Hospital patients die in the latest terrorist attack in Afghanistan. When will these Taliban arseholes stop their daily murder of innocent Afghans? twitter.com/guardian/statu…

When my mother was born in 1946, the world's population was about 2.5 billion. When I was born in 1973, it was under 4 billion. Today it is around 7.8 billion. By 2050, it could be 10 billion. That's quadruple in a century. Explain to me how this is not a problem.

The words 'populist' and 'popular' have about as much in common as 'sexist' and 'sexy'. Being the former does not necessarily make someone the latter - in fact, it can be a turnoff. Seeing as how many populists are extremely unpopular, we need to use a more accurate term.

Catastrophic, if true. Another country bombing Syria is not just tragic for the Syrian people, it pushes Saudi Arabia and Iran away from proxy war and towards direct conflict, which could so easily escalate way out of control. twitter.com/hxhassan/statu…

If I got a euro for every time somebody assumed my name was 'Kaleb', I'd still be frustrated but at least I'd be rich too!

I feel for the millions of disenfranchised too. One unexplored path in the Israeli-Palestinian conflict that I have long been advocating is to grant all the people living under Israeli control citizenship. Then everyone has rights and a voice, and a dialogue of equals can begin. twitter.com/rulajebreal/st…

Your smartphone isn't as harmless as it appears. It requires lots of energy and resources to produce and ship.

@eldahshan Quite a few Brits I know in Brussels now have Belgian citizenship or are in the process of applying. This may be a good time to introduce European citizenship. I would apply for it.

White male privilege allows Sean Spicer to "disagree with the facts" as press secretary, then to reinvent himself as Sean Spicey, dancer ordinaire. twitter.com/nowthisnews/st…
