seeing some new faces here! welcome. here are the ground rules:
- there are none. there is no “using it wrong”.
- use content warnings however you want (or not at all)
- ignore tone policing. it can get a bit much, so…
- …if someone gives you the ick, block ‘em.

our time is short and valuable — there’s no point in spending some of it letting some dude hound you in replies for not calling Twitter “the bird site”. that guy sucks.

enjoy your stay besties ☺️✌️✨

Will update a pinned post when the process is complete.

So to confirm, because Bunter was too tight to pay his own legal fees, the Cabinet Office got to see his diaries. Because they are officially the client.

Which means that in the process of defending him from one set of crimes, they found evidence of ANOTHER set of crimes, for which they've now had to refer him to the police.

I have just laughed through my nose.

Rooting for a problematic global corporation wasn't on my 2023 bingo card, alas here we are.
