@Gargron Physical media, as I have said before, is not obsolete. It's just being marketed that way.

@AnarchoNinaWrites The discourse may as well be a bunch of Celtic and Rangers fans about to bottle each other over the offside rule. Meanwhile, civilians have suffered and will continue to suffer, and the same old cycle will recommence once again.

@AnarchoNinaWrites Ah, nothing like a bit of Leviathan on a Friday afternoon...

"#UK to return to #EU’s flagship #HorizonScience #Research programme

"Post-#Brexit return to £85bn scheme discussed this week, say sources, and is set to be announced on Thursday..."

@emma All rooted in that pathetic urge to complicate everything, combined with an equally pathetic urge to stigmatise the poor, with an added inability to do the bleeding obvious. Also, being completely unable to grasp how sharing works.

Apparently, the #DailyMail has just launched "Woke Watch", where red faced pillocks send in angry e-mails, complaining about transgender asylum seekers giving their house prices pronoun cancer, or something.

Anyway, UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES should one e-mail wokewatch@dailymail.co.uk to #Troll, #Shitpost or just plain take the piss. No, that would be WRONG. Oh, for shame!

@Gargron @Mastodon Cool! Thanks for the swift reply. And yes, do sign me/the kiddies up for a mammoth or two.

@Mastodon Will there be cuddly toys eventually?

@padraig Is the arse instantly recognisable?

In non-shocking #News, #Dutch politicans and activists have claimed that #Twitter is no longer suitable for sharing #Emergency updates.

In other words, it's now behind a semi-paywall and full of #Disinformation.

Now, is there some altogether less dodgy alternative? I do wonder what it might be. Shall I ask this big #Mammoth over here if he has any ideas?

"Twitter not suited for
Emergency communications, Dutch say after #Storm..."

Fuck off and flop into a ditch, you worthless fungoid parasite. You've ruined lives, suckled fascism on your floppy moob, and your journalism's crap too. #BorisJohnson

@JapanProf Thanks!

@JapanProf Oh, what's her Mastodon handle? I'd like to follow her out of solidarity.

@Gargron I've been polluting the fediverse with my presence since 2018, and this is the first time I've seen CWs being made such an issue. Partly, I think this is down to the old guard feeling a bit worried and trying to mark out its turf.

For my part, I use them on my own discretion, not whether @thingy@mammoth.trunk in Sacramento will tell me off if I don't.

If everyone is doing their best, and in good faith, and the vast majority of people here are, I personally see it as a non-issue.
