The kindest Thing one may say of Battery-Power'd Brigand Mister MUSK is that he is merely Mister Basil FAWLTY at a planetary Scale, belatedly discovering that hosting Guests & motivating Workers may not be his God-giv'n Callling...

Is this the End? I did not enjoy my first Death by Stroke in 1783; I take no more pleasure in my impending second Demise by Keystroke at the Whim of emerald-engorg'd Despot Mister Elon MUSK.

A very happy first birthday to the Fifth Johnson’s Willow, which was planted on 2 November 2021. The tree has recovered well from some early damage, and has put on a lot of new growth with sun and watering this summer. Some of the tree’s admirers visited it today to celebrate.

Am I an Impersonation? A Parody? A TRIBUTE-ACT? 'Tis almost as if Twitter does encompass greater Variety than the petulant Cosmos-Botherer Mister MUSK can comprehend.

Going forward, any Twitter handles engaging in impersonation without clearly specifying “parody” will be permanently suspended

Henceforth, "We were most profound Politicians" shall be the approv'd Euphemism to describe a Conversation fuel'd by five Bottles of CLARET. Mister BOSWELL is now ABED, seeking Shelter 'neath his Duvet, reviv'd with a Tincture of Lucozade SPORT.

Mister TRUMP may be a hastily-varnish'd DESPOT, but he does compose his Tweets like I do

GOVELLER’S TRAVELS Aug 18th The author gives some account of his first inducements to travel. It would not be proper to trouble the reader with the particulars of our adventures aboard the Shitetanic in attempting to carry the hopes of our nation’s youth to the 1/6

When you create a twitter feed for the Samuel Johnson Society (@SamJohnsonSoc) and your top suggestion is “You may want to follow Kim Kardashian”. Yes, I’m sure that’s exactly what the Great Cham would have done, Twitter. 🙈
