What Elon Musk means, when he talks about freedom of speech, is the freedom to lie without consequences.
It's like a nineteenth-century novel. The old man is insane, but no-one dares to say so, and all around Musk and his followers gather like wolves, eager to snatch what they can while his wealth and power last. It will end in rage and ruin.
America, wake up. Words like 'evil' and 'stupid' are irrelevant: the man is mad. Out of his mind. Deranged. Seeing things that aren't there. He needs to be in psychiatric care. Who among you is going to admit this and take charge of the situation?

In this evening's 'Slow Horses' I saw a face I recognised: the cafe owner was played by Fred Bianconi, Tintin from 'Spiral'. Yes, I watch too many TV thrillers.
I know some of the dialogue's clunky and some of the characters are clichéd and some of the situations are predictable but I like trains at night and I'm enjoying NIGHTSLEEPER and I don't care who knows it.
