A reminder to non-Americans: assigning Pi Day to 22nd July is not only more accurate than 3.14 (22/7 is 3.14285), it's also more likely to annoy Americans.
@thomasfuchs I was in NYC years ago and people just drove straight at us, even though the pedestrian light was green. We were shouted at too.
In GB red means red, and I think most of Europe too.

The argument against regulation is always the same: “It stifles growth and jobs.”
But just as tax cuts for corporations and the rich have not trickled down, regulatory cuts have not benefited most people.
Big companies enjoy bigger profits, but working people bear the costs.

I was a drug abuser from the age of twelve when I started with solvents, until seven years ago.
I used every sort of drug imaginable during that period.
I never once scored drugs of an asylum seeker.
Suella Braverman is telling lies comparable to Trump to dehumanise refugees.
Ok folks, this meeting is on 21st March at 7.00 pm via zoom.
Eventbrite has been amended to suit.
Well, arch monopolist and alleged asshole may have had something to do with bank collapse. Colour me surprised.

Thread - a very important one, given the nonsense people have been spouting recently. Fascism is capitalism's last gasp, trying to protect itself.

There's much about #fascism that is largely hidden from us in Britain.
#Fascist ideas prospered politically only when perceived economic threats increased their appeal to members of certain social groups.

Classic Guardian take:
Diplomatic editor @patrickwintour describes the illegal 2003 invasion of Iraq as 'a blunder'.
It was no mere 'blunder'. It was the supreme international war crime.
RT @dtmooreeditor
welp, lineker's back on the air. another nail in the tories' coffin. it was a stupid fight to get into: there was never any reward in it, only risk, and it played out about as badly for them as it could possibly have.

Gordon Brown did this

This should be a learning moment. The establishment scared us away from a radical Labour government, not because socialism is a threat to our democracy but because they are. The BBC is simply another weapon to ensure the public vote against their self-interest and anyone who trusts its output is an unwitting puppet. https://open.substack.com/pub/councilestatemedia/p/labour-wanted-to-democratise-the?r=cfvq7&utm_medium=ios&utm_campaign=post
