Having decided to return to Twitter, or X, I then decided I might as well use it to its best effect, so I have paid for a blue badge to enable me to put up longer posts.
Is he taking the ad money as well?

I’d noticed. He keeps cropping up in my feed. The algorithms seem to think I want to read his drivel.
I am guessing Elon Musk was yesterday’s bogeyman…
Given your description of the Twitter ad revenues the other day, I should think he’s very much looking at the money. Contentious pontification creating ongoing interaction seems to be the name of his game (it’s a good chunk of the content here). Murphy might have worked out how to monetise himself; or his son has, which might point to the next big falling out . . .
No pasarán!
If Richie’s looking at the income stream, AND wants his ideas to be more widely received, he should accept one of the offers he says he’s had to go on GB News.
Will he stick to his principles and keep refusing to go on? They proprietors can’t be as evil as Musk surely.
The beauty of X is, every time he announces “I won’t touch xxxx’s dirty money because I don’t work with neoliberals/racists/misogynists/facists” someone can just pop in a tweet pointing out that “he said that about this platform, but now look”.
@bongo
I doubt he keeps turning down GB news, more like he was asked once and is milking this to demonstrate his principles. That and he knows he’d get shown up and savaged.
For anyone who missed his appearance on talktv…

There’s a good little article in the Speccy about the death of BlueSky: https://archive.ph/GfTps
Something he doesn’t go into in any detail is the very specific reason BlueSky was doomed from the start – it wasn’t just generic deranged lefties for whom Twitter wasn’t enough of an echo chamber.
BlueSky inherited a huge number of tranny accounts, and they quickly turned the site into a cesspit of porn, block lists that target the majority of users on the social media site, and hysterical death threats and hate campaigns, such as the time, over Christmas, when BlueSky troons were trying to get the leftwing journalist Jesse Singal murdered.
Anyway, they’re all slinking back to Twitter, because even though they can’t handle the thought of right wing people and other monsters being allowed to express their views, shitlibs feel certain that *their* opinions deserve the widest possible dissemination. Reeeeee!
I missed yesterday the truly nauseating post
‘What is Hard Left about caring?”
But will be fisking it later on . I think PJF has it. He has discovered idiotic left wing polemics mean money and clearly he is in need of it so that’s largely his shtick for now.
VP – but it’s peanuts. Probably not enough to cover the cost of the electricity?
PJF says: Murphy might have worked out how to monetise himself; or his son has, which might point to the next big falling out . .
Hard doubt on Murphy or anyone he knows being smarter than the algorithm. Twitter seems like an easy place to make money if you’re already a huge celebrity like Taylor Swift or something. In which case you don’t need Twitter. Everybody else is competing with Third World content farms full of mechanical Turks and bots who do this shit for a (marginal) living.
Won’t post the link but this is for those with strong stomachs – the post ‘What Is Hard Left about Caring’
‘I care enough to know that I can never love you’
I have noticed that The Spectator and other further-right publications have described the new political party that Jeremy Corbyn, Zarah Sultana, and others might create as being ‘hard left’.
That’s their own proclamation – not anyone else’s but given Corbyn’s 2019 policies are you implying it’s the centre??
What is hard left about wanting people who have disabilities or who are unable to work to have the money that they require to meet their needs?
Oh Good – looks like the straw men begin early (#1) What is Hard Left is the classification of people into identity groups for purposes of, or as a pretext for, expanding the reach of the state. The housing issue is a sideshow.
What is hard left about hating the idea of children living in poverty?
Again the Hard Left element here is redefining poverty as a means of justifying extensive redistribution of wealth, expanded bureaucracy and greater regulation. All of which increase, rather than reduce poverty.
?What is hard left about wanting people to have the chance to live in their own homes, providing security for them and their families, without being impoverished as a result?
Nothing per se but the question is again how is housing allocated? On the basis of alleged need, which mean we are housing aliens instead of British citizens (with your explicit approval) and rewarding pathological behaviour rather than those who are trying to obey the generally accepted rules of society. The Hard left explicitly house immigrants for the purpose of gaining their votes.
