On R4’s Today the excellent @ciaranm.bsky.social took apart Musk’s claim Ukraine was behind a cyberattack that took down “X”. Also said it was shocking that a major online business could be vulnerable to something as crude as a Ddos. At least he has no access to sensitive government data - oh wait

I hear Nigel Farage is declining interview requests. First time for everything, I suppose. I suspect he’ll eventually speak to whoever is least likely to challenge him properly.

He ended up ashore in Southampton as he claimed "no one wished to sail with him after these disasters."
There, he died of pneumonia.

Well, this is fucking chilling, isn’t it?
Trump carefully posited as a hero that will “save the day” and return a freedom that should never have been taken away in the first place. Despite the fact that he first called for the ban in 2020.
Very North Korea.

It's disgusting. It's gaslighting. It's scamming & cheating.
He's like a drug dealer who steals your stash and then helps you look for it.

3 things about this message that greeted millions of Americans on TikTok today:
1) the shamelessness of Trump who just U-turned on his opposition to TikTok.
2) the shamelessness of these tech companies, sucking up to Trump.
3) the fecklessness of Biden who gave Trump this win.
