Over at #Twitter, I responded to Elon’s post that “the people have spoken & Trump will be reinstated” by pointing out that surveying your own followers isn’t "the people."

That was 9hrs ago & I didn’t think more about it. But a journalist just reached out to ask why it shows 137 comments that she can’t see. So I checked & indeed, only 2 show up. Curiouser & curiouser.

Could be nothing, although I wonder if it’s a sign the #birdsite may be in trouble?

Reasons to support your little independent #bookshop.

We've just got this GORGEOUS #Heartstopper wrapping paper - every order of Heartstopper will be wrapped in this Nick and Charlie paper free of charge (while it lasts!)
