We’re in for weeks of this on end. One of Musk’s tween haxx0rz stumbles into a complicated system they don’t understand, thinks they’ve discovered something earthshattering the veteran dunces never noticed, relays to Musk who also doesn’t understand, and broadcasts it to millions of followers.

Stuck ambulance.

After all the squawking about government overspending and waste, Republicans in the House Freedom Caucus are proposing a $4 trillion debt limit hike to borrow more money. 🤣

🚨 Thanks to our lawsuit, the world's richest man has been stopped from stealing your data. DOGE's unrestricted access to Treasury systems is incredibly dangerous, and this emergency order halting their access proves it. I'll never stop fighting to protect our residents.

Keep it closed permanently and close the rest of them whilst you’re at it.

This is what it looks like when you lose a massive spacecraft on its way to orbit right over the Caribbean. Lots of commercial flights turning/holding/diverting to avoid falling debris from SpaceX's Starship.

Only a few individual seats remaining for my show in Torquay 22nd February. It's a show about the night sky and stuff. So, you can fully enjoy it on your own without someone who would prefer an Abba tribute evening. Get your ticket here and enjoy it with the rest of us

The irony of MAGA wanting to take over Canada and Greenland but can't handle being outside in the cold for a single day for Donald Trump's inauguration. 🤦‍♀️
