Even the genius/magic/talent of #MM93 can’t hide the fact that the Ducati GP25 is an absolute turd. Ducati’s blushes spared by their wonderful GP24… but the Aprilia is getting pretty damn close. #MotoGP #IndonesianGP

Who are these idiots? Did they even watch the race? Marquez didn’t pull off a dramatic win… he came a safe second. Laughably ill-informed shite. @denkmit.bsky.social @matoxley.bsky.social youtu.be/l3igC7CSJyE?...

The difference between #Russia and #USA? Russia is an old school oligarchy based on control of its natural resources. The US is an oligarchy based on control of its tech industrial complex. Same 💩 different smell.

Private sector job creation @ Zero + Government shutdown = Trump gets the interest rate cuts he so desires and the US economy will enter STAGFLATIONARY TERRITORY. DXY ↘️

Hey @denkmit.bsky.social... listened to the podcast and agree with you about the #MM93 celebration, it was the most genuine in recent memory. He showed the raw emotion of a man who has suffered immeasurably for 6 years to get back to the pinnacle of the sport. I saw the real MM93 for the 1st time.

Shame on @apnews.com for this obviously false headline. You are becoming the US #Pravda

This is my most read post on Bluesky with 89 likes and 5 reposts... but it's only gained me 2 new followers. I really don't know how the algorithm functions. It's a good job I'm too old for social media 😂

#KTM Bad news coming for the 2,500+ people working in Mattighafen MotoGP next? www.visordown.com/news/ktms-ma...

The US economy is booming... but customers can't afford $5 coffee any more.

Cutting interest rates is a sign of a struggling economy... but Trump wants to cut them and have a booming economy. Economically illiterate 🤡 www.forexfactory.com/news/1363219...

If this doesn’t make Putin’s release his copy of the Epstein files, I don’t know what will. www.bbc.com/news/live/cp...

"I love the smell of self-deprecating humour in the morning... it smells like victory".

We've now reached the "Tylenol/Paracetamol causes autism" stage of barrel scraping in order to deflect public attention from the #TrumpEpsteinFiles #ReleaseTheEpsteinFiles

If US core retail sales have risen 0.7% in August, doesn't that just mean that prices have risen by 0.7% and the consumer isn't buying more, they're just spending more money on the groceries and everyday expenses? PS: I'm not an economist. Maybe @justinwolfers.bsky.social could clarify?

My "I told you so" moment has arrived...

#CharlieKirk loved his wife and kids, and was a great family man. In the same way, Hitler loved his dog, Blondi (whom he poisoned with cyanide rather than live without her). I don't think either of these things make them 'good people'. We need to look deeper to see the real person.

FUN FACT When #Trump says he doesn't know anything about it, that means he knows everything. When Trump says he knows everything about a subject, that means he knows nothing.

I believe in #FreedomOfSpeech I also believe that free speech comes with consequences. It's either naïve or arrogant to believe you can say what you want without consequence.

When people ask if Trump's policies are working, you can clearly see that they have been a great success. The transfer of wealth upwards was always the objective of their fiscal policies.

I think #Yamaha will be happy with the #YamahaV4Debut. I'm impressed, and it bodes well for 2026 and Fabio Quartararo. #YamahaIsDeadLongLiveYamaha

#FBI and bug-eyed 2nd generation immigrant claiming they “got him” when he actually confessed to a family member who handed him in to police. Good job 🤡

#KashPatel ends his speech with the words, “rest in peace brother, see you in Valhalla”. He’s of Indian not Viking descent. #CulturalAppropriation

Apparently #CharlieKirk had a net worth of $12m, which is a ringing endorsement of the current US zeitgeist… even if you are relatively uneducated you can take advantage of social media algorithms, which favour highly controversial opinions, to earn lots of money. It’s the #AmericanDream.

This is what should have happened in the US… but the Democrats were too weak and forgiving.

Trump gets the Reichstag moment he's been waiting for... on.ft.com/46faFxY

I’ve really tried to find something nice to say about #CharlieKirk, but try as I might I simply can’t find a shred of human decency in him. To him empathy was a weakness and compassion a character failure. A grifter who monetised hate, I can safely say he died doing what he loved most…

#CPI numbers in 30 minutes. My take, for what it’s worth, is that the numbers will show little or no inflationary effect from the tariff tax, and that it will green light more rate cuts… Why? Because US CPI data is no longer based on reality but political expediency.

