Ive never seen him so upset, added his third wife, Madeleine Gurdon. Lloyd Webber was so traumatised by the whole experience, he went out and bought an emotional support dog - a Havanese puppy named Mojito. Faced with the issue of how to transport this pooch to New York in the middle of the pandemic, the composer tried writing to the airline for special dispensation. The airline wrote back and said, "Can you prove that you really need him?" "Just see what Hollywood did to my musical Cats." The approval came back with a note, "No doctor's report required."3

Ok.. you have to give Andrew Lloyd Webber a bit of credit for this act of chutzpah don’t you

Once upon a desert sandy
As through winds the trav'ling man he

So there is apparently a new wave of Twitter folks here? Well, here’s a starter pack of cat accounts if you’d like! go.bsky.app/J8yqxnN

I take it back, sorry. It seems he wasn't banned (AFAIK). the issue appears to be that he *hasn't been banned yet*. Numerous mentions of the ToS being changed to avoid banning him, despite his transphobia and harrassment.

This is all slathered in caveat sauce ofc.
It's just what I've gleaned from reading other people's comments on it, so it could be at least partially innaccurate.

I've been trying to find out this morning also. As fas as I can make out, a transphobe/right-wing figure (name unknown) has been allowed back onto the platform after being banned, and bsky have changed the ToS to allow that, despite this person's continued awfulness.

Now, I don't have skin in game in the US, but this video is great. It sums up what the military invasion of US cities is all about, and gives some great suggestions on how to foil those plans.

There’s an antiques emporium in Norwich of such unfathomable strangeness every visit produces fresh gasps of bewilderment and terror. Recent finds:

Back when I was a teacher (90s) a kid came to the staff-room door yelling that another kid was being beaten up. A teacher asked "Who is it?" and was told it was a kid we all knew to be a malicious little sod. We all looked at each other and said in unison, "We'll be out in a minute".
