As for the rest of you, I wish only the best for you, that you continue to find your people.
And also to remind you to never trust a Tory, no matter what colour tie they wear.

So this is it, for Musk, I shall leave my current user name unchanged, and I hope he is bankrupted and has an utterly miserable life for destroying my only real social connection with people.
I do wonder how media/PR companies are going to continue using Twitter, but not enough to keep me on here.
I’m not on any other SM site, just email, Reddit and some Discord servers (and while I still have a blog site, I’ve not updated it in years)
And so, I shall say farewell to you all, you were good fun and I learned a lot from a whole bunch of you.
I even enjoyed pissing Nazis off on here.
I joined a load of newsletters, and I’ll still have my reynolds@randomreality.org email address.
With Twitter banning third party clients (let’s face it Musk’s thrashing around in a panic) I am no longer using this site. I used to evangelise it in the early days, and have made some good friends and acquaintances here, but Musk has fucked it for me.
Gonna say, if I can’t use a third party app, then I’m going to delete my Twitter account. Or maybe sell my account to someone.
(In case you wonder if I stop calling for armed revolution against the Tories suddenly.)
One of the first things I was told in a lecture during my nurse training was ‘beware of people who call nursing a vocation, it’s normally an excuse to pay you less’.
I kept it in mind during my whole career
A&E patients are being admitted to beds in corridors at an east London hospital trust that is struggling with the longest waits in England. dlvr.it/Sghn6Z
I wish I had £100 for every time Bolsonaro was in the hospital
Which is why I'm currently breaking into his house again, cos I know he's not home, lol #ThePerfectCrime
Do me a favour and tell me what crimes are having the resources taken away so I can go do some crimes without any fear of getting caught. (And I know ‘doing coke in Parliament’ will continue to be ignored despite the obvious damage it’s doing)
"We will rebalance our policing effort to ensure resources are appropriately tasked to target offenders, locations and methodologies causing the greatest harm to Londoners and their communities.
"Making the most of new technology, we will get upstream of criminal networks.

tl;dr - I think the real existential threat of AI between now & 2050 isn't killer robots - it's computers taking over the work of millions of people *across sectors* pretty much all at once.
(& privacy/ethics concerns, but @wolven can explain that better than me)
Now talk about the MP who coincidentally hasn’t spoken in the HoC since some anonymous MP was arrested on rape charges and told not to come in to the HoC…
Love that Bowie's disguise on public transportation was to change nothing about his physical appearance and just pretend to read a Greek newspaper instead, making people assume he was a Greek dude that just happened to look a lot like David Bowie
Every tabloid journalist watching the Harry interview: total freedom of the press is sacred. A fragile, beautiful, vitally important jewel in our democracy. Now, if you'll excuse me I need to log on to Instagram to find my next story because I think a woman may have worn a thing.
