I made a new year's resolution not to get involved in pile ons or outrage-a-thons or even sympathy-a-thons and it has so far improved my Twitter experience
Obviously you can't be on Twitter and totally avoid these things but at least I'm trying to wait a day to see what I want to say about things, which in itself is helpful
Nb I have a theory that sympathy-a-thons are a flip side of outrage-a-thons as they create this sort of expressive inflationary pressure where you suddenly have to show solidarity or whatever with any number of things, and everything else gets crowded out.
appreciate I'm not expressing myself very clearly here! Work in progress

I feel the country is not currently blessed with leaders who are gifted in the art of compromise
May is the kind of person you want in control of a longstanding dispute with the electric company over an £83 overcharge that ultimately, 5 years later, leads all the way to the Supreme Court
Corbyn is best suited to a dogged 20-year campaign to have the colours of your local traffic lights changed for some reason

Not sure who it was representing the government on R4 but by my count he said ‘clear’ over 20 times.

In litigation, the use of ‘clear’ or ‘clearly’ is usually an indication of the weakest part of any argument
It would be so refreshing to hear someone from Theresa May’s government doing an interview where they weren’t sticking to a script and actually said what they really thought. But May herself is incapable of that.
It’s so exhausting to have to listen and so unsuited to the current politics which require honesty and bravery not more obfuscation and trickery

Decoding Zuck's doublespeak

A thread in which I try to interpret his new year's resolution for 2019 ( facebook.com/zuck/posts/101… )
First I was surprised how nice Zuck seemed and willing to ask good questions. Then I looked carefully and saw the strategic public relations stunt they were pulling off, like in the previous years' resolutions.
Given all that we know about FB's public relation tactics, historical records, leaks, statements from ex-execs and ex-investors, I know this is not a naive post. Specially after 2018, when they took the largest hit in the market.

Today I say a prayer for the New Year, that my sins of the prior year be forgiven, the slate be wiped clean, and that by His guidance 2019 shall be GLORIOUS!
I’m not making a New Year’s Resolution this year... I never do. I vow instead once again to continue the #TRUTH REVOLUTION!

1/ so you have a new year's resolution. congratulations, and at the same time, god help you. here are the issues you'll experience in the next 12 months, trying to keep it.
2/ issue one - you're going to forget it. so, you need a reminder system that sits with you wherever you go, and wherever you most commonly look. for most people this is going to be their phone. here are some options:
3/ streaks - an app that logs how many days in a row you do your resolution. also works for apple watch, if you have it. i've been using it for literally years and it's been a game changer: itunes.apple.com/ca/app/streaks…

THREAD:

I have a little story for you guys. It's a humble story about how everyone, in their own little way, can scrap with far-left Bluechecks and win those small battles.
Let me start by saying that the situation is ideologically weighted against us. That much is obvious. But even within the framework of globalist acceptability, certain things are verboten, which we can exploit. Let me explain.
When far-left Bluechecks express their views, what language is acceptable for them to use? They say that ordinary people, older people, white people, rural people etc. need to be educated, they need to be 'fact-checked'. We need to fight 'fascism' and 'hate'. All anodyne & vague.

Turning 30 today has made me super reflective lately, thinking about what I’ve learned each year so far in my life:
1 - Family is the foundation of everything.
2 - You go much further when you listen more than you speak
