You know who's actually in need of a great #hospitalboat? The deprived and homeless people in #Gaza are.
But no: #DozyDon is not sending a boat to Gaza to offer medical help to those in need. He's pulling off a silly #PRstunt in #Greenland instead.
Fun fact: the #healthsystem in Greenland is fully up to its task without bankrupting people who need its services. Very much unlike the situation in the #UnitedStates.

Seriously, my contempt for this orange buffoon is growing by the day. #resist

Absolutely brilliant campaign from Pressbyran for #Kanelbullensdag in #Sweden . It involved creating a fictitious trade union and a convincing lobbying campaign demanding to move this year's cinnamon rolls day by one day to a weekday.

🤡 Tim Cook's epic love letter to #privacy was basically a grandstand for the ages. 🍏💣 He bravely fought the #FBI with a fiery "nope," while everyone else debated whether this was a #superhero move or just a shiny PR stunt. 🔐✨

What’s that old saying about a broken clock being right twice a day? Maybe this is just a PR stunt from Elon Musk to try and win back the the people that can afford and use to purchase his cars. Spoiler alert: it won’t work. Never forget—Elon is 100% Dark MAGA. #PRStunt #noredemption
