Hey Pablo, don't you read your own Tweets? You've been getting played by the rich private owner of his so-called "public town square"! Well, what did you expect...? It's what billionaires do, isn't it? But... but... Pah!

44 million Bluesky users. Just get on and move from X.

Pete Hegseth falsely testified to both the House and the Senate last week that troops were deployed to voting places in 15 states under Joe Biden in 2024. Not only were all National Guard activations for the 2024 election ordered by individual states rather than Biden, all 11 states that responded to my inquiries told me that *zero troops* were sent to voting places. The Pentagon declined to comment. Fact check: cnn.com/2026/05/04/pol…

@l_bohlman @comanche2027 @Johncdunke8148 @RWayne_68 @4HumanUnity @atrupar @HumanPeace @JoJoFromJerz @mmpadellan @MeidasTouch The highlighted point 23 is very much from the linked document.

@OUComanche_Kiowa You’re asking the wrong question and that’s the point. The original post us propaganda. The screenshot you (and the @JoJoFromJerz / @atrupar network) keep posting is not from the $250 million defamation lawsuit Kash Patel filed against The Atlantic. It is from a separate, earlier case. Patel v. Figliuzzi (S.D. Texas, 4:25-cv-02548). That was dismissed on a Rule 12(b)(6) motion for failure to state a plausible claim. That case is over and has zero bearing on the active Atlantic suit. In the actual Atlantic lawsuit (the one that matters), Patel explicitly denies the claims of intoxication on the job, freak-outs, and unexplained absences. He is suing because he says those allegations are false. Here is the real complaint you keep dodging: storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.usco… This is the same cherry-picking and context-stripping pattern your network uses constantly: take one unrelated document, declare victory, and pretend the full record doesn’t exist. Facts over selective screenshots and manufactured gotchas. Read the correct filing instead of playing “he said she said” games with the wrong lawsuit. Evidence is public for everyone.

REPORTER: Can you explain the computer log in issue? Your lawsuit contends you were not able to log into the system KASH PATEL: Let's have a survey. How many of you people believe that's true? REPORTER: Did you communicate with anyone you thought you were fired? PATEL: It's an absolute lie. It never happened. You are lying. REPORTER: The lawsuit says the opposite!

"For every day of this conflict, $2 billion is spent. My entire target for a hyper-prioritised plan to save 87 million lives is $23 billion," UN's Fletcher said. "We could have funded that in less than a fortnight of this reckless war. Now ... we cannot." theguardian.com/world/2026/apr…

Trump said Friday that the Strait of Hormuz situation was "over." It very obviously wasn't. Trump said Friday that Iran agreed "to never close the Strait of Hormuz again.” The next day, Iran closed the Strait of Hormuz again. Trump said yesterday that Vance isn't going to Pakistan for the talks. Officials quickly said Vance is going to Pakistan for the talks. Trump said this morning that Vance had left and would be there tonight Islamabad time. Officials quickly said Vance is actually leaving tomorrow. Trump said Iran has no military anymore and that "everything's gone." Iran continues to have a military with destructive capabilities. Trump said the pope issued a statement saying Iran can have a nuclear weapon. That never happened.   Trump said nobody expected Iran to retaliate against Gulf countries. That was widely expected. Trump said the only planes the US has really lost in the war have been to friendly fire. He said this at the same event at which he had spoken at length about what happened after Iran shot down a US plane. Story on the president's ever-growing number of false claims on big and small matters related to the war – and his triumphant claims about supposed Iranian concessions that we just can't assume are based in reality: cnn.com/2026/04/20/pol…

@NateSilver538 X has an impression Gini of over 0.95, with most of this variance being between accounts instead of between posts. So the current design seems to prioritize the worse content of popular accounts over potentially good content from less popular accounts. Lots to explore here.

These are the Twitter/X accounts with the most engagement so far in 2026. I suppose I had some intuition for how bad it was, but jeez, this is what you get when the ecosystem is broken.

@Yonatan_Touval @nytimes Useful read, worth reposting on bsky.

The algebra of the war makers will have been flawless. But what they cannot read, they will not have reckoned with — and wars are made of resentment, dishonor, loyalty and grief as much as of algorithms and fire. My Guest Essay in @nytimes: nytimes.com/2026/03/29/opi…

Because he’s not king of the world. The US press needs to do its job.

Volume in stock and oil futures surged 15 minutes before Trump’s Iran post, and raised some eyebrows because whoever purchased a large amount of stock futures and sold or short crude futures at that moment made a lot of money just minutes later.@CNBC cnbc.com/2026/03/23/vol…

💰 Half a billion dollars worth of bets on the oil market were placed 15 minutes before Donald Trump said the US had held “productive” talks with Iran and announced a ceasefire on energy strikes. 🔗: telegraph.co.uk/world-news/202…

@Miles_Brundage I'd up the offer to 22.5% when you repost it on Bluesky. Don't sell yourself short.

I guarantee a 17.5% increase in your AI policy knowledge if you follow me

This isn't new... but it's not good.

Are Trump's posts getting worse or am I just not keeping up?

There's always a quote, as they say.
