And let’s put yesterday’s horrendous train stabbing spree in context

And The US murder rate is eight times ours.

So Musk should turn his attention inwards and stop trying to agitate for more violence and more Tommy Robinson here.

In Great Britain, there are about 1.7 billion passenger rail journeys each year without serious incident (about 150 million a month). It's worth keeping perspective as news media discuss banning knives on trains or installing scanners at stations.

🇺🇦🇷🇺🇺🇸Trump: That was Joe Biden’s war. And he brought printouts to his 60 Minutes interview of the "wars" he's "ended"

This isn’t Joe Biden’s or Zelenskyy’s war. We never hear from him, but this is Putin’s war — Russia’s war against Ukraine.

Quoting ourselves here, but it’s absolutely insane to us that anyone still uses Twitter. You don't have to. You can just stop. It was a *massive* part of our growth but you can just let it go. However important your business is to you, it's less important than this:

Elon Musk, "These lovely small towns in England, Scotland and Ireland, they've been living their lives quietly. They're like hobbits"

"And so one day, 1,000 people show up in your village of 500 and start raping the kids"

"This has now happened, God knows how many times in Britain"

I don't know how to tell them but the en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gunpowder has a plausible recipe for black powder.

I'm guessing there is more to this.

When someone says, ‘But they’re the same,’ you can literally hit them with these tweets to show the difference. Ukrainians have NOTHING in common with russians.

Hey Fedora/Eclipse/Temurin/Adoptium/Whoever if you change the path to an installed jdk it would be really nice if you also change the "alternatives" that point to that jdk version. Not nice doing an update that didn't *remove* java to discover that it could no longer works.
