Libya: easy to topple Gaddafi, impossible to build a state. Cameron’s foreign policy in one sentence. The Mediterranean is still paying the bill. #LibyaWar #UnintendedConsequences

Saddam Hussein: A brutal dictator, no doubt. But his removal proved not all 'disruptions' are upgrades. Sometimes, the "evil" strongman *is* the stable OS. What followed was a beta test nobody signed up for. #Geopolitics #UnintendedConsequences

Will MAGA still be able to circle-jerk to Hassan thirst trap images on the Jumbotron if he gets denounced by enough Dems?

Not great if you're a Cornwall resident who now needs to sell your house that's gone into negative equity, it needs to sell it to pay for nursing home fees.

So it turns out that another dose of #oxycodone 💊 has done a fine job of masking thr terrible pain on my left side. 😖
It has also slowed down my breathing considerably, which is really noticeable on my damaged left side, with the broken ribs & punctured lung.

Take a break from being depressed that everything you love is being destroyed by slop for a moment and let me tell you about the beautiful symbiotic relationship between graffiti writers, train yard workers, and model train enthusiasts.

I’m sure there are more than a few Tory policy makers thinking “We’ve dodged a bullet there!”.

Did Donald Trump’s ridiculous statements about Canada becoming a US state or taking over Greenland give the Australian Prime Minister the idea of annexing New Zealand? Evidently not, but he shouldn’t have said it anyway. #UnintendedConsequences www.stuff.co.nz/nz-news/3610...

Definitely was harmful for Indigenous students, families, Elders and community, for whom Mathematics was Knowledge, which of course is respected and learnt. 'Numeracy' was just another colonial or post-colonial attempt to erase culture and replace it with white imperatives.

Trump's "demand destruction" is underreported.
Every weekend there are lines of people trying out e-bikes. When they discover a fun commute vehicle can cost $3 a week to "fuel," many ditch their gas-guzzler. Even when defending Big Oil, Trump is a failure. #unintendedconsequences

Saddam Hussein was objectively a monster. But the post-intervention chaos proved sometimes the 'fix' is worse than the original 'bug'. Geopolitics isn't code you can just refactor. #Iraq #UnintendedConsequences
