Great, another Jan 6th insurrectionist for Trump to pardon as a patriot. Oh wait, they are now going to claim participating in violent insurrection is a bad thing after freeing hundreds of others including rapists and pedophiles? www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

Well done Ireland, Spain, and the Netherlands for boycotting the Eurovision Song Contest.

Since early 2024 the price of gold has been going through the roof - China in particular is buying up huge amounts, one of many countries are that looks to be moving off the US Dollar standard. It is a solid testament to the global lack of confidence in the US economy.

So is the sequel to "The House of Dynamite" going to be "The House of Champagne" or is it just a prequel to the series "Silo"?

By the same logic he's using to justify attacking Colombia Trump should have carried out military strikes on the Sackler family. They contributed to the deaths of over 450,000 Americans in the pursuit of pure and unadulterated capitalist profit over human life, literally mass murder.

What's the bet that Trump's $12T tax giveaway to billionaires benefits them more than the amount they are giving. Assuming they have also not secured a quid-pro-quo from the Federal government such as billions in guaranteed Dell hardware purchases. abcnews.go.com/amp/US/wireS...

I'm glad they are targeting empty tankers but this reminds me of the book "Ministry for the future" where drone and other attacks against the elite's assets (planes and ships) are used very effectively to persuade them to change their policies.

The only drug dealers Trump wants to kill are the ones who won't give him his cut. And he pulls off this extortion in plain sight of his faithful as they sing his praises for being tough on crime.

Testing the fire suppression water pumps at The Strat. They should have waited for close to freezing temps and made some snow! #LasVegas #TheStrat

25 years ago a friend told me about crapflation, apparently it's now called skimpflation. It's right up there with shrinkflation and greedflation - the other ways billionaires fund their super yachts. They should just lump them all together and call them yachtflation. #economics #inflation

More legislation targeting people from Mexico because they are the vast majority of dual nationals in this country. I guess they hope they will decide to leave the US vs. relinquish their birth citizenship. www.wkbn.com/news/ohio/se...

Thank you Costco! www.nbcnews.com/news/amp/rcn...

Completing my employer's workplace harassment training under the new regime feels ironic, sad, and infuriating. Literally every example of unacceptable behavior is regularly demonstrated and cheered on by the regime's leaders and their supporters. Even the EEOC has been attacked and defunded.

It's crazy that in the US alone as of 2023 we spent $72B on GLP-1 drugs for weightloss when we have the of millions going to bed hungry each night. And globally? Surely enough to ensure no one is starving to death... www.theguardian.com/society/2025...

The new motto for Trump's so-called "Law And Order Party" No Criminal Left Behind (Bars) www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

Is there a way in Bluesky to block posts with nothing but hash tags? Seriously I've seen people spamming about twenty hashtags.

Nurse Jackie was entertaining if infuriating until I discovered an intelligent and successful best friend was a drug addict, tried to kill himself multiple times, destroyed his marriage, became estranged from his children and lied to me and deceived me continuously.

I wonder if Jacob ever gets direct feedback from the hotels he dishes the dirt on (in this case quite literally). This review has put me right off Aria and if I was working for them I'd be looking to respond to it immediately. But let's face it most Las Vegas hotels just don't care.

You can bet they hoisted some beers and exchanged hearty back slaps after their killing spree was complete. These are the MAGA superzeros, proud members of the Injustice League.

People peddling this stuff are dangerous snake oil salesmen who you'd normally lock up. They pray on people's appalling lack of education that leaves them to think their self-determination is always better than making a statistically sound harm limiting decision. youtu.be/Vemiqyyk-RA

@moreperfectunion.bsky.social shows how Texas is starting at a tragedy of the commons as private enterprises try to drain shared water aquifers for private profit. A law that supports such a thing is frankly ridiculous. www.youtube.com/watch?v=Rfzw...

This means that if you give your company admin rights to your Android phone (perhaps so you can read work email on it) then they can read all your text and RCS messages. I recommend you keep your phone for your exclusive use and insist they supply a separate work phone for work use.

Many people in Las Vegas seem to think the tallest peak to the East is called Sunrise Mountain when it is actually Frenchman Mountain. The lower peak to the North is Sunrise. This article tells the story of why it is called Frenchman now and how he was actually a fraud from Belgium.

We know many of Trump's emissions on Lies Antisocial are penned by someone else and almost all are typed by some poor sucker because Trump is barely literate in the written word. So we should just ignore them as fake.

