Ill-informed conjecture, and intermittent grumbling.

@joe43932 @Otto_English Yes they are

I went to 2 Public Schools we were regularly told we where better than poor kids, we were going to be 'captains of British industry', they were going to be our workers

[Paul Fleetwood @MacAlbatross]

@DuffLeopard @GoodwinMJ It must be awful thinking yourself adequate when that's your sort of response

I suppose it's a blessing you'll never be in a position to grasp how much less you are than the decent folk you look down upon

Good luck becoming happy

[Paul Fleetwood @MacAlbatross]

@TheEuropean51 @GoodwinMJ No it isn't

Get a hold of yourself, you're being hysterical

[Paul Fleetwood @MacAlbatross]

@t0nyyates The invalid handle issue was due to DNS issues, which suggests they've fired up a secondary network on a different ip address

They're managing pretty well and in theory they've designed their systems to take big influxes

@QuietRiotPod did a thing with the CEO

[Paul Fleetwood @MacAlbatross]

@ponyfaceddog @AdamRutherford @eyeslasho Do you grasp how how astonishingly deluded and conceited you might appear to people who aren't aware of your genius and credentials?

When the clever people leave a site, the stupid people find nobody to fight with than each other, and they find it as boring as we find you

[Paul Fleetwood @MacAlbatross]

@griffitha @Steven_Swinford Why?

It;s not like the US does trade deals these days

That the US is pro-free trade delusions of the Tories, even when reality has shown them up, persist is quite astonishing

@Smicht @CurtainSilicon Please consider setting up a mirror account where skies are bluer

You'll get more good faith interactions and reach with more humans over nazi/porn bots

[Paul Fleetwood @MacAlbatross]

@Razako3147500 @AnSir86 @P_Kallioniemi Fair enough, I did 15 years of bad faith trolling when I first joined the internet in the dial up days

I can't be fucked with it any more, it no longer brings me joy

[Paul Fleetwood @MacAlbatross]

@AnSir86 @P_Kallioniemi it won't become the same as old twitter

the block function is more powerful, you can delete accounts from your online existence, and you can remove yourself from a dunk quote tweet, making pile-ons a thing of the past

Old school toxic fighty internet behaviour is less tolerated

[Paul Fleetwood @MacAlbatross]

@the_jouni @P_Kallioniemi has done for the last month or two

[Paul Fleetwood @MacAlbatross]

@rolandmcs Fear this duality of belief here is unhelpful

The Russians, Chinese and Iranians run well documented disinformation campaigns at Western countries, mostly finding existing low salience cleavages within groups then making them the big issue

How effective they are is the question

[Paul Fleetwood @MacAlbatross]

@SpaghettiKozak Jake Sullivan is an influential coward, one whom a novice could beat at poker

[Paul Fleetwood @MacAlbatross]

@PolProfSteve He never explained why he denied he was dining with the Russian ambassador during the Brexit campaign, when there's proof that he was

[Paul Fleetwood @MacAlbatross]

@larryjones What do you store in that hole in your soul where decent folks keep their honor and integrity?

[Paul Fleetwood @MacAlbatross]

@LeoMars75 @Otto_English When one suggests someone who is obviously not crying in the first place, what is the intended outcome?

You get to seem quite silly and reduce your credibility, but as someone who used to be a decent troll, what move do you think you're pulling?

[Paul Fleetwood @MacAlbatross]

@disappoptimism Choosing the renown liar Johnson to bounce the nation into an economic disaster, one he was too blasé to understand the details of, so our party could retain power, before failing to understand a pandemic and imposing flu measures for covid, monetising it for our donors was cool

[Paul Fleetwood @MacAlbatross]

@Otto_English Not sure it's not having kids, it's stopping feel any obligation to be cool

Was delighted to see small children being scared by the seriously spooky installation outside a neighbour's house

Savouring genuine joy is soul food

I feel like this may prove to be the most prescient cartoon of the 21st century.
