I need everyone to pause and acknowledge Zelensky in all of this. Ukraine has been chipping away at bot farms...and they timed it perfectly so Trump and Elon and co wouldn't have time to "fix" the damage done to their false social media support The drop-off in bots was immediate and exposed things exactly when it was most important A hero in every sense, that guy.

I think we owe Zelenskyy a huge debt in bombing Russia data centers.

A wild story: the CEO of a US energy company whose plans were discussed during the Witkoff-Kushner-Putin negotiations resigns. Why? He learned that his company's main investor is a sanctioned Russian company, not the UAE nytimes.com/2026/10/23/us/po…

Abdul El-Sayed on Iran: War in Iran. Everybody could have told you this is a dumb idea. There was really only one person in the whole world who's had a 40-year project to get us to fight this war. He's a prime minister of another government. And he finally found the dumbass who was willing to do it.

When Ukraine destroys Russian data centers, hoards of aggressive right-wing bots disappear, and Twitter becomes much friendlier. Isn’t that interesting? So much of our politics is driven by the internet, and so much of the internet is driven by Russians who want to hurt us. Shouldn’t we do something about that, given that we know it?

NEW: Ten years on, Prime Minister @andyburnham tells @campbellclaret & @RoryStewartUK that there was ‘clear’ Russian interference in the Brexit vote. FINALLY after years of cover-ups & denials from the highest levels of the UK govt. That in itself deserves an inquiry. 1/

#BBCNews has a cosy chat with Nigel Farage, while #c4news investigates him. That's why @Channel4News is the best news service in the UK.

Nothing screams ‘anti establishment’ like eating oysters whilst discussing a half a million quid donation that your advisors spent hours in Mayfair’s most exclusive clubs negotiating. These ‘men of the people’ are laughing at their supporters. It’s all a con and always was.

Let me say this very directly. Football does not belong to investors. It belongs to the people who fill the stands and who stand on the touchline week in, week out, rain or shine. The World Cup is not a product. It is the greatest competition in world sport, and it was never anyone's to sell. Dress the deal up however you like. Once you have sold a piece of it, you have sold out. Football belongs to the fans. It always has, and it always will.
