Russia doesn’t pay people for that sort of thing, especially not a person like Musk. Instead they extort. Possibly over rare materials.

Anyway I don’t think Russia was part of Musks takeover of twitter, that stemmed from Musks own arrogant stupidity, but they certainly did become one afterwards.

It is actually 62%. For some reason they rounded the real number down in OP’s link.

And even if you did, would they matter?

Also all the porn they found on his computer.

No, it would not get him more votes. The main problem for the Democrats are that a lot of non-Trump voters doesn’t vote at all, not that they are suddenly going to turn Trump voters. There has been a consistent non-Trump majority since 2016 after all.

I think the main problem for the Democrats are apathy and people not voting at all, rather than people actually voting for Trump. The Trump voters will be the same, but they will actually vote.

I don’t understand why this guy can be considered a “top journalist” when he has written several panegyrical books about Putin. That there should be enough to undermine all credit this guy has.

I think it is lack of empathy which helped him gain entry.

Gonna be fun when they have to quietly remove that failed feature again next year, and them trying to cover up how much they lost by implementing it in the first place.

Not quite, because that warrant actually does prevent Putin from going to a lot of countries, and it has made the coward afraid of even going to countries which have openly stated that they won’t enforce the warrant (like South Africa).

Climate impact by energy type in Europe can be monitored live on this site.

No, only if you cross someone higher up, otherwise they are perfectly fine with it. Corruption is the norm, so that just means everyone higher up will have leverage over you if you fuck up. They won’t care about the corruption until then.

It is a hope, but not one connected to any actual reality I fear.

There wasn’t any special clause about “more action movies” in the Miramax scenario, and also the movie market was vastly different in the 1990s compared to now. In the 1990s there was a lot more diversification of blockbuster genres, allowing for the particular type of blockbusters they managed to produce then, but that market is basically all gone now.

Because of how Ireland is situated in relation to the Atlantic polar fronts. UK is basically blocked by Ireland with regards to those, so it doesn’t benefit from them in the same way.

That is quite a benevolent way of saying “garbage qanon nonsense”.

It isn’t necessarily wrong, it’s just two different metrics meant to measure two different concepts.

Could you define “wokeness”?

The favourite disinformation strategy of Russia used against themselves.

I would guess such a post is a pretty useful tool for Putin. Since everybody is corrupt in Russia, and that is an accepted fact, you always have some leverage over everybody with the looming threat of being charged for corruption if you happen to displease the czar.

Well, they couldn’t even type the “f” though.
