Why are Bezos, Zuckerberg, Musk, Pichai and Tim Cook visiting and giving money to Trump ?

Because they are in “The Race “ to become the dominant platform in the world.

Amazon/Anthropic vs FB/LLama vs Google/Gemini vs Twitter/Grok, vs IPhones/ChatGpt is the penultimate global power war ever.

From cozying up to dictators like Putin to switching positions and parties as soon as it's politically advantageous, the only quality of Tulsi Gabbard's you can rely on is her selfish thirst for power. That makes her a very dangerous pick to lead our national intelligence.

Nigel Farage's biggest backer, the secretive Thailand-based "businessman" Christopher Harborne, aka Chakrit Sakunkrit, tried to disguise the origin of his donation. Which would have been illegal.

Financial funny business? Farage? Surely not?

This is very good. I find it terrifying that someone can be as openly racist as Murray and still be feted by supposedly mainstream pundits and publications.

People are leaving Twitter because it’s not fun anymore and no one is obligated to be on a platform they don’t enjoy.

It’s not rocket science.

It’s so nice to be at the stage of a lifetime of a platform when everyone mostly agrees the people running it are working hard and doing a good job. Let’s enjoy that while we can!

Sadly, even on Bluesky, misinformation checking is vital.
❌ So we've got retro misinfo on Bluesky.

This is an altered image of a flooded car with an anti-Greta Thunberg sticker. The real image didn't have a sticker on the back.

It was debunked back in 2021 by fact-checkers including Misbar: misbar.com/en/factcheck...

Here’s a short story about who wins and loses from the status quo of our inheritance tax rules - and about, what you might politely call ‘sub-optimal’ journalism🧵

this is a good article…
I’ve been reluctant to start a Substack, because I like being commissioned, I like being edited, and I especially like to be paid.

But I couldn’t face hawking this one around to weary editors, for reasons that you may understand if you read it.

Excellent thread about Scamming on this app.
We have a live example of why they're called "pig-butchering" scammers! They're called that because they use the whole pig, ie, they don't just take a little money from their victims, they slaughter them and use them all. I'm gonna be slow on this thread because I'm doing exhaustive alt text, but:
