Dear All. My last tweet from the platform formerly known as Twitter. I have made an account on Bluesky which is more meaningful for me. I may still ‘like’ the odd post here, but any other activity from me (rare as they may be) will be from @larsostergaard.bsky.social

Donald Trump really hates this ad. His campaign has threatened @ProjectLincoln with a law suit if they don't take it down.
It would be a real shame if this ad went viral.

Compare how Tim Walz just dealt with a heat incident in the crowd in Eau Claire, Wisconsin to how Trump dealt with a similar incident a couple months ago.
Who do you want as one of your leaders?
Unity Vs. Division
Love Vs. Hate
Selfless Vs. Selfish
Let's not go back to where we came from!

Nigel Farage says it upsets him when people call the far-right violence 'The Farage Riots'. So people should definitely not do that

BREAKING: Vice President Kamala Harris just demolished Donald Trump for backing out of the debate saying “Donald, if you’ve got something to say, say it to my face.” Retweet so all Americans see this badass moment from Kamala Harris.

Oh my god. CNN just fact checked Trump’s debate lies live on air. This is brutal for Trump and his campaign. All he does is lie. He is incapable of being honest and he’s getting called out for it. More of this please!

The benefits of GMOs are clear. One Australian study found that adopting pest-resistant Bt cotton led to an 18% decrease in water use and a 97% decrease in pesticide use.

“Three decades ago, when GM crops were new, the media nicknamed them “Frankenstein foods”. It was a handy headline but it was all wrong. Peer review after peer review has shown that, properly handled, GM foods are safe and can be a boon to mankind.”
