I don’t think “Reform and the Greens are the same actually” is ever going to fly. Voters aren’t fools.
Farage and Polanski have something in common. They are both wrong about Britain.

I've never seen fear of the other stated so clearly than I have seen it in Kemi Badenoch. It's more than I've seen in Patel or Braverman, even Farage. The way she leans into the staple untruths that uphold white supremacy is breathtaking

On Facebook, this advert for Meta’s stalking hardware features an X at the top right, commonly understood to mean “close this”, that simply does nothing at all.

My mum’s fallen down the stairs and fractured both her hips but I can’t visit her in hospital because they’ve put her in a corridor and there’s simply no room

interesting choice to project "LET THEM BE KIDS" onto the Sydney Harbour Bridge as part of the celebrations of the teen social media ban
It's not a line that came from Albanese or the government — it's the name of News Corp's campaign for the ban.

Logged into X for the first time for months, to finish the job of deleting everything I’d ever posted, and holy hell that place is nuts. Literally another dimension.

This is the thing. If *everyone* serious leaves X - governments, media, NGOs, whatever - then it becomes possible to dismiss *all* X content as the equivalent of 4Chan
Pretty crazy that nearly all of the EU Commission is still on X even as Elon Musk is literally talking about destroying the EU.
You can leave X. It's really not that difficult.

So what's the outcome?
2️⃣5️⃣ of the 27 Commissioners have posted in the last week
2️⃣4️⃣ of the 27 generally post every week (Albuquerque has never been on X, Ribera is sporadic, McGrath has somehow stopped)
0️⃣ have stopped as a result of what Twitter has become since the Musk takeover

A lot of people posting mansions that they’re going to buy with tomorrow’s Euromillions win are going to be very disappointed when I win it.

Scam ads on Meta in UK likely worth more than all online news advertising. Meta probably made more than £600m from fraudulent UK advertising in 2024 pressgazette.co.uk/platforms/sc...

Trump in a room with a very charismatic person results in like half a day of Trump agreeing with everything that person said, so this has the potential to be very, very funny.

One guy got locked up in immigration detention without his medication. He went blind. Lost all his vision. He wasn’t deported. They threw him out of detention for being blind and made him homeless
