Makes a huge difference! Lead acid batteries are a pain in the butt

Nailed it. Total whackadoodle. Also largely responsible for funding JD Vance. And Musk. I genuinely think ‘billionaire’ is a psychiatric disorder based on current evidence

We’re only a couple of weeks away from ‘Trump intelligence’ which would be ironic in so many ways…

IDK. Actual local communities? Seems like a win

Tony Watts @wattsburger.bsky.social · 27/09/2026
Oh. Absolutely. We’re *much* better off when we have political donors than educated voters. Also Peter Thiel is the Aristotle of our times 🤪

It used to be so good with Barry Cassidy (you still had to put up with the likes of Sheridan, but at least they got pulled-up when they fabricated shit)

Billionaire disconnected from the average citizen? Shock? Who’d have thought? (Nobody, if the way people vote is any indication…)

If only anti-social media companies were forced to disclose the locations of their users (backfired massively for Musk when he briefly allowed it) and AI generated content. This is called regulation. This is what responsible governments do

Tony Watts @wattsburger.bsky.social · 27/09/2026
Shock!

It’s more intelligent than him, therefore it is super

Yeah. Quite. Except Laurel and Hardy were (again) mocking this stuff. So tiresome to see this. Kuchner and Witkoff doesn't have the same ring to it as t Laurel and Hardy and they're way worse than just comically incompetent

Effective 2025 federal tax rates paid by these corporations: Alphabet: 8.01% AT&T: 4.6% Meta: 3.57% General Motors: 3.09% Amazon: 1.37% Exxon Mobil: 1.31% Disney: -1.57% CVS Health: -3.88% Income tax rate paid by the typical American: 14.5% This is what a rigged system looks like.

Yeah. The response to the far right fucknuckles is to be inclusive. Because that's what they're not. (Also to point-out that the far right never delivers on anything. And that they invariably lead to more wars..just sayin')

Tony Watts @wattsburger.bsky.social · 24/09/2026
Yeah. Drumpf seem to think that these guys are his friends, and therefore good guys. Epstein was his friend. This guy has no moral compass. None. Zero. Zip.

That would be a genuinely tiresome book...maybe even one that would help people sleep if they know they're not in an airport? So maybe? IDK

Almost like Drumpf knows Putin has some dirt on him. Almost www.bbc.com/news/world-e...

'Rational' assumes these people have any sort of human emotion. I'm not convinced this is the case

I'm using 5G internet on an island in a developing country without a grid connection, 100% solar powered, and it works. My neighbour never had a landline, but has a solar panel and a mobile phone. There is so much of this that most first-world people don't see or understand. Solar is a revolution

Tony Watts @wattsburger.bsky.social · 24/09/2026
Solar! I swear. Solar is a revolution for the developing world. Nobody seems to get this.

IDK. Seems the Soviets are invading Ukraine right now. They're still laughing. I'll give you that

Is Elon Musk a white supremacist? IDK. Did he cut a tiny amount of government funding for people doing good work trying to help people around the world and not billions for his own companies? Oh. Yes. That's exactly what he did. The ketamine helps him sleep at night

Tony Watts @wattsburger.bsky.social · 24/09/2026
Drumpf ignored a court order? Shock!

Also Gotta run. Have to chase off a water buffalo. Sigh

Tony Watts @wattsburger.bsky.social · 24/09/2026
True. But also that there was a resistance to that. Loke Dr Strangelove. Seems there’s less of that now, because the psychopaths are in control of the information space now

Tony Watts @wattsburger.bsky.social · 24/09/2026
That film was so far ahead of its time. Also Peter Sellers. Genius. He’d have done a brilliant Musk. Well missed

Tony Watts @wattsburger.bsky.social · 24/09/2026
Oh shit. Musk *is* Dr Strangelove. That totally makes sense

Tony Watts @wattsburger.bsky.social · 24/09/2026
PS. The Nazis are now buying up the studios that would make these films
020
Tony Watts @wattsburger.bsky.social · 24/09/2026
Sure. But Dr Strangelove was all about mocking that. Also fun that Dr Strangelove had a ‘tic’ that had him doing a Nazi salute…ahem…Musk

Tony Watts @wattsburger.bsky.social · 24/09/2026
True that. But notable psychopaths like Kissinger weren’t in control of the information environment quite like today’s techno fascists

Tony Watts @wattsburger.bsky.social · 24/09/2026
These assholes have murdered hundreds of thousands of people (to save almost nothing). You’ll notice DOGE didn’t cut funding for Musk’s companies, which suck up much more federal dollars than USAID…just saying

Fun thing that we have now passed through the Dracula sucking all our blood (anti)social media phase and are moving on to the Frankenstein’s monster will destroy us one

My off-grid setup started with Chinese panels, European inverter, American charger, and local batteries. It is now all Chinese (and for the same dollar cost 15 years later) 3x more solar power, 2x more electricity inverter power and 2x more battery. It’s a revolution, really

Question: Farage is the (very ugly) face of Brexit which has without question has made Britons poorer. Why does he poll so well? He’s already proved he’s a fraud. I genuinely do not understand

Tony Watts @wattsburger.bsky.social · 24/09/2026
Yeah. Back in the good old days when we could laugh at psychopaths, rather than actually let them run the world

Tony Watts @wattsburger.bsky.social · 24/09/2026
That’s just rude

Now Epstien has gone the tech bros need to step up with pedophilia. Apparently
010
Tony Watts @wattsburger.bsky.social · 24/09/2026
What law did it break? Is there a person held responsible here, or is it just another Section 230 situation indemnifing tech bros from culpability for the damage they cause?

Tony Watts @wattsburger.bsky.social · 24/09/2026
I mean, are we finally at the stage where we realize billionaires aren’t actually human? They don’t seem to have any actual human traits…just sayin’
021
Tony Watts @wattsburger.bsky.social · 24/09/2026
Absolutely insane that an immigrant (to Monaco in this case) rails against immigration. Likewise all of Farage’s billionaire donors. These people are nuts

Tony Watts @wattsburger.bsky.social · 24/09/2026
Bingo. These fucknuckles are going to destroy the internet as we know it. Then again Google hosts most of the phishing/spam emails I get, so IDK can we sick Israel on Silicon Valley? Tell them Hamas is using the tech shitteads as ‘human shields’. Tt’d save the US sending bombs across the world. Win!
001
Tony Watts @wattsburger.bsky.social · 24/09/2026
Hmmm. Starting to think (and I know I’m a bit late to this) that the techno-fascists like Musk, Zuckerberg, Thiel, Anderson etc. need to be reigned-in before we have another world war to defeat fascism. Americans better be voting the right way in November or we’re all doomed

Ben-Gvir's AI-generated ad for a fucking concentration camp is one of the worst things I've ever seen (I admit I've had that thought a lot recently!). If you're still supporting these pricks, or haven't opened your mouth against them, your cowardice/evil has no limit, no red line
Literally an AI ad for a concentration camp, in which Ben-Gvir joyfully starves Palestinian prisoners

Yeah. And by my figuring that acceleration equals about 4.5g. I'd expect a lot of unconscious passengers if they did that!

One (of many) reasons I'd never buy a Tesla.
