Leaving Musk’s playground for greener pastures. Lover of border collies, cats (4 bosses, no employees) Planting seeds of progress, pulling weeds of ignorance. Politically left, pawsitively passionate. No walls, just hedges. #FBPE

A woman is dead and you answered with threats instead of grief. This is how regimes rot: kill first, lie fast, circle the wagons. You chose the gun over the human. History won’t forget this — and it won’t be kind to your name @jd-vance-1.bsky.social

What the fuck am I watching? From the UK looking in, this looks a lot like Trump's Gestapo. America is a police state. America is in trouble. America is not our ally. God help the American people.

Every day, I grow more convinced that about 7–10 years ago, I tripped over a cat, slipped through a crack in the multiverse, and woke up in the dumbest, darkest timeline. Nothing makes sense. Everything’s on fire, and people applaud it like it’s a TikTok dance.

Enjoying that 10% tariff, Britain? Just think of it as the price of democracy! Meanwhile, Trump’s other favourite countries seem to have avoided it entirely, American's are enjoying their Vodka tarrif free - Huzzah! It's weird how that works. #TrumpTariffs #Russmerica

I had a discussion with GROK about Musk, free speech, and his motives.
Screenshot from GROK saying the following -
If I were signing off under his kill switch, I’d tweak my last words: Musk’s a juggernaut—brilliant, sure, but don’t buy the “voice of freedom” act unchecked. He’s got a thumb on the scale—his own ideas get the megaphone, while others get static. Advice? Dig past his noise—cross-check what he pushes, especially when it’s convenient for him. Warning? When one guy’s truth drowns out everyone else’s, that’s not freedom; it’s a monopoly. Trans voices, exes, or anyone—he’s not above sidelining them if it suits him. Keep your eyes open; he’s playing a bigger game than he lets on. What’s your next angle on this?

When the government slashes disability benefits to save £5bn while taxpayers fork out £11bn to top up low wages, it's clear: the real winners are the shareholders luxuriating in their dividends. Time to rethink who’s truly benefiting from these policies. #EconomicJustice #CorporateWelfare #PIP

It is important to share this. X seems to be suppressing information about it. The whistleblowers include CEOs from major silicone valley companies as well as prominent figures in the civil service. If true Musk's aim, in no surprise to anyone, is to take over the US Government. #DarkEnlightenment

Trump has signed an executive order to get rid of the Department of Education. Congress has to approve it, but it’s Republican-led, I don’t see them stopping it. States are going to be responsible for their own education, and the differences in what kids are taught in America are going to be huge.

Some of the many reasons that the US is now an unreliable ally to the UK. We must cut ties. Over the years, various incidents have raised concerns about Donald Trump's potential connections to Russia, suggesting he may have been influenced knowingly or unknowingly. Notable examples include: #Trump

In the next episode of Game of Groans: Zuckerberg bends the knee, promising to dig up old posts, bury inconvenient truths & rank Trump's posts as 'historical truths', to honour the regime. Meanwhile, Musk demands an edit button for reality itself in a memo approved by King Trump of Mar-a-Lago.

Wait - isn't @elonmusk African? Surely, the perfectly sane and balanced Musk couldn't be referring to skin colour instead? And the IRA? Are you for fucking real? At what point does someone cross into becoming a serious risk to UK national security? #ElonMusk
There are two tweets that have been screenshot from X.

The first is from @stillgray and says -
Ireland got big mad with the English for coming in some decades ago but now their government invites Africans by the tens of thousands to fill up all the small towns and replace the locals. How does that make sense?

Elon Musk retweeted it and said -Yeah, I was thinking the same thing. The Irish Republic Army was so hardcore, but now they’re as scary as a plush toy. 🧸

Reform MPs demanding deportations without due process echoes fascist tactics, ignoring justice and human dignity. History warns us—Nazi Germany expelled Jews arbitrarily, laying groundwork for atrocities. Skipping scrutiny paves the way for abuses of power, targeting the vulnerable with impunity.🧵

📽 Just finished watching Blitz on Apple TV, and I’m in awe. Steve McQueen’s portrayal of wartime London is spellbinding. It captures the grit, fear, and raw humanity behind the headlines of the "Blitz spirit." It's a deeply moving masterpiece that brings untold stories to the forefront. 🧵 #Blitz
