Twitter began as adjunct to being a (local) politician but is now a way for an OG to howl at the moon, get news and see footage of Mars or cats chasing dogs.

Is this the best World Cup team photo of all time?

Bravo, Norway 🇳🇴⚔️

@estherzelda0514 Ditto. I did not have the benefit of the specific knowledge you refer to. But like you, I switched from being a fan to a critic of Pod Save due to team's clearly dishonest and ultimately prejudiced reporting on everything Israel. The obsession and unilateralism became nauseating

Bro this might be the greatest thing I have ever seen in my life

@JamieMetzl My Labour Party here in the UK had the same nightmare w/the Corbynista faction. Astounding to see so many red fascists claim to be progressive. Went agst my lifetime assumption that being Left = promoting the politics of love. These were haters simply hating different targets

@Eve_Barlow @HeidiBachram I sympathize Eve cuz same could be happening to me w/few ppl. But I couldn't care less & suggest you adopt same attitude. If they reveal themselves to be such ugly haters we should never have been friends in the first place. Good riddance. There are plenty of lovely people around

Catfu shows no mercy😼

I could literally watch these videos for hours. Best meme out there right now.

@CrewkerneMan Chaver, far be it from me to criticise anyone's Aliyah. For millennia we've yearned to return home, next year in Jerusalem. At the same time, as a diaspora guy I also feel like we should stay here in our beautiful Western democracies and fight the bad guys. Don't let them win

@JonathanCape Friends, do you have a French language translation of Howard Jacobson's Howl? A great book I've already devoured, and where I know there would be big French demand...something I might actually be able to help you with. Please let me know. Thanks

@fiago7 Warte mal, bist Du gleichzeitig Fan von HSV und von Tottenham? Ich auch, seit >35 Jahren! Dachte ich war der einzige der Welt, der dieses Paar unterstuzt. Meine Frau stammt aus HH (zur Zeit von Magath/Hrubesch/Kaltz) und wir wohnen in Nord London. COYS!

@RoryStewartUK The March 11 anniversary is next week. The more forgiving question is to ask you, Rory and Pedro, how it is that you've forgotten so quickly. The more penetrating question is to ask why you've forgotten so quickly. Does it not suit your narrative? That's the problem w/facts

...(2) Quand Martel refait surface comme videur avec Bruce/Thierry 20 ans apres l'Algérie (donc au plus tard 20 ans apres 1962 donc en 1982), il compte son argent en euros. Mais en 1982 on comptait encore en francs francais. C'est tout. Sinon, le livre est excellent. Continuez!

[Alan Sitkin 🌍 @AlanSitkinLdn]

Dear @math_nicolas Primo, j'adore vos livres! Vous (avec un ou deux autres) avez redonné vie a la literature francaise apres les années funestes d'Houllebecq et autres esoteriques. Bravo. Ceci dit, juste une petite correction dans "Aux animaux la guerre" si vous permettez...(1)

First political tweet in a long time. It's also been a long time since I've agreed with anything written in the @guardian formerly my newspaper of reference. But I agree with this. What the West Midlands police did at Villa-Maccabi was awful https://t.co/27WcwlGWFC

@totnumjoe Comments so far haven't figured out what you're getting at. Namely how hard it will be for announcers to do their job! "Kulu, Kudus, Kulu, Kudus" = tongue twister

[Alan Sitkin 🌍 @AlanSitkinLdn]

@BenMFreeman I'd never discourage anyone from Aliyah. It's a great thing. Even so, I don't agree that the diaspora should relinquish our wondrous Western homelands to the bastards. The argument to stay & fight is strong. cf FDR, the only thing we have to fear is fear itself

[Ezra Klein @ezraklein]

It's ghoulish to mock or justify the shooting of Charlie Kirk. Rising political violence is a horror of our time. Unchecked it will lead to catastrophes none of us want to imagine.

Deeply hoping he pulls through. We are all people, whatever we believe. That has to come first.
