Twitter is dead, killed by the Musk mind virus. Find me anywhere but here:

I’m all for saving the environment but that’s going to taste disgusting.

This should absolutely terrify you. We live in an age of rising authoritarianism. The prospect of a right-wing authoritarian government in the UK is far from a fantasy. Combine with ever more sophisticated surveillance tech - and consider how dissent could be made impossible.

In a decent country this is the end of her career. A congressman using a slur to blame a minority for violence with no evidence is so evil that I shouldn’t even need to say anything about it. But clearly, we’re not even people to most Americans. Imagine if this was the n word.

The biggest thing Zach Polanski has revealed is that every other politician is in an agreed performance with the media where they’ll all say the same thing, and that the media has no idea what to do when you have someone who won’t play on their terms

Ken Murphy is Tesco’s UK CEO and the highest paid supermarket boss. He gets £9,930,000 a year, but is registered to pay tax in the Republic of Ireland. Not a penny of his outrageous salary is collected in tax, despite almost all Tesco’s earnings coming from the UK. It’s theft.

76% of extremist-related killings in the last decade have been committed by right-wingers. 4% by leftists. Trump, Musk and co are trying to paint political violence as just a left issue. It's not even close to true.

Banksy: The British government is censoring people too much British government [thinking very hard]: We must censor Banksy

Say what you like about Banksy, but with these two pictures, he's managed to sum up the attitude of 'British democracy' to free speech when it comes to Israel and the genocide in Gaza. Trotsky once said that art must tell the truth. I'd say he's met that standard.

…, this site has become totally unusable in recent months. Platforms like Bluesky are successfully recreating the community magic of early twitter with the added benefits of decentralisation and good UX. Musk killed something great — let's make something better elsewhere.

I've been a Twitter user since April 2008 — when it was still just a platform for sending group SMS messages. This is the social platform I loved the most, and where I grew my biggest community, so I've been hesitant to leave completely. But, besides platforming Nazis…

Never has a crime so obscene been so confessed to, so endlessly, so shamelessly, so proudly

Sky is looking a lot bluer over here. 🦋 Would love to find more of my favourite Twitter folks! https://t.co/jgqiTURvv6

Millennials were taught media literacy. We had to provide sources for everything, and it couldn’t be Wikipedia. We had to actually go to the library and pull out encyclopedias. Gen-Z lives in a much different media ecosystem.

Not to punch at other generations I’ve just noticed this for years and maybe I’m wrong but it’s…intriguing to me

Hasan Piker was correct when he talked about young men being constantly flooded with right wing propaganda in all digital spaces they spend time in. The right wing propaganda machine is absolutely enormous and it has a GRIP on them. We need a solution to that, like, yesterday

i think the left and especially democrat liberals need to internalize that intentionally lying is an incredibly useful and good political strategy

New: DoJ officials are evaluating how to wind down the two federal criminal cases against Donald Trump before he takes office to comply with longstanding department policy that a sitting president can’t be prosecuted, per sources.
