To show that he is back.

Don’t Look Up - a potential catastrophic disaster is identified but the public pays little attention. A billionaire social media CEO gets involved with undue influence over the U.S. President & they see an opportunity to obtain some rare earth minerals from the situation.
Work of fiction, of course

Zia Yusuf on #bbcqt says that Nigel Farage is offering massive tax cuts and no Prime Minister has offered that before.
Two words.

While I do not support fare-dodging, I wonder how many fare-dodges would have to be prevented to save as much money as the £45 million tax on a housing development that @robertjenrickmp.bsky.social helped a Tory donor to avoid? #theguardian

About 300,000 deaths attributed to Musk’s cuts so far …
Musk should be asked about this in every interview he does now and forever. To ignore it is a dereliction of duty.

After they “move fast and break things”, occasionally they belatedly try to piece some of the broken bits together again. Then, in the shambles, they speak as if they are in some fantasy where they have repaired the situation.

This isn’t even thoughtcrime. It’s ‘potential-future-thought’- crime.
Sec. of State Marco Rubio has written in a memo that Mahmoud Khalil is subject to deportation because “the alien's past, current, or expected beliefs” have “potentially serious adverse foreign policy consequences for the United States.”
His position is potential thoughts are grounds for deportation
