@salltweets Some are pretending to be stupid because it's politically correct, others really believe there's no difference.
This issue has been a terrifying eye opener into human psychology.
I've not been this amazed since discovering aetheism
A lot of people knew exactly what they were voting for: abortion on demand as retrospective contraception. But the campaign heavily leaned on hard cases like fatal fetal abnormality and Savita Halappanavar.
In reality, of the ~60,000 abortions since the law took effect in 2019, around 99% have been early pregnancies under 12 weeks with no medical diagnosis required.
@peterrhague nothing could be more defeatist in a post Apollo, Voyager age. We've a consistent human presence in low Earth orbit, rovers on mars, and the recent commercial use of Starship to launch 26 V3 starlink satellites.
The Islamist riots have now spread to Belgium.
I oppose Trump with every fiber of my being. I think he’s essentially turned the presidency into a mafia. But that doesn’t mean the right is wrong about every issue.
They’ve been raising the alarm bells on immigration for a long time. I ignored it because I oppose them politically.
But liberals have to protect liberalism. In the truth is, a lot of the people pouring into the West do not support Western values. They support a sort of omni-cause that links Palestine, communism, an end to Western military influence and the destruction of our institutions.
And I know it’s uncomfortable. But I’ve never made a friend that escaped Iran that wasn’t terrified at the prospect of this taking root in this country.
Blatant sub-human racism, and you don't even know it. London already has plenty of institutions and spaces dedicated to specific cultures and communities, open to everyone.
Black Cultural Archives (Brixton), Culture House (Somali heritage), The Africa Centre, Jewish Museum London / JW3, Polish Institute and Sikorski Museum, Irish Cultural Centre, numerous Chinese, South Asian, Arab and other diaspora centres and galleries. The big museums also run permanent collections and exhibitions focused on particular cultures.
EbonyLife Place is just another one of those, a privately funded hub focused on African and Black film, food, fashion and art, and its own founder has repeatedly said it’s open to everyone with no ethnic restrictions
some advertising is designed to be so irritating it gets noticed and talked about. This one is in very poor taste, exploitative, and bombarding us, from genuine "bot" accounts. It sullies the X experience and is contrary to Elon's own statements that advertising should be informative, aesthetically pleasing, and something users do not regret watching.
Only the European Union can be so moronic to believe that you can openly insult the US President and simultaneously demand that he takes you seriously.
@daveatherton Echoes Michel Houellebecq’s 2015 novel Submission, published on the same day as the Charlie Hebdo attacks.
He shows the Socialists facilitating the rise and elites then “submitting” opportunistically.
I stepped out of "Musk," an operatically stupid four-hour hit piece, admiring @elonmusk more than ever before. It's an inadvertant love song to American innovation as told by the dumb losers who build nothing and complain about everything.

Millions of children around the world still don't have Internet access. This means many will never discover that they are Trans, and as a result will never know that they are depressed. Some will spend their whole lives blissfully unaware of how unhappy they are.
