It's my #Twitterversary! I have been on Twitter for 14 years, since 15 Feb 2009 (via @twi_age).
Farewell @Twitter and a big F U to @elonmusk for killing @Twitterrific and other third party apps. Hurting users, developers and particularly those that needed extra accessibility features that Twitter DOES NOT provide. Shameful.

I may never stop laughing at how unbelievably Partridge "I'm very aspirational" is from Rachel Reeves.

when Labor had just won the Federal election
Media bias on full display
A deserving winner chosen by almost 800 voters.

Turns out Twitter can, in fact, be real life.
@elonmusk just got booed like I’ve never heard before on stage with @davechapelle and @chrisrock. He couldn’t get a word in, the crowd booed for 10 minutes. Not favored on his home turf. He looked stunned, must not get enough feedback IRL.

In 1951, Adelbert Ames created the mind-boggling ‘Ames Window’. It’s so effective that even when you know how it works you can’t break the illusion

The Liberals have wasted days filibustering our Secure Jobs, Better Pay Bill in the Senate.
Australians have waited long enough and now the Liberals want them to wait longer.

Like Trump, Musk has become the tribune of fascists and racists by way of adolescent contrarianism, an insatiable need to flaunt his control and a radicalising inability to cope with being told he’s wrong on the internet.’ theguardian.com/commentisfre…

Dr Philip Lowe, Governor of Australia’s Reserve Bank has nothing to offer to solve this country’s systemically low wages. RBA’s interest rate hikes are said to be the only lever to bring inflation back to target range.. but he says nothing about price gouging now under way.
RBA Governor Philip Lowe has this message for workers pushing for wage rises to match the inflation rate.
"If we all buy into the idea that wages have to go up to compensate people for inflation it will be painful, so best avoid that"

Players need to face down FIFA over this. If a captain is booked for wearing a OneLove armband, both teams should leave the pitch until the card is recinded. Delays would cause chaos in global tv schedules and draw greater attention to LGBTQ+ rights and FIFA's malfeasance.
Soccer teams representing seven European nations at the World Cup have announced their captains will no longer wear the OneLove armband in Qatar after FIFA, which organizes the tournament, said players sporting the bands would be sanctioned.

"Do you not see there's a problem?"
"There's an algorithm here tracking a human worker."
Labour MP Darren Jones absolutely slates Amazon's European head of public policy over their dystopian surveillance of workers.

Fucking outstanding answer to any mention of 'woke' in the horribly bastardised current usage 👏🏽
"There are some people that will see this and say that it's a woke version of a Welsh family" Extraordinarily phrased question to Rakie Ayola re new show The Pact by @BBCBreakfast

During a moving curtain speech, Wendell Pierce thanked his father for "the most precious thing ever: love and time."
Watch him pay tribute to a very important visitor to opening night of #SalesmanOnBroadway, and join us for a performance at the Hudson Theatre!

Amazing to me that there was a story about Elon Musk having to pay off a flight attendant he had give him sexual massages on the corporate plane and that he tried to give her a pony to keep her silent and now we are hearing nothing except him buying Twitter.
How things work.

I’m baffled by wine professionals who scoff at consumers of commercial wines. Those buyers are the backbone of the industry. It’s where most people start their love of wine, and if they can afford it, move up the quality ladder as they go - eventually graduating to fine & rare
