Are you safe from Duo this year? #Duolingo365

[David Richardson @DavidRi73183105]

Bye bye everyone. I'm off to Bluesky, under the tag Abidaga. The last straw was when I reported a post for using the term "jungle bunnies", to which Twitter replied that this did not represent a breach of their standards.

Ever wondered where British TV news channels find all these young guests with near identical hard-right libertarian views?

Well it turns out a lot of them are being pushed out by specialist 'talent agencies' backed by pro-Trump billionaires

@christopherhope "once called". I'm sure you've never called anyone anything have you, oh saintly Christopher. If you want to go down this route, here's some more slurs from world politicians from 8 years ago including dear BJ

I would have probably mentioned that Dyson owns 36,000 acres of farmland in England which was previously liable for zero inheritance tax

[Ian Fraser @Ian_Fraser]

One thing The Times neglects to mention is that James Dyson bought 36,000 acres of farmland across England, with a view to saving roughly £100 million in inheritance tax.

1. I've found a large, AI-driven bot network on X which is posting in support of Trump in the US election.

Thread.

@Otto_English If one ever has cause to wonder what Putin's opinion is on any matter, we can always ask his mouthpiece Baroness Fox.

@drhingram I think they had to use their imagination since the request for a booster seat was denied and so he couldn’t be seen.

[Bryan Behar @bryanbehar]

Donald Trump is everything we were ever taught was wrong.

This feels like more than an election.

It’s a referendum on whether being good or decent even matters any more.

The IDF bombed a clearly marked vehicle and killed four engineers going to repair water infrastructure in southern Gaza after they had coordinated the trip with Israeli authorities, Oxfam says https://t.co/pb007Yz4YI

Trump: I don't think I've ever said this before. So we do these rallies. They're massive rallies. Everybody loves, everybody stays till the end. By the way, you know, when she said that, well, your rallies people leave. Honestly, nobody does. And if I saw them leaving, I'd say, and ladies and gentlemen make America great again and I'd get the hell out, ok? Because I don't want people leaving. But I do have to say so I give these long sometimes very complex sentences and paragraphs but they all come together. I do it a lot. I do it with raising cane. That story. I do it with the story on the catapults on the aircraft carriers. I do it with a lot of different stories. When I mentioned Doctor Hannibal Lecter. I'm using that as an example of people that are coming in from Silence of the Lambs. I use it. They say it's terrible. So they say so I'll give this long complex area for instance that I talked about a lot of different territory… You know, for a town hall, there's a lot of people but the fake news likes to say, the fake news likes to say, oh, he was rambling. No, no, that's not rambling. That's genius. When you can connect the dots. Now, now, Sarah, if you couldn't connect the dots, you got a problem. But every dot was connected and many stories were told in that little paragraph

How much do you know about the IEA? In the media a lot? Inspired Truss & Kwarteng’s disastrous mini-budget? Right-wing? And... a registered charity?

The Charity Commission is now reviewing whether the IEA’s activities have breached charity law.

[Facts Central 🇺🇦 @StillDelvingH]

Oh, I'm sorry, were you not aware that ex-ASI/now-IEA "squatting your media" Kate Andrews was a board member/spokesperson of Trump's team in the UK? (You can see her w/former/new chair here 👇)
It's not secret though, she (and the BBC) were quite open about it a while ago.

[Facts Central 🇺🇦 @StillDelvingH]

Who funds the IEA, the TPA, the ASI &co?
You know, the RW 'free trade' thick tanks advocating tax havens, "freedom" (no regulations like workers' rights or environmental protection), no welfare (no tax & no free healthcare).
Basically, "Only the wealthier survive" philosophy?

@mamapanda58 According to Ágnes Urbán, Euronews risks being exploited as a "pseudo-independent" media outpost of the government of Hungary, where it maintains a semblance of independence, but takes a "far less critical" stance with regard to Hungary and other so-called illiberal democracies.
