It surprises me that governments like that of the UK, which Musk is openly attempting to topple, continue to use Twitter/X for official comms.
It surprises me that Musk’s arrogant, autocratic, incompetent, mistake-prone, drug-addled, and deadly reign at DOGE is not mentioned. Nor does it discuss his Nazi salute, support for far-right political causes, and turning Twitter into a purveyor of lies and hate.

This morning at the Remembrance Sunday service at our parish church, I read Wilfred Owen's Dulce Et Decorum Est.
It is an excoriatingly angry poem and I delivered it as such.
If what war does to human beings, especially the young, does not make you incandescently angry there is something wrong.
