Thread. Trump says he "called off" his "very major attack" on Iran today "hopefully forever", because the Gulf states asked him to, and "big negotiations" would happen. While Iran says talks continue through Pakistan, they didn't say anything about "big" negotiations. They also insist their demands

Also: The American flag on the Trump phone is not (!) the American flag. It only has 11 stripes. This is not some pedantic remark here, the 13 colonies are the foundational starting point of the US. It's 13 (thirteen)! Not 11 (eleven)! But the Chinese don't know that of course.

The claim for the Trump phones was: All American made. Produced in the US, all parts made from US manufacturers and an US design overall. Now they backtracked on that; it's made in China, not unique (it's a Chinese design) and the parts are also made in China. "America First!", eh? Ugh.

Our superpower, as humanists & progressives, is we don't forget. We can't be gaslit. We organize and we bring their shit behavior up whenever possible. That's why the media pisses us off, because they're submissive to the fascists; they don't ask follow ups and they always just take in the insults.

The "anti-woke" guy, who relocated his family to Russia and joined the Russian military to "expedite" the naturalization of his family, is apparently still alive. At least that's the last info we got from like 5 months ago. So if he's still alive, he won't be for much longer against the drones.

I entirely believe Trump would read it exactly like this: www.youtube.com/shorts/bviSh...

Looked into buying a Playstation 5, because GTA 6 will be released on consoles first (of course). I am a PC gamer, not console. But for GTA 6 and a few videos I wanna make from it, I think about it. They really want you to pay for multiplayer in perpetuity. Fucking rip off! I ain't gonna pay that.

A couple of industrial and military buildings are burning in Moscow now. They were hit by Ukrainian long range drones. Putin might be able to cut the Russians off from the internet, but he can not hide the black smoke billowing into the sky above the main capital of Russia. Everyone sees and knows.

He could have been a good guy. Instead he became a criminal, a thug, a felon, a rapey piece of shit. And he's president, twice, which is a brankruptcy statement from his followers.

When the time comes, they'll probably hide where they buried him... ... otherwise it would become the world's most used public toilet. (And isn't it depressing that you know exactly who I'm talking about?).

Trump's takeaway of his China visit was not support for his war in Iran, or to sway him from taking Taiwan... ... but that Xi has a Ballroom, and Trump doesn't. That's what he's concerned about.

Gina Carano attempted a comeback. And it, predictably, didn't go as planned. An essay of mine:

I want you to remember: It was not a Republican who freed the election fraudster Tina Peters. It was a Democrat. As a German, looking at this from the outside, I wonder: What are the American voters supposed to make of this? Who can they actually vote for that would be willing to fight for them?

Judge Matthew Barrett explained during the sentencing why Tina Peters needs to go to prison. Because she thinks she had the right to rig the election results for Trump. And that, given the chance, she'd do it again. Now after the Colorado governor commuted her sentence, she'll get that chance.

Colorado's Democratic Governor commuted Tina Peters sentence due to pressure from Trump. This governor is one of the very few very powerful democrats in the country... and he's weakness personified. Those politicans are among the reasons why the US is a nation in decline.

Yeah, we have a racist troll among us. Same procedure as always: First report for trolling, then block. @brian4nu.bsky.social

Xi had the balls to do what your own cabinet and Republicans won't: He told you that you fucked up. Royally. You not wanting people to believe he talked about you, is not the same thing as him not having talked about you. Because he did, you delusional moron!

In a former life, I was educated as a "Hotelman" (with certificate and all, so if I find an apropriate real estate, I could just open a Hotel without doing all the certification stuff. I already got that one), and I had the morning shift (early morning; like being on my post at 4 am). One of the

When Putin dies, the entire US "conservative" (read: Fascists Russian shills) comentator network on youtube and twitter will collapse. Trump isn't going to pay them a single cent. Orban is gone, so that is among the reasons why some of those right wing influencers lost up to 85% of their revenue.

Now an ideologue bought the parent company of CBS... and now CBS Evening News is dying. Any guesses why?

