Life is short. Use the fancy olive oil and the special salt. Drink the expensive wine and the fine spirits you've been saving. Get out the nice plates you're worried will break. Buy the guillotine you've had your eye on. Stake out and learn the routines of billionaires. Blow that rainy day money on turning inside sources. Don't waste your life on what-ifs. Behead them all and let the revolution sing.

Threads, Twitter, and Bluesky: Our billionaire is better than your billionaire.

Mastodon: You actually don't need a billionaire at all.

Threads, Twitter, and Bluesky: Hold on, we have to ask our billionaire if that's true.

Elon Musk has been working with open anti-Semites this week to mobilize people against the Anti-Defamation League, blaming declining advertising sales (caused by his efforts to welcome self-declared Nazis back to Twitter) on Jewish people.

Now, in dialogue with one of these bigots, Musk is promising to do a "giant data dump" on the ADL and other groups, with the presumable goal of enabling anti-Semites to harass, attack, and kill people.

In 2022, we warned that Musk took over Twitter with the explicit goal of seizing territory for the far right, but even we didn't expect it to go so far, so fast.

Death to fascism.🏴

as I get older I'm very much discovering the joy of giving somebody enough rope

@christhebarker Hahaha! Splendid. Cannot quite get my head round the awfulness of the Govt. comms around this.

I thought plums were only meant as breakfast food
Saved for someone else, but not for me
Plums were out to get me
So cold and so sweet
Delicious stonefruit haunted all my dreams

Then I saw her fridge
Now I'm a plum thiever
Please forgive
My obvious crime
Cold sweet plums, I'm a plum thiever,
I'm gonna leave her a short rhyme

I have spent Monday doing Sunday things*. I will now spend the rest of the week thoroughly discombobulated.

* not the scribbling a face on a pile of grass, that's a very everyday thing obvs, but the work involved in assembling the pile of grass definitely belongs to a Sunday

I've been invited to run my #TIC80 demo effect / educational workshop at a digital festival next year. 🥳 Details in due course...
Keen to do more like this, so please say hello / pop an introduction if you think there's something it'd suit!

so turns out the tories were basically happy for concrete to fall on kids' heads so long as they could keep funnelling cash to their pals. and for some reason you still can't legally liquidise them

Nothing sums up this year more than Zoom demanding that their employees come back to the office instead of remote working.

Nothing.

Honestly, seeing how badly burning man visitors dealt with the mud, they should never visit Glastonbury.

This whole Church of Scientology freaking out over how right to repair will force them to open up how their e-meters work thing is my favourite current side plot. 🍿

I just found this video on my phone. I saved it in 2018 for this very moment when I knew you would need to see it. Sound on....

Renaming burning man to flooding man.
