The early crypto skeptics deserve more credit. Not only did they call all of this, they did so in the face of constant shaming and harrassment. (Not to mention everyone pointing to the increasing value of their crypto wallets as evidence that they were wrong.)

Maybe he should try going to a mountain refugio in Spain. Maybe hand wash some socks whilst he’s there.

I was discussing holidays with a good friend and fellow academic. As he put it, thinkers don’t get holidays because they always take the basic tool of their trade with them. I know the problem.

Plenty of space to build on then. Let’s get on with it.

From rolling chalk downs, rich #grasslands, and #wildflowermeadows, our county has so much to offer. That’s why it is so important for us to continue to protect our #greenspaces from unreasonable development. Find out more cpresurrey.org.uk/get-involved/

musk's basic problem is that twitter was not being run by lefty sjw types surpressing free speech, it was being run by business people who were trying to make money. with the same aim he'll end up trial-and-erroring his way back to their exact policies

If you stand in a big long line in a pub, snaking out of the door, I will just stroll past you all, stand at the bar and order my drink. Why you’ve started this nonsense of queuing like this I don’t know, but it needs to stop.

My prayers are with @trussliz and her family following her resignation, and I give thanks for her public service to our country. We should always be grateful to those who take on the great and difficult responsibilities of leadership.

Yeah, this is bollocks.

Everybody literally loves you. You are so lovable. Your ideas matter. They’re interesting and unique. People love hearing you talk+ they’re so engaged with you. Your confidence, beauty and brains is so attractive. You are inspiring. You don’t have to try, just being you is enough

I grew up in Leeds around the same time Truss did. Leeds in the mid 90s was great. Yes, it had it’s problems as any city does, but if she spent her teens or early 20s there in the mid 90s and came away thinking it was shit then the problem was with her, not the city.
Quote Tweet
Absolutely fascinates me that Liz Truss has made “I grew up in Leeds and it was shit” the cornerstone of her political message

How does Kanye West still have a Twitter account? Surely the blatant antisemitism is enough to get him kicked off. He’s vile.

Wait, so Liz Truss is good now? This is all very confusing.
Quote Tweet
Widespread dismay at the fact that 3 years of work has effectively been put on hold. No one asked for this. C4 sale, online safety, BBC licence feee review - all signed off by cabinet all ready to go, all stopped. If Liz wants a whole new mandate, she must take to the country. twitter.com/LizzyBuchan/st…

it absolutely possible to think that police are too quick to use unnecessary force, have too many powers, and desperately need reforming, and also that the rollerblade kid is a muppet. these are not mutually exclusive.

Absolutely right. The rollerblader got exactly what he deserved.
Quote Tweet
i’ll die on the hill that the rollerblader was the one in the wrong and that the cops reacted completely proportionally

Always good to see organisations promote talent from within rather than hire externally!

In one of the most seamless transitions ever seen, Shadia Edwards-Dashti moved straight from a six year stint at the Kremlin propaganda channel RT to the "Stop the War Coalition". She served the Kremlin right up to the invasion of Ukraine. twitter.com/CpbManc/status…

Ooof, she’s said the quiet bit out loud.

So what? But he's black! In the US every single leading black politician would have condemned that shooting of an unarmed black man by police. twitter.com/OwenJones84/st…
