Elon Musk is bankrolling an ad campaign to get you to check your voter registration through an innocent-sounding website.
But his real goal is to collect and sell your personal data to advertising companies, Big Tech, and other Republican PACs.

The slick voter registration website, currently being promoted to millions of people, is a digital surveillance machine.

Now James Orr has stepped down as Reform UK's Head of Policy after C4's report, questions remain for Cambridge – where he is Associate Professor. Byline Times revealed serious concerns about his activities there months ago.
We all know there won't now be 200+ articles on him and his life don't we?

The Times will now presumably bully itself to suicide since that's what they deem an appropriate punishment for alleged plagiarism
As honoured as I am to see that The Times has picked up my Chagos article practically *word for word*, including my hard-gotten quotes, I’d prefer some credit — or for everyone to read my original FT piece!

Naught but a leap to the left
And then a clockwyse tread;
Put thyne handes on thyne hippes,
And be thy knees yn-gatheréd:
Lo! It ys the pelvique thruste
That maketh mirthe down to rayne -
Lat us doon the Tyme Warpe agayne!

IKEA have a lot to say about their ethical credentials and their work supporting refugees. But they also pay to advertise on Talk, which spreads vitriol and hate every day.

Today we celebrate James Baldwin – a Black, queer writer who refused to soften the truth to make it easier to swallow. He never let this country look away from itself. Happy birthday to a writer who gave us the language to face what needed facing, and the courage to keep going after.

Last week the posy I brought home from the garden had a chrysalis attached though I didn't notice till I got home. If you, like me, haven't watched a butterfly emerge you won't be prepared for how amazing or how long emergence takes #TinyJoys a 🧵

We can spend so much time imagining what might go wrong that we forget to imagine what could go right.
Today, may your ‘what if?’ be filled with a little more hope and possibility.
