I will vote NO on Resolutions 6 and 7 this evening at the @Soc_of_Authors AGM. I request fellow members to think hard and vote with their conscience: https://t.co/XVzvdxHoUi
It’s today. Regardless of results, I will continue to work for the excluded, marginalised, unjustly treated amongst our community. It’s what I have always done. And always will do. But I hope your vote leaves your conscience intact and you on the right side of history

When I and several other TED community members came forward about being harassed by TED speaker Adam Foss, I was told that a member of senior leadership at the organization said we were leading a "witch hunt" and a "lynch mob." Adam Foss was later charged with rape.

This is not true. We are seeking a correction. The Charity Commission Chair's annual speech made no mention of the National Trust or the other charities who spoke up to defend our nature protection laws. ' https://t.co/PR3PKawru5 via @MailOnline

Since Elon Musk took over, Jewish hate is surging on Twitter. Terms associated with #Jew are being tweeted over 5,000 times per hour and the most engaged tweets are overtly antisemitic.

Just to be clear, he *also* fired the team who *built* and *shipped* this.
Twitter will soon add ability to attach long-form text to tweets, ending absurdity of notepad screenshots

Promising, not adding. Pledging, not giving. Just like the truck that people started driving last year.
