@TinoAW @CaolanReports UPPER CASE IS NOT EASY TO READ.

@CaolanReports 3-4 word subtitles are still very hard to follow. Can you do normal, full-sentence subtitles? Preferably without constantly-changing font size, too; it almost feels subtitles like that are there for effect more than accessibility. Thanks again for your work

Irish politicians are still denying the russian refinery is fuelling the Kremlins war. Well it is. Here’s how 👇

This might be hard for Americans to hear, but the USA getting humiliated by its abject failure as a power during this Iran War might be the best thing possible at this time. The country needs to understand there are consequences for electing a crook.

BBC slammed by Ross Greer live on air over framing of racist disorder in Belfast “Those were racist rioters. If you're burning the houses down of people who are not white, you are a racist rioter, you're a criminal, you are a scumbag.” Greer added: “The BBC should not be legitimizing these people by calling them anti-immigration campaigners. thenational.scot/news/26181298.…

@MrGlenCarroll Overall: around 80% probability that AI played a significant role in creating the text. The biggest tell is not any individual phrase. It’s the combination of length, repetitive persuasion, polished narrative structure and the absence of genuinely surprising observations.

The Ultimate Irony Elon Musk Never Saw Coming Remember when Elon Musk spent $44 billion to buy Twitter, rebranded it to X, fired everyone who knew how to run it, and turned it into a right-wing echo chamber so he could help Trump win? Yeah. About that. Because out of the shadows comes Dark Brandon Junior — and he's running laps around the entire MAGA ecosystem. Hunter Biden (@HunterBiden) marked 7 years clean and sober on June 1. Instead of hiding, he posted a video thanking his recovery community. Then the trolls came for him. And instead of clapping back with anger, he disarmed them with something MAGA doesn't know how to fight: self-deprecating wit, radical honesty, and zero fs given.* When someone accused him of leaving that White House coke behind, Hunter replied: "It most definitely was not. I would never have forgotten my drugs." When someone photoshopped a pipe in his mouth, he corrected them: "A crack pipe doesn't have that little bowl at the end. This is why we can't trust AI." When a user said they'd vote for him if he made a crack joke campaign ad, Hunter fired back: "How about 'Let's take another crack with a Biden.' Needs work but the possibilities are endless." The result? Even his former MAGA tormentors are apologizing. One user called him "the MAGA whisperer." Hunter's reply summed up the whole damn problem: "Left, right, D or R, we all want the same things. We're being divided on purpose by the Epstein Elite Oligarch class because as long as we're at each other's throats, they get fat and rich off of our misery." Meanwhile, I posted a side-by-side: Don Jr. looking like he just crawled out of a three-day bender vs. a clean, sober, sharp-witted Hunter Biden. Asked a simple question: Which first son's family would you trust with American democracy? You know what's beautiful? Elon Musk spent billions to control the narrative. And now Hunter Biden — the man they spent years trying to destroy — is using X to unite Democrats who felt voiceless, shame trolls with humor, and remind everyone what actual redemption looks like. So here's my message to every Democrat clutching their pearls about "messaging" and "optics": Stop. Just stop. Hunter Biden is out here doing more for Democratic morale than half the party's consultants. He's not running for anything. He's not farming for clicks. He's just speaking like the Americans his father and our parents raised — honest, unafraid, and unwilling to let bullies define him. Meanwhile, the other side nominated a convicted felon and adjudicated rapist and didn't blink. They don't do purity tests. They do power. So let's be clear: Laugh at the memes. Share the posts. Tag @HunterBiden every chance you get. Because every time you do, you remind people that redemption is real, that sobriety is worth celebrating, and that the party of "family values" spent years attacking a man for his addiction while their own golden boy Don Jr. can't even keep his eyes open in public photos. Elon Musk, thank you. Without you, we wouldn't have Hunter Biden lighting up your own platform with truth, humor, and the kind of unscripted humanity MAGA can never fake. #DarkBrandonJunior #MAGAWhisperer #HunterBiden #SobrietyWins #X #ElonMusk #DemocratsUnited #smokefléét

@MrGlenCarroll Is x now full of AI written walls of text? Bring back 140 character limit.

