Word of the day is ‘recrudescence’ (17th century): the return of something terrible after a time of reprieve.

[Arnold Schwarzenegger @Schwarzenegger]

I don’t really do endorsements. I’m not shy about sharing my views, but I hate politics and don’t trust most politicians.

I also understand that people want to hear from me because I am not just a celebrity, I am a former Republican Governor.

My time as Governor taught me to love policy and ignore politics. I’m proud of the work I did to help clean up our air, create jobs, balance the budget, make the biggest infrastructure investment in state history, and take power from the politicians and give it back to the people when it comes to our redistricting process and our primaries in California.

That’s policy. It requires working with the other side, not insulting them to win your next election, and I know it isn’t sexy to most people, but I love it when I can help make people’s lives better with policies, like I still do through my institute at USC, where we fight for clean air and stripping the power from the politicians who rig the system against the people.

Let me be honest with you: I don’t like either party right now. My Republicans have forgotten the beauty of the free market, driven up deficits, and rejected election results. Democrats aren’t any better at dealing with deficits, and I worry about their local policies hurting our cities with increased crime.

It is probably not a surprise that I hate politics more than ever, which, if you are a normal person who isn’t addicted to this crap, you probably understand.

I want to tune out.

But I can’t. Because rejecting the results of an election is as un-American as it gets. To someone like me who talks to people all over the world and still knows America is the shining city on a hill, calling America is a trash can for the world is so unpatriotic, it makes me furious.

And I will always be an American before I am a Republican.

That’s why, this week, I am voting for Kamala Harris and Tim Walz.

I’m sharing it with all of you because I think there are a lot of you who feel like I do. You don’t recognize our country. And you are right to be furious.

For decades, we’ve talked about the national debt. For decades, we’ve talked about comprehensive immigration reform that secures the border while fixing our broken immigration system. And Washington does nothing.

The problems just keep rolling, and we all keep getting angrier, because the only people that benefit from problems aren’t you, the people. The only people that benefit from this crap are the politicians who prefer having talking points to win elections to the public service that will make Americans’ lives better.

It is a just game to them. But it is life for my fellow Americans. We should be pissed!

But a candidate who won’t respect your vote unless it is for him, a candidate who will send his followers to storm the Capitol while he watches with a Diet Coke, a candidate who has shown no ability to work to pass any policy besides a tax cut that helped his donors and other rich people like me but helped no one else else, a candidate who thinks Americans who disagree with him are the bigger enemies than China, Russia, or North Korea - that won’t solve our problems.

It will just be four more years of bullshit with no results that makes us angrier and angrier, more divided, and more hateful.

We need to close the door on this chapter of American history, and I know that former President Trump won’t do that. He will divide, he will insult, he will find new ways to be more un-American than he already has been, and we, the people, will get nothing but more anger.

That’s enough reason for me to share my vote with all of you. I want to move forward as a country, and even though I have plenty of disagreements with their platform, I think the only way to do that is with Harris and Walz.

Vote this week. Turn the page and put this junk behind us.

And even if you disagree with me, vote, because that’s what we do as Americans. https://t.co/eHFZ723I4H

3 little girls were murdered 3 months ago. Then and now, it depresses me immensely that some people seem determined to find a way to make this evil tragedy something that justifies their prejudices… or worse still, pander to other people’s for electoral purposes or clicks.

Bravo, ⁦@nytimes⁩ 👏🏼

The more you retweet this, the more Elon will try to deboost it.
It won't go over 5k.

I fully expect Jenrick and Badenoch to announce that they'll revoke this if they come to power

[Paul McCreesh @Paul_McCreesh]

@mezzocheryl While it's always wonderful to see highly talented young musicians, I think it's a complete irrelevance to the main issue: we should teach music to everyone, not to produce virtuosi, or professional musicians, but to deeply enrich the lives of all young people.

[Jon Cooper 🇺🇸 @joncoopertweets]

The irony is that Trump’s 34 felony convictions would prevent him from getting a job at McDonald’s.

[PatriotTakes 🇺🇸 @patriottakes]

A woman gave Trump double middle fingers at the Steelers game. MAGA hasn’t noticed and is posting it everywhere.

[Armando Iannucci @Aiannucci]

No you’re not. You’re an app. But not a news app. Some people post their news on you, while others post unverified and compacted bullshit. It’s like calling a running sewer the number one source of premium content in the city.

Thatcher called bin Laden 'a freedom fighter', Mandela 'a terrorist', Pinochet 'a good friend' and Jimmy Savile 'Sir'. Keir Starmer said hello to Taylor Swift.

[Hedgehog Cabin @HedgehogCabin]

I've had 7 phone calls this morning already, all saying the same thing - "I found a little hedgehog out in the day so I brought her home and I've got her in a box. She's fine really, just hungry, because she's eating well, shall I just release her in the garden?"
Please remember a hedgehog out in the day is a dying animal, desperate for help.
Hypothermia is a stage of dying, when the body redirects blood flow to the heart and lungs, to give them as much oxygen as possible in a desperate attempt to stay alive.
This leaves the extremities feeling cold, forcing nocturnal animals to come out to get the day's warmth, whether the sun is out or not.
But when we see a hedgehog out in the day, even if we've read somewhere that this means they are seriously ill, we like to prove ourselves right - offer food, see if she eats.
Yes! She's eating, so must be okay, just hungry, right? WRONG!
Wild animals are completely different to domesticated animals.
They have a survival imperative to eat, even when dying, because there's no telling when they may find food again.
This has been bred out of our domesticated animals. So appetite is NOT an indicator of heath.
You can only tell a hedgehog is ill because of their abnormal behaviour.
As nocturnal animals, being out in the day is abnormal - no matter how 'healthy' they look.
Once out in the day they are dying.
It's an emergency.
They need urgent treatment from a good rescue (not a vet).
Sick hedgehogs don't always look sick.
But the fact they are out in the day tells you that they are.
So please don't waste precious time offering food or taking photos, please #BeTheirAmbulance and get them to a rescue urgently.

@RevRichardColes For me, that's meal dependent. Set for breakfast/lunch, lay for dinner.

@AndyBurnhamGM @BeeNetwork Will that include the one hour rule, as per @tfl? So often, it would be ideal to jump off the bus at a shop on the journey home and then continue the same journey cost, and not have to pay another £2?
