Hmmmm, I am running too many threads already. But how about a "#FBPE-people attacking Tories"-thread? It's clearly a worthwhile endeavor. Feel free to pitch in.

The argument is turning daft already. Do I need to go on? Do I really like really really need to go on? A waddadefuk. Here is a fine specimen of tory humiliation presented by - you guessed it - and #FBPE´er.

The JRM in this tweet is an acronym for a well-known, yes, tory. The attacker is - surprises never end - an #FBPE'er.

This is getting trite: each tweet makes the very same point. I could add examples in for forever and a day, and I'll probably throw in some more along the way, just for sports. But could we please please please get a new approach to this question?
But hey, even the truckload of evidence that makes up climate science has been able to make the denialists come around (ping @MA_Falconer), so I'll pile it up just because I can. Here an attack on Jeremy Hunt, a tory btw, by an #FBPE' er.

All three. Once more with feeling: #FBPE is pro the EU, thus against Brexit and against politicians driving or enabling Brexit. Since many - though not all - tories do one or the other, including the government, there WILL be #FBPE attacks against them.

I am still a #genre fan, so when #FBPE Alexa here attacks tories (and a single U-KIPPER) in a reconfigured Simon and Garfunkel rhyme, I have to include it here.

Aaaaah, #FBPE anti-tory hashtags as a way of outreach to Corbyn supporters. It's even getting systematic, and @ali__samson is always worth quoting. @Ferretgrove is lurking in the background here too, obviously. She would be.

My bad, that was "rot" them in hell. Must be precise here. Still not very pro-tory, though.
Listen, please. I think this is important, crucial even.
I assembled this thread of #FBPE people attacking tories. It repeats the same point over and over and over. I tried to be somewhat entertaining in my presentation, but there is basically only one thing demonstrated. 1/
It was very easy to do; part of the material simply came to me while establishing the thread, and the rest was easy to find. I could literally go on with it forever and ever, and if I feel like it, I might still add new material; easy piece. 2/
But since every tweet basically demonstrated the same point: #FBPE person attacking tories, it only gets more trite tweet by tweet. @audreidana said I was boring, and she was spot on. 3/
The #threats invaded my #Brexit#genre#thread. It was supposed to be mostly fun and #FBPE-games, but the threads turn it grim . So. I'll establish this new thread of uses of the threat as genre in the Brexit debate. It won´t be a lot of fun. #forensic#linguistics#genrestudies
Before I get going, a little piece of research dissemination on threats by my good colleagues @TanyaKaroli and @MarieEBM:
Exhibit A: @cliodiaspora has had to bear a truckload of abuse and quite a few threats for her engagement. I admire her intensely for sticking to her guns. This one is ugly in many many different ways.
At the University of Copenhagen we are going to have SUCH a Brexit dividend when we appropriate your EU-research funding and take away your researchers.
But still, most of us would still rather have you stay.

I've said it before, but I'll repeat it, as it actually makes me slightly agitated: The British public seems to have little-to-no idea about serendipity involved in the prominence of British universities.
Because English has become the international Lingua Franca of research, British researchers and research institutions have an priori advantage over the rest of us that could not be bought for money: They are "International" to start with.
After an intense vote (see below), it was decided that my 5k-followers celebration thread should be on genre and fake news. A topic which I, for fairly strange non-standard reasons, happen to know a little bit about.

A short thread on #RemainerNow-acceptance. To my pleasure, I have noticed that when someone declares herself or himself a @RemainerNow the recepetion from the Remainer-community and particularly the #FBPE communitiy has been largely enthusiastic. 1/
However there invariably seem to be somebody that is so furious about the whole Brexit ordeal that they fire all cannons upon meeting a #Remainernow. I find that at the same time completely understandable and a very dumb move. 2/
It's completely understandable because Brexit is such an enormous act of stupidity on a national and international level that it must get tempers rising. In particular, of course, tempers with continuous remainers who have seen Brexit for the shambles it is from the start. 3/
So, while we are resting on the #FBPE-laurels after a hot chase of #WATON, a few very preliminary thoughts on #Brexit and #genre. As my handle indicates, I came to #Twitter with an intent to talk about genre #research, but I have ended up talking about Brexit instead. 1/
Or is that indeed "instead"? A central finding of #genrestudies is that #genre is well nigh omnipresent in human culture, cognition, and communication. Thus, we think, react, and act in genre patterns, and we all have a surprising aptitude for understanding and using genre. 2/
Thus, it may never have entered your mind while discussing #Brexit (or, hopefully, the lack thereof) that you are constantly using and discussing #genre. But you are. Allow me to show you. 3/
