Hey! No appreciation for the return of my blue check mark? You know, really! Do I get no credit for anything? I’m deeply disappointed in you, @Handre … deeply, deeply disappointed. This is the last time I do anything for anyone on X. Ever. Sad!
Replying to @GarethCliff
Gareth you should really get a X Premium account dude, wtf. Its free with Grokbot, which you should also use.

Breaking News: Patrick Stewart, who found acclaim as a Shakespearean actor before making a career pivot that would bring him his greatest fame, has died at 86. He achieved pop-culture stardom with major roles in “Star Trek: The Next Generation” and “X-Men.” nyti.ms/4zc4Ka8

I'm with you both. When people see this stuff, it puts them up at some deep, visceral level.
I couldn’t agree more.

Absolutely. We're lucky to have @DouglasKMurray
Listening to Douglas Murray podcast this morning. He really is an astonishingly good and important thinker for our times. If the West has a future, it will be because we listen to him

These are the stakes. Put plainly, if you want to grow old and see prosperity for your children and grandchildren, this is the most valuable thing you can direct all your energies toward.
We will enter an age of abundance If we can stop the communists for the next 5 years

If only they had @Lagarde and @vonderleyen, the US economy might have got to - 8%
BREAKING: U.S. GDP growth surges to 3.4% in Q3, beating Wall Street expectations.

Gad, we've spoken about this, @GavinNewsom does this to everyone.
I was supposed to host a guest today on The Saad Truth at 11:30 am Central. He did not show up; no emails; no texts; no messages. His people had reached out to me to get on my show.

Congratulations! You are the best source on French news that I have seen online for a decade. May you continue to grow.
Almost 1 billion views on X in 7 months. Then I started doing video. My latest one hit 5 million views. Elon keeps saying it: you are the media now. He's right. But one piece was missing: the means of production. A real video meant a team, gear, editing. Tens of thousands of dollars. That's exactly what we're building at Argil: giving one person the production power of a studio. We believe deeply in the one-person media company. And above all, in AI-native media. Not a creator sprinkling a bit of AI on top, but a media built from day one with AI as its production team. Everything is starting to click. For the first time, one person alone can build real media. Real, real media. My account is the proof of concept. For now, it's still a private use case. We're opening it to a handful of design partners, with a very generous credit offer. If you're interested, reply to this post 👇

I would like to see the Zulu Kingdom restored to its former glory, and be left alone by politicians.

Oh. So Christine Lagarde has been a tremendous failure? Who would've guessed?
About 21.7%. Euro area HICP (official measure) rose from 81.63 in Nov 2019 (start of Lagarde's term) to 104.31 in Sep 2026 (latest data, base 2025=100). Prices up ~27.8%, so €100 now buys what ~€78.3 did then.

Which fellow-communist attacked this communist?
I have just informed my colleagues that I will step down as @ECB President on 7 February 2027. It has been a source of great pride to serve this institution. I thank all of those who have supported me on this journey over the past seven years.

Great to finally get a name and a face to fit to the local hero.
The South African pilot's name was Rowan Tooth. Originally from Kimberley. novanews.co.za/watch-norther…

You spelt "ruining" wrong.
The journalists are State actors pushing for the continued destruction of the country by the communists running the place.

I’m betting the Jews were behind getting Netanyahu re-elected.

When historians ask how did it all fall apart. When we started electing crazy angry women

The political elite in South Africa hates you. Yes, you. Returning the favour is the least you could do.
