Seriously though, what is x.com and the x app? I just followed the link to google play and it seems’ish like it’s just the twitter microblog, but I’m seeing things mentioned that I didn’t think are part of twitter. I’ve never used twitter or any x products, so I’m actually in the dark.

I’m pretty sure that “x, formerly known as twitter” is the name of the company. So… forever.

What about Elon…

Honestly was thinking the same. Now we sit and wait for what the response will be… 😬

And so it seems the escalation many worried would be the case has been confirmed. What a mess. I have a bad feeling about this.

It’s just insane. Seriously. I can’t wrap my head around so many of these businesses.

Like so many other companies…

Will they learn though. Will this strike be the beginning of something…

🤞🏽

M’kay.

I wish. 🫤

That’s absolutely one of the key reasons the US supports Israel. However, that doesn’t mean it can turn a blind eye to what Israel actually does.

The West, especially the United States, has the ability to exert a lot of influence on Israel and yet it seems that they’re not trying. Withholding military aid, among other things, goes a long way.

I really wonder what it is I’m missing when it comes to why they won’t exert pressure the way it seems they should.

I won’t pretend to understand the complexity of this horrific situation. I’m angry and fed up with Israel and the West’s relationship with Israel. And it confuses the hell out of me when I see things like this exposé from Bob Woodward that just came out: https://www.cnn.com/2024/10/08/politics/bob-woodward-book-war-joe-biden-putin-netanyahu-trump/index.html

“That son of a bitch, Bibi Netanyahu, he’s a bad guy. He’s a bad fucking guy!” Biden declared privately about the Israeli prime minister to one of his associates in the spring of 2024 as Israel’s war in Gaza intensified, Woodward writes.

“He’s a fucking liar,” Biden said privately of Netanyahu, after Israel went into Rafah, Woodward writes.

“Bibi, what the fuck?” Biden yelled at Netanyahu in July after an Israeli airstrike killed a top Hezbollah military commander and three civilians in Beirut, according to Woodward.

“You know the perception of Israel around the world increasingly is that you’re a rogue state, a rogue actor,” Biden said to Netanyahu.

If this is how Biden privately talks about the guy, I have to wonder what’s keeping him from being public about it. I understand this is politics, but I want to hope that there’s more to it because the United States and other Western nations sure as hell should not be complicit in the slaughter of Palestinians simply because of politics.

🤬🤬🤬

I really, really wish the linked article explained more. What are they playing at? This is such a confusing level of control.

Angela posted a video that’s only 19 minutes? 😁

Incredible! 😁

OP, absolutely love your username. 💜💯

To mitigate the impact of a second Trump presidency, Nato countries should support the creation of an allied multilateral lending institution, in practice a Nato bank, it says. This could “save nations millions on essential equipment purchases, offer low interest rates on loans to alliance members and introduce a new line of financing with longer repayment timeframes. The bank would be funded with initial subscriptions from Nato members in return for authorised capital stock”.

I won’t pretend to understand the financial workings of this. Trump is a menace and NATO leadership has good reason to feel as they do. What that said though, I think this may be a good decision regardless of who wins the presidency.

Gut wrenchingly sad… 😥

So effing sick… 😥

Perhaps not an actual reclassification since, until now, all two letter TLDs have been exclusively for countries. But for the right price, I imagine convincing them to maintain the two character TLD… for “posterity” … and… “backwards compatibility”…

coughs, clears throat, and pushes 💰 across the table

…would make sense.
