Show of hands:
Who else prefers not having their tweets swarmed by asshole bots and trolls all day, and not having their content throttled? 🤚

🟥 American networks are calling TRUDEAU an “MVP", and a model for toughness, LEADERSHIP and democracy... 🫴🏼🙌🏼👏🏼👏🏼
🔳📽️ MSNBC: “Trudeau was very early in, when he first came into office, one of the TOUGHEST on the Russians for the 2014 invasion of Ukraine.
He’s been TOUGH on the Saudis, TOUGH on the Chinese, and now he’s been TOUGH on the Indians.
I think he’s a bit of a MODEL for the West to look to, when you talk about liberal Democracy.”
#LeadershipMatters ✅
#MVP 🦁🦁

Musk is moving faster than democracies can sense-make. And if you think something else is happening you’re delusional.

1. A few days ago, I wrote a thread about the pros and cons of staying on this platform and asked for your views. They were very helpful. As a result, I’ve decided to stop using X from January 20. Already I’m mostly posting now on BlueSky (@georgemonbiot.bsky.social) instead.🧵

The Difference Between 𝑑, 𝛿, Δ and ∂ in Physics and Mathematics ✍️
- 𝑑 (d): Represents an infinitesimal change or derivative, introduced by Leibniz in calculus.
- ∂ (partial derivative): Used for rates of change with respect to one variable, introduced by Jacobi.
- Δ (Delta): Represents a finite change or difference, first used by Johann Bernoulli.
- 𝛿 (delta): Used for small changes or the Dirac delta function, popularized by Lord Kelvin.

Just another reminder that the groups worrying about the dreaded scourge of chatbots and working to strangle AI with suffocating legislation are intensely focused on crushing the private sector with 95% of their effort, while the real evils of AI (war machines and surveillance) go totally unchecked.
They're focused on the wrong thing and we will all pay for it if they win.

Imagine being bereaved by the loss of your spouse and having a coworker invade your cubicle the next day in order to hawk some tacky Amway product after mumbling a few sleazily insincere words of condolence with a faint smirk.
Classic Poilievre. Soulless, devoid of character.

One of the things I occasionally get paid to do by companies/execs is to tell them why everything seemed to SUDDENLY go wrong, and subs/readers dropped like a stone.
So, with everything going on at Twitter rn, time for a thread about the Trust Thermocline /1
The Guardian is one of the news outlets I am happy to support with a paid subscription. This decision is yet another justification for that support.

All right, I’ve opened up a BlueSky account and have begun following some of you there. I’m at @CBPolitics. If you’re on that site, please follow me and let’s see if I can build my following back up over there.
