the fun thing about the BBC story is that I can't actually read about it for more than couple of minutes at a time because it makes me feel too insane :)

There's only one way for the BBC to deal with a spiteful rightwing megalomaniac who wants to see the corporation destroyed. It must take the usual approach and invite him to appear on Question Time several times a year.

In response to some of the comments: If you agree with *all* the reporting of a news organisation that is both independent *and* non-partisan, then it's very unlikely to be independent and non-partisan. This is true regardless of your politics. Agreeing with all its reporting is the wrong test

"The world's richest man continually manipulates his company's AI to lie about science and promote white supremacism" sounds like some hack sci-fi writing, but it's just our current reality

The Tories' famous popular touch in action again

Is anyone else also internally screaming about this BBC nonsense? I feel like someone's pumping hallucinogenic gas into my house. Nothing makes sense

Whole fucking thing makes me sick to my stomach. An abject fucking liar, a man who lies as easily as he fucking breathes, threatening an organisation which strives for truthfulness. And plastic patriots like the Mail and Farage urging him on. Jackels.

SUPERB and angrily unvarnished response, by former BBC chairman, Lord Patten. "I don't think that we should allow ourselves to be bullied into thinking that the BBC is only any good, if it reflects the prejudice of the last person who shouted at it." ~AA

He read out "I and say your name"....

Pump this into my veins.

It’s not at all clear to me how the BBC can do any kind of serious journalism if its top two bosses can be forced to quit over such an obviously confected scandal. There is no substantive error here. How can the BBC report on Trump, or Farage, or anyone else, in these circumstances?

Seems the bbc will do absolutely anything for celebrity traitors.

What’s the political plan here? It’s all well and good trying to blame the Democrats for the shutdown - and he can get a lot of his base to believe that’s the case. But there doesn’t seem to be any way he can spin “I’m suing and threatening states to ensure people go hungry.”

Tech guys six months ago: haha yes we’re cutting all this WASTEFUL spending by eliminating medical research and USAID Tech guys now: yes I think taxpayers will be excited to bailout my non consensual pornography machine

Coming soon to a phone-in near you: Wouldn’t it have been better if Hitler had won?

If you’re reading about James Watson, and trying to find out if it’s true that he and Francis Crick stole Rosalind Franklin’s work, denying her a Nobel Prize, I can help. It’s... complicated

Laurence Fox is never again going to be able to threaten to sue anybody for calling him, an increasingly overt racist, racist

For the last century many people have imagined what an American dictator might look like but none that I know of predicted that his approach would be to repeatedly say “Hello I would like to be a dictator.”

Lovely message from @neuroblastomauk.bsky.social thanking Alan Carr. Shared on their X. #CelebrityTraitors

Lowe doesn't need the money but the 'thrill' of engagment can be just as corrupting as the love of cash & if engagement/cash increase according to the extremity of the opinions expressed then you need integrity to resist the temptation to become ever more offensive. This is what Musk has engineered.

The world’s first trillionaire initiated a move that has left more than half a million people dead, most of whom are children.

Human trafficking. Rupert Lowe makes more money from using Elon Musk’s website than any other MP. There is money to be made from mass deportations and talking about mass deportations.

Musk: Give me 1% of all the money that exists on Earth. Tesla shareholders: OK - but only if you deliver 1million humanoid robots that call themselves Mecha-Hitler.

RFK Jr's response to someone collapsing nearby him was to haul ass out of the room as quickly as possible

I don’t know why people think the system is broken when one drug-addled, sociopathic fascist troll can be awarded nearly 1 per cent of all of the money that exists on Earth…

I helped make a film, out this week, called “Rovina’s Choice,” about the deaths this man without conscience or accountability has caused — already 600,000, ⅔ of them children.

Vital piece of investigative reporting from Sky. They've uncovered the X algorithm which feeds users extremist right wing material from the moment they join the site. It is a far-right radicalisation engine, by design. news.sky.com/story/the-x-...

The UK Labour Party defines itself as a "democratic socialist" part in the first sentence of Clause IV. And has since the 1990s. That's how woeful the BBC claiming it's a term with no definition is. Good grief.

This is really excellent data journalism... Elon Musk has declared war on the British government, it just doesn't realise it.

THIS IS SO GOOD

This is a must-read. Absolutely damning, though not surprising.

Fox Propaganda has gone Full George Orwell to cope with last night's ferocious rebuke to Republicans and, especially, Trump.

If this is what happens when Reform runs a council, just imagine Farage running the country. Care homes closed and vulnerable people abandoned. We cannot let Trump’s America become Farage’s Britain.

The way all of these people convinced themselves that Mamdani is antisemitic is a subject far more worthy of media examination than any of the ‘groupthink on campuses!’ thinkpieces we’ve been subjected to

I don’t know how many times I’ve watched this video. I don’t know how we’ve gotten to the point where men in full balaclavas can abduct daycare teachers while they’re watching children. But I do know that this isn’t sustainable. Abolish ICE. There is no way to reform this.

Tonight's even more proof the mainstream reporters who are still on Twitter are suffering from a brain problem akin Havana Syndrome that is preventing them from accurately doing their jobs. They are being cooked alive by a snuff-focused apartheid algorithm.

School pupils are to be taught how to tackle conspiracy theories, spot 'fake news' & root out misinformation. The Daily Mail, ajudged by Wikipedia to be an unreliable new source, is furious. You don't have to be Sherlock Holmes to work out why.

Head in hands wondering how this could happen to me, the popular president who posted a video of myself shitting on everyone 2 weeks ago

It *is* biased to use ‘socialist’ in the headline - although it *is* true. What’s undeniably awful about this is claiming “throwing a tantrum like a toddler who’s soiled himself” is “responding strongly”. Sums up the problem the media is currently in.

By all accounts, it was an astonishing display of courage by Samir Zitouni which led to many lives being saved on the Huntingdon-bound train. I hope with every fibre of my being that he pulls through and recovers fully, because this country is a better place with people like him in it.

Let’s take a look at the whole “there are too many black people on TV” thing, shall we? After Pochin claimed Black people in TV adverts “made her mad”, all her supporters tried to use 👇🏼 as their excuse for why she was somehow justified in her overt racism. Spoiler - she isn’t! 🤨 🧵 1/22

I keep seeing supposedly progressive podcasts saying “the problem is that people feel like they just can’t talk about these issues” while these issues are frequently the *only* thing that people are talking about 😩

What’s he busy with, exactly, if he’s not across any of the major news coming out of the White House? Busy obstructing justice…

We've got you 👍

Grok is toxic af.

This. A thousand times this.

Hannan and Frost in the Telegraph. Sunak in the Times. Kwasi Kwarteng in the iPaper. Johnson in the Mail. Gove editing the Spectator. Farage everywhere. All of them shamelessly honking out their ‘Listen to me!’ garbage, as the country flails around in the unbelievable mess they’ve made. Nauseating.
