Lovely, but a mess
Pinned
I just watched Rogue One, then went on Twitter to see the fallout from Elon’s hint about removing the Block feature.
It’s like I'm still in the evac scene. Tense levels of distribution of codes to ensure the Trans-Twitter rebels’ safety before its destruction!
Rebellions are built on hope.

"Ho ho ho remember when we thought Bush was as bad as it got hehehe" narrative always ALWAYS ignores the fact: it's because they were as bad as it was allowed to get THEN. That's how bad they could be at that point and they paved the way for it to be the way it is now. Same as in the UK.

This war and extra-judicial kidnapping is patently illegal and unconstitutional. Political leaders on both sides must condemn it. It’s not about whether Maduro is a tyrant but whether the US is still governed by laws and the Constitution. As if this morning, we are clearly not.

There is, to my mind, no justification for the continued use by the UK Government of X as a platform for official comms. There hasn't been for some time, in fact, but if the latest developments around AI-generated image abuse and CSAM don't change the policy I really don't know what will.
NEW: People are using Elon Musk's chatbot, Grok, to alter images to depict real women being sexually abused, humiliated, hurt, and even killed.

Fun as it is to see Peston stating outright what the situation is, here’s what’s going to happen: government and press will brazen this out with drivel until it drops out of the headlines, then everyone will get right back on their previous bullshit. This is what they always do, without fail.

I chaired a briefing for politicians where we brought trans legal experts into Parliament to explain the ruling, and what might be needed from them in response.

I mean look at these graphs - 82% of 2024 Green voters disapprove of Starmer, 64% of LDs and 53% of the Labour voters *who explicitly voted for him less than two years ago.* That is not normal. I suspect it may be unprecedented.

With all this talk of how to end Russias war against Ukraine, and a cease fire, keep this in mind:
If Ukraine ceases firing, Ukraine will cease to exist.
If Russia ceases firing. the war will cease to exist.

Whataboutery.
Project 2025 was published. Jan 6th had happened. He’d said that there’ll be no more elections if he won, amongst other things that he’s done. Not to mention his behaviour regarding Gaza.
It was a two-horse race. If you abstain, you know you aren't just taking your vote from her.
