Hey Pablo, don't you read your own Tweets? You've been getting played by the rich private owner of his so-called "public town square"! Well, what did you expect...? It's what billionaires do, isn't it? But... but... Pah!

I’m reported a bunch of accounts using the N word to X a few days ago, including accounts with the N word as part of their account name. All of my complaints came back rejected. X is actively promoting racism, it is an absolute cesspit theguardian.com/technology/2…

Ofcom has announced that it has secured commitments from X to begin to abide by its legal duties to remove unlawful content hate on this platform

Fourteen of the 27 known corporate donors to President Trump’s White House ballroom project have won new or expanded federal contracts worth more than $50 billion during the past six months, according to a report. Read more here: wapo.st/4o9GMHL

Maybe it's time to mothball X and move onto other platforms. It'd be good to see more official UK representation on Bluesky, for starters.

44 million Bluesky users. Just get on and move from X.

Pete Hegseth falsely testified to both the House and the Senate last week that troops were deployed to voting places in 15 states under Joe Biden in 2024. Not only were all National Guard activations for the 2024 election ordered by individual states rather than Biden, all 11 states that responded to my inquiries told me that *zero troops* were sent to voting places. The Pentagon declined to comment. Fact check: cnn.com/2026/05/04/politics/…

"For every day of this conflict, $2 billion is spent. My entire target for a hyper-prioritised plan to save 87 million lives is $23 billion," UN's Fletcher said. "We could have funded that in less than a fortnight of this reckless war. Now ... we cannot." theguardian.com/world/2026/a…

Trump said Friday that the Strait of Hormuz situation was "over." It very obviously wasn't. Trump said Friday that Iran agreed "to never close the Strait of Hormuz again.” The next day, Iran closed the Strait of Hormuz again. Trump said yesterday that Vance isn't going to Pakistan for the talks. Officials quickly said Vance is going to Pakistan for the talks. Trump said this morning that Vance had left and would be there tonight Islamabad time. Officials quickly said Vance is actually leaving tomorrow. Trump said Iran has no military anymore and that "everything's gone." Iran continues to have a military with destructive capabilities. Trump said the pope issued a statement saying Iran can have a nuclear weapon. That never happened.   Trump said nobody expected Iran to retaliate against Gulf countries. That was widely expected. Trump said the only planes the US has really lost in the war have been to friendly fire. He said this at the same event at which he had spoken at length about what happened after Iran shot down a US plane.

X has an impression Gini of over 0.95, with most of this variance being between accounts instead of between posts. So the current design seems to prioritize the worse content of popular accounts over potentially good content from less popular accounts. Lots to explore here.

These are the Twitter/X accounts with the most engagement so far in 2026. I suppose I had some intuition for how bad it was, but jeez, this is what you get when the ecosystem is broken.

Because he’s not king of the world. The US press needs to do its job.

Volume in stock and oil futures surged 15 minutes before Trump’s Iran post, and raised some eyebrows because whoever purchased a large amount of stock futures and sold or short crude futures at that moment made a lot of money just minutes later.@CNBC cnbc.com/2026/03/23/volume-i…

💰 Half a billion dollars worth of bets on the oil market were placed 15 minutes before Donald Trump said the US had held “productive” talks with Iran and announced a ceasefire on energy strikes. 🔗: telegraph.co.uk/world-news/2…