@TheRationalOG GPT says: Assessment Probability Fully human 15–30% Human edited from AI draft 40–50% Mostly AI-generated 35–45%

Hunter Biden was the most written about ''failed son'' in America, and then in one week he stopped being written about and started writing the story himself. For a decade the narrative belonged to everyone but him. The laptop. The addiction. The business deals. The conviction. The pardon that hung over his name like a verdict that never finished. Reporters built careers on his collapse. He stayed quiet and took it. Then in late May he logged back onto X and something flipped. His posts started pulling millions of views within days. The man the world had written off was suddenly setting the news cycle in real time. The same reporters who covered his downfall now refreshed his timeline for material. He didn't apologize for the past. He didn't beg for sympathy. He just started talking, and people couldn't stop listening. The lowest card in the deck turned the entire table. The president he'd been defined by even got asked about him in the Oval Office. Sometimes the person everyone counted out isn't finished. They're just waiting for the room to go quiet so they can finally speak for themselves.

Oh please. If Nick Clegg wanted to expose the dark underbelly of Silicon Valley he could breach his NDA & dish the dirt. Instead he pocketed an alleged $100m & is laundering his reputation with assistance from UK media

@DaveKerrPT @Dr_Gavin_Brewis @higgyboson Morrison's car park is the free Barras car park.

@Dr_Gavin_Brewis @higgyboson Tried to park off Salt market for an hour to go to the Barras. £9. Nine Pound. For ma cheek apparently

I've been driving around the Scottish Highlands for a few days and I've noticed a big difference in towns compared to where I live in Devon. In Devon, whenever you drive into a town you have to pay to park. That's before you spend anything in shops, bars, cafes etc. Councils consider car drivers as the enemy. A mere cash cow. If you park - YOU PAY. Hence, many people now avoid town centres like the plague or they severely limit the number of times they visit. For the past few days I've stopped off in many towns across the North of Scotland. I've parked in council car parks and not once have I been confronted with a ticket machine, a barrier or an ANPR camera. And guess what? I've actually been into shops, cafes, restaurants etc and spent money. In so doing, I've helped the businesses to do what they do best - Providing goods and services to their communities. Communities free from paying extortionate amounts of money to local councils for the "privilege" of being able to park up and visit businesses who rely on their custom. Councils "down South" should take notice. If you price drivers out of towns, they stay away, businesses close and the town dies. The evidence is everywhere. (And yes, I know Internet shopping is another enemy of the High Street so I don't need to be informed about that).

@velnore_ @Osint613 tell me this post wasn't AI-generated!

If this is accurate, the most important detail right now is the one that's missing: the identity of the victim. A vehicle explosion near an area associated with military or Defense Ministry personnel will immediately trigger speculation about assassination, sabotage, organized crime, or other targeted activity. But until authorities identify the victim and provide preliminary findings, it's difficult to distinguish between a deliberate attack and other possibilities. What often happens in cases like this is that people jump straight to motive before the basic facts are established. In reality, investigators typically start with three questions: - Who was in the vehicle? - Was the explosion caused from within or from an external device? - Was the victim specifically targeted? The location makes the story geopolitically interesting, but the victim's identity is what will determine whether this becomes a local criminal case, a political incident, or something with broader security implications. So the real question is: Who was the intended target, and does the method suggest a personal attack, a criminal dispute, or a message aimed at a wider audience?

Suspected assassination in Moscow. Car exploded in Blaisha, a suburb for Russian military and Defense Ministry staff. Passenger killed, identity not yet released.

Poor Paul. His son is facing the consequences of his actions.

@anthon7yandrews Michael Wolff’s GoFundMe for his anti-SLAPP case against Melania Trump raised roughly $830,000. He gives updates most weeks on Inside Trump’s Head podcast.

BREAKING: This morning I, Anthony Andrews, received a “demand” letter from the lawyers of the President and First Lady via FedEx. I guess it is a cease and desist of sorts. It is 6 pages long and references numerous social media posts relating to Donald Trump and separately Melania. The scale of what the posts cover would allow for discovery to be sensational. The broad terms mentioned regarding my posts about Donald Trump would allow, if litigated, the world to see the extent to which the president is willing to go to evade accountability. The posts referencing Melania have also been similarly referenced over the years by thousands of people publicly. As a messenger, I posted what was shared with me by a first person witness. I have them on their toes and am obviously very much over the target. More details to come. If they’re coming after me, they will eventually come after everyone.

@Manifesttext @raelbrav @elonmusk I wonder why? Rael Braverman (husband of British politician Suella Braverman) is of South African-Israeli origin, but holds British nationality. Born in April 1975, he was originally from South Africa before moving to the UK as a teenager and previously lived in Israel.

@raelbrav @elonmusk The real question is why all these pro Reform voices and politicians want us to be ruled by a South African oligarch?

