@GuntherEagleman The important mathematics is how many he stops minus how many he started. So far he and I are on equal scores.

@ReemAmirIbrahim There is a thin line between free speech, which is vital, and inciting violence, which is vital to stop. Its not too difficult to work out which side of the line these comments land on.
English

@ReemAmirIbrahim He’s not telling a music festival what to do, he’s exercising control over who gets to arrive in the UK.
English

The Prime Minister should not be dictating what a private music festival does.
More free speech restrictions in Britain!
Keir Starmer@Keir_Starmer
Kanye West should never have been invited to headline Wireless. This government stands firmly with the Jewish community, and we will not stop in our fight to confront and defeat the poison of antisemitism. We will always take the action necessary to protect the public and uphold our values.

@Matt_Pinner Humans are still building this one…. Go and have a shufti it is so beautiful it makes me cry.

@WHATSFORDlNNER You have some sort of mash shortage going on? Your pie to mash ratio is a shit show.

@toryboypierce @Keir_Starmer @HMSDragon Defense spending slightly higher under the current gov't (2.3% of GDP, than the last one 2% GDP. Still a long way short of the 5+% in the early 70s though. pa.media/blogs/fact-che…

More humiliation for @Keir_Starmer @HMSDragon,which took 3 weeks to get to the Gulf, is now in dry dock being repaired. The decline of a great maritime power

@PeaknikMicki @AnthonyTutcher @ABridgen Yep, and if you are in the business of faking space flights, reposting the same photo 58 years apart would have been a bit dumb.
English

@OliverNeilson @AnthonyTutcher @ABridgen They are two separate images. So Grok believes the one to the right is recent whilst the left one if from 1968. It could also be that the AI engine is confused by the text and now possibly even being trained. Best would have been to get a source link to the right hand image
English

@PeaknikMicki @AnthonyTutcher @ABridgen So sentence one Grok says it was not taken by Artemis, then sentence 2 says it was. I can't find anything to back that up. Grok refs NASA, but nothing there either. nasa.gov/gallery/lunar-…
English

@jasonosada @AnthonyTutcher @ABridgen Its a separate debate. They haven't republished the Apollo 8 image as was suggested.
English

@OliverNeilson @AnthonyTutcher @ABridgen if you believe this is a real photo then you are a fucking dipshit
English

@AnthonyTutcher @ABridgen OMG that is a coincidence...except that this is the shot Artemis took, and its obviously not the same....and its 58 years not 68, but apart from that you're bang on. apnews.com/article/nasa-a…

@Artemisfornow What's the lowest dollar value you are willing to take to compromise principals? Obviously at 37m they are up for grabs.
English

🚨 Wireless festival now cancelled !
Keir Starmer just wiped out an event worth about £37 million to the UK economy and about £4–7 million in tax revenue. Brilliant.
Hotels, transport, staff, small businesses all suffer! He believe he should decide how private businesses should run.
He isn’t a socialist he’s an idiotic communist.

@VelonCC Please don’t encourage this sort of thing, I live in the mountains of Mallorca and it’s currently full of middle aged men clip clopping around in white Lycra, it’s making my eyes bleed. What happened to the ‘any colour as long as it’s black’ rule?
English

@C130GuyBNA @ianmiles Aren't the ships in range of drones that can be launched up to 1,000 miles away? Can't protect that with a few planes.
English

I’m still not clear why the US doesn’t just escort ships through the street as well as use A10/AC130 to enforce a no go zone along the Iranian coastline in the chokepoint of the straits and just force it open.
I get the issue of the mirror threat of attack keeping ships out since they are slow moving and undefended but we could fix that very easily.
There has to be some aspect not being discussed such as putting pressure on the nations who depend on goods coming through the straight, which is predominantly not USA.
English

@JeremyDBoreing So the most powerful man on Earth with sole authority to wage nuclear war if he choses to saying 'a whole civilisation will die tonight' doesn't worry you at all?, not even a bit? Granted he does have a rich history of talking bollocks and not following up on threats and promises
English

Donald Trump has been a national politician for a decade. Anyone still reacting to the guy’s negotiating tactics and hyperbole with this sort of hysteria ten years in should be disqualified from political commentary.
If he nukes Tehran at 8pm, I’ll admit I’m the crazy one.
When he doesn’t, this crew will admit nothing and find some other comment to be scandalized by.
Bo Winegard@EPoe187
Ok this is legitimately a threat to annihilate an entire people, an obvious and grotesque war crime. There is absolutely no defense of this and it should lead to immediate impeachment and removal.
English

@stelzner_n1150 ...and everything so far has not been stupid?
English

@mumwhocares @SandyofSuffolk I'm not denying that people deserve a few years of rest after they have finished their working lives, I'd like to myself, I'm just questioning whether its ethical to push the debt for paying for it onto our unborn grand children who don't get a say in the matter.
English

@OliverNeilson @SandyofSuffolk OK but my husband has just retired at age 68. He had a manual job for 53yrs. So have many others his age. Retiring at 66 with a State Pension and a bus pass sounds like a normal world to me. You’re welcome 🤷♀️
