Remember how the "retail theft crime wave" disappeared as soon as companies had to do their annual reports? That's because it's illegal to lie to shareholders.

The pushback I got to any suggestion that the "shoplifting epidemic" was made up was something to behold. People really internalised that. People love their crisis porn, especially if it lets them spurt outrage at someone vulnerable.

Ok but why do I suddenly have the song "Informer" earwormed. I haven't listened to it or any other music today. It's not connected thematically to anything going on with me. Released in 1993 and to this day I cannot even make out most of the lyrics. What is even happening

Earworms continue to boggle me, especially when my brain starts playing the “to be or not to be” song from when they performed “Hamlet” as a musical on “Gillian’s Island” - an episode I likely have not seen in over 40 years.

Would've really liked it if we could have gotten out of this day with some more SNP seats and a promise that we were never going to hear from Nigel Farage ever, ever again, but I'll take a complete rout of the Tories and most all present and former Conservatives, instead.

I have a distinct memory of going to a chocolate shop with my very dark skinned partner during a layover in Amsterdam and having the shop owner be polite to me and just completely freeze my partner out. I was just like… oh so that’s European racism, okay.

Yeah, no, I was joking myself a little bit. My Mastodon feed is…daunting, and I’m following around 480 people. But I have an awesome iOS client (Mona) that helps dial it in* I don’t really use the instance feeds, other than time to time. *I’d really like to see BS get more 3rd party clients.

Mastodon would have a lot fewer problems if there were only two people there lol. Part of the major issue is that there’s so many people over there that even without the algorithm/feeds you still get swarmed(if you’re a large account)

Well Ty! That was my social media claim to fame on Twitter! 😂 I think both these sites have potential, and there’s awesome people on both, but the humorless prigs on Mastodon needs to lose the HOA attitude (and it’s happening, but slow.)

I’m not gonna lie, your “hey, I’m gonna be over on BlueSky more than mastodon“ was met with sufficient levels of stupid bullshit that I was like “well, that would be solidifying MY reasons for leaving.” The post by the guy with the picture of Lucy and Charlie Brown w/Dorsey’s pic on Lucy aged well 😂

No apologies needed! I’m on both (and you followed me back on Twitter way back for reasons that will remain mystery 😂) I was impressed (in a negative sense ofc) that the Mastodon folks had managed to have a sufficiently negative vibe that you decided “screw it”. Figured was worth the ask!

Hey Ken, I know you’ve given up on Mastodon, but I figured it doesn’t hurt to ask - any chance you could post this over there? Your account still has 100k+ followers, and this article is Just That Good, IMO I did retweet(post, whatever) the one you posted last year, but it’s a substack link. 😬
