It’s easy to underestimate the difference in magnitude between numbers in millions and billions, but this is like being fired from a £40k/year job, then learning that you’ll get up to a pound every year for your birthday.

I thought this was a parody account. It’s not! It’s the Governments trade minister proudly announcing its latest deal “could be worth up to £1 million over five years” We’ve just heard Brexit is costing the Government £40bn a year in lost tax revenue! Heaven help us!

The championing of the NHS to win Brexit, by people who knew they were going to dismantle the NHS is fraud to the level of criminality. And I am sure those buses convinced (at least) 500,000 to vote Leave which is, as it turned out, all they needed. Sickening.

In the French Republican calendar, every day was named after something important to rural French life. 28 December was the day of manure.

I know it’s a bit late now we’ve all mostly left for Mastodon, but just use a third party client (Tweetdeck etc). No algorithm; no promoted tweets; no trends; no ads. – at Ipswich, England

Misleading, as it presumably includes lots of people like me who now primarily post on Mastodon, but follow people who are still here too. – at Martlesham Heath, England

On the contrary, JavaScript would always do this, but sometimes it would turn out that “this” was actually something else.

This is *exactly* as I imagined, and provides the most straightforward explanation for anyone still trying to grasp at complicated theories on how the "SpaceX genius" could possibly be so bad at this. tumblr.com/numberonecatwinne…
