My pinned Twitter post was something like:

Keyser Söze: The greatest trick the Devil ever pulled was convincing the world he didn't exist.

Me: The greatest trick billionaire media barons ever pulled was convincing their readers that their interests were aligned.

It's a shame nothing's changed.
I suppose that runs on railway quack.
I have a similar happy place. (Old photo, possibly from 2012.)

Sock to create darkground effect.
FIFY: “… mine and my ex-missus’ entire relationship…”
This is disturbing.

No matter what safeguards might be built into this system, all it takes is an authoritarian government and the safeguards can be rolled back.

We’re in danger of falling into Chinese-style state surveillance.
🚨LIVE FACIAL RECOGNITION IS EXPANDING

The Home Office told us they’d consider a legal framework to govern it’s use.

But what we’re seeing is a rapid rollout - and no safeguards to protect us.

It’s not that good; any political principle is ephemeral, lasting only until it’s no longer expedient.

The exception is the cling to power principle.
It’s not just the The Times.

The Telegraph used to be a proper newspaper, despite its politics, with an excellent page two summary of the day’s news.

It’s now just deranged.
I hope it was Rees-Mogg’s trusted economist, one of the brains behind Britannia Unchained.

Patrick Minford, is it you? Have you changed your mind?
Talk about justifying his criticism.
Did you ever see the late comedienne Janey Godley's welcome messages to Trump?

The first was around 2016 but she didn't let up until she died.

She laughed loudest.
His essay “A Hanging” is one of the finest things I’ve read.

We take no joy criticising a young left-wing UK political figure who has often spoken up for workers' rights and progressive causes. But these barely coherent comments from Zarah Sultana on Ukraine sum up much of what is wrong with her wing of the left www.instagram.com/reel/DQT62ys...

There's a certain magnificence in the deranged hyperbole.

It's reminiscent of the Daily Mail's recent rant about Zak Polanski.
“Under review”

An IDF expression that means “Our people have been exonerated because they did absolutely nothing wrong.”
A bolide in Moscow airspace?

There’ll be an air defence chief falling out of a high window any day now.
I get confused.

There are places without a white face to be seen, yet an ad with black or brown person is not representative.

Perhaps I’m just mixing up my racists.

🚨The IPP scandal is one of the most cruel, monumental and shocking injustices of the past half century. If you are not yet familiar with it watch this jaw dropping update.

PM Keir Starmer now has an opportunity to take the politics out of it and end this injustice.

Trying very hard to give Labour the benefit of the doubt.

Perhaps the required “clarity” is necessary to mitigate the risk that something is condemned that’s not in the plans, which would allow the Tories and press to claim Labour’s scaremongering.

Perhaps.
Fcuk me.

The right’s descent into utter derangement continues unchecked.
Are the right ok?

This is next level of "journalistic* " slop.

The biggest disappointment is the over-perfumed stench that wafts up from the open bottle.

Funders of Trump's $300M ballroom and East Wing destruction include:

-Amazon
-Apple
-Coinbase
-Lockheed Martin
-Google
-Meta
-Microsoft
-Palantir
-Tobacco companies
-The Adelson family

Don't forget — they're not just buying a ballroom. They're buying Trump's favor.
Wait - what??

There are academic requirements to serve?

That’s something I never expected.
Clever, lawyered statement; you don't specify the size of the cats.
Please don't post fake quotes.

It doesn't reflect well on anybody.
