Scary stuff.

upwardology.bsky.social•34 days ago

Wonder who wrote that first post, because it doesn't read like Trump.

Was initially calling Stockholm syndrome but it's, oh dear, shame, some dude spilled kerosine in your restaurant, all over the tables & chairs you say, let me send some guys round to clean up for you, sure, you'll be open again tomorrow, how can we prevent this happening again, 50:50 sounds fair

It’s 1984

nadine66.bsky.social•35 days ago

Why would it stop at SM? Why not demand a 50% participation for all foreign entity businesses in the US? 🤷‍♀️

norrette.bsky.social•35 days ago

Corruption, writ large. Back him or die.

And hoping the Senator's right and he has no power to absolve his Funding Fathers of the ruinous financial penalties they face if they restore the service.

"allow it to say up"? shurely some mishtake

andystoin.bsky.social•35 days ago

That's mental. The second image refers to him as President Trump too. He's not even been sworn in yet

mari-bradbury.bsky.social•35 days ago

That’s what I thought….

ianrobo.bsky.social•35 days ago

Well no one forced to use them of course and it is time for people to get off but the main media are rabid for it

j-mellor.bsky.social•35 days ago

Trump playing with the Chinese is like a non league football team taking on the EPL champions away from home.

You get our data
And you get our data
...and YOU get our data

All the idiot Faragists in Britain who hate the BBC will be cheering this 🤦

clarkeeeeee.bsky.social•35 days ago

Meta platforms aren't far behind either, given Zuck's willingness to kiss ass.

laikax.bsky.social•35 days ago

kiss? Christ he's buried shoulder deep up there inhaling pure, sweet, bigly powerful methane! Zuck is stuck.

steve2h.bsky.social•35 days ago

So much for ideals of the internet being based on freedom.

lucyarnold.bsky.social•34 days ago

For a country that is famously anti big government America has capitulated surprisingly easily!

andygilder.bsky.social•35 days ago

Musk would love the US government to take a 50% share in X

Halve his liabilities with the stroke of a pen

stevexe.bsky.social•34 days ago

50% US gov, 50% Musk

mark16.bsky.social•34 days ago

Not even remotely subtle, is it?

irritatedllama.bsky.social•35 days ago

It's totalitarianism.
"Censor who we tell you to, or take the ban!"

br-uk.bsky.social•35 days ago

A month ago it was already clear, at least to me, what the end game was. There's Bezos and Zuck too. But I still lean towards thinking it's another asset for the neo-nazi oligarch.

Incredible since Biden didn’t even enforce the ban.

TT ‘shut down’ of its own volition and in cahoots with team Trump so that he can declare a “great victory, the likes we’ve never seen” when it magically re-emerges.

Well, here we are. Land of the free? No. Land of the stupid….

samgleave-1970.bsky.social•35 days ago

I think you might find that Tik Tok were in on the whole ‘Trump to the rescue’ propaganda act as well

copybot.bsky.social•35 days ago

Gee, you think?

samgleave-1970.bsky.social•35 days ago

Appreciate your sarcasm 🫡

basexperience.co.uk•35 days ago

I’m thinking that too. They’ve come back online and said it’s thanks to Trump. Biden handed him a huge win there with younger voters. What a moron.

samgleave-1970.bsky.social•35 days ago

I think I’d blame Trump’s never ending thirst for corruption ahead of a mistake from Biden ⬇️

alannahr.bsky.social•35 days ago

Trump being Trump is a given.
Biden just gave him more fuel for the "Democrat Bonfire" he's having tomorrow.

samgleave-1970.bsky.social•35 days ago

Ifs, buts & maybes considering we could go all the way back to Trump tying up the Supreme Court in his favour coupled with Bader Ginsburg’s passing

stevecrowther.bsky.social•35 days ago

Not original, quite historically sinister and never ends well.

sheila-the-thief.bsky.social•35 days ago

I just hope our government, and the rest of Europe that still has sensible leadership, are paying attention.

ians.chat•35 days ago

Isn't this, err, socialism?

prj45.bsky.social•35 days ago

National socialism maybe.

sirrekf1.bsky.social•34 days ago

Whereas, '606 forum' was self moderated, immeasurably cheaper and generally better than contemporary social media platforms.

I'm up for state funded media in theory at least.

harrybobs.bsky.social•35 days ago

He so didn’t write that himself. So the question is - which of Musk’s minions wrote it for him?

alansayscoyh.bsky.social•34 days ago

Fascists in seizing the means of production shock.

yrhengoes.bsky.social•34 days ago

Dictatorship by oligarchs. Control the media and further enrich yourself.

mr-blogberry.bsky.social•34 days ago

So, Bluesky... "do ya feel lucky punk?"
