In case X goes away sooner rather than later I have set up a Link Tree with links to some possible replacements: https://t.co/FKEc3AsWMq I'm not sure if I should add a discord username on there? Or a general email address?

I'm not saying sport is magic, but I'm also not *not* saying that. British Asians have been part of a multicultural Britain for decades, if not centuries, and people can love both here *and* there and they are *still British*.
Scenes at Edgbaston where India are playing Pakistan but people are watching the England game. 2 sets of rival supporters united by their love of England! #PakvsInd #ENGSUI #comeonengland #england

In the 1980s, a 21 year old shop worker in Dublin called Mary Manning refused to put a single grapefruit through the tills. Why? Because it was a product of apartheid South Africa. And though she was pressured and threatened by management, and eventually suspended along with 9

Man with allegations of sexual misconduct supports another man with allegations of misconduct because shitheels stick together and expect the patriarchy to ensure they never face consequences.

More than "Fortune 500 companies aren't moral actors" they are, in fact, the very thing that AI people have been warning about: a system with power and a goal that isn't aligned with humanity. We don't need to worry about an AGI turning everything to paperclips with them about!
I had this exchange with Elon here on Twitter over a year ago and we are still having the same conversation so I guess…let’s do this. Fortune 500 companies aren’t overly moral actors. They make decisions based on whether they think they will make more or less money.

I've seen a few displays like this near me. When I was a child, the idea of Remembrance Sunday *decorations* would have seemed ludicrous. This is not remembrance, this is War Christmas.

Because Israel wants to continue committing genocide, out of sight. Because Israel wants to continue committing war crimes, out of sight. Because Israel wants to continue committing ethnic cleansing, out of sight. Genocide committed in the dark is still genocide.

I'm not saying Twitter is falling apart but I keep being followed by obvious bots - users with either no posts of their own or a single post formed of random text.

When you see what Israel is doing in the West Bank, where Hamas is not in power, it becomes the impossible to believe their lies that this is about a war on terrorists. You’re forced to confront that this is about ethnic cleansing.
If the war is on Gaza, why are Palestinians being killed in the West Bank? Here’s what you need to know.

If you think you're going to find a way to express solidarity with Palestinians that is palatable to libs and other ghouls, you're in for a fucking wake up call.

"I (Hamas is bad) support (Hamas is bad) Palestinian (Hamas is bad) rights (Hamas is bad) to (Hamas is bad) freedom (Hamas is bad) from (Hamas is bad) genocide (Hamas is bad) & (Hamas is bad) to self-determination (Hamas is very bad, I denounce Hamas, don't hurt me!)" Like that?

The bombing of Dresden, even if they "only" killed 25,000 civilians, is, just like the American nuclear bombings of Japan, something that many consider a war crime. The point of the Hague & Geneva Conventions is that "winning at all costs" is abhorrent.
@Frances_Coppola In every war there are things that we might wish we had avoided. No one with compassion thinks that the Dresden bombings were a ‘good’ thing in WW2 either, but we had to defeat the enemy. Sometimes that’s what it’s about. Action, and resolution.

Also worth noting that the big reason that Hamas even exists in the first place is because Israel funded it in order to destabilise and counter the PLO.

There have been like a dozen stories now which are like "here's photo evidence of the Palestinians doing an unspeakably horribly thing" and an hour later they'll say "correction: the people in the picture doing the horrible thing are the IDF. Whoopsies!"
