"Amazon deliveries." This is Jason Calacanis, a venture capitalist & prominent Musk toady. And he does not know a big percentage of Amazon deliveries are made by the USPS. I will never get over how stupid the people at the top of US society are.

Legitimately the stupidest man alive I cannot fucking STAND this shit

bonkers shit as Trump waves around a printout of one of his Truth Social posts meant to show how he purportedly gave water to California

Just seen Farage and Truss (grifting over in the US) described as "the Slug and Lettuce".

if it knows what's good for it, the bbc will market an asmr recording of Jonny Dymond saying "oooh" in response to being told about Mars in the night sky #r4today

Nothing to do with DOGE publishing an email address and the world flooding that inbox with lists of what they had been up to that week.

yay for the Airplane! question on #OnlyConnect

1) feels like posters have now beaten trad media for influence over US elite but not quite hit uk yet outside the right 2) yes this is deranged but also remember when Rebekah Brooks would randomly invent/demand a government policy in the 2000s 3) “bored men want quirky japes” is a big part of this?

NEW: Macron has to interrupt Trump and correct a lie about Europe’s contribution. TRUMP: “Europe is loaning the money to Ukraine. They get their money back." MACRON: “No. We provided real money. To be clear.” Trump clearly not used to get fact-checked live.

"despite the US voting against it" bleak

❗❗❗ former leader of Reform UK in Wales has appeared in court accused of accepting bribes in exchange for making statements in the European Parliament that would benefit Russia, a court has heard www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

How about a Reform UK candidate for the May elections calling for the assassination of the Prime Minister?

thread: Mr 1,017 - yet another Reform candidate who's made it though their scrupulous vetting process

I know we all love a dose of hopium, especially now. But the take, which I see all across here, that the far right was defeated in Germany tonight because 80% of Germans voted for other parties is very misleading and unhelpful. Understanding this really matters. 🧵

Free speech no longer exists in the US government. For @theatlantic.com I spoke with 12+ federal workers in 6 agencies who said the Trump administration’s actions have led to pervasive self-censorship, even on issues some view as critical to national security. 1/ www.theatlantic.com/technology/a...

I’d like to think I’m the first person to get into a flame war with VPOTUS from the swimming pool of Woburn Center Parcs at half-term.

Musk just amplified a leader of Germany’s far-right AfD, who called the country’s Holocaust memorial a “monument of shame,” demanded a “180-degree turn” in how Germany remembers Nazi crimes & was convicted for using a Nazi slogan Let’s hope the people of 🇩🇪will choose wisely in tomorrow’s election

CPAC concludes with the count of Nazi salutes on stage at 3.

blocky cal just needs to realize that the revocation of his visa was just part of god's plan

about 3 years ago i would have been sure this was a @coldwarsteve.bsky.social it's actually from www.independent.co.uk/news/world/a...

these Telly Savalas films are *awesome*

i can't remember who it was in The Bad Place that said that, whenever a Trump story involves someone calling him "sir" it's a made-up story, but it's a handy rule of thumb

Tom Krause is in charge of both a sensitive government payment system and a company that has millions of dollars’ worth of active contracts with various federal agencies through distribution partners, a WIRED review finds. Conflicts posed by this are unprecedented in the modern era, experts say.

can i just be the very 894543rd person to say that i did nazi that coming

Jordan Bardella, the president of France’s hard right National Rally, has cancelled his plans to speak at CPAC after Steve Bannon “proactively made a gesture referring to Nazi ideology.” In other words, Bannon and CPAC are now too extreme for the French extreme right.

“... in order to pay for this staggering amount, the plan calls for sweeping cuts to essential programs, including potentially Medicaid, Social Security, food stamps, and more.” All to pay for mass detention camps and mass family separation, in our name and tax dollars.

Once upon a time, these were actions by a private company. Now they are actions being undertaken by a high-ranking government official, in connection with his public activities. This raises 1A issues that didn’t exist before.

Today we received a stop work order on the services we provide to detained immigrant children, including Know Your Rights presentations and legal education.

listen to this. Elon can barely form a sentence right now.
