I don’t want a prime minister who staffs places like this, stuffs them with cameras to masturbate his ego. I want a PM who will shut these places down through lack of use. Bog off you unelected millionaire.

What a remarkable coincidence - the only peers, MPs & donors named as referrers to the Covid testing VIP lane are Conservatives!

No politician from any other political party seems to have succeeded in referring suppliers for VIP treatment

Just like the PPE VIP lane

Funny that

Great work from Good Law Project (& thanks to @fkamiah17 for flagging!)

Mastodon/The Fediverse now has over 1 million monthly active users, approximately the same as Twitter's estimated active user count in 2008, when I joined. People forget that Twitter also started as a weird, confusing new thing.

I want to echo what other Mastodon admins are saying: please report any harassment or violative messages you're seeing. Unlike the birdsite, your local admin will likely react quickly -- and you'll make the instance better for everyone, not just yourself.

So... please don't just ignore! Let us know if there's a problem.

Read about the young (29) founder of Mastodon, why he created it, and the surprisingly effective way it isolates hate groups.
