Nothing damages trust quicker than the realisation that the intention is to please people, not protect them. True reassurance isn't about saying nice calming words. It's being straight-up honest ("there's a problem") alongside visible action ("so here's what we're going to do").

Indeed the whole reason we protest police violence is that cops DO NOT HAVE THE RIGHT TO ASSASSINATE YOU no matter how much of an asshole you are or aren't.

Yeehaw, bae: An embiggened #Scrabble dictionary cuts slurs and adds words new and old "We also turned verb into a verb so you can play verbed and verbing," said Merriam-Webster's editor at large, Peter Sokolowski. npr.org/2022/11/16/113717951…

If you could have a Theme Park of anything what would you pick? I want full to scale Ankh-Morpork including smell and being greeted by Foul Ole Ron & the Canting Crew. Food is either C.M.O.T sausage-in-a-bun or rat on a stick. You can't leave, you just end up in the Tanty.

well if Twitter is gonna be deleted anyway, I’ll be brave enough to say it: the Tesla logo just looks like a IUD and gives me flashbacks every time I see it

It is my view that Australian and NZ Twitter should unilaterally secede from global Twitter and form a new, better Antipodean Twitter that is simply elite shitposting, batshit ozpole, and each of our own weird little interests
