Elon Musk didn’t create Tesla. He bought it. He didn’t create X. He bought Twitter and ruined it. He didn’t invent the rockets, propulsion systems or telemetry of SpaceX. He used NASA tech and poached their engineers. He’s a venture capitalist and a college dropout. That’s it.

Webb also allowed Tice to spout nonsense about anxiety and even chuckled in agreement at one point. Nobody gets PIP for feeling anxious because they lost their notes or lost their car keys. Clinical anxiety is a very different thing and can wreck people's lives. #r4today

#BBCNews abandoned Burnham's Downing Street speech on rough sleeping to cover the sentencing of an American singer, Chris Brown. BBC's priorities and news judgments are shot to pieces. @BBCNews @newswatchbbc

It's a good job Suella Braverman claimed £45,000 for water bills on her parliamentary expenses. If she had failed to declare a ten quid overpayment on Universal Credit, she'd have been in serious trouble then.

Jeremy Hunt, who forgot he and his wife bought seven luxury waterfront flats in Southampton, says we can't afford disability benefits. 🤡
end stages of a concerted campaign to delegitimise depression & anxiety as mental illnesses

You know what really winds me up? Insurance companies who auto-renew, despite being told repeatedly that auto-renewal is not wanted. Then the joy of having to fart arse around cancelling something I didn't want, and getting the run around. I loathe insurance companies. 😠

What time can we expect the arrest of Boris Johnson & Matt Hancock for the negligent homicide of THOUSANDS of our elderly relatives, when they sent infected patients into care homes and then went on TV to brag about their protective ring bullshit. Do we still arrest murderers?

Everyone needs to know what actually happened in Serbia. Instead of students just protest against their government, the students organized themselves into a student list and ran in elections against their government—and they have just won. Dear Serbia, congratulations on your victory; you have just opened a new door in protesting. This is history

A brilliant victory for Lula! 🇧🇷✊🌹 A victory for social progress and for everyone who believes in a better world! A victory for the environment and saving the Amazon. And a victory that shows Trump and the far-right can be stopped in their tracks!

Lula versus Bolsonaro: Passei 1.901 dias em confinamento solitário por revelar a verdade sobre os assassinatos e a espionagem do governo dos EUA, inclusive contra o Brasil e suas indústrias. Lula, fora do poder, lutou pela minha liberdade. Lula, no poder, discutiu minha perseguição com o papa Francisco, que decidiu se encontrar com minha família e ajudar. Depois da minha libertação, Lula e eu nos encontramos em Roma para lamentar a morte do Santo Padre. Lula foi gentil com meus filhos e não pediu nada em troca. Em contraste, Jair e Flávio Bolsonaro nada fizeram e nada disseram. Sem a capacidade de dizer não a Washington e a Tel Aviv, não pode haver política interna, apenas ordens estrangeiras. Essas instruções são sempre as mesmas: “Ampliem nosso roubo de recursos e salários e calem a boca sobre nós assassinarmos crianças”. Os entreguistas entregarão tudo em troca de uma fatia, até a própria língua.

This lingering flu/multiple infections is finally leaving the building. This means boings must be done. I am in zero mood to boing. But I will, anyway, because my body needs it and must be obeyed. 🫠

A lot of "mental health issues" disappear when bills are paid, rent is secure, and the fridge is full. Peace is expensive. And pretending money doesn't affect mental health is privilege.

I view Boris JOHNSON as a criminal. He knew what he was doing and did it gleefully. He should have been locked up by now. This is what is wrong with this country. A fascist, sociopathic and psychopathic RULING ELITE who don't think the rules apply to them.

#BorisJohnson really ought to be arrested, and urgently so since he intends to decamp to his native United States to avoid his accountability for his mass manslaughter in the #CareHomes. The Minister directly responsible for those was the now ubiquitous #HelenWhatley, who is herself planning to use the benefits system to commit homicide on a similarly industrial scale. davidaslindsay.blogspot.com/…

It's possible that in the span of one week, Bolsonaro loses in Brazil, Netanyahu loses in Israel, and Republicans lose the house and senate. Here's hoping fascism loses everywhere.

That pie turned out fine. It took forever to bake, but it was lush. Looks like I'll be eating pie for my supper all week, though, which is not a hardship. 😋