What is hard left about the desire that all people have enough income to make ends meet?
The question is what they have to do to earn that? Should everyone, even those who are pathological gamblers, spendthrifts, drug users, shoplifters, etc – ‘have enough money to make ends meet’ Is your contention the absurdity that is UBI?
What is hard left about wanting public services that work, because they are properly funded and the people who work in them are treated with the respect that they deserve?
The Public Sector is dominated by the Hard Left. It’s impossible to get a job in much of it if one is not Hard Left. Should the government’s job be to keep such a power base funded?
What is hard left about caring about climate change, and the future of our children and life on this planet?
Climate change is used as an excuse by the Hard Left to implement an agenda called Net Zero without the need for democratic agreement or consent
What is hard left about wanting peace?
Doesn’t that make you a Putin supporter?
What is hard left about caring for others, whoever they are?
Yes – your caring for those you deem ‘Far Right’ or ‘neoliberal’ is the stuff of legend
What is hard left about wanting for others what you might desire for yourself?
Everything if it involves taxation levels that are akin to near total confiscation under the appalling pretext that ‘tax is the price you pay for civilisation’
What is hard left about believing in democracy?
You have opposed Brexit and any party you consider ‘extreme right’ for about two decades- your commitment to democracy is at best inconsistent and at worst you equate democracy as being ‘when people agree with me’
?What is hard left about understanding that markets fail, since they very obviously do, and that as a result, we need the state to underpin and regulate them to make sure that they are fair?
The interventions in markets by government have created anomalies across the board. They also justify further intervention and greater state control – the hallmarks of the Hard Left
What is hard left about thinking that everyone should have an equal voice in our society?
Everything if it encompasses people that are her illegally or when certain favoured groups have additional rights the majority do not under the pretext of ‘DEI’
What is hard left about wanting that society be fair?
Everything if your definition of fairness is that you gave control of the state and impose ruinous levels of taxation in the name of ‘fairness’
What is hard left about believing in the state when it is very obvious that we are going to have one?
Straw man #13 – belief that the state is the solution to every issue is the definition of ‘Hard Left’
What, in summary, is hard left about caring?
Caring about the fact that you need power over individual, regardless of democratic results, is very Left wing. Caring about the confiscation of income to fund your pet projects and the agglomeration of political and state power to do that is Hard Left.
Someone from The Spectator, or other right-wing papers, needs to answer these questions, because what they are doing is promoting the opposite.
The notion that the people who push Net Zero, DEI, COVID lockdowns and Grooming Gangs are ‘caring’ would be hilarious if it wasn’t so sinister.
Why would you do that?
What would motivate you?
And how do you think that good outcomes might result?
Because the Hard Left’s record is nothing short of the most murderous in recorder history and it ought to be everyone’s first duty to oppose such evil as that which Corbyn and Sultana represent.
As far as I can see, there is nothing hard left at all about any of the above things. In fact, what they represent are the Christian values and those of other faiths that the right wing of politics claims to be dedicated to. So, what is so wrong with these ideas when a politician actually espouses them?
And espouses the murder of every Jew on the planet?
And why is it that the right-wing makes it so easy to spot the difference between the things that they say, and the actions that they take?
Why is it, as a consequence, that their politics is so laden with hypocrisy?
Speaking of hypocrisy – why are to back on a site owned by someone you claim to be ‘fascist’?
And why is it, as a result, that they are so terrified of people who want to walk their talk, and respect the world and those in it, that they feel they must describe them as hard left?
Anyone saying that Jeremy Corbyn and his acolytes ‘respect the world and those in it’ is either monstrously evil or colossally stupid – or in your case both.
I wish I knew, but I don’t, because their mindset is, as far as I can see, beyond the reasonable comprehension of any caring human being. And I put the emphasis on the word ‘caring’.
The notion that you, the closest embodiment of pure evil in the blogosphere are the definition of ‘caring’ is so twisted that one questions whether you are simply being polemical. Anyone opposing you is certainly by definition someone who cares about the society and wants to recur it from your policies which would result in tyranny probably never before seen in human history.
It’s hard to get monetized on X. There is no chance he will meet the requirements.
