Israel is preventing the WHO from sending incubators into Gaza. Think about how savage, how barbaric, how evil, you have to be to defend that and defend the government doing that.

He isn't a genius. He has just bought companies and other people's know-how and marketed them well. The one company he bought and changed/managed by himself (twitter) with his own ideas he hobbled.....

The headline could easily point out that although 14% do not want elections but 74% do and 12% don't know. I guess the Tortoise want to make #TheGuardian a bit more click baity. www.theguardian.com/politics/2025/jan/12/one-in-five-britons-aged-18-45-prefer-unelected-leaders-to-democracy-poll-finds

Are you paying too much rent (in #London)? Meet Octopium Landlordicuss aka the "common London landlord". This "fishy creature", as this 1925 postcard argues, "lives on rent". Advice against #landlordism: "people must destroy IT ... or be destroyed". #skystorians
A political postcard from 1925 is shown titled Octopium Landlordicuss. The print comments on the social effects caused by private ownership of land and property in London and Westminster.

The protestors want to call it "the tractor tax" because calling it "the inheritance tax protest" would turn off public opinion. The tractors coming into London today, in fact, pay no road tax, no congestion charge, and no ULEZ. Exempt from all.

Also, part of the reason we did bought InfoWars is because people on Bluesky told us it would be funny to buy InfoWars. And those people were right. This is the funniest thing that has ever happened.
