Nothing to see here, just the world’s richest man & top Republican donor promoting racist AI slop from the UK’s most infamous far-right thug, who he also happens to fund.
Oh & on the same day as this news about right-wing, anti-Muslim terror in the UK:

Sam Neill (2025): “It’s not a happy place, America, and I wasn’t happy there. I’m interested in the condition of America now. It beggars belief what’s happening there now. When you hear a slogan like Make America Great Again, it makes a sort of weird sense because America could be great again, but at community level. Not with sort of strange billionaires making weird decisions”
Sam - you were more than just a lovely actor to work with - refined, thoughtful, a skill second to none - you were a mentor, protector, and above all, friend. Thank you for making our scenes together feel so real. I will be forever grateful to have been on this journey with you.
a lot of people, especially westerners, especially-especially americans, conflate considering others with being controlled & respond with defiance. it’s very weird behavior.
That video of Italian-Americans in Little Italy yelling at Mamdani for not calling them immigrants, but then talking about how their grandparents came to America 100 years ago is one of the funniest things I’ve ever seen.
Matt Walsh, and many like him, have the sole occupation of spreading rage. It’s how he feeds his family. He wants you locked in a rage spiral so that he can make money. He is occupationally incapable of not melting down. Once you realize it, it explains everything that he does.
.@elonmusk says that no one can name a person who died from his aid cuts. In fact, I've met the kids who are dying, and I've talked to the families who lost children. In my columns, I've cited many, many names of people who have died because of Musk's aid cuts. A few examples:
*Yamah Freeman was a 23-year-old woman who died in childbirth because Musk cut funding for the diesel for ambulances in her part of Liberia. She couldn't get to a hospital and died as people were carrying her there. I talked to her parents and sister in their village.
*Gbessey Kiadu, age 1, died of malaria because of his cuts to malaria medication in Liberia. I talked to his mom in her village.
*Ibrahim Koroma, an infant, died of AIDS in Sierra Leone after he interrupted HIV supplies. I talked to health workers who cared for him.
*Achol Deng was an 8-year-old girl with HIV in South Sudan who died when Musk cut funding for the health care worker who provided her medicines. I talked to the healthcare workers.
I could go on and on. In almost every village you go to in South Sudan, Uganda, Liberia, Sierra Leone or other countries I reported in, you find people dying because of aid cuts. I challenge Musk: Come with me on a reporting trip, and we'll talk to these moms and dads, and you'll see the dying children themselves. I think if you see the kids whose lives are at stake, maybe you'll change your mind.
