And fully half of it is a humiliating error where they mistake the value of a contract by 1000x confusing 8 million with 8 BILLION

Just let this sink in In 2016 Vote Leave marginally won The UK gov knew of Russian interference to deliver Brexit And despite that, May, Johnson, Truss, Sunak, and now Starmer have chosen to do what Putin wants- weaken Europe- instead of protect our democracy from Putin Shameful

Glad @snopes did this but maybe we should stop making memes about what a 4 year old said in the Oval Office & focus on how he should not be on display like a “cute prop” (that is what Musk apparently joked he was). Sorry to go all mom on you but it’s terrible parenting www.snopes.com/articles/469...

This is absolutely insane. Musk’s DOGE crew just straight up *took* $80 million from an NYC bank account!

I will never yield a nanometer in my open contempt and disgust for the drones and useful idiots who called Musk a free speech hero.

A gay guy, a Black man, and a woman walk into a flight deck— that’s not the beginning of a joke, but just a regular day at work! There was so much DEI on this plane that we could hardly get in the air. Luckily my limp wrists were able to wrestle the heavy jet back to the ground 💅🏼

If you wanted no leaks you should have gone into Settings -> Security -> Configure privacy & security -> Privacy options -> Other -> Configure -> Media interface and clicked “Disallow.” The Leak setting is on by default but we understand your privacy is important so we’ve made it easy to opt out

The vile, sadistic crimes of this rape gang will not make national headlines, or trend on twitter for days. Govt will not have to account for failures to protect its victims. And all of us are less safe, because there is a concerted campaign for us to focus only on perpetrators with brown skin.

Love Barnsley and love this woman - more people like this and fewer racists please. For any Americans reading this - Barnsley is a town in northern England surrounded by (ex)coal mining villages. Margaret Thatcher tried to destroy it, Reform target it - and this woman saves it!

I really feel the days of overly dressed up and corporate style messaging, previously associated with competence in politics, are over. People’s mistrust is at an all time high, and they are sick of their politicians not acting like human beings with actual emotions.

With the economy being so rough I’m thinking of starting a side hustle, selling spines to American politicians and lawyers.

#booksky I am really struggling with my attention span but genuinely want to get back into the habit of immersing myself in a good book. Any advice on how I create the environment to do that?

For the uninitiated, this Elon Musk video game thing is like if he'd bragged he's one of the top chess players worldwide, went live on YouTube using a Chess.com account with a top ten global ranking, and then spent 5 minutes calling his knights "horsies" while trying to move them in straight lines.

"'Patriot' sometimes reads like a thriller in which the narrative opens with 'If you’re reading this, I’m already dead.'" And so he is, but he speaks from beyond the grave, and we should listen. @cathyyoung63.bsky.social on Navalny's posthumous memoir:

Anita Bryant is a perfect cautionary tale about how being a hateful asshole will almost always erase all of your other accomplishments. I've always heard she was a popular singer (who was also a spokesperson for Florida orange juice) but have never heard one of her songs played anywhere.

No objective observer who's been reading Elon Musk's unhinged tweets; his unhinged replies; the misleading screenshots he amplifies; the anonymous trolls and white supremacists he amplifies and advocates for; the fake data/reports he amplifies, has any doubt that he's unwell. It's publicly evident.

Classic case of self-proclaimed alpha male proudly displaying their inability to hold any independent thoughts

Completely in agreement with this. Also relieved to see a backbone from Starmer today clapping back at the vile rhetoric we’ve seen lately, as I think being passive risks normalising some of the horrendous conduct we’ve seen lately as acceptable.

Funny how these "difficult conversations" about the UK always involve attacking already vilified minority groups, rather than say, offering even the mildest criticism of the richest man in the world running an unhinged racist misinformation campaign against us

This has to be the most dishonest reporting of an opinion poll I've ever seen The survey actually found that over two thirds of voters *do not* think Starmer will be out of No 10 within a year.
