My Picks for Top Tweets: 19 August 2017
Day 14 of top tweets. That's two weeks! I'm quite proud of myself for keeping it going! All the nice comments are a great encouragement. Thank you all for your support. It means a lot to me. I've veered of track a little today by putting in a couple of Facebook posts...
My Picks for Top Tweets: 18 August 2017
Well, I've kept Top Tweets going for thirteen days now! Sorry I'm so late getting this up today - I've had responsibilities in the real world to discharge. It doesn't happen very often, but obviously they have to come first. I've tried not to do too many political...

Day 12 of top tweets. There's another new category today: "Other Apes". By "Other" I mean, of course, not humans. The inaugural entry (though it's not the first ape tweet - that was here) is a baby Hanuman Langur, which I've never heard of before. There are more...

Day 11 of Top Tweets. I thought I could avoid it, but I can't. Once again there are a lot of Political Tweets. Donald Trump is the president who keeps on giving. "I know some very fine white supremacists." FFS. I don't even know where to start. There'll be some good...

Day 10, and the tweets are still coming. I see President Trump has finally got around to condemning racism and the KKK. That's great, but why does he always have to be dragged, kicking and screaming about people being unfair to him, to the altar of decency? When you...
The North Korea Crisis: A Donald Trump Creation
Originally, this post was a fuller analysis of the North Korea crisis. However, it became extremely long, so I'm chopping it into smaller posts. One section of the main post was a look at the way President Trump is handling the affair personally. It's clear that Trump...

Day 9 of daily tweets. I can feel the habit forming! It was really hard finding good tweets today. The Twittersverse is dominated by the events in Charlottesville. Thus, there are more tweets in relation to that horrible clash. I despair for humanity when things like...
My Picks for Top Tweets: 13 August 2017
Day 9 of daily tweets. These tweets are supposed to be, at least partly, an escape from some of the horrors going on around the world. I started writing today's one and quickly veered off into the horrors of Charlottesville. Anyway, that's all now part of a separate...
Charlottesville
I made a start on my usual Daily Tweets post and before I knew it, hundreds of words about the horror in Charlottesville were on the page. Thus, a separate post is in order. The violence is bad enough, but it's what's behind the violence that has me feeling physically...

Day 8. I think this might be better than I've ever done on a diet. Perhaps if food were words I'd look better? I can't move onto the tweets without a comment on the North Korea situation though. Today's developments are once again making parts of my posts in...
My Picks for Top Tweets: 11 August 2017
Well, I did it. One whole week! It's hardly enough to establish a habit though, so more work on this is still a requirement. North Korea is dominating the headlines, and I'm preparing my own take on the issue. Things are changing faster than I can write, and most...
My Picks for Top Tweets: 10 August 2017
As you can see, I've made a change in the title for the daily offering of tweets. I think this makes more sense than what I was using before. So, here we are at day six! One more and it'll be A Week of It. For non-Kiwis, 'A Week of It' was the name of an hilarious...
