Sunday: Somalia "elects" a new leader

Monday: Biden announces that they deployed hundreds of ground troops into Somalia a week earlier.

Tuesday: America pursues "investment" in Somali energy.

If this isn't neocolonialism, I don't know what is.

The thing about the hashtag is that you're never sure which one they're talking about. Is there some other way to narrow it down?

is trending in the UK

Yes, that's right, a Tory. The Conservative Party. The UK Govt.

Setting an example to adults and children everywhere. Not.

And the question on everyone's lips?

"Which one?"

Sorry but why the yellow badgery fuck is this political nobody, representing a fascist phone box cult, suddenly being platformed and dignified and amplified like this? Oh yeah, sorry, it's the BBC isn't it. I was forgetting. twitter.com/BBCPolitics/status

Tech people naming random software after indigenous groups. Don't.

No, not even if you think it's a clever word play.

Off you fuck!

Please remember that “carbon footprint” is a bullshit concept devised by fossil fuel companies to shift responsibility for climate change away from companies and on to individuals

Re-boosting your own posts for 'the morning crew' or 'the night crew' is an acceptable and encouraged practice here. We are largely a community of supportive people who enjoy being given the opportunity to help each other and boost content we may have previously missed.

You should never feel ashamed of promoting yourself, especially as an artist, when it's so difficult to reach people. If anyone doesn't want to see your boosts, they can just scroll past.

@RedJohnBounds @fjfish Why do banker's bonuses not cause inflation?

It's a mystery...

RT @RedJohnBounds
Why didn’t we just tell the bankers in 2008 to work harder or get a better job instead of giving them trillions?

I could've sworn I'd told Twitter not to show me content with the word 'queen' in it. Haven't yet done jubilee or prince chaz. However I'm still seeing photos and "news" that she's arrived at some bun fight or other.

It’s no accident the media misreports events in the Palestinian territories & Israel. That is often the result of ‘self censorship’ & the consequence of a network of pro Israel ‘media monitoring’ groups pursuing advocacy over accuracy. Me for @novaramedia

I’m beginning to develop a real anger at people who can’t be arsed making their content readable if you’re on a mobile device. Given the 90% of traffic these days seems to come from mobile devices it seems a bit stupid. Maybe it’s just me.

'Most ministers repeated the bit from their propaganda manual about being laser-focused on “the people’s priorities”.
Nothing like a bit of alliteration to drown out those noises emanating from your stomach.'

Yet another shameless, regressive divisive, & purely ideological culture war appointment, as UK’s ‘strictest’ headteacher Katharine Birbalsingh is made social mobility chief. Up there with Nadine Dorries as Culture Secretary.

Smile - or else.

By far the worst ever British Govt.
