Whichever communications "Consultant" told UK politicians that the phrase "...and that's why..." sounds authentic and authoritative needs to either undo the damage or face a firing squad.

Obviously a good thing that Trump chickened out again but it should be equally obvious that he needs to be removed from office. Only question is whether he leaves in cuffs or a straight jacket.

Microslop is driving me nuts. Linux experiment has been good im some respects, but I think it's time to order a Mac and kiss Copilot and Onedrive goodbye forever.

How dare her!! 🧐🤨 "When people like Kamala Harris send our sons and daughters, our young people, to fight in stupid wars, it is the young generation that carries the burden of that. We're gonna stop sending our young people to far away lands. We are not the policemen of the world."

Its time to speak the language Trump understands. Make him poor. Freeze all assets held in the EU or friendly countries. Padlock the gates to his Golf Clubs and launch crimimal monry laundering investigations against his family members and close associates. #maketrumppoor

Will British politicians ever realise that normal people have learned to interpret their use of the phrase "...and that is why..." as "incoming bullshit alert"?

Hot take; Poor Donald Trump has succumbed to dementia and evil Stephen Miller has manipulated him into terrible decision making. This narrative allows for a legal removal of Trump, creates context for a GOP move back to sanity and gives MAGA a scapegoat.

Instead of breeding ever weirder designer dogs to look a certain way, do you think we could figure out a way to selectively breed dogs who will eat a breath mint from time time?

Does anyone else have a ten year old who doesn't use gendered pronouns when talking about kids in their class? To the point where it's confusing; like "Florence and Dragomir are in the kitchen. Oh and they're allergic to nuts". If you assume both kids are allergic; wrong. He just won't say "He"

It had to happen I suppose, but so much if my identity was bound up in being really good at Excel, I do find this sad. At least I got to teach my kids the good stuff. Although I might as well have taught them how to shoe a horse, for all the practical value it will add to them. #RIPGETPIVOTDATA

www.theguardian.com/society/2025... 100% agree with this. UK housebuilders are a blight on the country. They should be taxed on the land they're holding back to restrict supply. While we're at it, we need to enforce higher Environmental and quality standards.

Alex Karp (CEO, Palentir) on status tech billionaires like Musk and Bezos; They want to be protected by laws, but not bound by them . They want everyone else to be bound by laws but not protected by them. Highly recommend his book.

As a tree hugging liberal elitist of the worst kind, I endorse this message. Stop buying cats that require the excavation of tonnes of rocks for every kg of battery material. Buy the nicest used car you like. Maintain it well and use it mindfully. Walk and cycle more if you can.

NYT is missing the point. Trump is not showing an interest in "Nation Building", he's just manifesting his long standing interest in "Resort Development"

@flysas.com when you books seats on code share airlines you need to tell the passengers CLEARLY that you have not paid the operating airline, and that they need to. Ideally before the get to the gate for a 3.5 hour flight and find the sest they thought they had booked is not what they got.

Here's how Trump might end Musk, once in power. 1. Borrow from other backers and short Tesla stock. 2. "Save the US Auto Industry" and "End Wokery" by taxing EVs 3. Use his newly weaponised judiciary to jail Musk on "Trumped up" (how apt will that phrase become in 2025?) charges. 4. Cash in

My 12 year old asked me what's the most difficult book on my bookshelf. I handed her the copy of Gödel, Esther, Bach that I have been trying (and failing) to finish for more than 20 years. She's going for it. What's the worst that can happen?

Just got picked up from Zurich airport in a Hydrogen powered taxi. Zero emissions, 500km range and no long charging. Granted, we have to create hydrogen infrastructure and clean refining but we "perfected" fossil fuels and we can do this.
