@zimpenfish hmmmm
If you’re counting or using the small end of numbers you might get that. Lower ordinal numbers appear more frequently for obvious reasons.

'In the coming days, there will be endless commentators ready to declare that the coronation makes them “proud to be British”, while anyone who criticises any aspect of it will be accused of “hating their country”.
I have never quite understood the mindset that feels more pride in producing Prince Andrew than the welfare state'...
Frances Ryan is absolutely right; lets celebrate the #welfarestate not a bunch of rich parasites

Just out of curiosity, has there been any actual innovation in AI for years? All I can see is the same old crappy discrimination algorithms, but with more computing power, I mean, so what?
You can steer a car in the sunshine, so what if it rains?
I find myself wondering, what are folks getting so worked up about? Where is the innovation? Where is anything that’s actually not a rehash of something that is at least 20 years old?
There’s nothing new here that I can see.
Starmer says he’s against PR. I told you ages ago. https://bylinetimes.com/2023/04/27/keir-starmer-now-opposes-scrapping-westminsters-voting-system-for-pr-in-blow-for-reformers/

Oh, sorry. I shouldn't simply assume that folks beyond Britain are aware: In case you missed it, the UK government - led by a fucking billionaire as prime minister - are withholding investment in care for people or the environment yet sparing no expense to hand their friends huge uncontested contracts for made-up services; to criminalise, terrorise, and kick down doors of disabled people on welfare; to condemn asylum seekers to death and deportation; to maintain a massive military industrial complex; to spy on and control their own citizens; to cozy up to other fascist governments; and to create culture wars for their next bigoted, fear mongering reelection campaign designed to manufacture moral panic bullshit.

Yeah I'm a radical, I have beliefs like "we should improve our society" and "we should give a shit and care about one another."
This is also the kind of thing you do when you have money, but no boots on the ground. It shows how much they lost to the Greens in my local area.
2/2
Party that’s done f all steals non partisan slogan. Can they sink any lower? Notice they say nothing about the NHS, having already caved.
I was at the EIE meeting in Birkenhead and didn’t see a single one of them. I think one person at Ellesmere Port out of 25 or so.

@francis never forget that Starmer now claims it to be his party. There are many instances of him calling it his Labour Party on camera while being interviewed. It used to be democratically run, not anymore.

From Twitter. So probably a response to idiots and liars about Brexit, NHS, unfairness, bigotry etc
RT @JamesWoodfield
“Judge me on my record,” said Sunak - and then hid the record.
He covered up the truth about all the fraud, corruption and profiteering which his phenomenal ineptitude, profligacy & negligence had enabled. But truth will out..

Dwyane Wade's revelation that he moved out of Florida because of hostility to his trans daughter is important, potentially making the issue real to people for whom it might otherwise be abstract/easy. https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/2023/04/27/dwyane-wade-transgender-florida-desantis/

Twitter is dying, but my advocacy work helping trans people raise money via fundraisers depends on my five years of work I've spent writing on Twitter, so I need help.
If you're a trans person who needs help raising money for any reason, reply to this toot with your fundraiser. I'll reach out.
If you're a cis person and you can, please boost this post so your trans followers can see it.

Dunno about you lot but I *do* speak ill of the dead if their life was dedicated to being horrible; inflicting copious amounts of harm on others.
If you have a problem with that, you have permission to kiss the Blackest part of my ass.
Don’t start no shit, won’t be no shit.

@MrOverpaid So you have failed at building a relationship with anyone?
