Reluctant Tw@tter exile. Writer/journalist-type creature. Still pseudonymous & living off banditry & the sale of old relics. The usual.
Am I the only one to note the uncanny resemblance between #DonaldTrump and Charles Le Brun's Pig Man and Boar Man?
I am always suspicious of moral entrepreneurs like Jamie Oliver and Hugh Fearnley-Whittingstall. They seek power for the 'best possible reasons', which makes them like every other busybody and petty tyrant.
Yesterday night, hail and lightning. Tonight, sultry and oppressive. Like the UK, the weather does not know what the hell it is doing.

One of the quirks of my Twitter days was the huge number of Turkish accounts (all genuine, I should add) who just started following me one day.
I'm not complaining, of course, but I do wonder if I've overlooked my core audience all this time. Anyhow, what's Türkçe for "Baaaaa"?
RT @TomLondon6@twitter.com: #windrush cruelty was NOT a mistake. Home Office officials acted as their political bosses wanted i.e. to create a hostile environment. The bosses were May and Rudd.
Both May and Rudd knew and did nothing. They allowed the cruelty to continue.
This *should* be a resigning matter

Anyway, Torchwood: Children Of Earth managed 4/5 good episodes before RTD remembered he was RTD and wrote it off a cliff. So, I guess 4/5 a good ghost story will have to do... #TrueHorror
Rather good in the end, until the rather flat, somewhat bible-bashing ending. #TrueHorror
Watching #TrueHorror on Channel 4 right now. I'm getting Ghostwatch vibes...
Really, asking "what should replace Facebook" is putting things the wrong way around.
A more interesting way to ask the question is, "what did Facebook replace."
People used to build their own websites. People used to have blogs. People used USENET which was truly distributed and un-censorable.
Facebook and Google took the open internet and open standards and monetized and made everything crappy. Enough of that. Nothing should replace Facebook, it's done, stick a fork in it.

Non-sequitur of the day:
"That's a nice tie!"
"It's from New Zealand."
Someone is trying to set up a museum of turds in the Isle of Wight. I'm not joking.
