Why would thousands of international athletes and millions of fans from around the world come to a country where tourists, asylum seekers, and visa holders are being disappeared to foreign prisons?" Both accounts have blue checkmarks. Rothschild's profile picture shows a person in a suit.

Jawdropping.

This country is unrecognizable.

God this is incredible. I mean it’s one thing to avoid mentioning it in interviews, but to glaringly exclude it from an actual written list of things that have affected the economy in the last decade is pure clown show material. Why are we tolerating this relentless stupidity? Bloody lead!

The X exodus - could Bluesky spike spark end of Elon Musk's social media platform? Even Google appears to trust X less, with one expert telling Sky News the search engine treats X competitor Bluesky as 10 times more important than Elon Musk's platform.

Interesting to hear that Google already treats Bluesky as ten times more important than X

It’s almost like destroying a social platform with disinformation, hate and lies is making it less trustworthy…
