🚨🚨God, in pure hysterical delusional 'Telegraph' style Sean Thomas has mastered the craft of writing one of the worst columns of the week. Needless to say, 1) No, #bluesky is far from dying, 2) #Twitter/X is nastier than everything on social media (excluding the porn sites).

🚨🚨 Characteristically strong speech by EU HR @kajakallas.bsky.social on need for unity: " Russia is a threat to global security. During the cold war, the US and its allies far outclassed Russia. Today, against NATO and the EU, Russia doesn't stand a chance. But we must stick together".

⚡️As Trump stays silent, US Embassy makes late denunciation of Russia’s attack on Kyiv. "We extend deepest condolences to the victims' families. This senseless attack runs counter to President Trump's call to stop the killing and end the war," the U.S. Embassy in Ukraine said in a statement.

Their 14-year old intern is on social media again. The Tories need to make up their minds whether Trump is an ally worthy of courtesy, a rival, an enemy, an obstacle to be negotiated or what. Instead they go with “sTarMEr baD LOL”. Not serious people.

Previous US administrations prevented Netenyahu pursuing his lunatic plans. This one has been utterly humiliated by him, having to play catch up with an actor it cannot control or condemn. What we're seeing here is the reality of US decline.
