:

So interesting bc it’s so obviously true that when people can like content without social judgement, they will do more than they did. But in some countries you want to express engagement without govt knowing. It’s a real conundrum
Charles Tallack@CharlesTTHF
When, on 12 June, Elon Musk made Likes on X private (so that only a post author can see who likes their post) this seemed like a small change. But small changes in complex systems like X can have big, unpredictable effects. 1/7

I’m delighted to see Community Notes defending the cat which is not a cat

Nothing to see here, just the guy who bought Twitter having free speech explained to him by a cat

You have no idea what our wonderful country is really like and are, like the planet Mars, both toxic and empty.

@LeoKearse Why does the UK media, with a few exceptions, just parrot the government?

@Max_Plaid @Aiannucci @FanaticFennec @LynnPW @corcc11 @checkmateb1tch @Juleschao They’re confused, I’ll tell you that.

@Aiannucci @FanaticFennec @LynnPW @corcc11 @checkmateb1tch @Juleschao OK, how about this: I'm British, my father was born near Glasgow, my mum in Shropshire. I moved to Belgium in 1999 and married a Dane. We had kids in 2003 & 2006 and I gained Belgium nationality in 2017 to keep my EU citizenship
Starter for 10: what nationality are my kids?

As I fully expected, @x has decided that the guy who urged his followers three times to find my home address and hoped I would get attacked with a machete (in a now deleted tweet), did not break its rules, which merely confirms that there are no rules anymore. 1/
