IMO The most important word of the decade is ' AWARENESS ' . I.e NOT "WOKE" . This latter word is too ambiguous .
Reason : Awareness "switches on" science.
Which is your word of the last decade?

@GSpellchecker I have had no contact or tweets from any named person on this thread . I have mede no accusations about lack of free speech.

We must take a stand against Putin’s invasion of Ukraine. Will you sign the petition and send a clear message that democracy, freedom, and peace need to be defended in Ukraine, across Europe, and throughout the world? https://t.co/fw6LuByuku #UKwithUkraine

🛑 @EmmanuelMacron @Bundeskanzler @MinPres @MorawieckiM @MarinSanna -- Europe's money is fuelling Putin's war chest. Will you listen to Svitlana and stop doing business with Russian coal, oil and gas? #StopTheWar #StandWithUkraine #Putin100 https://t.co/sVnArvl5iE

On investigating a heat pump I was not informed of the criteria of my house to pass insulation and other conditions. this wasted a whole lot of time in a cold house with a defunct gas boiler

[Possible @_wearepossible]

Don't let anyone tell you we need to drill. We need to insulate.

I think that A and his chums write a very world readable book or video documentary about how people trafficking ruins people's lives AND how rich influential people can find it easier to find normal heathy legal and free sex, preferably with a very long term partner

Simplicity of science says “Levelling up” means if one side goes up then other side must go down. Tory version I suspect says unfortunate people possibly get something rather from “Cooking books" so that the fortunate will stay fortunate because others get further misfortune.

Want to heat your home without heating the planet?
Heat pumps are a super efficient green alternative to dirty gas boilers. @_wearepossible want to make sure every home in the UK is supported to get off gas for good.

@davidwarden2000 You say that "Does god Exists?" should not even be discussed. To signal this why not call yourself Agnostic Humanist?

Capitalism and Socialism are Economic systems
Authoritarianism and Democracy are Political systems
Socialism is not inherently Authoritarian.
Authoritarian Capitalism is what the Brexit Branch of the Tories are aiming at.

I AGREE but the word ATHEISM is still useful in signalling the passage from fantasy to reality

[David Warden 🏳️‍🌈🇬🇧🇺🇦🇮🇱🎗 @davidwarden2000]

We need to stop using the word atheism because it concedes too much territory to theists. We should not even consider 'Does God exist?' to be worthy of serious discussion. God belongs to the realm of human imagination. It's just about categorization.

Who is going to build a "HALL OF INFAMY", perhaps on a UN site, for spent global forces like Napoleon, Sadam,TRUMP ETC where their failings are displayed for ALL to see. Boris' space is for the moment just reserved.

[David McKnight @mcflewster]

Why do not Humanist(UK) recognise that they need to partner with science to fully understand why people do not do as they are told? Then find the best way of altering behaviour without a lot of telling? See H4S.

In the UK, Jabs are being served with ' One-stop ',' Cocktail ' , ' Driv-thru ' and 'Stop me, and get one free' (with follow up testing also included) . Many of them being on benefit trials and with free isolation compensations. None tied to a profit making Company.

Arthur is a hero. He infiltrated the BNP in the 1990s, wreaked havoc & helped stop the London nail bomber. Now his story is being told for the first time, it's time to say #ThankYouArthur. I've just added a message, add yours here: https://t.co/xxT9Sl8DM6

Personal freedom comes from personal science -i.e. working things out for one'self.

القيم الأخلاقية لا تخضع للمعايير السياسية والإجتماعية والفكرية بل العكس ..المجالات بإختلاف وسائلها ومناهجها هي التي تجب أن تخضع للمعايير الأخلاقية .. المستنير الحقيقي هو من يدافع عن المبدأ لا مصلحته ، عن الحرية كقيمة بذاتها مستمرة لا مؤقتة مرهونة برضا المستبد وإن كان عادل #تنوير
