What you need to see

What the BBC want you to only see.

What about the one with the woman in the maze? "Life's what you make it and god knows I'm working hard on mine". Not on youtube. Sad.

bugger, don't know it, just been googling hits like 'what color is god's skin'. this one was a cracker.. ahead of its time, (like noiseworks), in this era of awkward workplaces with people 'reaching out', 'touching base' and 'checking in'.

Never really had much opinion on Elon but it's starting to seem like we're witnessing an unravelling. He's always shot from the hip, but lately it's not just spontaneous and cavalier but unhinged.

He's been unhinged for a while. From 2018:

Awesome, Swellnet's therapy sessions continue.
Don't do twatter but I do like that quote from stu:
"kinda wish I was one of Elon's kids so I wouldn't have to see him anymore." says the world.

"Taking to X Saturday morning, Musk wrote, “An investigation has found 5 ActBlue-funded groups responsible for Tesla ‘protests’: Troublemakers, Disruption Project, Rise & Resist, Indivisible Project and Democratic Socialists of America.”

“ActBlue funders include George Soros, Reid Hoffman, Herbert Sandler, Patricia Bauman, and Leah Hunt-Hendrix. ActBlue is currently under investigation for allowing foreign and illegal donations in criminal violation of campaign finance regulations. This week, 7 ActBlue senior officials resigned, including the associate general counsel,” continued the adviser to President Donald Trump who encouraged anyone with related knowledge to share in the replies."

Musk nearly had a little cry when interviewed about Tesla currently.

That is more than any empathy or thought or pity or nearly a little cry for the 000’s he has sacked whilst smiling smugly and squealing with delight.

Irony right there.

What in the fascist? Jan 6th though, definitely not domestic terrorism. s/

Another step closer to any protest of government policy, or as this shows, the protest of anything at all, being met with a boot to the face and jail time.

Bill's been getting heat in his IG comments etc and accused of going "woke" for his recent shitting on billionaires and Free Luigi stance. Often this involves him being called a hypocrite because he's a millionaire. First, he's been on the fuck the mega-wealthy train for a while, second, don't these dopes know the difference between millionaires and billionaires? Thirdly, who the FUCK sticks up for billionaires. There's no reason for anyone to have that much wealth. None.

“ According to the Stockholm International Peace Research Institute, the United States remains the world's largest arms exporter responsible for 41.7 percent of international arms sales between 2019 and 2023, up from 38.6 percent between 2017 and 2021. During the most recent time span, the country supplied arms to more than 100 countries.”

“ Arms imports by the European NATO members more than doubled between 2015–19 and 2020–24 (+105 per cent). The USA supplied 64 per cent of these arms, a substantially larger share than in 2015–19 (52 per cent). ”

You think saying Jan 6th was domestic terrorism was a "dem concoction", even though that was the opinion of Republican FBI Director, Christopher Ray? OK.
