Laser focused on reducing prices for everyday Americans from Day One, the President has struck a deal that will lower the price of Rolls Royces, Bentleys, Jaguars, Aston Martin's, Range Rovers, and Minis.
*No other consumer good received carveouts.
This constant live commentary with gross details on the Popes health is …a bit much.
Why don’t they just put a camera inside of him and stream it on TikTok…
This guy was once banned from Twitter by Musk for posting child exploitation photos.
He spread the crazy conspiracy that Hillary Clinton & Huma Abedin raped/abused little girls & used their skin as masks.
Now he’s invited to the Trump White House. No words. You can’t even do an ‘Imagine if Biden…’
Australia’s government will ban foreign investors from buying established houses for the next two years as part of an election pitch to tackle surging home prices.
elon pulls down on atlas shrugged: the bookcase slides open revealing a vault door with a keypad. he enters 4-20-69: the door unlocks and silently swings open. he steps inside and views rows upon rows of numbered test tubes, each filled with a milky fluid. “soon, my children,” he murmurs. “soon."

well this is fucked: i was just looking on youtube for a version of the musk nazi salute and came across this version from nbc chicago that edited it out.
New, from me: as the Trump administration begins, I try to make sense of what, exactly, DOGE is.
Journalists and policymakers should be skeptical of its claim to be a govt reform commission, and more willing to see it as a form of oligarchic state capture.

In all seriousness: the last 2 weeks of TikTok posturing and Zuck grovelling, combined with the X insanity of the last year, should show you that an app with a feed that you don’t control serves *other people’s interests* - not yours.
my favourite game to play in the supermarket is called "big night in?" and involves trying to find the person in the supermarket it would be funniest to say "big night in?" to given the contents of their basket
most recent winner: a woman with two kiwis and some surgical gloves
The Philippines accused China of intimidating its fishermen at a disputed South China Sea shoal, and normalizing an ‘illegal presence,’ after Beijing sent its largest coast guard vessel into Manila's maritime zone reut.rs/3Wk9adH
Cannot stop thinking about how Octavia Butler wrote a book in 1993 about climate change. It opens with deadly fires in LA in 2025. In the story, a fascist President has just won office with the campaign slogan "Make America Great Again."
She was a modern day Nostradamus. If only we'd listened.
Also, I’ll say it first, Nosferatu was ridiculous, lame. The randomised 18th c Europe, stage like performances, silly language, costume design, zero drama, plot twist totally not a twist. Mask, FX makers and set designers were on point tho. But yeh was not captured at all.
Just went on X in a very long time.
Didn’t take long until a video of the New Orleans massacre was in my feed with victim bodies twisted and torn. Images you’ll never unsee.
X is literally a keyhole view into hell.
5 dead, 400 arrests, many more in hospital. All self inflicted.
You would think the sensible Germans might confess they have bit of an issue with fireworks …🤦🏻♂️

The final US Presidential vote count is out (yes, I know, rest of the world!). According to Cook Political Report analysis, the election was decided by just 229,766 votes across MI, PA and WI out of about 155.2 million cast nationally.
Omg…been off x for 2 weeks.. just had a peep to see Musks rampages…Gregg Wallace defences, Russian gov cracking down gays, haters hating Māori dances, hating solar panels, pre-hating Starmer speeches…
It is literally all just hate.
Like looking into a brain of a psychotic person…
Its difficult if you expect to get on a human level with Angela Merkel in a 30min interview…
But that Bratkartoffeln / indulgence question was just awkwardly silly BBC News 🤦🏻♂️
I don’t understand.
Bluesky is similar to how Twitter use to be.
Why isn’t it just like exactly like Twitter?
X different to how Twitter use to be. Shittier. So there’s a gap to fill.
Trump’s vote share is now at 49.9% with some votes still being counted. Looks like his margin over Harris will be around 1.5%- the third smallest winning margin since 1888.
Trump’s win was solid in the popular vote and electoral college. But it was not a landslide and it was not overwhelming.
