Dilettante, but quite good at it because I put the hard yards in. I contain multitudes, it's a shame they don't get on.
If RFK had taken Ivermectin he wouldn't have had a fucking brain worm.
Aaron RuparRon Johnson: "Aaron Rodgers was smart enough to take ivermectin when he got covid ... unfortunately, more people didn't follow him. We wouldn't have had as many of athletes falling unconscious, sometimes dead on the field of play. You've seen the video reels of this happening in 2021."
This is to be welcomed.
Ben GoldacreApologies: I’m not online much, I haven't paid any attention to Rod Liddle for a long time, I didn't really know his extremes. I do now: I wouldn’t have posted if I'd known. I’ve seen death of difficult people up close (and its impact on others): that’s the only reason it was on my mind as an issue.
Old Twitter wasn't a bubble, it was a collection of bubbles that rubbed up against each other and occasionally burst. A foam, if you will.
Marie Le Contebut we managed it for so long, is my thing! old Twitter was a thing, and it worked for quite a long time! in an imperfect way, sure, but what's perfect anyway
This! The In-group wagon circling for Liddle by the same basic crowd of journos, pols & commentariat is nauseating and does more damage to their reputations & value as public voices than anything. How can we believe truth matters to them when they nod along the worst behaviours for one of their own.
Dr NeutopiaToday reminds me there was a UK journalist who died and received fulsome tributes from many others. It was considered the height of rudeness when some pointed out none of the tributes had mentioned he'd killed his wife. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Ka...
I HAVE DAGUERROTYPES, LUMIERE BROTHERS-STYLE MOVING PICTURES AND A NUMBER OF CARICATURE ARTISTS SKETCHES TO PROVE IT!
Aaron RuparTrump: "We have photographs or tapes -- like moving cameras, right? -- where people are on the side cutting it with a box knife."
Ben has built a reputation as someone who values logical, evidence based thinking above almost everything else, so lets apply that approach here.
Ben GoldacreSad to see people posting on social media negatively about Rod Liddle, who died yesterday. If I have disagreed with you very strongly in life - and you die - I hope I'll be either silent, or kind.
1. Withholding of pocket money allowance 2. Turn off wifi 3. Just ground them for a week 4. Compulsory vegan menu for the rest of August 5. Barney Marathon 6. Endless barrage of Yo Mama jokes 7. Ru Paul and a crack team of Drag Race winners are just really bitchy to them. 8. Trump rally tour.

I mean, ANY local, regional or national government body looking at approving plans for Data Centres against this backdrop has to be in the pocket of the centre developers, there's no other rational explanation.
Leo HickmanI see we've reached the point in this particular summer of extremes where we are now having to BLOW UP rocks in drought-striken rivers to help send water towards gasping nuclear power plants www.theguardian.com/world/live/2...
I often wish that I was three kids in an overcoat, just so I had two other people to confer with.
The Volatile MermaidI wish someone had told me when I was younger that adults don’t actually have their shit together and everyone is still just a kid who’s faking it.
I'm working on a joke about Hephaestus but it still needs to be hammered out
Greg Jenner (Historian)I have a joke about Poseidon, but it’s probably too deep for you
