If you claim to support human rights yet can’t bring yourself to show solidarity with those fighting for their liberty in Iran, you’ve revealed yourself. You don’t give a damn about people being oppressed and brutalised so long as it’s being done by the enemies of your enemies.

Pretty much everything Nick Cave says these days is so uniquely original and open and channelling what I believe is the best way to be human: just nosing around, checking things out, allowing yourself a deeper lever of thinking, and then being honest about your own responses.
Nick Cave finds he has to justify himself to strangers who decide they don't like his personal decisions, and (IMO) does it well:

Stop. In the name of "secularism" you have targeted Muslim women and the Islamic faith for years.

No, no, no, no. That’s not how it works. Dyson made a decision to build electric cars in 2016 and they must now deliver. I don’t care whether or not it’s “commercially viable” - a decision was made. bbc.com/news/business-500041…

They must have known it wasn’t “commercially viable” in 2016?

As a founder-parent I've had to: 1) Hire an EA 2) Be home by 6pm 3) Work my ass off from 8am-6pm, M-F 4) Not work on weekends 5) Have a full time nanny 6) Go to sleep and wake up earlier 7) Box out alone time with my wife 8) Spend less time with friends* *painful reality

Dear Mr Farage, as an NHS doctor who cares for terminally ill inpatients, let me tell you what’s disgraceful. 1/n
This is the most extreme form of project fear yet, these people are an absolute disgrace. independent.co.uk/final-say/…

Why the gov's "will of the people" Brexit mantra is bollocks: 1. Vote Leave cheated. 2. It was based on lies e.g. £350m for NHS. 3. Only 37% of the electorate voted for it. 4. Scotland & London voted against. 5. 69% say Brexit is going badly. 6. Public supports a #PeoplesVote.

I have spent the day away from Twitter, and have returned to several thousand notifications. It’s mostly the same angry, uninformed, badly-spelled hate, fuelled by idiots abroad and enemies of reason at home. I’m tired, so consider this thread my last word on the topic. [THREAD]
