it’s my 10 yr twitter anniversary and I’m moving away from what was a means of thoughtful communication, discussion, learning and debate and is now a vehicle for misinformation, hate, prejudice and coercive ideologies. It isn’t safe / trustworthy . see you on bluesky same handle

[Sir Godfrey Lawson 🇬🇧 @godfrey_lawson]

The current Twitter landscape celebrates grifters and charlatans, while those committed to truth and values are dismissed as irrelevant or dangerous. The quest for attention and profit overshadows truth, with controversy replacing integrity in pursuit of engagement, likes and clicks. The current funding model is broken.

[Sir Godfrey Lawson 🇬🇧 @godfrey_lawson]

I once cherished Twitter, having used it for over a decade. Yet, in the past year, it has devolved into a cesspool of hatred and malevolence. Facts no longer underpin healthy discourse. Critical thought is overwhelmed by ignorance, vulgarity, bots, and hollow influencers.

Excited to share The Kid in the Crate is out now 🥳
@WendyMinhinnett @drduncanlaw & I have been working on editing, illustrating & bringing it to life over the last year & half. The Kid in the Crate is a story, its also a metaphor for things that are difficult in our lives (1/2)

@PutinsVanner @tales_colour @RealEmirHan Throne of blood was based on Macbeth (also great); this was King Lear; the hidden fortress is said to have inspired Star Wars

GB News has said that no-one cares what Carol Vorderman has to say.

So here is a Poll.

I rarely post personal stuff but I really need some help please. Yesterday afternoon, we came home as masked burglars were leaving our home. They stole lots of things of huge sentimental value; jewellery that belonged to parents & grandparents, my late Dad’s watch, papers… /2

@weirb4 Heat pump dryer has revolutionised (pardon the pun) our laundry. We used to have to open the window to put vent through so rubbish in winter but this loses so much less heat and so much more efficient in what it does use 👍

[Tim Atkin @TimBayPsych]

@weirb4 Went to see it in west end after lockdown August 21- and booked to see it in February again in Manchester; it’s great to be in the room where it happens 👍👍🕺🏼Fantastic