The Quest 3 has... hm... "retired" the Quest 2 as the most used VR headset on Steam (28.58% as opposed to 22.09% for Quest 2). The Quest 3S (basically an updated Quest 2) is No. 3 with 12.98% usage among Steam users. The very own Steam Valve Index clocks in at 11.77 on place No. 4. I still see

Yesterday, US war commentator and staunch supporter (also materially, not just by talking) of Ukraine, Jake Broe, turned 42. So you are the answer to life, the universe, and everything. Happy belated birthday, Jake. You are a hero for your support and help of Ukraine! @realjakebroe.bsky.social

Trump is in China not to repair the tariff damage to ease trade and make everything cheaper, he is there because China is corrupt and Trump wants money. That's what motivates him. He is there to see how much China is willing to pay him to forgoe America's interest in Asia.

Let me guess: Nobody is going to do anything about it, right? They can just steal from people and it's fine. It's okay. Yeah, sure, FAFO and all, but imagine it's you. Imagine they found a way to steal from you. How do you get them indicted? How do you get your money back? youtu.be/YrvQKiTrRV0

It's hard to fact check that, so take it for what it's worth (probably not much if it can't be corroborated, which will take some time I guess; but it'll all come out eventually), but I heard rumblings that far right and outright fascist youtubeers, you know, guys like Tim Pool, Steven Crowder,

The crazy thing to me with Putin, Trump and Xi is: They are older than street-dirt. All are well over 70. Trump, the oldest, isn't where Xi and Putin are: Governing over a total dictatorship. What is he aspiring to here? And how long does he think he still has? And then what? Hiding from the

Nintendo's "Virtual Boy", a stereoscopic "videogame console" (looked like a shitty VR set, and it actually was just that) had some surprises under the hood. When you open the device, you'd expect to find a red LED matrix-screen for each eye, but that doesn't exist in this device. What does exist is

They make it out as some act of heroism. But what Mathias Rust stated back then, made me (even as a kid) think: This guy is nuts. Literally. Something is not right in his head. Years later, Rust was arrested for attacking a young woman with a knife, who rejected him. www.youtube.com/shorts/KzzY5...

Oh he said that the other day. He said he "doesn't think about the financial situation of Americans". This pathetical weasel thinks he has a chance to become the GOP candidate in 2028?

I have seen a series of drone footage, where anti-person drones, remote controlled, hunt for individual Russian soldiers. You don't see gore or death or anything, but when the videofeed cuts out, that is because the drone exploded. The surprise and fear, the realization: "it is going to happen to

"The Punisher: One Last Kill" is as brutal as The Punisher always was. I always thought Jon Bernthal to be physically too small to actually portray Frank Castle - in the comics he is between 6'1'' and 6'4'' depending on who wrote it - and Bernthal's 5'10'' seems rather petite in comparison.

I hear Trump dozed of again, this time on foreign ground. Whatever it is with him, I don't think he will survive for much longer. The other day he couldn't walk straight, then he demonstrated once more at a presser how far his brain is already demented. Not long now.

It won't help them. They're still bound to physics. It is possible to reach every single bunker in the world. They can not dig deep enough if one is determined to smoke them out of that rathole. No bunker in the world could withstand several hundred kiltons exploded on top of it. There is no escape.

This will be implemented later this year. Probably the only really useful thing coming out of Nvidia's DLSS 5 update (bar this AI slop for which they got raked over the coals for weeks). It compresses textures on an insane level, which makes older cards, like the 3060 12 GB, feel like a much newer

The world would now be a much better place if Kamala would be president now. The US is, or was, this consequential for all of us around the world. But it loses significance and influence due to the neo-fascists being on their powetrip thinking "might makes right" will gain them prestige and image.

I really don't understand how the "Toasty Bros" (a hardware testing youtube channel) could become so successful. They mostly just bullshit their way through the tests they make, and come to quite a lot of wrong conclusions. Like when they tested the 5060 Ti 8 GB against the 16 GB version, they
