@ClaraRo55 Let’s hope the people of Somerset vote the vile little man out.

I am so tired of people talking about how the UK is one of the wealthiest countries in the world when they say nothing about its levels of inequality. What is the point of being a rich country when you have so many people unable to afford to live?

@donmelton Agreed. My personal policy is that I will favorite RTs, but never boost them.

If they go to the trouble of copy/pasting and add a link, then I will boost.

The point is to engage here on Mastodon, not just to lazily RT from the Twit

Combine prismatic window foil, a sunny spot on the sofa, lucky timing, and this fluffy bugger. Voilà - Rainbow Cat.

"In 2019, the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention estimated that 18 superbugs—both drug-resistant fungi and bacteria—cause at least 2.8 million drug-resistant infections every year in the United States, resulting in more than 35,000 deaths (2). Of the 18 microbes, three are fungi: Candida auris, according to the CDC, is an “urgent threat,” drug-resistant Candida species are “serious threats,” and azole-resistant Aspergillus fumigatus is on the “watch list.”"

Quite like this #blackfriday

It’s #FollowFriday so I hope folks utilize the hashtag to find my account here!

A small reminder that baby Puffins are called Pufflings! This toot is intended to bring some extra joy to your timelines today. As you were. 😊 #Toot #Puffins #Boost #Birds

Me: Nana nana nana nana, nana nana nana nana, nana nana nana nana, nana nana nana nana BATMAN!
Nana: Ok, I saw him, don't go on about it

Twitter is losing users at an astonishing rate. This is why Musk suddenly wants to bring back every account that was ever suspended. Dump Musk for the Tusk!

There's no such thing as a 'self-made' millionaire.
