Do you remember when you joined X? I do! #MyXAnniversary

Just kidding, I joined Twitter 14 years ago. For the avoidance of doubt: Elon Musk is a piece of shit, and wouldn't piss on you if you were on fire.

@3kliksphilip Can't believe they included Marlon Brando in the mural but not John Brown...

Oh my goodness, this is grim. Bristol Old Vic Theatre School ends undergraduate training over cost issues https://t.co/pG2te7S1vg

feel like I'm losing my mind over this Maccabi-Amsterdam story

all the media literacy in the world means nothing when the biggest news orgs are reporting a version of events that simply didn't happen

Labour really have chosen to start off with some despicable policies. This policy will cause direct harm to children.

@BrownHairedBoy I am the technical manager still. Not sure my boss would agree with reducing me as the head honcho!

[Matthew Swithinbank @Weaselux]

Getting ready for opening tomorrow! Upgraded from a napkin to a notebook.

Rebecca Frecknall's interview in @TheStage has prompted me to break out a thread I have sat on for a while. It breaks down what I think is the biggest obstacle in theatre but the least openly discussed... Pay

So here is the THEATRE PAY MATHS THREAD 🧵👇

Absolutely disgraceful. The home secretary deserves to be sacked, and every officer involved should feel deeply ashamed of their role in this. This shows a total lack of compassion for some of the most vulnerable members of society.

[Streets Kitchen @streetskitchen]

🚨ALERT! Police have issued a section 35 dispersal order and are forcing people experiencing homelessness to move or face arrest.

This is outrageous from @CamdenCouncil. @MPSCamden must immediately halt this operation. We call on all to get down and help resist.

So while covering Spanish all day today, I kind went rogue and instead taught BSL. It was great fun!! There is such and interest and thirst in kids today for sign language. Getting kids signing at me from across the yard already 😊

[London Anti-Fascist Assembly @London_AFA]

FIVE DAYS TO GO!

ALL OUT ON SATURDAY.

Stop the far right attacking this local community pub and harassing parents, children, and locals!

[Armando Iannucci @Aiannucci]

Back of my Polling Card for local elections. For 1st time, photo ID is required. Card gives many options for elderly or those with disability. None, NONE, for younger or student voters. The policy is simply biased against younger voters, designed to suppress their vote.

[Fire Brigades Union @fbunational]

We know whose side we're when we see far right mobs attacking refugees and politicians playing the mood music.

The FBU is proud to have coordinated this statement, which has now been signed by general secretaries from across the trade union movement.
