@engineerlondon.bsky.social hey, I'm sorry if I asked this before but what's up with the rumor that the T-tower line to Hinkley "sings" at unpleasant frequencies in windy conditions? Just saw a similar-looking design in a video about California, and it made me remember.

Reminds me of plot twist in the latest season of Slow Horses…
One of the big Neo-Confederate MAGA accounts who claimed to be "colonial American heritage stock of 1690"

...turned out to be a Turk.

It makes a loot of sense.

The right wing grifter "voice" is easy to replicate and requires no credentials or skills beyond time, shamelessness, and cruelty.

Twitter payouts for a modestly successful account aren't enough to live off in California, but will feed a family of four in Rajasthan.
I see a lot of Paidchecks on X didn’t realize that a whole lot of people on social media lie about their location to grift off the naïveté of the rage-addled American right.

Turns out this problem is real and it’s a thing those of us who worked on “disinformation” pointed out.

A lot of the quote-replies seem to be based on negging from previous senior figures which only reminded me of this meme:

I would think it a devious plan to finally place a Conference League cup in their trophy cabinet, if not for LFC's trademark ability to unexpectedly lose to lower-tier opponents in secondary tournaments. www.nytimes.com/athletic/679...
Liverpool’s standards have plummeted and pitiful away form is among an array of issues
The last time Liverpool lost four successive away Premier League matches was in April 2012. It leaves the defence of their crown in tatters

We need to do ultra-masculine fascism, like in J.R.R Tolkien's famous book, "Lord of the here's why Ultra-Masculine Fascism is evil, stupid and self defeating. Under no circumstances do it you fucking clowns."

Paging staff, we have a Charap situation in aisle 3, I repeat, Charap in aisle 3.
These are all persuasive arguments but is it clear that everyone in Donetsk and Crimea wants to be part of Ukraine? If there is land for peace, are you suggesting there will be an insurgency by opponents of Putin in those two areas? What evidence is there of that?

🇪🇺 keeps waiting for invasion, meanwhile, 🇷🇺 is already inside the house.
Not with conventional forces, but with: influence operations poisoning civil discourse, targeted assassinations, strategic corruption subverting politics, lawfare stalling 🇪🇺’s collective defense

Moscow can't beat the West on the battlefield. So it's waging a different kind of war.
