Is it Friday afternoon already? Well, this calls for a cup of tea and a biscuit.

It is worth watching this CNN video from the moment Emory Econ Professor Caroline Fohlin came across the violent arrest of a protester on campus and asked the police, with shock, 'What are you doing?' That's all that prompted an officer to hurl her to the ground and handcuff her.

18/ Musk has clearly signaled whose messages he believes deserve his personal support and amplification:

-Right-wing stooges for Putin;

-Antisemites spouting “replacement theory;”

-Racists who question Black professional skills;

-Anti-LGBTQ trolls

The list goes on.

15/ Like Donald Trump, Rupert Murdoch, and too many other wealthy & powerful men, Elon Musk is a toxic mix of narcissism, insecurity, sexism, and a particularly cruel form of unkindness that seems especially gleeful about punching down on those with less power.

8/ When Musk talks about protecting “free speech” he really means supporting provocative and/or violent voices — and *esp* trolls who hate the idea that all people are equal.

Conversely, Musk is quick to *stifle* speech if it embarrasses him or his companies.

He’s a hypocrite.

3/ Musk is a poster child for divisive racist, sexist, and plutocratic tendencies that undermine democracy’s commitment to equality for all.

No amount of hand-waving can hide what Musk is doing.

Destroying Twitter’s value is the tell: It’s not about the money.

It’s worse.

1/ Two years ago today, on 4/25/22, Twitter’s Board accepted Elon Musk’s offer to acquire the company at $54.20/share.

As an ex-director for civic integrity at Twitter, I’ve watched what Musk has done since then.

And today is my last post on this platform.

I’m leaving.

Dutch journalist here 👋 This is false. The Netherlands has not called for puberty blocker restrictions. Conservative Dutch politicians who have wanted trans care to be restricted already, took the opportunity the Cass review gave them to ask in bad faith for more “investigation”

Justice Jackson tells Trump's lawyer that he seems to be 'worried about the president being chilled.' She argues that, in reality, a 'really significant opposite problem' would emerge:

'If the president wasn't chilled, if someone with those kinds of powers, the most powerful…

Donald Trump's lawyer is effectively arguing before the Supreme Court that there is no legal recourse if Joe Biden orders the military to kill his client.

love to listen to Supreme Court oral arguments about fun hypotheticals like “if you have a womb is it possible you aren’t a person” and “should we have a king”

Is the president immune if they sell nuclear secrets?

“Likely not immune,” Trump lawyer says. “Now if it’s structured as official act, he’d have to be impeached and convicted first”

How about if they order a military coup?

“I think it would depend on the circumstances”

If you live or work at least 2,000 miles away from Columbia, and you have never visited the campus, or indeed rarely if ever set foot on the UWS, please do send me your detailed expert views on my workplace…..I feel I need more of them to understand what’s going on

The right in America takes this guy seriously.

This piece is exceptional and while my experience of Bay Area tech is not 100% aligned, still reminds me of all the times dreary management types with little grasp of technology or users or the future draining the joy and quality from the industry. wheresyoured.at/the-men-who-ki…

Greater Manchester Police chief Stephen Watson, who unexpectedly reopened the investigation into Angela Rayner’s addresses, spoke at the last Tory conference.

The appearance raised questions about his political impartiality, as since the event he's garnered Tory support for…
