This book is *psychotic*. Revisionist, fact-free propaganda from the very first page. I know I shouldn’t be at this point, but it’s shocking that the authors were featured on The Daily

Genuinely surprised he’s said this so quickly rather than appear everywhere with a weird Elon Musk body double for several months.

This is downright disturbing. One said there’s no such thing as depression, another posted racist stuff. Any criticism and they bleat “fake news” in another era they would be Hitler Youth material. new.basw.co.uk/about-social...

Across the government, the Trump administration is scrambling to rehire many federal employees dismissed under DOGE’s staff-slashing initiatives after wiping out entire offices, in some cases imperiling key services such as weather forecasting and the drug approval process.

This photo says it all. Russian missiles killed 4 people overnight in Kyiv - including, appallingly, 3 first responders as they tried to rescue civilian victims of earlier attacks. Putin will not stop murdering Ukrainian civilians unless forced. European leaders must act. 🇺🇦

"All conspiracy theories are, at heart, a rejection of the Enlightenment. They are a retreat from upper functions towards our reptile brain.” Another insightful newsletter from Ian Dunt. If you haven’t discovered the Origin Story podcast he does with Dorian Lynskey yet, I urge you to try it out.

And they just kept digging that hole… “This only applies to those people who head outdoors on the pretext of enjoying some fresh air and who then cut off the street and engage in unneighbourly activities such as having barbecues, singing and playing the guitar.” 🎸 🎵 😂

In amongst all the excitement I fear many have missed this outstanding bit of trolling by Friedrich Merz. The Chancellor gifted Trump a gilded framed copy of his grandfather’s German birth certificate... reminding Americans that Trump is both the child and grandchild of migrants.

Musk just lit the match: “Trump is in the Epstein files.” This isn’t just beef - it’s leverage. The government he helped build is turning on him. When billionaires fall out, buried truths surface.
