Surely there's only troll bots and right wing psychopaths left on twitter? I'm surprised it's not 100% yes

[-] HumanPenguin@feddit.uk 21 points 3 days ago

Elon Musk clearly needs mental health support.

Hell of late he is making trump see, sane and well-thought-out.

[-] L0rdMathias@sh.itjust.works 2 points 2 days ago

Yawn been there, done that. Let's set our sights to the future of America, not on assimilating the losers.

[-] BrazenSigilos@ttrpg.network 14 points 3 days ago

US here, we need to worry about our own government right now, and many of us wish Musk would drive his own Cyber truck to test dummy it's 'features' personally. As a US citizen I am sorry the oligarchy is a pain for you as well.

It'll be worse for you guys though. Trade sanctions cut both ways and the thing is the UK has the rest of the world to trade from, but the US will impose sanctions on everyone and shoot themselves in the foot.

I can't believe Elon musk managed to destroy twitter so much they lead to four separate twitter's for each political quadrant!

Twitter for the right, Twitter for the left, Twitter for the libertarian, Twitter for Linux users

[-] SirQuackTheDuck@lemmy.world 5 points 3 days ago* (last edited 3 days ago)

It's twitter for the right, Lemmy for the left, bluesky for the libertarians and Linux users have joined either us, or gone back to trusty bulletin boards

Source: no idea

If in the next decade Ruzzia and America form an AXIS like alliance to take over more territory I won’t be surprised.

[-] Quacksalber@sh.itjust.works 13 points 3 days ago

You should've voted yes. It'll get X banned faster in Europe.

[-] Hossenfeffer@feddit.uk 9 points 3 days ago

They're welcome to Luton, to be honest.

[-] echodot@feddit.uk 5 points 2 days ago

If he sees Bradford he'll probably have an aneurysm.

[-] Hossenfeffer@feddit.uk 1 points 2 days ago

Oi! That's the UK City of Culture 2025 you're talking about!

"Even reading the local newspaper, some of the headlines can be very upbeat, and beneath it are just loads of comments that, 'This is a disaster, it'll just never work, Bradford is doomed'."

Can we turn all the lights off and pretend nobody's home when they come knocking? We'll definitely hear them coming.

How many of the people pearl clutching didn’t even notice we just overthrew Syria?

But I guess white western countries are supposed to be off limits.

Right, because his tyranny will be so much better for us! 🙄

Yes. No oil.

hastily hides the north sea oil fields

Black and viscous - bound to cure blue lethargy
Sugar-plum petroleum for energy
Tightrope-balanced payments need a small reprieve
Oh, please believe
We want to be
in North Sea Oil

Maybe willingly telling the guy steamrolling towards the 1984 timeline exactly who is against him isn't the best idea?

[-] Naich@lemmings.world 6 points 3 days ago

Nah, you are OK, thanks.

[-] x00z@lemmy.world 5 points 3 days ago

Absolute masterpiece of an example of how the narrative of a question is equally as important.

Neither Yes or No are a good answer here.

[-] magnetosphere@fedia.io 2 points 3 days ago

The best thing I can say about Musk is that watching him spiral even further into madness will be fun.

[-] zout@fedia.io 2 points 3 days ago

Yup, even better since he's buddies with Trump right now, when the shit hits the fan it will be better than reality tv.

[-] atro_city@fedia.io 1 points 3 days ago

!stopmuskspam

[-] mydude@lemmy.world 1 points 3 days ago

Wonder-bombs will once more reign over London.

[-] GreatAlbatross@feddit.uk 3 points 3 days ago

Maybe they'll bring some friendly bombs for Slough.
