‘Ignite.’ @FehintiBalogun, thank you for such an inspirational and empowering talk!

I just took part in The #BigPlasticCount, as we’re still producing far too much plastic. @_RobbieMoore, will you lead the way at the negotiations for a Global Plastics Treaty and push for a cut in production of at least 75% by 2040? @PlasticEveryday@GreenpeaceUK
Throughout the year, based on one or two semi-random listens, @Spotify’s algorithms feed me the same few artists on a daily or weekly basis… then celebrate in ‘my’ #SpotifyWrapped2023 that 2 of them peaked in Oct/Nov. Circular reasoning has never been more obvious 💁🏻♂️
Trompé par une vidéo tronquée de Fabien Roussel, @d_schneidermann l'a comparé à Doriot et Déat. Un tweet trop rapide, mais pas d'excuses : Roussel est un récidiviste des phrases réac' attrape-clic. Qui laissent un drôle d'arrière-goût dans la bouche.

Continuing with stories from the team this #PositiveThinkingDay, Steph considers how he approaches complex issues with a #StayingPositive approach.

On Thursday, Keir Starmer announced that essential skills such as speaking, teamwork, creativity and problem solving are part of Labour’s education mission, and should form a core part of education.
Enough of mainstream media being complicit in the status quo. Unacceptable and irresponsible! Please, please, please @euronews@euronewsgreen, do consider rewriting this COMPLETELY. Who has real agency at the moment? We do. And you have a role to play in inspiring change – now!
Very seriously, @euronews how can you produce such an article with such a level of detachment as though your staff did not live on planet Earth?! If you’re going to conclude on inaction, then let’s not be surprised things don’t change!

The wording in this passage is infuriating – it separates Planet Earth, our home, from the reader: us, journalists included. Writing in such a detached way does contribute to apathy. “Not my problem” kind of attitude.
Les imbéciles qui crient au mensonge, à la fiction, exigeant une preuve de mon admission aux urgences : voilà.
Désolé si je mets les formes quand je rapporte un récit. C'est aussi mon métier que de savoir le faire.
Quant aux hordes de fachos qui me souhaitent la mort : 🖕🏼😚
It will be an inconvenience, we know, but this is about long term gain. Those teachers who strike will be losing pay, it is that important to them that they are willing to be financially disadvantaged in the hope of making their voices heard.

Amazing. Lizzo, in front of thousands of people, confronts LB574 - a gender affirming care ban and abortion ban - in Nebraska tonight.
"Don't let anyone tell you who you are. These laws aren't real. YOU are real."
It's really tough being an independent business in the UK. We watch huge corporations with massive marketing budgets gobble up customers and then paying almost zero tax.
This morning for example, we went into a beautiful coffee shop and had amazing coffee and food, but the place was really quiet. Walked past two famous chain coffee shops, with poor food and average coffee, and they were rammed.
What chance do us small indies have? We can't undercut the big boys, we can't match their marketing spend. So we do what we can, we offer personal service, good quality and we chip away as best we can. This takes time, sadly time is also our enemy as we have to pay ourselves, pay our staff and pay the bills to simply exist.
A massive thank you to all who choose to buy a bike or use us for a service, to those who choose an independent coffee shop or clothes shop or deli etc etc.
Let's not accept homogeneous shopping and leisure experiences. Choose alternatives. When you do you're helping individuals to eat and pay bills rather than lining the pockets of people who don't even care about the products they sell, they simply want returns on investments.
The bigger independents like us get the more people we employ, the more tax we pay and the more we contribute to society, your society.
We work incredibly hard to simply be noticed. So please spend a few minutes thinking about choosing an independent brand above the ones who have the massive advantages over us.
Sorry for the long ramble but it needs to be said.
