You’ll see a lot of posts today about #BlueMonday, supposedly 'the most depressing day of the year'.

Don't buy into it.

There’s zero scientific evidence behind it – it was invented in 2005 as a marketing stunt to sell holidays. 🧵

Donald Trump treats the international stage like a schoolyard playground, attempting to bully and brute force other countries into compliance with his imperialist agenda.

The UK cannot continue to appease an erratic, unreliable leader under the guise of a "special relationship."

And ditch that nazi deepfake-porn platform for anti-democracy troll armies from (r)U(s)S(i)A.
And encourage your employer, sports club, favourite shops, and idols to do so too.

If on average every European diverted 100 euros in spending away from American products and services, that's €50 billion right there. That's gotta hurt.
I did replace my AirPods (which were ready for replacement) with Sennheiser earbuds rather than new AirPods. That's the easiest bit.

Should the #AssistedDyingBill fail, it would not only be devastating for terminally ill people and their families, but would also undermine our democracy – with unelected peers thwarting the clear will of the House of Commons through procedural delay.

Should seven people be able to block a popular law?
After an unprecedented degree of parliamentary scrutiny, the Terminally Ill Adults bill now risks defeat by just seven unelected peers

Outrageous bare-faced lies - it’s extraordinary what the right wing press can get away with.
Thank you @drsimevans.carbonbrief.org for such a thorough debunking
Truly wild that the Sun, Daily Mail, Daily Express & Daily Telegraph all covered false claims that net-zero will "cost" £7.6bn – or even £9tn – which assumes we could have free gas, free petrol, free petrol cars & free gas power plants if we scrapped net-zero

This can’t go on. UK news shows have got to start calling Nigel Farage out on this ridiculous bull****. Please start doing your job - for all our sakes
If UK news shows are going to give Nigel Farage a platform to spout this absolute boll**** about Brexit & the vaccine rollout (unchallenged) I’ll happily come back every week to correct it.

We cannot allow him & others to rewrite history.

Still can't get over how Apple and Google removed the ICE app that alerted people that ICE was in the their community, but won't remove an app that has an AI tool that creates 'nonconsensual sexualized images of women and CHILDREN'
X’s Grok AI tool is being used to generate nonconsensual sexualized images of women and children. This is unacceptable. @wyden.senate.gov, @markey.senate.gov, and I are demanding that Apple and Google remove X and Grok from their app stores until Elon Musk addresses these heinous violations.
Senators urged Apple and Google to remove X and Grok from app stores over sexual deepfakes
“Turning a blind eye to X’s egregious behavior would make a mockery of your moderation practices,” three Democratic senators wrote to Apple’s and Google’s CEOs.
