Whereas the influence of newspaper barons like Murdoch was 'in the shadows', through the back door of Downing St & splashed across front pages, the tech media age of Musk allows the algorithm to get directly into people's heads, activating emotional trigger points in a more targeted, insidious way.

That was the whole point, after all. Ban it or be forced to sell it to us. I can’t believe that Ego thinks he can control everything.

We must stop referring to the grooming gangs as “Muslim” gangs. Why are journalists doing this? There is nothing to suggest religion played a part. We don’t call the vast majority of groomers “Christian groomers” or “Christian paedophiles”. Grooming gangs involving some Pakistani men is accurate.

Well I’ll be darned. They’ve done it: crowd-sourcing truth. Expertise and evidence be damned. This is a populist epistemic victory right here. Make no mistake about why this is their policy in the US

Suella Braverman has just told #lbc listeners that not only has Italy built a wall on "its border with Turkey" but that she has been there "and seen it."

Elon Musk is a good example of how terrible people become increasingly radicalized into the far right simply because the far right is a community that accepts cruel, terrible people. It's tempting to say Elon is going "mask off", but I'd wager Elon didn't know who Tommy Robinson was 5 years ago. 1/

One of life’s unanswered questions is how this man has entanglements and adoring fan pages from women. What am I missing in all the static mess? Ladies, let’s be clear: this isn’t your typical “I can fix him” kind of chap. It's as broken as Brexit!

I I am patiently waiting for the Kid Rock ambassador role. The only qualification needed is loyalty.

The irony is that the man who didn't want the EU's influence on the UK is begging Elon to become involved in UK politics. It's the same playbook of digital voter collection and funding, X influence, media and celebrity influence, bro podcasts, donations, and Ads.

This is truly heartbreaking. Access to basic shelter should be recognised as a fundamental human right.

Mishal Husain’s last day on #r4today this morning. She’s the best of their presenters by far in my opinion. Capable of balance, & of rigorous, devastating interviews, without ever getting shrill, or hectoring & speaking over her interviewees. A real loss for the BBC.

I ripped this video from Eleonora Svanberg on X (she’s not on 🦋) She wrote: “I'm a PhD student at @UniofOxford and I think I'm living in a fairytale :-) Foxes playing around in the snow at Magdalen College this morning — absolutely magical!”

If you bring central London to a halt in order to campaign against catastrophic climate change then you're a "barmy" eco "fanatic" who deserves to be locked up. If you do the same to hang on to your multimillion pound inheritance tax exemption then you're a brave freedom fighter defying the odds

It seems like this might be a sponsored advertisement! You could almost smell the greasy food aroma, entwined with a hint of Old Spice and leather.
