Musk, Twitter, Toxic work environments 

@MichaelMoran

Also probably falls foul of EU and UK work regulations.

Musk seems to be trying to see if rules are going to be enforced on his company.

Eilean nam Ban, known locally as Seagull Island, is a mile or so out of Kinlochleven on the north side of Loch Leven. Historically, it was used as a meeting point for clan chieftains to settle their differences and more recently as a location for a slightly more adventurous wedding.

😡😡😡😡While you are watching Bully Boy @DominicRaab@twitter.com strutting his stuff at #pmqs, I am listening to desperate mums unable to afford to feed their families. Cutting back on food, only buying basics. After Raab has finished sneering, this is what HE will have for lunch #toryscum

Former Cabinet Minister George Eustice tells the Commons the Australia trade deal "is not actually a very good deal for the UK" blaming Liz Truss for "an arbitrary target to conclude Heads of Terms" by the G7 summit and "from that moment the UK was on the back foot"

Politics, Brexit 

"Indeed perhaps Brexit itself will be permanently in the political doldrums, a constant drag on the British economy and on British international standing, yet scarcely discussed as if it were the habitual drunken lechery of an elderly uncle at family parties: unpleasant to contemplate and considered in bad taste to mention, until he finally dies at which point everyone says how much they loathed him."

In a slow Brexit week @ChrisGrey finds his fangs.

@EnPrimeurLefty
this is not a site for campaigning or battle, it's a civilised place of discussion and information sharing.
And most of us can pretty much assume "Brexit is Shit" so there's no need for debate on that.
We can share the evidence of how it's ruining our lives though, and there's plenty of that!

RT @BillKristol@twitter.com

A plea: Do not underestimate Trump.

He won the Republican nomination twice and the presidency once. He's a proven demagogue on the national stage. He's launching early to stall others' momentum. He could win the nomination again. He could win the presidency again.

I'm alarmed.

This has been shared numerous times, but just in case the Tories need reminding of their failures. Foodbanks in the UK 2,500. McDonald’s 1,374. #FoodBankDayNov30

@jneill @podgyfingers @kamado @sallydipple @Dunningkruger @catvaxlax @Madmixchaves@glasgow.social @JohnWest_JAWS @The_Colbobs @EmmaKennedy it will depend on the admins for the specific servers.

Most instances have an about page that shows what is blocked. You can generally click on someone's profile picture to take you to their profile on their home instance and from that to the home instance homepage

And from that you can see a list of blocked servers.

For example

Today's gospel reading (16.11.22): Luke 19.11-28

This is a story that encourages us to make use of the gifts we have been given, and not to hide them away. What special talents and abilities do you have, and are you making best use of them? Could others benefit from them?

@podgyfingers @kamado @sallydipple @Dunningkruger @catvaxlax @Madmixchaves@glasgow.social @JohnWest_JAWS @jneill @The_Colbobs

Yes, unfortunately <something> (I'm not sure what) apparently happened... Presumably with the admin of that instance which you are on ( mastodonapp.uk) not suspending someone contentious, and now that instance is blocked by several other instances.

I'm reading between the lines but the admin of that instance has issued an apology.

For example @EmmaKennedy was unable to see someone on there.

@Riotgrandma72 Sunak was probably pleased that the G20 gave an excuse to cosplay as a world leader rather than face PMQs again

@hacks4pancakes any specific lists you recommend? I use them on Twitter but haven't here yet.
