Hey so I see you follow me on Twitter dot com and that's pretty rad, but if you also followed me on Mastodon (https://t.co/8AqjuQG2Xf) that would be even radder, because Twitter dot com is a Nаzi-filled corporate latrine fire (fig. 1) and Mastodon is nice (fig. 2). plz share.

Hey @JeremyRBalfour, @SarahBoyack, @Miles4Lothian, @FoysolChoudhury, @POScotParl, @BenMacpherson, @lornaslater, @SueJWebber.

I've just been served a 12% rent hike. What are you doing to stop tenants being driven into poverty? #RentControlsNow

@NianticHelp Further: this also happens in my son's account.

[Ur Unproblematic Fav (They/Them) @TalkyMeat]

@NianticHelp GBL keeps freezing on me, always just as the final attack is made: This happened to me 4 times in a row, sometimes as I was about to lose, other times as I was about to win. GBL is unusable until this is fixed. The app isn't totally frozen tho: I can still surrender.

@LilySimpson1312 "The sky above the port was the colour of television, tuned to a dead channel", wasn't it?

How did the @UkHomeOffice know to name it the 'Illegal Migration Bill' before the High Court confirmed that it is, in fact, *illegal*? https://t.co/eM2Zaeykbr

We've reverted to Gayz Onley for Pride Month.
We'll be having a cracking wee time and raising money for LGBTIQA+ charities.
Feel free to register your disquiet if it helps get you through the day.
I really could not give a fuck 🌈
Events schedule available on less toxic channels.

Also it would scare the life out of Rishi Sunak 👍

@MhairiBlack By the way, you’d make an amazing First Minister. You represent the exact sort of progressive, forward looking politics Scotland needs.

@Edinburgh_CC hey check out this inconsiderate moron parked right in the bike lane outside 28 Haddington Place on Leith Walk, SK21 YUT

Could MDMA therapy cure Tories?

[Patrick S. Tomlinson @stealthygeek]

Thread time. Here's the thing about @tesla. It's not a car company. Tesla is a company that has to make cars in order to sell its real product: Emissions Credits.

Let me explain. Back in 2012, the EPA put out new, strident emissions standards for new vehicles fleetwide. 1/

Q: What kind of Tory does *absolutely fuck all* at all times?
A: The best kind.
Least worst anyway.

@StephenKing (OK, not the whole answer, but a big part of any coherent answer. 280 chars isn't enough space for nuance...)

[Ur Unproblematic Fav (They/Them) @TalkyMeat]

@StephenKing He absolutely is not a visionary. Electric cars won't save us. There isn't enough accessible lithium & nickel in the world for that. Public transport & walkable neighbourhoods are the answer; meanwhile, Elon 'invented' Hyperloop as a scam to get cities to cancel transit projects.

I mean, I like convenience as much as the next person, but I don't want someone's grandad keeling over dead bringing me a sack of cat litter. I hope your whole workforce goes on strike over Christmas, you evil corporate bastards @Tesco @UsdawUnion

[Ur Unproblematic Fav (They/Them) @TalkyMeat]

Hey @Tesco what's the idea sending a guy who's like, 60, and who's just recovered from COVID, and who after carrying one crate up the stairs was clutching his chest and struggling to breathe, to carry my many crates of groceries up three flights of stairs with no-one to help?

[Ur Unproblematic Fav (They/Them) @TalkyMeat]

I'm sure the only way someone just recovered from the rona is willing to work like that is if the only alternative is getting kicked out of his job. He apparently spoke to his manager, but still he's wheezing up stairs, one crate at a time. @Tesco
