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 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…’

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."

Important read

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. donmoynihan.substack.com/p/doge-dange...

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

This conflict doesn’t get the attention it deserves. Everyone’s obsessed with Taiwan. China won’t take Taiwan without attacking Philippines first.

Reuters@reuters.com

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.

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…

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.

You are up to date.
