“So you gave Trump his Twitter platform back. Absolutely disgusting, Elon. That is officially an asshole move." https://www.rollingstone.com/music/music-news/jack-white-quits-twitter-elon-musk-donald-trump-1234634462/

@geordie But what if you leave and never come back the app will be lonely and also unable to insert trackers.
"Please," said the man, "can you do magic to make me be kind?"
"No," said the witch. "Magic cannot change anyone's nature."
"So there is no hope for me?"
"You ask the wrong question. Kind is not something you are. It is what you do."
"Is it that simple?"
"It is that hard."

Three days before Christmas a few years ago.

A ten minute walk from my home, there were no cars on the roads, like mine they were probably all stuck in the snow!

Just one of those perfect, pastel, frosty winter days. Silence and a sense of time frozen like the landscape.

The balance between the trees and the sheep in the composition was magical serendipity.

You might have seen somebody using the proverb Vox Populi, Vox Dei. What was missing was the context in which it was used:

Nec audiendi qui solent dicere, Vox populi, vox Dei, quum tumultuositas vulgi semper insaniae proxima sit.

In case you do not speak Latin, it means in English:

And those people should not be listened to who keep saying the voice of the people is the voice of God since the riotousness of the crowd is always very close to madness.

Musk has used "Vox populi, Vox Dei" to justify reinstating Trump on #Twiiter. But the quote is from a letter from Alcuin to the Emporer Charlemagne urging him to resist such ideas, "Nec audiendi qui solent dicere, Vox populi, vox Dei, quum tumultuositas vulgi semper insaniae proxima sit." Which translates as "And do not listen to those who keep saying, 'The voice of the people is the voice of God', because the tumult of the crowd is always close to madness."
