For me, social media has become a 21st century ephemeral diary. Not the old kind that stays hidden away. These are reasoned fragments of how I see the world right now, dropped into a space where anyone can find them, fight them, scroll past them, or silently... 1 of 2

How China is reporting the Epstein Files! Communists_of_surprise

O m g. So realistic

France has made planned obsolescence a criminal offense, becoming one of the first countries in the world to treat deliberate product shortening as a serious crime. Manufacturers caught intentionally designing electronics, appliances, or other goods to fail prematurely or become

We would probably be better off if Y2K had actually ruined all the computers back in 2000.

The fact vastly more commentators in my old world, British popular journalism, attacked Pep Guardiola for his politics last week than Jim Ratcliffe for his politics this week, is depressing, alarming and a disgrace all at the same time.

@PippaCrerar @johnharris1969 @kiranstacey I listened to your podcast with your two colleagues via the link provided. Quite frankly, I was rather astonished by the commentary. In many respects it reflected a wider pattern that has become common among political commentators, yourself included. I felt that your own

Walk down any city high street and you’ll see Jamaican bakeries next to Punjabi spice shops. You’ll hear Somali mums chatting with Liverpudlian dads while their kids play football in accents no one can quite place but everyone understands. That’s not a crisis. That’s the cure.

Farage is shouting loud and clear, 'I don't care about what the people want, I don't represent the public, I represent the corporations and their profits'.

I think we haven’t come to terms yet with the reality that every day now something happens that 20 years ago would have been a career-ending global scandal. Our culture has sunk into incredible depths of complacent cruelty and moral degeneracy.

"He who does not read, at 70 years will have lived only one life, his own! He who reads, will have lived 5000 years: He was there when Cain killed Abel, when Renzo married Lucia, when Leopardi admired infinity... Because "Reading is backward immortality." Umberto Eco

"Uber's defense argued it wasn't "practical" to warn or block "high-risk" matches because thousands of rides would be canceled." 😶!!

I think the press has become used to the idea that it should choose the Prime Minister rather than the electorate, due to the weak resistance of successive Tory governments to infighting and scandals from 2016 onwards. Starmer needs to change that narrative.

Wow, this speech from Mayor of New York Zohran Mamdani 👏💯 "They command us not to believe what we see" "They compel us as George Orwell wrote nearly 80 years ago, to reject the evidence of our eyes and our ears" "And they would succeed, were it not for the many among us who

It’s not even making them happy. All that exploitation and extraction, all that parasiting and hoarding and manipulating politics and inserting themselves into governments, and it’s not even making them happy. It would be terrible if these obscenely wealthy oligarchs were

There is so much in this. Things that people obsessed with skin colour completely fail to grasp.

@JimCognito2016 They print what they’ve given. And it’s checked and double-checked. Printers don’t mess with things and risk losing time and money. This is not the first time Reform UK Ltd has tried this.

Everything changes, whilst nothing changes.
