This is what a bot farm looks like, created to perform mass actions: thousands of devices connected simultaneously, executing automated tasks such as liking, tracking accounts, inflating views, or spreading content in a coordinated way.

What appears to be a genuine interaction, is often not.

It is Ok as a non-Ukrainain to want peace, but if you are seeking to dictate what the Ukrainian people must give up for that peace, I think you are overstepping.

For better or worse Zelensky is the leader they have until they have the security to resume regular elections.

It would be extremely convenient timing for the Trump Administration if diversity was found to be at fault for the Mid-Air Collision over the Potomac last night.

A bit like when in 1933 the Reichstag was burnt down and they found a communist to be at fault.

Finally watched Civil War, Firstly it wasn't what I expected. Secondly all the reviews I've heard gave me no clue.

It did have meaning, I'm just not sure it was the meaning people wanted. And I'm still not sure if I liked it.

For all the hysteria about Grooming gangs over the past 10 days, very little practical was offered by the loudmouths in the Conservative Party or Reform UK.

They haven't even created a petition, that's how I found this petition which calls on Mandatory reporting by volunteers and Professionals.
Petition: Make it a legal requirement for individuals to report child sexual abuse
The previous government proposed making it a mandatory duty for those working or volunteering with children to report child sexual abuse. We would like the Government to make it a legal requirement fo...

I'm beginning to realise that the majority of people don't understand how Government works? Especially in the UK.

Politicians direct, Civil Servants do the work within their own departments.

They also don't seem to understand the role of the Executive particularly the Prime Minister.

My Brain is broken, I saw someone say the Kardashian mansion has burnt down and then I remember a Missing Garment bag which went missing 30 years ago.

It is true that large public companies inevitably and knowingly lay themselves open to close scrutiny of their acts and, as in the case of the businessmen and women who manage them, the limits of acceptable criticism are wider in the case of such companies.

Politics for me has been a bit Richard Curtis this past few days.

From the Historical Child abuse accusation, in Four weddings, George The Boor against Bufty.

Then to Love Actually and the realisation "Sam" is now married to Elon Musk's ex-wife who probably in turn told Musk about grooming gangs.

Has anyone asked Rupert Lowe or the Reform party UK what actions he undertook when he became Chairman of Southampton Football club to deal with their historic child abuse? Lowe was there for over a decade.

I've gone back to the Other place, And I find Hypocrisy particularly from the owner.

Campaigning to repeat Enquiries whilst simultaneously being content with a US Secretary Of Education who is far more connected to CSA than anyone he is attacking in British Politics.

I have full empathy for any Pensioners that are afraid of the cost of heating this winter in the UK. But I am MEANS testing my sympathy by a simple question "Did you vote for Thatcher in 1983 and again in 1987?" If you did why don't you "Tell Sid" all about it.

"Elon Musk is supporting a far-right party suspected of extremism by Germany’s own courts & intelligence officials; a party too extreme even for Marine Le Pen; a party filled with people who meet with, defend, & quote Nazis."

Kemi Badenoch at #PMQs: "We had a budget in March this year and tractors were not blockading the streets of Whitehall afterwards."

Here are the tractors blockading the streets of Whitehall in March this year. They were protesting - you really couldn't make this up - Badenoch's trade policies. 😂

This week the House of Commons will vote on the The Terminally Ill Adults (End of Life) Bill introduces by Kim Leadbeater.

I don't envy any MP having to make a choice on this vote, how do you respect a dying persons wishes whilst protecting them from coercion and do all it in law?

In 2022 the Market Value of the Petrochemical industry was $584bn and at COP29 they have settled on $300bn of mitigations, I've seen some sceptics question where the Money comes from?

And petrochemical aren't the only contributing industry, We need a permanent global Carbon levy.

Starship Test Flight 6 is looking good, Amazing work by the team at Space-X.

They may have decided not to catch the booster today but that does not diminish the fact that they managed to launch on time and got the Ship up to suborbital speed.

Weird how Sky News, BBC, ITV etc have previously ignored farmers protests, Isn't it strange how when it threatened the elite's inheritance tax dodges they are now covering it?

I don't dismiss Farmers motivations, I do question our medias.

Explain to me, How as a religious person you plan to stand in front of St Peter and defend an abuser or just not ensuring they were prevented in Life from abusing others?

Surely St Peter is turning to Lucifer and saying "It's another one of these Priests for you."

The UEFA Nations League really is pointless to elite level players adding hundreds of more minutes of gametime into a season that particularly for those contracted to English Premiership Clubs is just too long.

Their reward for being elite is a FIFA club tournament in 2025 and a World Cup in 2026.

Something really bothers me about the exploitation of the Tyson vs Paul Fight.

I think it is symbolic of Boxings failure to develop new global attractions but is that because our media is now so diverse and the sport requires Paywalled media in order to meet revenue expectations?
