I'll never forget Tom Harwood's greatest Twitter hit from September2020:
Tom Harwood: "Weird of you to reply to a tweet of mine professing an all seeing eye on US politics and constitutional affairs off the back of watching one documentary" Jessica Simor (KC and constitutional lawyer): "I'm a constitutional lawyer Tom"

Based on past experience of Musk's predictive capability, I think it's safe to ignore this scaremongering.
Remember this from early Covid era?
Elon Musk Tweets on Mar 19th 2020: "Based on current trends, probably zero new cases in US too by end of April"

You've got to have a heart of stone if you don't feel a smidgen of sympathy for #StephenYaxleyLennon today as he looks forward to being the only fan of #MaccabiTelAviv in the away end at #VillaPark tonight.
He even has the team shirt so he can he easily identified.

This is also a photo of Uganda, in this case the largest city Kampala.
That's a better comparison with New York, but wouldn't suit the racist agenda of the post author

Da Nada.
In lthe UK we have the party that formed the government for 14 years until 2024 that struggles to spell the name of its own country!

Haven't we been here before with US hubris?
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mission...
Banner on the bridge of a US aircraft carrier proclaims "Mission Accomplished" in May 2003 as George W Bush makes a victory speech. He spoke too soon. The US lost 4,500 dead in the aftermath.

Had a guided tour yesterday of the recently restored #Clocktower building at the former John Summers Steelworks at #Shotton, in North #Wales.
The building was the main office of the works until 2009.
The steelworks now operates on a smaller scale as #TataSteel.

Very reminiscent of the arrest of #PatsyStevenson at the protest in 2021 against the murder by police officer Wayne Couzens of #SarahEverard.

It's what Steve Bannon prescribed to keep real stories out of the news: "flood the zone with sh*t".
All this to distract from Trump's disgusting alliance with child sex offender Jeffrey #Epstein.
Birthday greeting allegedly from Donald Trump to Jeffrey Epstein on the occasion of Epstein's 50th birthday on which he writes about their "wonderful secret".

Today is @stephenking.bsky.social 's 75th birthday.
Happy Birthday Stephen.
To celebrate, here's one of my favourite Tweets of all time, before the #MuskRat bought the site.
Stephen King tweets that Coronavirus is not like the plot of "The Stand". SportyBallFan responds with "And how the hell would you know. Did you even read that book?" (Stephen King WROTE the book!)
