I beseech you to watch/listen to Timothy Snyder open access lecture series on Ukraine at Yale

New one just published today on Before and After the End of History.

The man has a gift of being able to cultivate critical thought.

Now that the Pro-European movement has had a slight burst of energy, with public opinion turning against Brexit, the national rejoin march having tens of thousands of attendees, and the #fbpe hashtag being just as active as ever; when do you think that the UK (or what’s left of it) will rejoin the EU?

Unbelievable people believed the lies that Brexit would bring "freedom".

Mastodon needs another name for posting; the status quo will not work. I suggest “chirping” (some elephants do chirp).

It's not going well for Brexit Britian. But Jeremy Hunt will tell everyone it's post pandemic or the Ukrainian war causing all UK woes.

I won't be watching a single game in soccer world cup. All those thousands who have died, mainly poor immigrants used and abused, forced to work in horrifically dangerous conditions. And the bungs given to the 'elite' to get them to go along with the cover-up. FIFA is a disgrace.

Does anybody know if #mastodonlists can be used to track #hashtags?

For example, I’d like to track #IrishHistory and #IrishArchaeology in a singular list rather than pulling up each hashtag individually.

Elon Musk 

Mr Musk has shown the damage a client media can do , he’s been touted as The Greatest Investor since Edison, The Real Tony Stark, and The Smartest Man Alive. All by journalists willing to repeat what his publicist told them.

He is the perfect encapsulation of the main issue with conservatism: mistaking luck for skill.

His luck has run out, his reputation is in tatters, he’s going to bankrupt all his companies.

Lads, the natives are very friendly here. Makes a lovely change from so many argumentative and negative twitterati.

Irish/UK politics 

Today was first time since 2007 a British prime minister showed up to British-Irish council? Offended by my own naivety but yikes on a bike that’s a way to tell people what you really think

Laughing at those who fought for Brexit, but now can't accept the consequences.

Have you ever needed to send money to someone urgently? 💸

Our new proposal aims to make payments in euros instant for anyone with a bank account in any EU or EEA country, at no extra cost compared to a regular money transfer.

The switch from "next day transfers" to "transfers in ten seconds" is comparable to the switch from mail to email.
