Wonder if Musk's yen for Sci-fi led him to read 'Definitely, Maybe' by the Strugatsky Brothers?

This war is an absolute disaster in the making. Would be madness for the UK to get involved www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

Finally got around to rigging up #robotvac & apparently I should 'supervise' it's first run in case it gets into 'difficulties'. I also have to clean it regularly. Decided to call it Dick. Re Philip KD who filled his stories with homeostatic devices. Also, "FFS it's just a rug you Dick! Get over it"

A Met Office study reveals that the chance of exceeding 40°C in the UK is accelerating at pace. The chance of exceeding 40°C is now over 20 times more likely than it was in the 1960s. Temperatures several degrees higher than we saw in July 2022 are possible in today’s climate. bit.ly/4lfcTU4

The Israel-Iran conflict — and a glaring lack of unity inside the G7 — largely overshadowed discussion the Indo-Pacific at this year's summit in Canada, adding to fears of disengagement from the region.

The same people demanding you present a photo ID to vote are perfectly fine with letting you be arrested, handcuffed & thrown into a van by armed men wearing plain clothes, face masks & presenting no identification of any sort.

It's been quite some time since I swanked around airports or train stations or sat poolside with a book that's both timely & page-turningly stimulating. Looking forward to doing so, with this from @helenlewis.bsky.social ;

Thought experiment What if a bunch of radical woke mature students impersonated ICE officers in order to kidnap & indoctrinate the children or parents of several leading, talking-head republic/fascistic media commentators. On their return home they could espouse why MAGA commentary is such bullshit.

One for Starmer & Reeves. Tell everyone they've been "starved of exposure to UK" & now as everything is much better, thanks for asking, they would very much welcome some inward investment. However, London has plenty of hedge funds, mostly with a weather eye on the slow rejoin to the EU, as strategy.

✨👏🏾STANDING OVATION👏🏾✨

Sequence of Events: 1. Putin called Trump 2. Trump asked Zelensky not to strike Russian energy infrastructure. 3. Putin launched a massive attack on Ukrainian energy infrastructure with hundreds of drones, ballistic missiles and cruise missiles, causing significant damage.

In 1953, MI6 and the CIA plotted to overthrow Iran's democracy. British officials wanted "a non communist coup d'état" in Iran to install a "dictator" who would promote UK oil interests, declassified files show www.declassifieduk.org/iran-1953-mi...

97% of extremist-related murders in the U.S. in 2024 were linked to right-wing extremists. It’s not a political movement anymore - it’s a hobby for failed men with too much testosterone and not enough brain cells.

Having a day free of unsolicited TV, radio, new news & have muted 'telegraph' here, forever.

Even the 'running dogs of capitalism' have been outsourced from private contractors. #InHedgeFundHeaven #HighOnTheHedge

Is it Sunday morning already?

Not seen any footage of the weird military parade in Washington. However, I am looking forward to July 4th, when the 'leader of the free world' will be displaying the many thousands of fireworks which he certainly will not be lighting any time soon. As he likes to keep the peace. #TerribleAnalogies

I remember when this place was still invites and a big % of the TL was users complaining about Twitter like an ex that was still processing a breakup. These days we're living our lives & it seems X users are doing the same about Bluesky. Sorry boo we just don't think about you that much these days.
