NEW Stewart Lee column
Among Boris Johnson’s trove of non-think pieces for the Daily Mail, one hilariously wrong prophecy somehow sheds an even more depressing light on our current crisis

Tech billionaires have eroded the American dream. But voters are waking up. So should we in Britain. These trillion dollar companies represent the privatisation of capitalism- and everything from space to AI. We need a strategic response.

"It’s lunacy."
Journalist Naomi Klein (@NaomiAKlein) tells Ash Sarkar (@AyoCaesar) that AI data centres in the US have already caused an unexpected spike in global emissions – and that the proliferation of these climate-wrecking projects could not have come at a worse time.

The Writers Guild speaks out about tech platforms squashing the @alexgibneyfilm doc about Elon Musk:
“A small handful of billionaires now own virtually every major media company, news outlet, social media platform and are demonstrating how this unchecked concentration threatens democratic discourse.”

Restrictions on Covid vaccine access to the public, while Public Health Agencies across the UK quote vaccine use as offering enough “population immunity” to justify a massively restrictive policy on antiviral access for when you inevitably get Covid is criminal. Its illogical.
Dear @UKHSA @YvetteCooperMP,
Why are the eligibility criteria so different for Covid vs Flu vaccines?
Hardly anyone is eligible for a Covid vaccine despite studies showing that BOTH the acute & long-term impacts of Covid are comparatively WORSE than flu on almost every measure.

Following the Covid Inquiry's damning verdict on @MattHancock, we've launched a petition to remove him from the Privy Council.
His actions led to thousands of avoidable deaths.
This is a first symbolic step towards accountability.

Meta's "accidental" suspension of the No Kings Instagram account — at a time when the org was posting updates from ongoing marches — was not an anomaly. I found dozens of similar instances of Meta "mistakenly" targeting left-leaning activist accounts, often during crucial election windows.
My latest.

Hospital acquired (nosocomial) Covid in Welsh hospitals accounts for over 70% of Covid in their hospitals…patients who are given Covid while already in hospital. And they wonder why “pressures” haven’t eased 🙃

It’s the 13th wave of Covid right now. The 13th spin of the chamber. Many lives were destroyed from waves 1 to 12, but every wave is an opportunity to join them. The NYT is saying it out loud at last…

I wrote about the significance of the mid range strikes on russian logistics in occupied southern Ukraine about 6 months ago for @BylineTimes.
It was and is a game changer.
Why would @elonmusk turn that off?

We are past the point of political disagreement. We are witnessing a catastrophic collision between unchecked narcissism and obvious neurological decay. It is the most dangerous intersection in American history: a man with the absolute power of the Presidency and the absolute cognitive failure of a person no longer tethered to reality.

🧵 “If it is in fact Mr. Musk that ordered this, that is likely a violation of the law, because. he has authority and decision making authority over Starlink, the civilian commercial product, but not Star Shield, which is a military-grade national security tool.”
Joined @kaitlancollins on @CNN tonight to discuss deeply troubling reports of Starshield restrictions in Ukraine.
These allegations demand a full congressional investigation. We will establish the facts, determine who was responsible, and pursue accountability.
Russia is the aggressor. Ukraine is defending its own land. There is no moral equivalence. America must never waver in its defense of freedom, nor equivocate in the face of aggression.

Mr. Vice President, if you’re going to insult me at least have the guts to tag my account.

Which makes him, among other things, a liar because he denied doing that on this very platform.
BREAKING WSJ:
Elon Musk ordered the slowdown of the military-grade version of Starlink that Ukraine relied on.
