Everybody making out this is a good scientific opportunity, whereas the truth is it’s an irresponsible act, that could easily have impacted the Earth instead, by an irresponsible idiot called Musk.
Everyone asks why 'Are Nige Fartrage gave up a lucrative career in the City to take up politics. But what if he wasn't that successful? Former colleagues confirm he was sacked for losing client money and repeated afternoon drunkenness at his desk. He's making money now, tho.

Thank you to Mexico & Australia for sending your fire fighters to aid us when our closest physical ally threatens to fine or tariff Canada even as smoke from Washington & Oregon blow into BC. We send fire crews & our Super Soaker water bombers when the USA is on fire. TACO issues threats. Sad...

We refuse to be passive bystanders to manufactured chaos. Real leadership doesn't come from billionaires with big megaphones, it comes from ordinary people demanding our leaders stand up for international law and human decency. Sign the open letter!

It will take all of us to break through the fear and noise and show our leaders a better path.

By stoking far-right nationalism, tech monopolies are actively trying to fracture democratic blocs like the EU. Why? Because isolated countries are far easier to bully and deregulate than a united wall of 450 million citizens.
Stop calling Elon Musk's Ceuta border tweet "just trolling." Start calling it a calculated attempt to weaponise crisis, stoke division, and erode democracy. 🧵👇
I think we may’ve spoilt his promo video, they were filming on my drive so I said oi you can't film there unless you pay me £5 million
Poor Andrew Husband, Reform UK Leader of Durham Council. He complained to IPSO about the Sunday Times article “Reform council leader's firms went bust with £1.5m in debts”. IPSO ruled the article was accurate. Ouch.

Elon Musk has agreed to spend $91 Million dollars to assist the Corrupt Republican Candidates. Fuck Elon Musk. No, Seriously, Fuck Elon Musk. And the Rigging begins.
'Solar farms are destroying our productive farmland!' cry the fossil-fuel-funded climate science deniers. In reality solar farms currently use up about 10% of the land area taken up by golf courses (0.07% vs 0.7%). And climate change is wrecking far, far more productive farmland.
I'm delighted to hear that BP doubled their profits, making £4.2bn in just 3 months. Not that I have any vested interest in it, other than the £50,000 given to us by the wife of former senior BP executive James Hay.

This is pure extraction of wealth from one group of people to another We urgently need: Windfall tax on oil giants Windfall tax on banks Both are creaming money off us during a cost of living crisis Even Thatcher had the balls to tax the banks Will you @andyburnham?
Is it though? It ain’t over until the fat lady sings and I only hear a bit of tuneless humming in the distance. Thing is, Farage is backed by some very rich & powerful men, rich fossil fuel companies, climate deniers and foreign agents. They will want a return on their investment.

Ron Filipkowski@ronfilipkowski.bsky.social · 18h agoIt was over for Max Miller politically when he said his wife couldn’t have been abused because she offered to make him dinner 6 days later. He may not have known it when he said it, but that was the end. You have to be a sick bastard to come up with that as your defense.

I can understand that people may be insomniac, but I’m not sure how they want me to respond when they seem so proud of baking and cooking stuff to eat in the wee small hours in the middle of the night.

AI allows Trump to make images of his impossible fantasy life, where the old, diseased, inadequate ignoramus leaches fame, glory, celebrity, virtue, courage & talent from placing himself among historical figures (ones who can’t sue him). He himself is incapable of any of these faculties or gifts.
MeidasTouch@meidastouch.com · 21h agoStolen valor from Mr. Bone Spurs. An insult to every man and woman who has worn the uniform.
The Righteous Rupert Lowe-Life preached about leaches sucking the financial blood out of Britain. This is the same Whoopert Lowe-Life whose company took £100k in furlough cash despite making £7.9 million profit He really didn’t need it but it was free, it was available so he took it like a leach
