What’s not forget about the Epstein files. That’s what is driving all of this madness.

Here’s to the Nobel committee for posting this bit of history yesterday

Pedophile Protector AND Putin Puppet #MultiTasking

"There comes a point where we have to start questioning whether or not he’s actually aware of what’s happening around him & the harm he’s doing. It’s similar to historical figures like Nero or Caligula. Their madness took over & they started doing wildly destructive things. Trump is in that place."

Keir Starmer often takes 2-3 days to issue very mild criticism of US actions. This is both direct and issued fast. I think there is a serious risk that the US miscalculated quite what a big deal the Greenland thing is to Europe (and in Europe).

What Europe could do is threaten to boycott the World Cup. It won't. But that might actually work. Trump wants his big show.

More than 200,000 Danish citizens have signed a petition to buy California as a response to Trump’s attempt to take Greenland. They say they will provide Californians with “rule of law, universal health care, fact-based politics, and a lifetime supply of Danish pastries.”

You know people are unpopular when corporate brands come along to personally disavow any connection.

The European Union plans to suspend a trade deal with the United States over Trump’s Greenland tariffs, Bloomberg reports.

1. The tariffs are paid by US consumers 2. Greenland isn't for sale 3. Go f**k yourself

What makes this statement by Emmanuel Macron so unprecedented is, for the first time, a leading European ally is equating Trump with Putin. “No intimidation or threat will influence us - neither in Ukraine, nor in Greenland, nor anywhere else in the world.” EVERYTHING has changed.

Mafia takeover of America complete. Trump has told countries that want to serve on his Gaza Board of Peace they will have to pay $1 billion to be permanent members.

"Give us Greenland or we will increase taxes on American citizens for things that they buy" is such a masterpiece of foreign policy. (via ‪@usapolling.bsky.social‬) #AmericanSucker

Europeans leaders need to really just say that Trump is batshit crazy with this Greenland thing. It's obvious now that all attempts at diplomacy with this person are futile, and that having given in to him before, he just thinks he can keep bullying them.

Wondering at which point more people in the UK will think “actually, maybe being part of the EU rather than getting closer to the USA was a pretty great place to be”.

My laptop is on macOS Tahoe (so I can support our customers), but my main Mac remains on Sequoia, because I don’t like Liquid Glass and some of the functional changes in macOS Tahoe. I was tired of Apple's Tahoe-related prodding, so... robservatory.com/block-the-up...

This map exposes the Greenland lie. The US used to have a massive military footprint here. Today, they operate just ONE base. If Trump were actually worried about Russian vessels, he would simply open more bases, which Denmark allows

you know this guy is a FOR REAL photographer because he's telling the story of his brutal, unconditional arrest by federal goons and can't help but slip in a gear review

One of these sites is run by Apple fanbois.

Here's the message: Trump is terrorizing our communities with a campaign of inhumane un-American ICE brutality - and he's paying for it by raising health premiums on 20 million Americans. Effective because it's 💯 true.

This guy is basically inviting China to take Taiwan.

im sorry what

Democrat leaders looking for "creative ideas" to fight ICE, I've got a crazy one called "go outside to where the shit is actually happening."

Pspsps.

NEWS: Canada just checkmated the United States. Breaking with the U.S., Canada has struck a major deal with China: Ottawa will cut its 100% tariff on Chinese electric vehicles in exchange for dramatically lower tariffs on Canadian farm products.

If they do that, I will stop paying the TV license. www.theguardian.com/media/2026/j...

In April 2024, Spotify implemented a new scheme: songs with less than 1k streams per year would no longer receive royalties. The data for 2025 was just released via Luminate, and 88% of songs have been demonetized. Read it again: 88% of songs on Spotify have been demonetized.

ice vs ICE — a desperate spin

"Papers please"

How fossil-fuel fetishism has us behind in energy: "I don’t think China is eating our lunch, per se. I think they made their own lunch. The nation invested in the kitchen, hired better chefs, refined its recipe year after year, and turned its offerings into something people like me genuinely crave."

The total NSF budget was 9 billion. I doubt they spend 89% of it on quail.

This is not a paraphrasing. This is the transcript:

67% of Reform MPs have previously been elected as representatives of the Conservative Party. They broke the country last time; do you trust them to fix it?

"Look. don't provoke Trump and his circle, else they will invoke the Insurrection Act." Trump and his circle want to invoke the Insurrection Act anyway, one way or another. Just a question of how and when. Appeasing them ain't going to work.

I've never quite got over someone on a very old style "message board" typing the phrase 'couldn't stand him - he was a right pre madonna' and wondering why it all went a bit quiet.
