X is dying.
Monthly users on X
May 2023: 24.3m
May 2024: 22.1m (-2.1m)
May 2025: 18.9m (-1.8m)
On this trajectory, the monthly X users in the UK could easily dip below 18m now & so may fall behind surprisingly high monthly users of LinkedIn (18.4m in 2025) by May 2026!

Donald Trump says climate change is a “hoax” and a “con job”.
But at the same time the US position is that they need Greenland because the melting Arctic ice is creating a security risk.
At this point, I think it’s pretty clear who the real con artist is.

There had been a lot of chatter/hope/speculation that we would hear from the Supreme Court at 10am today on the legality of Trump's tariffs. But... they've only posted one opinion, and it ain't the tariff one.
Continue to be uncertain about whether the biggest cause of uncertainty will continue.
