This is the ultimate dick boss move from Musk - except he isn’t even the boss, he’s just a dick.

Hope everyone in the UK remembers what Elon Musk is doing to the US government the next time Domminic Cummings writes a 30,000 word blog post on his plan to replace all the "NPCs" in Whitehall with 19 year old Nazi superforecasters.

General Charles Q. Brown Jr., Faithfully and Honorably served the Constitution and The People of the US for 41-years in the USAF. His last posting was as the 21st Chairman of The Joint Chiefs of Staff. He was unjustly fired by the dangerously unqualified SECDEF. I proudly stand with Gen. Brown.

It was reported this week that British special forces officers vetoed asylum for their Afghan colleagues, because those soldiers had seen them commit war crimes against civilians and might be called to testify against them in court. As far as I can see, nobody who matters even blinked.

I was set to launch my book at the Carter Library next month. This week, we were told all events now need approval from the National Archives. The next day, my event was forced to relocate. A book about the working homeless. A book about civil rights. Apparently these topics are now off limits.

The mainstreaming of white ethnonationalism (aka racism) in the UK was, of course, wholly unrelated to the racist bilge Fraser Nelson published in the Spectator during his 15 years as editor.

Side note. There are eight members of the joint chiefs. the chair is black. the CNO (navy) is a woman. the other six are white guys. chair and the cno got fired tonight.

200 million dollars of waste.

The Trump Administration is challenging regulations around the world and will likely impose a price for: ‘regulations imposed on United States companies by foreign governments that could inhibit the growth or intended operation of United States companies’ www.whitehouse.gov/presidential...

In every single interview I’ve done with international media since Trump took power I’ve been asked: Why are there no mass protests? There are many reasons, of course, but the utter refusal of the self-proclaimed “fourth estate” to communicate clearly what is happening has to be high on the list.

I'm not having Fraser Nelson playing dumb on the rise of racism on the right after years spent printing Murray, Liddle, Taki and Shriver. I literally had a DM row with him years ago where I said this would happen.

This is fucking stupid.

"During the meeting, Ukraine was told it faced imminent shutoff of the Starlink service if it did not reach a deal on critical minerals, said the source, who requested anonymity to discuss closed negotiations." Astonishing betrayal of an ally. www.reuters.com/business/us-...

Trump to shut down all 8,000 EV charging ports at federal govt buildings

Teachers teach. We need a leaderful movement, and there are leaders all around us.

Friday Night Purge: Trump fires 6 Pentagon officials, including Gen. Charles Brown, Chairman of the Joint Chiefs and Adm. Lisa Franchetti, the first woman to lead the Navy So many thoughts about this, most of them unprintable

Alright, I think I’ve finally wrapped my head around fully committing to using this app instead of the other one. Let’s go. 😂

Just look at these paragraphs from the AP story. Hegseth called Brown unqualified solely because he's Black. Then they fired him... and replaced him with a white guy so indisputably unqualified that he requires a Presidential waiver. This is what "merit" means to them. apnews.com/article/trum...

Donald Trump is ending the national database of police misconduct

Sometimes as a journalist you find something out that you know is has the potential to be a society-level game-changer. When my phone rang this morning, on a crowded train, I knew this would be one of those stories. Apple is removing its toughest data protection tool from the UK….

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.

One of President Trump's anti-congestion pricing mouthpieces has a notable conflict of interest: Her husband owns more than a dozen parking garages in the very part of Manhattan where driving has been reduced by the toll.

Here’s how many billions Elon Musk’s companies are making from U.S. taxpayers

Bureaucracy, famously not important in war

And here we have it. Follow the money. Always follow the money. #Musk is also getting ready to shut down the #NOA (to be replaced with his own satellites?), and eventually, replace everybody in the #IRS with Musk's own AI. It's all about the money. It's always about the #money.

Was Succession based on the story of Rupert Murdoch and his heirs? Or is the Murdoch family based on Succession? Clear an hour of your day for this magnificent piece of long form reporting by @mckaycoppins.bsky.social for the @theatlantic.com. Oh boy. www.theatlantic.com/magazine/arc...

I have three reviews to go for the Obs but today, after 180 of them, is my last column for OFM. So I thought I’d summarise my searing advice from the last 15 years: the wisdom, the provocations and the occasional stupidities. Enjoy. Or grind your teeth.

Holy shit we must protect this man at all costs

Pritzker: If we don’t want to repeat history, then for god’s sake, in this moment, we better be strong enough to learn from it.

Elon’s busy schedule today is claiming astronauts were left in the ISS for political reasons, getting corrected by an ISS astronaut, throwing a fit where he calls the astronaut a slur, then complaining that we should deorbit the ISS

I appreciate everyone’s messages of support, I’m trying to get through all my mentions but as you can imagine, it’s been a bit of a busy day :) Remember - peaceful civil disobedience, and no kings, no tyrants. Not ever.
