The modern downfall of the UK didn’t begin with the lies surrounding the referendum of 2016, nor with the election of the interminably insufferable tory clusterfuck in 2010; it actually started with Cadbury’s kiboshing of the Spira in June 2005.

@freemo And there I was, planning to sleep this evening.

The Cure, Bauhaus, Siouxsie, Joy Division, This Mortal Coil, The Associates? The soundtrack to #LockwoodAndCo is totally my jam. 🤘

@xtaldave Love that emoji! 💯

@mrnathannelson Cheers. Glad to be on the other side. 🖖

@kaimatai Just a whole bunch of unexpected/painful/oh-ffs/😱 stuff which have been complete time/energy/brain/life-sucks. Thankfully nothing completely tragic, although it had potential to come close on occasion. La vie, or so it goes.

@skanman Don’t ask me; I’ve been MIA until about 5 minutes ago. Hello and welcome back!

Somehow still alive. That was certainly a couple of months.

@xtaldave Cat - Judy Dench or Brian Blessed.

@DrRacheal Boo! GWS!

@david_colquhoun Indeed. Twitter invested heavily in enabling push-based promotion, both algorithmic and paid-for, so became well-suited to news-type content.
I don’t think that Mastodon serves that kind of content very well, being more akin to a traditional personal pull-based microblogging platform which is more ephemeral than the primarily promotional platform that Twitter later became.
