Journalists don't *need* QTs, which is evident in that the craft existed for fucking centuries before twitter. They've had, what, five years of having this tool, absolutely abused the shit out of it in this time, and now they're crying that they can't do journalism without it? Grow the fuck up, your job is to convey information, figure something out.

Just about the only use case I've ever seen among journalists for QTs is to instigate pile-ons of the great unwashed. It has made the entire profession a joke, a toxic joke. When they started to use social media, at best it fell out as lazy content-scraping articles. At worst, it has been attacking random members of the public for saying "hey, trans people deserve some rights".

Just saw someone saying that the lack of quotes on here means journalists won't adopt the platform, and that is the single best argument against quotes I have seen here.

A Very Blade Runner Christmas

IMPORTANT MESSAGE

My daughter bought a bed for her bearded dragon on Etsy. It came with a mattress, a blank is, two pillows, and a night cap.

There are two types of people in this world, and this is your reminder to avoid both of them.

It's Christmas Eve Eve. Time for a bunny-based double-hatted fluffster (although tbh when *isn't* it time for a bunny-based double-hatted fluffster?)

The domestic robot's lidar has detected evidence of a mirror universe.

Imagine having the balls aged 15 to face down your parents and community and look them dead in the eye and say

" Nah, it wasn't Wayne, it was the Holy Spirit that knocked me up"

Absolute legend.

Scottish Parliament just passed reforms to the Gender Recognition Act to make it easier for trans people to legally change their gender!

It has been a loooooooong time coming, but very glad it's through and focus can be put on fighting for even more.

It's a testament to how much better the fedi is that when this was posted on twitter it was immediately swarmed by transphobes, but here everyone's just like "yeah cool, biological sex is impossible to quantify, anyway I wanna hear about exploding dicks, tell me about the exploding dicks"

Just fyi. #openinformation

Sometimes it can be hard to find a #Santa hat that fits properly, but there's always a solution to be found.

If I hear one more person wittering on about "efficiency savings" in the #NHS I'm going to scream. The NHS has been pared to the bone in the name of efficiency savings and it does not work because you can't predict exactly when or how people are going to need the service.

I don't want the NHS to be efficient. I want it to have the capacity to deal with whatever gets thrown at it. I WANT there to be empty beds, because that means there's nobody waiting for a bed. I WANT Doctors to spend a certain amount of their day twiddling their thumbs, because that means people aren't stuck waiting in pain and desperation.

Am i weird?
