A priceless study of a blatant gaslighting story by #trump and #musk falling to pieces. Would smirk if the human consequences of the actions of these horrible people were not so severe for #ukrainians. Now I am just again so mad that these evil assholes hold so much power over the fate of Ukraine.

The US government is now asking Elon Musk to restore the access they say was never removed, Elon says was shut down by the US government, and both briefly tried to pretend was down due to a technical glitch, in between darkly hinting Ukrainians deserve to die for being stubborn or ungrateful.

You’ve got to assume that Labour have imbibed the idea that a significant part of their own potential voter base is violent fascists and their outriders, and they‘re desperate not to piss them off

Jonn Elledge@jonnelledge.bsky.social

I simply do not understand what's going on in Labour that renders its leaders incapable of finding a TV camera and speaking out against street violence. Even if you assume they agree about immigration, violence is wrong, unpopular AND against the interests of any even vaguely left wing govt.

There is a progressive argument against charity in general and vain philanthropy in particular, but I doubt it’s occurred to this overgrown sperm cell.

Bo Thompson@gaudipern.bsky.social

It's not until he says the magic words, that he fears losing control, that it fully clicks. It's not that he believes philanthropy is bad, it's that the risk of someone receiving his money who he doesn't approve of is a bigger problem than the risk that his money helps no one. That speaks volumes.