When I watch this video of Trump's Thanksgiving I see a room full of power hungry grifters and sycophants who never thank people for giving, they just take what they want. If they are thankful for anything it is for the votes of their compliant base who willingly allow themselves to be robbed blind.

Polybutylene plumbing is all over the place from houses built in the 80s and 90s and is a ticking time bomb. My friend spent many thousands removing it from his house. Hardly surprising insurance excludes coverage for it. www.ktnv.com/news/they-mi... #LasVegas

Given Trump's logic about cartels waging a war against the US you could be forgiven for thinking Mexico and other countries would be justified in drone strikes against the US because we're effectively arming the cartels by failing to stop guns being snuggled across the Southern border.

Tell me you want to kill international tourism without telling me you want to kill international tourism... www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

Sometimes a gelato is more than just a gelato, it's a political statement. 🍉🇵🇸

Nevadans are paying more for groceries than residents in most other states and we’re on track to have one of the most expensive Thanksgivings in history. Many of you may be wondering what the President has to with Nevada: EVERYTHING! Trump promised to lower costs on Day One — and has failed.

I keep saying this... You really need far less than a majority of cars on the road to strictly adhere to traffic laws to get almost all to do so. So I really hope in 5 years there's so many autonomous cars on the roads that we are all benefitting from their more conservative driving.

"Resolved by the House of Representatives (the Senate concurring), That Congress denounces socialism in all its forms, and opposes the implementation of socialist policies in the United States." How ridiculous that 86 Democrats signed onto this bill. Will there be one for fascism too? #socialism

I'm betting she will walk straight into a job at Fox News or some similar MAGA propaganda outlet. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

It doesn't say how this was done but I'm assuming they either had a mole, seized a phone physically, or electronically via malware that let them spy on the traffic or screen. People using Signal for mission critical ops should be extremely careful about how they use it and with whom.

As if we needed more evidence we are living in a plutocracy of billionaires that the autocrat Trump has recruited as oligarchs. Trump snaps his fingers and they fall in line. Reprehensible and un-American. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

Killed two people and he gets only reckless driving charges? Nevada code said if it causes death he faces 1 to 5 years and a $2,00 to $5,000 fine. I hope he gets close to the max and sequential sentences. www.8newsnow.com/news/local-n... #LasVegas

Hey @schumer.senate.gov Thank you for your service but its time for a transition to new leadership. Strongly worded letters will not save our democracy. We need youthful energy, charisma & fighting spirit to revive the Democratic party & win this essential fight. Please step down. #Indivisible

If anyone else had said "Quiet piggy" to a female reporter I'm pretty sure she could have gotten away with an immediate physical retribution such as a bitch-slap or knee to the bollocks. Boarish behavior and abuse of power deserves it. In the meantime @governor.ca.gov gave a visual response...

I saw this headline just after reading another about the White House. My first thought at seeing a building on fire was "OMG that fucker has burned the White House down to distract us all from the Epstein files!"

How quickly the House changed from just having enough votes to being very nearly unanimous for the release of Epstein files shows how slavishly devoted they are to King Trump. He gave the sign and they all complied no longer afraid of offending His Royal Highness. www.nbcnews.com/politics/con...

MAJOR NEWS: Federal judges, including a Trump appointee, just BLOCKED Texas Republicans from using their new gerrymandered congressional map in 2026, ruling it was likely an illegal racial gerrymander. TX must revert to its 2021 map as Trump’s redistricting power grab collapses.

An ex-cop posts a meme quoting Trump saying, in relation to a school shooting, "We just need to get over it" and is arrested and given $2M bail. This guy actually blows something up and is given $100k bail. www.reviewjournal.com/crime/courts...

As hard as I try I'm not seeing a single future where our 8 billion plus planet can continue to sustain itself without mass poverty and starvation of the likes of which we have not seen in centuries.

A research project discovered that of 200 AI startups analyzed 73% turned out to be just repackaging ChatGPT or Claude AI models with a few bells and whistles wrapped around them. In addition they charged huge markups over the basic cost of using those models. eu.36kr.com/en/p/3540030...

Anthropic's AI used to launch a large scale hacking attack against numerous companies. Guardrails intended to stop it were leapt over as easy as a New York subway turnstile. www.anthropic.com/news/disrupt...

My #LasVegas feed is so much quieter now I have muted #LasVegasGP and #F1 It's crazy how many months of traffic mayhem and obstructions we have to put up with for just a few hours of racing and we subsidize it with millions! Can't wait for it to be over and to have the Strip F1 free again.
