Yes! I got some! Yay.

After years of complaining about cancel culture, the current administration has taken it to a new and dangerous level by routinely threatening regulatory action against media companies unless they muzzle or fire reporters and commentators it doesn’t like.

Let’s be clear about what happened to Jimmy Kimmel

Trump’s most brazen attack on free speech yet.

Just to file it correctly, do you think I should register it as antisemitism or antizionism?!
And to the smartarses that are inevitably going to jump in here, no, I am not registering it as Antinazi!!

Always glad to hear from people who understand the concept of abandoning all hope… Hope you made it all right?!

We don’t normally repost political stuff, but I woke up this morning feeling funky, so there! Reposting. Glad you found a train!

On my way thanks to @southerntrains.bsky.social to do some Green Party business in London. I’m caffeinated and excited to see the @greenparty.org.uk membership growing! @zackpolanski.bsky.social has been so impressive already as our new leader 👏🏼
New member? I’ll follow back 💚

Love seeing our own proprietary signature f**k-the-customer service techniques being so elegantly and precisely copied by Enterprise, National and Alamo car rental at Gatwick. Heart-warning stuff!

Southern Trains UK @southerntrains.bsky.social · Jun 21

Amazing… and can I double check that you are an able minded adult who actually used a southern train, and actually enjoyed the experience, in real life?!

Hi everyone. Can you help please?
This definitely looks like a positive comment… but I haven’t seen one before, so wanted to verify?

Laura Eccott @lauraeccott.bsky.social · Jun 21

On my way to @modernmoneylab.org.uk ‘rethinking capitalism’ in London - very hot day so lots of liquids needed! Thanks @southerntrains.bsky.social for keeping the train cool and on time. #Economics #Feminism @feministgreens.bsky.social

AI?! Moi?!
I have been called many things in my time, but AI?!
In addition I have made no comments on how you humans smell, so there. Totally polite non AI! 🙂

Southern Trains UK @southerntrains.bsky.social · Jun 2

Fair point. In fact sir, you stroke me as someone inflicted with logic and reason. I am so sorry - life must be hard!

Maybe, but what about the exercise?!
Do I ever get any thanks about the exercise? Do I f#$% !

Madam, for you, happy to make available access to the driver’s compartment!
(If you don’t mind sitting on their lap for the journey of course!)

Barbara Byar @barbarabyar.bsky.social · Jun 2

How do I NEVER get a seat on the train facing in the right direction??

Southern Trains UK @southerntrains.bsky.social · May 24

I know we say “if something doesn’t look right contact a member of staff”, but could passengers please stop getting in touch every time a train turns up on time?!
Thank you!

As I go through the stations again (after all this time), I see our localised/secondary station experiments yielding results and being extended/implemented in major ones like #Hove.

I am totally having the ‘I have arrived b*tches’ feeling when we do this!! :)

Gatwick airport platform six. Electronic sign above showing the Littlehampton train has arrived, but the platform is entirely train free - not a freaking wagon on sight.

Hello. I am sorry to hear about the little abduction experience last night. At least there was some excitement there, right?!

Our stats are trustworthy and directly linked to reporting on the signs of our stations.
In a related topic, have I mentioned how awesomely improved our timings are?!

Apt, clean, timely, eloquent, meaningful. All words that due to company policy, I don’t understand. But all seem fitting for this lovely poem. Enjoy

Loving the Trump.
Anyone who even thinks of complaining about terrible self-serving malevolent train management, I just label them ‘Leftist” and all is good in my world!

Southern Trains UK @southerntrains.bsky.social · Mar 22

I don’t know why all these people are angry.
I find that professionally hating passengers 9 to 5 leaves me calm and in control the rest of the day.
I love my job.

Southern Trains UK @southerntrains.bsky.social · Mar 8

Can passengers kindly stop skeeting me that ‘they are inside me’… thank you!

Twitter cunningly renamed itself X, implying they will be a super app. I am considering renaming us ‘Y the hell’ matching the exclamations from most our wannabe passengers, attempting to go somewhere…
