The BBC is fucked.
I wish I didn’t have to share this. But the BBC has decided to censor my first Reith Lecture.
They deleted the line in which I describe Donald Trump as “the most openly corrupt president in American history.” /1

These of course are the sorts of account that get boosted under Musk’s X. If you’re still on the platform for engagement, you are a mug.
X rolled out a new feature overnight showing where accounts are based. This network of “Trump-supporting independent women” that claimed to be “real Americans” are based in Thailand.
The photos were stolen from European models & posts pushed pro-Trump lines while targeting Islam and LGBTQ people.

I think if 24 people are dead it's more than "testing" a ceasefire.
BREAKING: At least 24 people are dead and 54 wounded after Israeli airstrikes in Gaza, testing the ceasefire that began in October, officials say.

I love the Kool Keith discography. For every Black Elvis/ Lost in Space or Dr Octagon, there's always an album with the worst artwork you've ever seen, with absolutely zero digital footprint, called Spankmaster.

A subtle one that's easy to miss, but the fact that Andreesen and Musk both use "alpha" as slang for "information advantage" is a clear tell that their mental world is finance, not technology. They try to talk otherwise but they are investors not inventors.
