Opinion | Elon Musk’s Bizarre, Frightening Obsession With Britain The billionaire’s interest goes beyond trolling.

For @nytimes.com, I wrote about Elon Musk’s obsession with the UK, where he has trolled his way into dominating the news cycle

For months, Musk has been deriding Britain and testing which of its right-wing leaders are willing to be his mouthpiece. What does he want?

Trans Woman Sues After Being Notified Of Transfer To Men’s Prison One of the women sued the Trump administration, alleging the order violates her constitutional rights and puts her β€œat an extremely high risk of harassment, abuse, violence, and sexual assault.”

NEW: Trans women in federal custody were placed in solitary and told they were going to be moved to men's facilities days after Trump's exec order. Other trans folks have issues accessing HRT.

Advocates fear this is just the beginning.

i completely lost it last night while watching a netflix show where a musician that is loosely based on harry styles fakes his death and ends up living in canada with fox teeth in his gums because his actual ones were left at the scene of the staged death

Romanian court moves to remove evidence from Andrew Tate human trafficking case A Romanian court ruled on Tuesday for the removal of some evidence collected against internet personality Andrew Tate in a human trafficking case, and gave prosecutors five days to decide if they will pursue the trial or withdraw the case.

A lot of posts with misinformation celebrating the latest development in the Tate case on the cursed app as a win. It’s not…yet. Prosecutors have to repeat 2 victims statements as their old ones have been thrown out. The case has not ended and will resume 10 December. www.reuters.com/world/europe...

A British pensioner whose bland sandwiches gained him unexpected fame in China has died. Keith Brown, a retired engineer known on Chinese social media as
"Old Dry Keith", became a hit when his Chinese wife Zhang Jian began to post videos of him assembling the ham and cheese sandwiches he liked to eat. Chinese observers were grimly fascinated by his dry, boring sandwiches, and his gentle, stoic manner - and he built up a cult following. "We go from questioning the dry old man, to understanding the dry old man, to becoming the dry old man," observed one cultural commentator.
"The old man is us, and his dry lunch is our dry life."

Fun fact: If someone quotes a post of yours in a way that is unwelcome (as is commonplace on Twitter/X) there is a tool to combat the unwanted attention. Simply click the three dot menu on the quote post & click "Detach quote". This removes your post from their quote post. Useful to know, do share!