Starmer, you useless incompetent clown. Accusing @elonmusk of “whipping up division” while your two-tier policing leaves British kids bleeding out in handcuffs after being stabbed? One day you’ll be booted out of Downing Street and back to some low-grade middle manager shit job that perfectly suits your zero talent. You’ll be a forgotten footnote of failure. Meanwhile @elonmusk will be getting on with Starship Mars missions, Optimus Gen 3 robots, Neuralink, Grok accelerating scientific discovery, Tesla, and Starlink connecting the world.

@HunterBiden @FoxBrambleFarm @aaronjames619 That was a bit too AI-y, Hunter. We can spot it a mile away.

I see your profile picture. That’s Johnny Cash. My hero too. Arrested seven times. Smuggled 668 amphetamines across the Mexican border in 1965. Took every drug there was and drank like I did. Cheated on his first wife. Slept with more woman than I ever did. Hit bottom in a cave in Tennessee in 1968 trying to crawl off and die. And then he got up. He got clean. He spent the rest of his life singing for prisoners and addicts and the people the country threw away because he knew he was one of them. That was the whole point of the Man in Black. He wore it for the poor and the beaten down. He wore it for the prisoner who has long paid for his crime. He wore it for the ones who never heard a word of Jesus. He wore it for the addicted and the dying. He wore it as a standing witness that no one is past saving. You picked his picture. You did not pick his message. Try listening to the words.

Things most Americans agree on: Groceries cost too much. Tariffs suck and make no sense. Congress and Presidents shouldn’t trade stocks. The debt is a mess. The border should be secure, but legal immigration is good. Endless wars are stupid, especially ones that nobody wants and have never been explained. Americans are exhausted. AI is like my new best friend that also might be trying to take my job, my ability to think for myself, and my humanity in the process. Yo like I love you, but WTF, but I still love you. Diversity is actually awesome! The opposite is boring AF. Canadians are super fucking cool. Mexicans are chill. Putin isn’t a good guy looking out for America’s best interest. Rocky IV and Miracle are great movies. Good neighbors are a blessing. Freedom of religion and coexistence without having to blow each other up is probably a good idea. We all question, are we alone in the universe? We all fuck up along the way. Epstein didn’t hang himself. The Trumps and Epstein were best friends for decades. It’s like Bert trying to tell us Ernie was just an acquaintance in the same social scene on Sesame Street back in the day. The Cowboys suck. Go Birds! Things we’re told to fight about: Me. Laptop. Vaccines. Transgenders in sports. Pronouns. That’s the joke.

I gotta level with you folks, My dad's 1967 Corvette Stingray was a wedding gift from my grandfather. Just like Melania was a wedding gift to Trump from Jeffery Epstein

@donmcgowan That's the problem these days . Good writing is what AI models feed off. So, when you read AI-generated text all day (as I do), what might be seen as good writing style looks as if it is AI-generated: 'This isn't any old tweet. It's a Don McGowan tweek.' 'It. Is. NOT.' etc.

@ronnieandreggie I'm a writer. Occasionally, I get paid for it! There is zero Ai in my posts or articles. I don't and never will use it for writing.

Over the last 36 hours, we have witnessed the very soul of Nigel Farage — his essence. It has been over a month since he went into hiding, since serious questions began to be raised over his undeclared £5M donation. A month since he appeared in front of TV cameras or underwent any questioning at all. At 8am yesterday morning, Farage released a video, from a field somewhere, calling for rage. Calling for an end to the mythical two-tier policing. Make no mistake, those were very carefully chosen words — he understood what he was unleashing, and his wish was granted last night in Southampton. On Tuesday, the Home Secretary made a statement to the House regarding the murder of Henry Nowack. There was, as always, an opportunity to question Shabana Mahmood — was Nigel Farage in attendance? No, of course not. Today, Farage was granted a question at PMQs — the showpiece spectacle of the political week in which the country's news and politics fanatics tune in to watch — was Nigel Farage in attendance? Yes, of course he was. He had somehow found his way into work after missing 77 separate votes in Parliament because … he would, at least for three minutes, be the centre of the country's political attention. His question was about the murder of Henry Nowack and the violence that erupted [on his command] last night, but he would not condemn it or call for calm. Instead, he 'suggested' that this rioting might escalate. This afternoon, he has performatively written to the BBC because someone on Newsnight dared to accuse him of inciting the violence — playing his perpetual victim card. Again. And there we see the soul of Nigel Farage — a craven, desperate for attention, evil, petty and pointless man. END RANT.

@donmcgowan Sorry for the accusation.

@donmcgowan Be warned. Possible AI indicators: Prose is unusually polished for a spontaneous social media post. Several paragraphs follow a repetitive pattern that AI can produce well. Phrases such as "the very soul of Nigel Farage" and "his essence" are somewhat theatrical and formulaic.
