If anyone out of my minimal followers is looking to hear good, kind stories on twitter, rather than the usual negative driven news... this is the person to follow. Truly brightens my day

Meanwhile, in Canada:

The best thing about this restaurant in British Columbia isn't just the food, or the fact that it's run by an Afghan immigrant who was welcomed to Canada.

It's this sign outside the door.

@MattJames90 @Elevate_Rehab_ I second this! Videos must be included! @Elevate_Rehab_

To prove this, we registered Archie, our pet tortoise, as a member; a couple of foreign nationals; then Margaret Roberts, the maiden name of the late Lady Thatcher.

The Conservative Party took the £25 membership fee. We got membership numbers and were invited to hustings.

Yesterday was bad. It was, in fact, very, very bad. If Johnson was a disaster, Truss has set out to be worse. I very much doubt that any prime minister has set out to create so many conflicts from the outset of their premiership in the way that Truss has. A thread….

[Carole Cadwalladr @carolecadwalla]

Ok. Deep breath.

I think we may look back on this as the first Great Information War. Except we're already 8 years in.

The first Great Information War began in 2014. The invasion of Ukraine is the latest front. And the idea it doesn't already involve us is fiction, a lie.

Couldn’t this man be our leader please?

Might be the one of the best reflections I’ve heard on the success story of @EmmaRaducanu. Well worth a listen!

[John Amaechi OBE @JohnAmaechi]

We can, and should, appreciate the awesome achievements of @EmmaRaducanu, while recognising the ignorance of those who characterised her Wimbledon campaign as a loss, and not a strategic regrouping masterclass. #SuccessIsLumpy not Linear. #JediReflections

A new @thatchers_cider mascot?

@GaryLineker You should give @Goodable a follow @GaryLineker

[esmie in ks voted no @esmietee]

we're collectively joking about a year of quarantine ruining our social skills and ability to function in the regular world -- but we just can't understand how people come out of prison after 5 or 10 or 20 years maladapted / how incarceration only continues cycles of harm.

There are two types of people in the world:

1) People who look at Marcus Rashford's timeline & feel a combination of warmth, concern & gratitude.
2) People who look at Marcus Rashford's timeline & feel compelled to sneer about 'virtue signalling'.

We're governed by the latter.

Here it is in chart form.
The UK's 20.4% contraction in GDP (that bar on the far right hand side) compared with every other quarterly GDP growth number back to 1920.
We've never seen anything like this.

Can’t give Sir Andy an inch on the pass!! Enjoyed watching Old Millfieldian @nickbrookes12 get the run around. Fantastic experience for him. @omsociety @andy_murray @millfieldtennis @Kentlta

[BBC Reality Check @BBCRealityCheck]

A misleading tweet claiming "suicide figures are up 200% since lockdown" has been shared more than 31,000 times on Twitter in the UK today
But we can find no evidence to support this claim
@samaritans told us "there is currently no evidence of a rise in suicide rates".

[Stephen Mangan @StephenMangan]

Thing about a crisis like this pandemic, it is genuinely not a question of partisan politics - the crisis is either handled well or it’s not. A country like New Zealand has handled it well. We, with the highest death rates IN THE WORLD, have not. That’s just a fact.

[Muhammad Lila @MuhammadLila]

In Florida, places of worship are allowed to stay open, but this mosque in Tampa chose to close anyways.

Guess what they're doing instead?

They have thirty volunteers making meals and feeding up to a thousand families every day.

In South Africa, the lockdown has led to a closure of national parks.

At this one, it's so empty that lions are literally sleeping on the road.
