so restricting Ukraine's Starlink was Musk's idea, but after Moscow took advantage he became "alarmed about the possibility of adverse consumer reaction in Europe" to the "night of carnage" and denied responsibility I mean, it sounds like typical Elon

This is not beautiful to see. This is the most racist democracy on planet earth, and people just expect Black people to sing negro spirituals and "overcome." It's not working. This still happens for one reason and one reason only: white US folk don't hold each other accountable for this racism.

When people tell you Twitter is now just a friendly place to hang out with friends. “It’s been fixed.”

The online campaign to unmask Jane Doe began with pleas on X.
"Please help me discover the Cornell girl," Aidan Thompson, a 23-year-old man who regularly praises Hitler and disparages women on the social media platform, wrote in one of the first posts. "I have a good lead, but I need your help."

Ireland’s performance on #climate mitigation is the worst in Europe and will still be the worst in 2030. In this infographic that’s measured by the size of the gap between the left of the green bar graph (cuts achieved) and the blue dot (2030 goal).

Such a tell. If it were a popular initiative, he would claim credit even if it wasn’t him. Since it’s a landmine, he would blame whomever did it if it wasn’t him. Since it’s unpopular and he did it, he says he doesn’t know whom to blame.

Here, by the way, is what @pkrugman.bsky.social wrote about @patrickhealynyt.bsky.social, who drove him away from the NYT by killing his newsletter and trying to rewrite crucial passages: www.cjr.org/analysis/pau...

“I approached Mondays and Thursdays with dread,” Krugman continued, “and often spent the afternoon in a rage. Patrick often—not always—rewrote crucial passages; I would then do a rewrite of his rewrite to restore the original sense, and felt that I was putting more work—certainly more emotional energy—into repairing the damage from his editing than I put into writing the original draft. It’s true that nothing was published without my approval; but the back-and-forth, to my eye, both made my life hell and left the columns flat and colorless.”
