@oaklandpoliceca I just watched the Miles Armstead murder by Jamal Thomas, and was appalled at the way your police dept handled this situation. Scolding the victim was insane. I HOPE for the actual safety of your residents, you use this to better train yourselves because a family lost their dad.

... In front of police. And what did they get? Ridiculed and their situation belittled. A beautiful girl is growing up without her dad, a courageous woman without her husband, because of your neglect. Jamal Thomas should hang. #WorstNeighbourEver

Watched #WorstNeighbourEver and found myself in floods of tears at the needless death of a wonderful father and husband #MilesArmstead because the f***ing police couldn't do their job. 23 times their windows were smashed in, bricks and rocks thrown at them, death threats...

Hi Lou! Nice to hear from you. Hope you're keeping okay in this heat! X

[Lara Edwards @LaraJEdwards]

I'm just going to stay awake until I'm not hot. #Heatwave

My toxic trait is watching #MAFS fervently with the husband, while already knowing how all the couples end. Don't tell him, he'll be so pissed.

@Leightonauthor What a fantastic (albeit terribly sad) story it is. Thank you for putting it together.

Media reporting that the Afghan suspect in the Clapham acid attack snuck into the UK on a lorry, had two asylum claims rejected, was convicted of a sex crime, 'converted to Christianity', and had a third asylum application granted. Our asylum system is an absolute shambles.

Had zumba tonight for the first time since before Jake. I forgot how good it makes you feel shaking your (now much more wobbly) ass.

Fireworks in residential areas should be banned. Only organised fireworks displays in centralised, advertised areas should be allowed to reduce disruption and dismay to animals and children. There I said it. Happy New Years you filthy animals.

Apparently "X for Xylophone" is not a massively helpful way to read out one's postcode to the Chinese takeaway man. Chris has been laughing at me all night.

As the day winds down, the brain ticks faster on the pillow. 😕

Stop targeting me with shiny, pretty things that are exactly my style right before Christmas. I agree with @elonmusk, fuck off advertisers! 😂

It’s been 3 days and I’m still more shocked that Russell Brand is considered a comedian than I am that he’s a pervert, allegedly.

Our levels of desire, patience, persistence, and confidence end up playing a much larger role in success than sheer reasoning powers.

Feeling motivated and energized, we can overcome almost anything. Feeling bored and restless, our minds shut off, and we become increasingly passive.

Is there a way of blocking any and all news relating to anybody related to the Kardashians. I don't want it. Ever. It's like a cat that follows you because it knows you hate cats.

Just finished watching this and I was enthralled & emotional when you got to the dinaledi chamber! Mind blowing discoveries. What a fascinating hominid. #CaveOfBones #Netflix. How curious we use a hashtag to signify meaning on Twitter... The same as Naledi ages ago. @LeeRberger
