Criticism of Israel ≠ antisemitism.
Discriminating against Jewish people based on their religion = antisemitism.
There's an obvious difference. Why can't Zionists understand that?

That's a wrap... my teenage years are over! Hello to my third decade on this Earth.
Let's see what my 20s have in store. I'm hoping to be where I want to be by the end of this decade.

Honestly, it's astonishing how often Google's new AI Overview thing hallucinates. It's obvious that AI isn't ready to be relied upon when even one of the largest tech companies in the world can't manage to create an LLM that doesn't confidently make shit up.

With each passing day, more and more countries are moving to the right side of history. But not us, Starmer - who is becoming more unpopular by the day - still thinks we should be enabling Israel to bomb Gaza and kill thousands of innocent men, women and children.
Starmer is an absolute disgrace.

I haven't been as active here as I said I was planning on being as 2024 has been a rough year for me. However, from now on, I'll be a little bit more active as my tweets will automatically be crossposted to both Bluesky and Mastodon. I'm looking forward to being a little more active here!

The last election was in 2019. Since then, we've:
- had a global pandemic
- seen record levels of inflation
- seen public buildings crumbling apart due to RAAC
- watched NHS waiting lists skyrocket
And the Tories have handled these crises terribly.

Natalie Elphicke is a good fit for the modern Labour Party because they've shifted so far to the right that they've become virtually unrecognisable from the Tories. That's nothing to be proud of - why has the "party of the working class" become unrecognisable from the Tories?

Israel is committing genocide against the people of Palestine and their actions during the conflict have been completely unacceptable. The UK Government needs to condemn the actions of the War Cabinet, halt arms sales to Israel and impose sanctions on those behind the genocide.

Happy New Year! 🎆
2023 had its ups and downs for me, but I'm looking forward to seeing what 2024 has in store for me. I've set a few different goals (some of which are very ambitious) and it'll be interesting to see whether I achieve them. I'm cautiously optimistic.
Hoping to use this in 2024!
