Oh! I've a book out! How do I keep forgetting? It's weird, dark, sci-fi-licious & a snip at 4 squid! The Lonely Dark https://t.co/QNpbRFIpja

Anyway, that’s all I came here for. I’m utilising an app to ban me from scrolling my phone and getting angry at the world all day but I wanted to come on whilst I could and add my voice. I stand against racism, bigotry, prejudice and intolerance, and always will.

[Renomorph @RenWarom]

I loathe racism, loathe bigotry, loathe the kind of hypocrisy it engenders not only in the US, but here in the UK. The system is built around racism, the system needs to change. We need to be willing to give up privilege so others can have it too.

[Renomorph @RenWarom]

Fuck Trump, fuck white supremacy, & fuck racism. And fuck anyone more worried about a few stupid fucking buildings being destroyed when people are fighting for justice & their rights! So many innocent lives lost to vile, violent, systemic racism. People have a right to be angry!

Excellent breakdown of the government’s incoherent change of message. I think they’ve been very generous in this translation, because it bristles with pragmatic common sense, which is common — so naturally Johnson and pals wouldn’t demean themselves...

[City of Doncaster Council @MyDoncaster]

Are you confused about what the latest COVID-19 guidance actually means for you?

Well, luckily, because we’re a local government authority, we’re fluent in this kind of language.

Allow us to translate it for you.

@ColinFBarnes I try to take weekends off so I have time to tidy, do big home projects, watch movies, chill etc but I hit a really good stride with work sometimes and... poof! There went the weekend.

[Renomorph @RenWarom]

Anyway, how’s everyone doing? I’m taking today off because I worked over the weekend & I’m losing the will to concentrate. Also finally watched Terminator: Dark Fate last night. Good but stressful. Which is also good. Give me actual tension over blandness in a movie any day.

[Elizabeth of Warwick @oshaymoishe1]

will people stop fucking calling him Boris. He isn't your mate, he isn't a familiar, a known associate. Calling him Boris makes an affection of him. Compare calling him Boris and calling him Johnson. The latter is impersonal and that is how we should think of him.

[Renomorph @RenWarom]

Oh and that whole “just getting around to being ready to ask people flying in to the UK to quarantine for 14 days”... literally this far into proceedings... I actually can’t...

[Renomorph @RenWarom]

This was the idea. Protect wealth, create a situation that makes it impossible for workers to stay safe at home (by ensuring they’re “actively encouraged” back into work) & then blame them for the 2nd spike & any subsequent economic hardships & deaths. Reckless, evil governing.

[Renomorph @RenWarom]

My area today: kids out playing, talking to neighbours etc, no physical distancing, a heap more cars, more people out in general. I am raging. This virus is way more than respiratory, it’s achieving all kinds of horrific effects on human bodies of all ages. If you can, please:

[Renomorph @RenWarom]

So, to clarify: this government of fools and thieves and liars have simply thrown the ball ahead, as they did with Brexit, and hope it’s not made of fucking glass. Hate to tell you mates, but I think it’s a fucking glass ball.

Re-watching Twin Peaks: The Return, as you do, and EVERY SINGLE TIME Big Ed and Norma finally get together in episode 15, I blub like a baby.

My whole ENTIRE actual heart.

[Renomorph @RenWarom]

Still no more planes. We get a couple Chinooks a day though. I admit, a good helicopter sighting can make my day. I love them. That’s probably from watching Airwolf as a kid. Awesome show.

[Renomorph @RenWarom]

@iiecpunk I have tried, sadly the omnivorous life reclaimed me.

[Renomorph @RenWarom]

Made a Harley Quinn special egg sandwich for lunch. Holy crap. Nom. Followed by a peanut butter cinnamon roll (cheat version). Fucking thriving right here.

[Renomorph @RenWarom]

@ColinFBarnes Do aliens fart cloud? If so, we have worse problems than we’d imagined...

[Renomorph @RenWarom]

Really love how this is now a rare sight. Actually caught myself thinking “Wow! An aeroplane!”

For reference, I live under several Birmingham International flight paths. Pre-lockdown there were always planes overhead.

[Renomorph @RenWarom]

Fucking Boris bloviating that international comparisons aren’t helpful at this stage.

So when were they helpful, you incompetent animated mop? When we had LITERAL MONTHS OF WARNING TO GET PREPARED?? Or not? Do tell.

[Renomorph @RenWarom]

Oh and hey, how’s your lockdown going? I’m just on the other side of a three day slump. Usually I’m good day/bad day but occasionally it’s two good days/three bad, or four okay days/one utter shit. There’s no pattern, it is what it is, and I’m not stressing. Much.

[Renomorph @RenWarom]

@ColinFBarnes @insomniumband They’re feckin’ genius innit? And Mortal Share is from my fave album.

All as good as it can be here. Hope the same can be said for you.

[Renomorph @RenWarom]

Today I’m doing one of my favourite things, listening to the entire discography of @insomniumband - starting with In The Halls Of Awaiting, which celebrates its 18th birthday today. Eighteen years of awesome, and I only found them 3 years ago.
