@Sarcasm_n_logic @CoryBooker It wasn’t a filibuster; it didn’t prevent a vote from being held

Tom Daley dives with someone else??

What do the musician Nabihah Iqbal, the writer @robinsloan, and the spirit channeler @LeeHarrisEnergy have in common? I met them all in one fortnight, so they're all in one bumper edition of If You Can Make It Here. https://t.co/a1Mr7UatBt

Unfortunately, a tabloid newspaper has got hold of a music video I recorded in Islington North with an iconic grime artist I've admired for years.

They are planning to publish a heavily edited clip, so I'm releasing the full version myself. Watch here: https://t.co/vwNGQN2wqU

@nyc311 did you know your open
Fire hydrant report form doesn’t work? There’s one at the corner of St Nicholas and Suydam if you’re interested

@koningwoning @Will_Humphrey And very measured delivery, right? Maybe that's a bit but it at least feels like he's trying to de-escalate these debates. And yeah the JKR was a great listen while doing tons of housework :)

I kid you not… these are the #Dune2 popcorn buckets 😳💀

@Will_Humphrey @koningwoning I am hesitant to drag anyone into the Youtube-essay-verse, but Shaun has a very good essay/monologue on just that. https://t.co/02p83UkSGf

@koningwoning @Will_Humphrey But - as is common - they've been sold a myth of what 'the old days' were...

In April 2023, I moved to NY. Now, it's finally time to talk about it. https://t.co/EFlvOy97pt is a newsletter, every other Monday, about what it's like here... and what it's like to start again. And a letter from a friend. If you're interested, I'll see you there.

@mangereman @afneil I guess that is kind of the point I'm trying to get to - not capitalism per se, but profit-motive principles being applied to structures without enough nuance and compassion. OFSTED would be another example. I'm not trying to say anything definitive here though, just thinking

[james mitchell @jamescmitchell]

@wainy27 @afneil Sorry... why would the free-market option of joining Post Office 2 have ended the prosecutions sub-postmasters were facing? And you realise lack of oversight has allowed private companies to act badly too? Thames Water, Southern Rail?

[james mitchell @jamescmitchell]

@wainy27 @afneil While greed is undoubtedly in the mix for all of us, I think you can get to a dangerously cynical place. Anyone who's worked for an organisation they identify with, alongside people they care about, knows the value of generosity and cameraderie. Something the Post Office lost

Anyone noticed the #Eastenders six dressed in the colours from Cluedo? Quality symbolism.

[james mitchell @jamescmitchell]

Imagine being such a dedicated defender of Christianity that you think its symbol is the tree

[Way of the World @wayotworld]

The communist filth of Just Stop Oil have started attacking Christmas trees in various parts of Germany. These cowards would never attack symbols of any other faith.

Hey imagine ripping off Heinlein and Adams in a single stroke for your shitty not-an-AI
