No longer following Jum after his recent shite, but I did find it funny that shortly after tweeting his Courier column saying "The problem here to use an old adage is that ‘a lie is halfway around the world before truth has its boots on’," - Jim quote tweets an image of election results with Lorna Slater in last place, except of course he doesn't mention those are her 2017 UK election results and not 2021 where she was elected...

Playing with fire, I've decided to block Elon Musk. No doubt I've now appeared on one of his hit lists and my account will mysteriously disappear.

I don't think you can block the man child anymore.

I won't name the tweeter, but on the Nicola Sturgeon thread @Richey Edwards pointed to one guy openly fantasising about the rape and murder of Nicola Sturgeon. Richey, being a good guy, reported the tweet as did @DeeTillEhDeh and @Leith Green

Apparently though the tweet was fine. Twitter, under Musk, have no problem with this kind of thing. No safety rules broken, no problemo.

I was wondering if I should have reported it to the police. It is a malicious communication after all.

Not a violent person by any stretch but if someone spoke about anyone like that in my presence, I'd want to boot their teeth out.

From what Richey said it looked like the guy’s account was locked and wouldn’t be unlocked until he removed it, which he now has. I know it’s nitpicky, but that means Twitter have looked at it (whether by human or automated process) and decided it’s not serious enough for a ban. It’s only lack of alternative that’s keeping me anywhere near it just now, and I’m watching Christopher Bouzy’s Spoutible thing with some interest.
