Whoah, this will be interesting.

Let's see those 'pro-lifers' go full Nazi (well, more Nazi)

If this isn't an actual consultancy area yet, it should have been for ages, and will be pretty soon.

@tuban_muzuru Honestly, i don't know. Oil, while ugly and dirty, is fundamentally useful. You really can't say the same thing for an algorithm @inthehands

I genuinely can't begin to imagine the horror of being in this situation, can you?

I do wonder if many Americans - anti-Trump Americans - need to believe in the intrigue of Russian kompromat to explain Trump's obeisance to Putin because to reject that idea is to have to truly absorb the reality that they have a President who feels no loyalty to his own country.

Let me give you a little piece of insight. Nations are abstract; wives are concrete. Any man who can fuck a porn star while his wife is pregnant has no loyalty to ANYONE OR ANYTHING.

On balance, I think we really don't grasp how deeply mentally ill Trump is and has been for a long, long time.

Something to do with the way the media covered him has really managed to blind many Americans to the obscenity of the man currently running their country.

Sex offender, serial embezzler, tax evader, blackmailer, inciter of insurrection, extortionist, he fucking tore down half the fucking WHITE HOUSE.

But people still want to fantasise the existence of some spicy Russian kompromat.

You know, I walked into the kitchen, and look what I found on a plate on the counter! #8647

It might as well be Hiroshima or Nagasaki.

It blows my mind that our leaders cannot acknowledge this.

Today I'm making lentil soup with chorizo. It is usually made with less tomato and potatoes, but neither Don nor I are big fans of potatoes in soup.

My neighbour dropped in and said: "You are putting too many vegetables in your soup."

And I said: "when was the last time anyone ever said: 'whoah, there are way too many vegetables in this soup'?" #cooking

I would like to wish all the workers of the world a happy May Day.

We are the force that keeps the world turning. Not money, not techbros, not politicians...

Us. We make every necessary thing happen. Never forget it. #MayDay

I need to warn you that I have very little patience for people who insinuate that getting out onto the streets and protesting is useless and not worth the effort.

It is terribly fashionable to be cynical about civil, peaceful protest. But it is deeply demoralising and often people can be easily dissuaded from making the effort by that cynicism.

No act that joins people together in protest for a better society is useless, even if only because it makes you feel less alone.

I feel a rant coming on....

I do not want to hear about how dangerous some guy with a gun and a knife rushing into the WH Press Dinner was.

Donald Trump is FAR FAR MORE DANGEROUS. He's killed thousands of absolutely innocent people.

He's not a victim. He's a fucking murderer, along with his shabby, crazed junta buddies.

I just got a WhatsApp message from my friend in Tehran.

I don't want to speak for her, so I will just pass on her words:

I can't believe I'm alive
We had massive explosions in my neighbourhood
So close
So terrifying
Broke the windows
Shaked the building
I feel numb
The city is not the same
Neither people
Neither life

Then our connection dropped.

@Voline @cstross

I'm so glad she did. Because this criminalisation of speaking an actual, proveable FACT is obscene.

And, quite frankly, it is doing the Labour Party insane levels of damage which will last for years.

Ultimately, no amount of denial or surpressing of the reality of Gaza is going to erase what is happening there from the history books.

@Voline @cstross I suspect, historically speaking, this criminalisation of Palestine Action will end up ranking with Tony Blair taking the UK into the Iraq war as some of Labour's most self-harming acts.

Okay, I really like Pope Leo, and I’m an atheist.

It’s just refreshing to see one powerful person who truly isn’t scared of Donald Trump.

It occurred to me this morning that it has now been over a decade in which we have all been forced to hear something about Donald Trump every fucking day - often many times a day.

There are people in journalism who have no experience of a world in which we actually covered many different topics in a day.

I feel like I've been mentally force fed McDonalds for ten years non-stop.

I would like it to be over before I die, please.
