My Twitter account has just been suspended!

I mean – I did it myself shortly after Mulch took over, mainly in response to the appalling, heartless and spineless way in which he sacked most of his workforce. But I went back, and now I’ve been suspended. “What for?” I hear you cry.  Apparently I called some racist blonde fascist a bimbo. At least – I think that was it. I can’t get in to see. I can’t get the account unsuspended until I delete the Tweet, but I can’t delete the Tweet because my account is suspended. Seriously, you can’t make this shit up.

It’s very sad, but Twitter is no longer what it was. Mulch is engaged in a solo race to the bottom  and has turned Twitter into a sad shadow of it’s former glory – a nasty, feral place full of racism, conspiracy theories and right-wing bile. It is now his vanity project – a place where only those prepared to brown-nose the Mulchkin get shunted to the top of the feed, such that you’re met with these puffs front and centre whenever you log on.  Algorithms boosting the toadies and the grovelers.

All power to those who want to stay there and fight this repugnant slide into meanness and mediocrity, but this time I realise that I’ve wasted too much time on it and really can’t be arsed to go back. That said, there’s a double standard here that needs to be called out. Mulchkin calls himself a “free speech absolutist” and has said some pretty vile things about those he doesn’t like or agree with.  Now, I’ll say this bit slowly so the knuckle-draggers on the right can understand it –

YOU CAN’T HAVE FREE SPEECH THE WAY MULCHKIN PREACHES IT AND THEN IMPOSE RULES ABOUT WHAT PEOPLE CAN SAY.

It’s called hypocrisy – go look it up.
