Auschwitz is a place that shows where hatred, #antisemitism and contempt for a fellow man led people decades ago.
It is also a place where we should reflect on our own responsibility for the world we live in. The warnings of the past should be a key to better future.
Help us commemorate the victims & preserve memory.
Use your voice to amplify ours. Help us build this incredible community & encourage others to follow

Curious what Gov. Greg Abbott's church, the University Catholic Center in Austin, thinks of his freakishly sadistic attack on traditional #Christian values last night. This is the real #WarOnChristmas, with human lives at stake. #politics https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2022/dec/25/kamala-harris-migrant-buses-christmas-eve-texas

Could be worse, it could be the day they celebrate the rising of an undead horror from his tomb...

It's that particular day of the year when the Screaming Jeezus People just kind of assume everybody shares their superstition and associate it with peace and goodwill rather than mass murder and oppression and throw a massive street party.
Sigh.

Most people figure when they get to their 60s, it’s time to slow down, take stock, and hit cruise control.
That’s not what I did.
I came out of the closet, figured out this social media thing, and then made my Broadway debut in my 70s. Now I’m taking on London in my 80s!
To see me live and on stage in the West End, get tickets before they’re gone! https://Allegiancemusical.com

A most excellent graphic from @Hazie
Why people are expected to excuse racist behaviours and/or comments from white people.

Been five days since Twitter suspended a bunch of journalists, including me, for tweeting out factual reporting. And we're still suspended.
CNN's @donieosullivan, NYT's Ryan Mac and I can't access Twitter until we delete specific tweets that they said included "private information" but were actually just reporting.
Journalists Linette Lopez and Susan Li, who also covered Musk, are still suspended. No explanation given.
Training the dog to stay close with treats as I walk him. Someone left Santa a ham sandwich and dog scoffed some of it before I could see what was going on. Treats stopped working and dog started pulling. Meh.
Previous owner said he was gluten intolerant so looking forward to checking that out later.

Remember this woman, who had to quit as Boris's Press Secretary over partygate?
Well Rishi was Best Man at her wedding to James Forsythe.
Rishi has just hired James Forsythe as his Press Secretary!
"A government of integrity" my arse.
Nepotism, VIP lanes & dodgy donors.

@zimpenfish @dgar I own the twitter handle @whuddabot that I was going to create a bot that said “whudabout” with some sufficiently sarky message whenever some numpty started what about-ing but never got the energy to do it.

No, skepticism of crypto doesn't "stem from lack of understanding".
Skepticism of crypto stems from it being an endless barrage of fraud, scams and the worst of human greed and criminality.

I sense a new bot in the offing.

It’s so cool that every time trans people get a thing, a bunch of busybodies whom it doesn’t affect in the least get all up in arms and act like it’s a personal attack. Like watching someone get a holiday gift and acting like it’s a threat to you.

I'm sick of people saying it's easier to imagine the end of the world than it is to imagine the end of #capitalism. I think about the end of capitalism every day. Today I imagined what it would be like to live in a community that valued me for being present rather than "useful" or "productive." In that world, I think I would spend a lot more time taking care of plants. I would tell stories when I felt like it, instead of on deadline. What do you imagine? #imaginetheendofcapitalism
