Labour, Tories, Lib Dems and Greens: I demand you stand down in Clacton. I will be a unity candidate and pledge to build at least one affordable house.
Nigel Farage says he wants The People versus the Establishment. So be it.
Leave him to me.

Great job NASA! Exciting to finally be headed back to the moon.
We're going around the Moon. Come watch with us. Artemis II's four-astronaut crew is lifting off from @NASAKennedy on an approximately 10-day mission that will bring us closer to living on the Moon and Mars. The launch window opens at 6:24pm ET (2224 UTC). xitter.cf/i/broadcasts/1jxXgeyMk…

For the record, the president of the United States is now simultaneously claiming that he has won the war, is currently winning the war, needs help to win the war, and needs no help to win the war. All to destroy the nuclear program he claims to have already destroyed last year.

Remember that I predicted a long time ago that President Obama will attack Iran because of his inability to negotiate properly-not skilled!

It is possible to believe two things at once: That the long-suffering people of Iran deserve freedom from their despotic leaders, and that a bombing campaign by the current highly corrupt authoritarian government of America is unlikely to bring it.

Twitter is starting to feel like:
* 5 real people
* 125 paid influencers posting slop
* 200 crypto bros saying "gm"
* 2M AI reply guys
* and Elon forcing his way into your feed
Truly remarkable quality fumble by Moonboi and company.

The Minneapolis Police Dept is now outnumbered and outgunned 3:1 by an out of state white supremacist gang with military grade weapons.
That's how we need to think and talk about this.

If a car is driving toward you and you fear for your life, on no account attempt to step back out of its path.
Stand your ground and shoot the driver in the head. This will make the car stop in its tracks and not career out of control into whatever is in front of it.

If you’re spending $1B to renovate a flying palace, this was never about “cutting costs.”
If your tariffs are making life much more expensive, this was never about “lowering prices.”
If you’re putting Charlie Kirk on Fox, this was never about “bias in media.”
If you’re arresting teenagers at their asylum hearings, this was never about “gang members.”
And if you’re making immunity deals with a pedophile, this was never about “protecting kids.”
This was never about any of that. It was always, and only, about Trump.

We should celebrate hacking, not cheating. Cheating quietly pockets extra Monopoly money (insider trading, plagiarism, inflated metrics). Hacking openly flips the game board, exposing rigged rules and inventing a better game for everyone: Wikipedia replaced Britannica, Airbnb monetized spare rooms, Linux openly challenged Windows.
Both break the rules, but hacking doesn’t compromise integrity. it reveals the old game wasn’t worth playing.

Remember that part in #Andor when all those reporters on Ghorman made it sound like the Ghormans were violent and the Empire HAD to send in soldiers to stop things from getting out of hand but in reality the soldiers WANTED things to get out of hand?
Yea, that was crazy huh?
