Ok. I am SO SO SO disgusted by Elon Musk that I have finally deleted my Twatter account.
I know- I should have done it earlier, but I did like what it used to be and there are still accounts that I liked that I can't find here.
Anyway, it's done.

Russia's fuel crisis has gotten so bad that Putin finally had to admit publicly what is happening.

There is absolutely zero chance that a man who took $50,000 in cash in a paper bag from an FBI agent on camera would have been appointed to any position by any other president.

Oh, and it was the British navy that captured the WWII German Enigma machine and a British mathematician (Alan Turing) who broke the code.

Ukraine has successfully struck another Russian oil refinery in Bashkortostan. Russia lost another military jet and helicopter. Russia is now again striking Ukraine's hydroelectric power plants and Zelensky has promised that Ukraine will have to respond.

Oh, I see - AMERICAN LAW is ambiguous.

But international law isn’t. What your country is doing is illegal

It’s called “extrajudicial killing” and is an act of murder outside of a declared state of hostilities.

It’s no more legal than sending an assassination squad to remove Trump would be

It's a war crime. They should be refusing to obey such illegal orders.

Kelly: I really worry about those aviators, drone operators, special forces guys that are in the Caribbean right now striking these boats and whether or not this is legal..

There’s no authorization for the use of military force. The Congress has not given that to the president. He hasn’t asked.

In every war there comes a point where on one side, or even both, the demand for men outweighs the supply. There are suggestions that Russia is approaching — or already passing — that tipping point. Will Putin go for another wave of full mobilisation? youtu.be/Of2xBjtUPEY

God, Gove really is an appalling person. I was a headhunter. You always agree a list of target employers with a candidate so, as usual, Gove is lying.

Hilariously, conspicuous liar and VIP Supremo Michael Gove is claiming not to know who his own headhunters are begging for work from.

I am not on the list of people eligible for a free vaccine and can't afford to pay for one but I really want to avoid getting Covid. What an I supposed to do ?

Prof Christina Pagel @chrischirp.bsky.social · 2d

Also, if you're "in bed with flu", it's almost certainly Covid.

Prof Christina Pagel @chrischirp.bsky.social · 2d

After a long pause, I've just done another England Covid & NHS update as we head into the autumn/winter season.

TLDR: we're in a significant Covid wave now, the NHS is stretched, get boosted if you're eligible.

CBS reporter Edward R. Murrow embodied what a journalist should be: someone who holds power to account instead of capitulating to it.

Over 70 years later, his segment denouncing Joe McCarthy’s congressional witch hunts rings truer than ever.
