His poll numbers are TANKING.

Musk threatens to shut off Starlink if Ukraine doesn’t sign the minerals deal - that’s extortion. If Starlink is used as a foreign policy tool to undermine European security, it should be banned from the EU market, says Janis Kluge from the German Institute for international and Security Affairs.

The petition calling to rejoin is due to be debated. I think that's as far as it will go. This is a different approach Let's have a plan B shall we? Petition: Commission a public inquiry into the impact of the UK exiting the European Union petition.parliament.uk/petitions/70...

This is how you do it. Other news agencies like Axios and CBS, stop rolling over! Grow a spine, stand up straight and fight!

This is really something

I am torn as to whether to use social media, and so I'm using social media to voice that concern. (This sort of thing is probably why my books don't sell.). Here's something that will give a sense of my problem. lawrencegoldstone.substack.com/p/lessons-fr...

My laptop has done an update, and now Word is forcing Copilot on me, and I am livid. I want it to go away. It's not *enabled*, but I have to see the icon hovering on the side of the page, begging to be used. The tips and tricks for removing Copilot aren't working. @microsoft.com, this is TRASH.

This is the NY POST??????? It's like Himmler criticizing Hitler.

You have to love it when the Judge implies that a homeless wino passed out in front of the courthouse could argue your case as well as you're doing now:

When even the New York Post has to publish this, you know you fucked up.

@lawrencegoldstone.bsky.social not sure about the title, 🤭, but otherwise greatly enjoyed 'Going Deep', your v readable account of John Holland, his milieu, and the genesis of the attack submarine. Just purchased 'Drive!' on strength of your excellent ability to craft a great read amzn.eu/d/htXClaV

Without friends

A wonderful opportunity for two young people who don't have much by way of cash or connections to get started in (digital) media. I'm a trustee of the charity, founded to commemorate my great mate Andy, who wanted us to help kids like the one he used to be. andytaylorfoundation.org/our-work/?fb...

Every reporter today should be asking every Congressional Republican why they're OK siding with Putin and walking away from NATO and democracy.

“Pay no attention to the man behind the curtain!”

Trump is a Russian stooge. Putin may as well written this himself. And any Republican in Congress who said they support our allies before, but are silent today over this, are worthless.

"This was not a case of racing gone wrong... but of him menacingly pursuing the cyclist and his friend" Road rage driver who killed cyclist “to teach him a lesson for doing wheelies” found guilty of murder and set to be sentenced for life

#AmIBeingUnreasonable. Late to the party on this, but really enjoyed this dark, unexpected, comedy. Not a bum performance throughout, and an amazing achievement for S1 of any 'comedy'... Completed S1 yesterday, can't wait to start S2 - both on #BBC #iplayer... en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Am_I_Be...

Now I know he's a Bond villain.

And all of them were being investigated, until Musk dismantled the government departments that were doing the investigating

#chicken #climatechange Since 1961, average global consumption of chicken increased 4 x - from 2.3 per chickens person (human pop in 1961 c 3 billion) to 9.4 chickens per person (human pop now 8 billion). But ofc, it's not an average as some groups will eat far less and some far more chicken...

In my city there is one cybertruck and one DIY parody of a cybertruck and the parody truck has become a local celebrity. Meanwhile, I always wish I had some rotten eggs to throw at the tesla whenever I see it.

The amount of secondhand embarrassment I have even just watching this is through the roof.

Kemi Badenoch says we don't need to give away Chagos islands Despite her Conservative government conducting 11 of the 13 meetings to do so

The construction sector has warned it simply doesn't have the workers to build the 1.5 million homes pledged by the government. Between 2017 & the end of 2020 the ONS reported a 42% fall in EU-born construction workers in the UK. Thanks, Brexit. www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/poli...
