Ahhh dammit there's one thing we've forgotten... We will also need creative solutions. Creative solutions always work. always.

To be fair, that's a cracking looking metro station the Aussies have pulled off there

I'm learning German and recently decided that hand written revision notes were the way to go.... It's all horrifying scrawl, these notes are useless to anyone. I've had to buy narrow lined paper and learn to write again like child in secondary school

It's complicated for sure, and we euros (and Asia) still need the US to an alarming degree. But doing trump once was a shock, twice was a sign something had permanently changed. The US will come back as the leading western power of course, but not the same as before (outside some exogenous event)

Like we can laugh about this, but then you suddenly think fck me this shit is actually real, this could have real effects. Then I start drinking (albeit im currently in Taiwan so that is socially acceptable)

He’s our ersatz ambassador to Ukraine and Belarus —just a “Special Envoy,” not a real one, because no one in the GOPnik Party takes diplomacy seriously at any level.

I assume hes going to be trading sanctions for 'hostages'

She's a complete liability and a clown we totally agree there. An absolute ludicrous individual to lead a serious political party

I'm sure but it's very clearly not 'for millionaires', if you're super wealthy it would have only minor marginal benefit anyway. It would be a helpful way of fixing on of many silly tax cliffs in the UK. I think Kemi is as horrendous I'm sure you do, but this in isolation isn't a terrible policy

It's not really 'millionaires' is it?

Blackbeardsghost @blackbeardsghost.bsky.social · 04/10/2026

That's a ridiculous one too. Should be 10 or 20k

Initially read that as Gondor, and thought even there it would have struggled

Sure they're a dead end and of minimal use outside of niche applications, but they're not to be confused with compact naval reactors, using HEU as fuel... The concept is not THAT bonkers

Blackbeardsghost @blackbeardsghost.bsky.social · 02/10/2026

There are lots of good arguments against SMRs but naval reactors aren't one of them It's a fundamentally different technology, using a different type of fuel, for a very different purpose

A lot of the world's ills would have been prevented if phone development had been halted at the 3310.

It is, but it's more difficult if you don't control your own currency.

I kinda suspect they might throw us a bone on GBP (it's not a big deal for them, and a another heavenly endebted large EZ member a bit of a head ache). Everything else is likely gone though

Blackbeardsghost @blackbeardsghost.bsky.social · 29/09/2026

Well I'm happy to clear things up for you..if the van was full of explosives they would not be out on bail. It's really that simple. For whatever reason you've decided to flail around about that, but that's a you issue I suppose

Blackbeardsghost @blackbeardsghost.bsky.social · 29/09/2026

If you've never heard of The Times that really says quite a lot about you I'm afraid.

Blackbeardsghost @blackbeardsghost.bsky.social · 29/09/2026

So your position now is that The Times newspaper of London is making it up? Jesus let it go. There were no explosives in the van.

Blackbeardsghost @blackbeardsghost.bsky.social · 29/09/2026

Okaaay soo now conspiracy theories and laughing smilies. Well done you. Again if the van had been full of Semtex, they would not be out on Bail. It was not, therefore they are. Happy to have cleared that up for you

Blackbeardsghost @blackbeardsghost.bsky.social · 29/09/2026

It's the newspaper of record in the UK reporting directly from the police. Look you made a silly comment, you didn't understand how the UK works, and now you're reducing to laughing smilies and dening the police have confirmed there were no explosives in the van.

This is not complicated to understand

Blackbeardsghost @blackbeardsghost.bsky.social · 29/09/2026

Mate - we in the UK have a fair bit of experience dealing with explosives cases. If they had found explosives in the Van they would not be out on Bail. What they probably found for stolen fuel. They were charged 'on suspicion of' but on investigation there was no explosive

Russia only reacts to provocation (in this case non existent)... Right ... Right. Jesus wept
