Just a reminder that I’m basically done with this Nazi-loving site after 15 years. I’m at the other place now where my posts aren’t throttled and I’m picking up followers about 6 or 7 times faster than on X. The transition was MUCH easier than I expected. https://t.co/nBEc2xsDGa

@TransformDrugs The policy prophet that is @SanhoTree covers this from a few angles in this new video as to why abject futility is the theme when it comes to ‘crackdowns’, and especially when it comes to fentanyl. https://t.co/A0Bk8ZPUk7

Corruption. It’s a large issue and needs a lot of context. On the lead up to our side session at this year’s #CND68 (which is open to attend for anyone in Vienna on Friday) we have put together a digital panel to explain the many tendrils to systemic corruption. See below ⬇️

$2.7 BILLION!!!😂 “Now, an appellate court ruling in New York state is allowing Smartmatic's parallel, $2.7 billion suit to press ahead. The same ruling also dismissed some counts against the network's parent company, Fox Corp.”
Fox News headed for trial - again - over false 2020 election fraud claims This time, it’s Smartmatic. Last time, Fox paid $787.5M to settle with Dominion. Fox says - again - it relayed newsworthy claims by newsworthy people. My story: https://t.co/WF6tTjjhoY

Hitman Edgar Matobato flees PH as he makes ‘final admission’ “I will face what I did. But Duterte, he must be punished by the court and by God.” READ MORE: https://t.co/dq7zVdNKLn

As an immigrant who found freedom and prosperity in America, I am deeply moved by this honor. I accept it on behalf of the many people around the world with whom the Open Society Foundations have made common cause over the past 40 years.
Today, President Biden awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom to 19 great leaders who have made America a better place.

I’m flying back to DC from Toronto & the bag check fee is $35 Canadian. @AmericanAir is charging me $50 because I live in the US while Canadian passengers pay only $35. They will gouge you every chance they get. I’ve flown a half million miles on this airline, but no more.🤬

Duterte’s hitman of nearly 24 years opens up: “Edgar Matobato said he fed a man to a crocodile, but only once. Mostly, he said, he ended people’s lives with a trusted weapon: his .45-caliber Colt M1911 pistol.”

Edgar Matobato says he killed again and again for former President Rodrigo Duterte of the Philippines. Now he’s trying to stay alive to testify.

A new protected class comprised of exactly one person is born. The mocking of Adrian Dittman is hereby prohibited by Mr. Free Speech.
Re: new Twitter anti-negativity algorithm. Elon Musk has "positively" lost his relevance. Mars is "positively" not inhabitable by humans. The Tesla Cybertruck is "positively" an engineering disaster. I am optimistically certain of these statements. @elonmusk
