This DNC should have been an apex of Biden’s political career. After half a century of waiting, he could walk on stage as the main event—not just as president, but also nominee. He would be final speaker, the closing act. Instead, he was the warm-up. t.co/vNKpsxCaWI

Joe Biden is playing nice for Kamala Harris – but it won’t last

Whatever grudges he bears are buried for now - if he wants to settle scores, he is happy to wait

Credit where it is due, this is brilliance

It’s a good headline but it does suggest the piece is a bit more positive than it is!

I wrote about the ongoing X-odus, and about why I don’t think Threads is the future. But @emilybell.bsky.socialwww.theguardian.com/media/articl...

‘Threads is just deathly dull’: have Twitter quitters found what they are looking for on other networks?

There’s been an exodus of users from X, propelled by Elon Musk’s lurch to the far right, but the alternatives have drawbacks too

I’m the wrote a book one, rather than the invested in stuff one!

I tried Threads first for reasons of Content but then remembered I’d briefly tried here and actually had a few followers, so thought I’d dip my toe again. Any bigs dos and don’ts since I was last here?

Thank you!

Let’s give it a whirl then!

Alright then, let’s dust things off and have another go here. And it only took 11,000 or so abusive @s in a week to convince me to try it again… If I follow you on The Place That Shall Not Be Named, do give me a wave and I’ll try to do the same here.

The premise of my piece is Biden has no intention of actually interfering in how food markets work in a meaningful way. By going “oh no shrinkflation is actually serious!!!“ you’re *actually* buying into what you call neoliberal centrism more than I ever have.
