Only social media i have, deleting now.

Utterly utterly gutted some wanker billionaire has ruined something I cared so dearly about because he has such a fragile ego. Nevermind mind the fact his wealth is the reason other people starve.

Way to go @elonmusk another win for you.

[Dan Mallaghan @DMallaghan]

I'm not gonna post on this site anymore, whilst it's X.

Not gonna delete my account, cos I pray someone saves this genuinely valuable asset from a petulant man child who doesn't understand the world or his privilege.
I'm totally gutted he's ruining this
Hope to see you all soon

[Dan Mallaghan @DMallaghan]

@elonmusk going full frontal with his views.

Shame on me for thinking he was an idiot fucking up a really good social platform.

He's clearly far worse than that.

[Dan Mallaghan @DMallaghan]

I literally can't stand opening twitter since I have to touch the x icon anymore.

Sadly I think that says more about me than I'm willing to admit.

Complicit in not calling out how more fascist twitter has become, until a literal dystopian r/w logo appeared on my phone.

@TaraAnsley Brandan Fraser's The Mummy is great gateway horror. Ghostbusters, Gremlins and The Hole too

If you’re in any way interested in a job like this, apply. In my experience You develop so much just by putting together an application, more if you get an interview. The experience is invaluable even (or maybe especially) if you don’t get the job.

Word of the day is ‘ingordigious’ (17th century): motivated primarily by greed.

This is what I’m asking: is being a racist a “lawful political viewpoint”? This is important. If football clubs ban fans for racism and we all support them in that, then why aren’t we supporting this bank when they do the same thing?
Our PM is now saying “if a racist can’t put money in a bank, then what kind of country are we?”
Explain this to me.

[Dan Mallaghan @DMallaghan]

Or Cardiff for matter. There's beaches close by, maybe technically within its boundaries, but it's not a coastal city. Or Edinburgh too. How often have you gone to Edinburgh for the beach?

Without even reading the thread, this stinks of a bullshit point of view.

[Dan Mallaghan @DMallaghan]

My geography is appalling but, growing up in Bristol I don't remember a beach. Or one in London either. No idea if the stats here are true or not, I didn't read them cos these aren't coastal cities.

[Tom Forth @thomasforth]

Contrary to popular belief, coastal towns in Britain are very very prosperous.

Oh you didn't mean places like that? You only mean the poor places? Well they're poor then. By definition.

This thread has been re-discovered today it seems. If the BBC is going to apologise for anything, I hope it’s for its total and abject failure to critically report on Nigel Farage

[Sorcha Ní Nia @Luiseach]

from Kris Kristofferson’s song ‘Sister Sinéad’ on the 2009 album ‘Closer to the Bone’

[Dan Mallaghan @DMallaghan]

It's fucking hard dealing with the passing of Sinead O'connor who, alongside being an outstanding singer, spoke up for people being sexually abused when no one else would.

It's even worse hearing it on the day Kevin Spacey gets to walk limp free from court

Zero lessons learnt

Interested in this Artist Liaison role? There are still a few days left to apply! We are looking for someone of the Global Majority who can help make artists feel welcome and cared for at Uprising. If this could be you, get in touch by 5pm this Fri 28 Jul: https://t.co/6q9fb7ng2m

[Dan Mallaghan @DMallaghan]

All anyone wanted was a functional platform that called out fascists. I feel like we're getting the opposite, with a new logo to boot that looks pretty First Order/Empire to me.

[Linda Yaccarino @lindayaX]

For years, fans and critics alike have pushed Twitter to dream bigger, to innovate faster, and to fulfill our great potential. X will do that and more. We’ve already started to see X take shape over the past 8 months through our rapid feature launches, but we’re just getting started.
