@oberonhill@ani_says1 Mate, to paraphrase Beck, The Korgis, and perhaps a few others, everyone's gotta go to sleep sometimes. If that's 'running away', well, good luck functioning on zero sleep, what with the resultant psychoses and hallucinations etc. It's been emotional. Take care of yourself.
@oberonhill@ani_says1 Hello again. I'm glad you're laughing. It really is the best medicine and I like that you find me funny, smarts deficiencies and all. I also think the mention of 'bedfellows' reminds me that I need to get some sleep. Perhaps I'll dream of Islamic Nazis, who knows? Rest well.
@oberonhill@ani_says1 I'm struggling to parse the tone of your two near-synchronous posts. All I will say is that you appear to be laughing, and if that prevents you for some kind of damaging descent into apopleptic rage, long may you play the clown. That said, Islam and its adherents are fine with me
@oberonhill@ani_says1 No doubt Muslims of whatever colour are clamouring to abandon their faith with such tolerant and hospitable people as yourself waiting to usher them into Christianity, Atheism, or what have you. Thanks for the valuable lesson. Much appreciated.
@oberonhill@ani_says1 I'm not interested in proving you wrong, Oberon. You are entitled to your opinions and I'm no sophist or proselytiser. I would, however, observe that the central emblem of Christianity is a torture device. And yet, I don't visit church expecting painful death. Religion is dynamic
@ani_says1 Heeding your suggestion to interact with this post but I have no words. Besides, perhaps a powerful impression that the killings/assassinations were unjustified, callous, and opportunistic. It is also true that we, generally speaking, turn a blind eye to unspeakable suffering.
@oberonhill@ani_says1 Oh, I'm a f***wit alright. But I don't believe that Islam is at heart a violent religion. Surely any mode of ideology and demagoguery can be hijacked or distorted by people who with to pursue violence? A metal colander would probably hurt more than a book if thrown fast enough.

@AliMirajUK has a message from the heart for @JDVance, telling him to concentrate on issues in his own country rather than meddling in UK politics.
“Peter Thiel is building a parallel justice system – powered by AI.”
The billionaire co-founder of Palantir is funding a startup called Objection, where customers can pay to have journalists’ stories assessed for truthfulness by ‘juries’ of AI models.
“AI is being weaponised so rich people can harass journalists if they don’t like an article,” says @harriepw.
Murder rates
Ohio: ~50 murders per million people
United States: ~59 murders per million
England & Wales: ~8.6 murders per million
Physician heal thyself.
Motes and planks.
It's not just the exploitation of a tragedy.
JD Vance's picture of Britain - where migrants have led to a crime surge - is the opposite of the truth.

The Epstein documents weren't a system glitch; they were the system itself. A filthy network designed to protect the powerful by sacrificing the innocent.
From the way @ethicalliberty is framing this, you'd assume @andytwelves was dismissing Nowak's murder as insignificant.
In fact, Andy says that it is "desperately sad & tragic" but not comparable to George Floyd as this is just a case of murder, not summary execution by police.
Robert Jenrick: “We have procured more hotels very rapidly… What I have done in my short tenure is ramp that up and procure even more.”
Nigel Farage: “This man is a fraud. This man isn’t to be trusted.”
Now both are in #ReformUK telling you immigration is through the roof.
You’re the dummy if you believe a single word from either of them. Same circus, different clowns.

The problem with privatised water 💧
Around 90% of the world’s water is publicly owned - but England and Wales still run on a failed privatised system.
For too long, water companies have been aloud to extract cash from a public necessity, all while putting profits before people and public health.
The result? Polluted waterways, high bills and a system that isn’t working.
It’s time to end this failed experiment and bring England’s water back into public hands.
