I'd fancy in a parliamentary democracy the Trump Dump would have the leader out of office, or on a last chance to change course. Presidential system means Trump can double down on more tariffs and deeper trade wars.

Jaw dropping watching that earlier. What a total excuse for a human being the American's have as President.

I think about this a lot. How previous generations worked in dusty factories, repaired old clothes, lived in cold, damp houses & holidayed at a seaside town 50 miles from home. Now we sit in front of laptops, drinking 4 coffees before 11am. Aldos Huxley's Brave New World (1932) is happening.

Imagine bringing up the 20 year old murder of a teenager to make a political point. Gutter level doesn't come close to what Musk is steeping to. What a horrible, irredeemable, morally bankrupt individual.

Such a weird obsession Musk has tweeting about all time low fertility rates. This is a normal trend in developed countries where people have access to contraception. Musk leaving enough open to be a sinister reason behind it.

Has anyone noticed the cost of protection has gone through the roof? Feel like this is a big issue for planning as it was always a core of a financial plan. But costs seem to be astronomical for modest protection plans! #IFA #financialplanning

I think the NYT has to retire Connections. It's clear the game has run it's course and is next to impossible most days now. I will not be saying anything further on this matter.

The only thing @bsky.app is missing is a good iPad app. Really really hope it's in the pipeline.

Question. If you were a contemporary in the 60s, was it uncool to like the Beatles?

Twitter is hideous following the vote in parliament today. People blatantly misrepresenting the legislation, claiming disabled people will be murdered and this amounts to state sponsored suicide.

Personal feeling is that people should have the option for assisted dying. It is inhumane to let terminally ill people drown in the fluid in their lungs or starve to death. Once your time is up, you should be able to end your suffering.

Wow. There's plenty of things to critique the Chancellor for. This is not one of them.

Not Connor McGregor! It's always the one's you least expected.

Not sure if this is a good enough likeness, but good enough for my modest standards. #chappellroan #fanart #portrait

Bryson deChambeau hole in 1 challenge (now on day 10). Odds of a pro holing out from 100 yards are 900/1. If this rings true, Bryson will need 42 days to get to 900 shots. Can argue if it is harder not being able to see the target or easier hitting the same shot over & over. Still a tough ask.

BlueSky has reached critical mass. We're not going back!

2 bad days for Jaguar in a row!

Seems like BlueSky now has a critical mass and should have a lot more growing to do. Test will be if wider news and sports accounts will use this for when live things are happening.

Clearly crypto is now considered an asset class that people invest in. People have made a lot of money from it, but it should be very much considered a high risk investment. Here is a cautionary tale. 🧵 www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...