In a country flooded with guns, ruled by an administration that celebrates and threatens sanctioned violence against its own citizens, and uses bullying tactics against its allies for economic gain, we feign surprise and outrage that violence can be a two-way street. #CharlieKirk

I'm now in conflict with #Bluesky about a post they took down regarding the assassination of Saint Charlie of Kirk. I haven’t threatened violence. I haven’t incited self-harm or suicide. I haven’t wished harm on anybody. I haven’t broken any laws or wished harm on anybody. ...but they took it down.

#Trump called for the death penalty for the Central Park 5 in 1989... for a violent assault and rape that they didn't commit. Let's join him in a call for the death penalty for rapist pedophiles in the #Epstein case. #ReleaseTheEpsteinFiles

If you're thinking of visiting the US any time soon... don't. Particularly if you might look a bit Latino. #StayAwayFromUSA

Cool. #Apple launch a super thin iPhone which will mean we need to buy thicker cases to protect an already fragile phone that doesn't need to be any thinner in the first place. Genius. I'll stick with the old one, thanks Tim.

I started re-watching "When They See Us" on Netflix and it comes as no surprise that Trump was a racist piece of shit back then, as he is now. But he did try to push for the DEATH PENALTY for rapists back then so I'm sure he'll bring it to the statute book again... especially for pedophile rapists.

Rene Alexander Acosta Cuts a ‘sweetheart deal’ for #Epstein and gets rewarded by #Trump with a senior position (Secretary of Labor) in his first administration. Nowadays he’s on the board of #Newsmax fluffing for the pedo-in-chief. A career to be proud of? F you Rene!

#MotoGP Once again, I'd like to point out that the winners time at Sunday's #CatalanGP was 40:14.093 in compared to the winning time in the 2024 race of 40:11.726. Same bike, same tyres... similar weather conditions (28c v 26c) #DucatiCorse... developing the bike backwards. @denkmit.bsky.social

Nigel Farage arriving back in the UK after a bruising encounter with Representative Jamie Raskin (D-MD). His celebratory tour, designed to align him with Trump’s strong-arm, anti-immigrant policy, ended in tatters when somebody actually questioned his obviously false assertions. #Raskin v #Farage

It still seems a little bit higher than the $1.95 Trump is claiming. #GasolinePrice

Bond investors are smarter than that. Tariffs are a tax on US businesses and consumers that will eventually lead to a shrinking of the economy, which, combined with rising inflation and $4tn of extra debt from tax cuts will lead to higher borrowing costs and higher debt. It's just economics stupid.

Current US economic conditions are quite simple to assess with hard data. The government has the largest non-recession deficit to GDP in its history, but...

Truth Social: 3:13am Prices are "WAY DOWN"... is he suggesting the US is entering a period of deflation caused by (a) excess supply (b) reduced demand or (c) decrease in money supply (due to net capital outflow)? Answer A, B, C or D... he hasn't got a clue.

As with everything else this administration does, it’s purely performative. It’s designed to project strength, to strike fear in hearts of ‘outsiders’… whilst it’s really is a sign of fear and failure.

Fed's Waller (a Trump appointee) pushing for rate cuts. 0.25% cut is pretty much baked-in but subject to next week's jobs numbers showing a weakening in the jobs market he'll be pushing for bigger cuts. The US economy is mimicking the Erdogan Turkish model. www.federalreserve.gov/newsevents/s...

#USD Month end trading account reconciliation... always an interesting time in the markets and even more so tomorrow because of the Labor Day holiday on Monday. DXY at 98 and dropping very slowly. US 30-yr Treasury yield at 4.9%... close the the psychologically critical 5% We're on the knife-edge.

The #MAGA people are correct, #DonaldTrump isn't #AdolfHitler. He's actually far more like Benito Mussolini. The facial expressions. The posturing. The narcissism. Hopefully he'll end up the same way... hanging from a lamppost on the corner of the street. www.google.com/url?sa=t&sou...

Talent spotting in MotoGP is an art. It's easy to pick people like Max Quiles for future stardom (a) because they're backed by #MM93 and (b) they're in a top level team. Spotting a huge talent being held back by shitty equipment/badly run teams/lack of finance is much more difficult.

This is one of the most ridiculous and pathetic things I've ever seen... but very 'on brand'.

Here we go... He tried to bully Powell out. that failed. Now he's 'sacking' Cook to replace her with another toady. If it works, Fed independence is dead. 30-yr Treasuries currently at 4.94%

"Roman Moroni Deported to Sweden. Says He's Not From There". (Newspaper headline from the film "Johnny Dangerously") Back in 1984 this was seen as a joke. In 2025 it is actually happening...

In a feat of engineering, #Ducati have not only managed to build a worse bike for 2025, they’ve also managed to make it less reliable 😜 Blushes saved by a genius rider #MM93 (whose bike seems to be so far unaffected). #MotoGP #HungarianGP
