This meeting is cringe 😬 Each leader has to go around the table and praise Trump Listening to Rutte, what is it that makes Putin so worried about NATO when the general sec is a sniveling Buffoon After all is done, if Russia stop the invasion, I don't care if Trump gets the Nobel peace prize
Probably the most realistic AI video made so far, in terms of content and quality. Other than the ending, that is! #AriK @arikuschnir.bsky.social
Motherfucking wind farms…
#NATO #Rutte #MarkRutte #Trump #Iran This is not diplomacy. This is shameless grovelling. If this is what NATO has become, I am embarrassed to be a European. I am shocked.
Apparently the leader of Qatar negotiated with the supreme leader of Iran. I don't think the 6, 12, 24 hour thing has any truth, but that's what I read before hitting the sack last night.
I understand the balancing act he has to play with US-ians electing a malignant, orange, psychopathic Buffon, but There. Is. No. Way. We. Are. Entering. Another. USA. War Doing so will, categorically, hand power to ReformUK at the next GE Starmer & Cameron, together, will have ruined this nation
Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez calls for Traitor Trump's impeachment for bombing Iran. Because she has more balls than damn near any other Democratic politician.
Quiz. Only one country has ever used nuclear weapons in war. Who was it? Is the world safer with Trump in charge of the most powerful military the world has ever known? No? So should everyone do the same to the US?
Musk will singlehandedly set science back decades with his irresponsible, flagrant and capricious attitude towards human life and our shared planet. I'm so tired of the people that claim private companies drive invention and innovation forward so we should drop regulations.
I find it weird that Brian posts to the other dumpster fire site and then screenshots on here.
I've said it before and I'll say it again... Where are the 2A morons that go on about a tyrannical government? Surely this is it! I'm not suggesting anyone be violent, just pointing out that it was just about them keeping their toys all along. When tyranny turns up, they go quiet.
It's sad to say, but... This is what US-ians voted for. It's not like Trump didn't say this is what he'll do. He was quite clear. And the people elected him to do this. It is shocking to see just how quickly a country can spiral onto a totalitarian path.
I dunno. It's so carefully worded and not and out and out, clear endorsement. I see Thiel and his minions building up to an attempted coup of MAGA and the GOP.
Lol, what? "...Bannon is now invested in this issue..." He said before the inauguration, his goal was to bring down Musk. He has been working hard to get rid of Musk. I don't fear Musk, Thiel, Vance, Trump, etc. But Bannon is a genuine malevolent force. A very scary and dangerous psychopath.
🤣🤣
This will be when Musk turns again, apologises and then fully submits to Trump. Trump will abuse Musk to his face (see Ted Cruz, Kevin McCarthy, etc) and Musk will half smile and say "Thank you for saving the world Mr. president"
I think this is more insightful than it may seem. These MAGA/Thiel minions seem to be stuck in an ever increasing frenzy. It's like they've confused reality with WWE entertainment and the hyper frenzy surrounding them prevents them from snapping out of it.
I was going to say "which one is which" But then realised Elon Husk is clearly an Alien and Donnie Drumpf is clearly the predator.
As a man, I genuinely love it when women throw this back at men. It's a stupid insult in the first place, so good to see it used against the morons that perpetuate the myth.
OAN: trump got a hole in one when he was 3 years old. Newsmax: Trump wins most handsome man of the year award.
To be fair, his brand had been trashed before he joined Trump MAGA world. It started with the kids in Thailand and got worse when his trans daughter came out. He was always hateful, but was able to hide it better.
I hope this is available outside the US. As a 45 year old guy, I'd bloody love to watch old episodes. Can't get myself enough of Burt and Ernie, Big Bird and Elmo.
...Just like Donnie Dump did for fomenting and insurrection... Nothing will happen other than each of them writing a book and making a lot of money from the huge sales in Russia and China.
What or who is mister scan? He might have the answers. Ot it might. I'm not sure.
The most interesting part is the end of the post.... Up to Bessent. He's pivoting to claim this was all SB's plan, not his.
I wonder who the 666th will be and whether anyone would want to be the 666th pope.
USA's desperate and, quite frankly, transparent cling to religion (and by definition, submission to unearned authority) is the root of its downfall.
It boggles how the Repubs and MAGA do not give a crap about children being murdered. This would be dealt with immediately everywhere else.
MAGA cultists are happy with this. They believe Donnie should have everything. And if he wills it, they have nothing. As long as he uses a few swear words and picks on minorities, they're loving it. If they lost their homes, living on the street, they would cheer him on.
Brian Cox ~ The purpose of life?
You know, we hold people that commit crimes during war accountable. Many go to prison and the case is globally litigated. Because they caused so much harm. Why is this not done with people like RFK Jnr? I mean, he'll be responsible for many deaths. Help me out here. What's the diff.?
Am I missing something obvious here? Sky news is explaining why Donnie Dump can't be pope. Like, why he can't for a real, technical reason. Why is everyone going off on them? Is this just a circle jerk bash the news media at every opportunity thing?
It's a good point.... But ... There's always a 'but'... It's a sharp increase and a suggestion of things to come. We need to address this now before we potentially find ourselves looking down the barrel of a Farage PM.
They've given context and provided links. Headline-only readers don't read Reuters. Reuters have provided extra context in the sub headline update thread. They've behaved responsibly here. By bemoaning Reuters here, you give fuel to those that look to push propaganda.
That's a society problem, not a Reuters or news media problem Reuters can't put all context into a headline I understand your frustration, but you're misdirecting it. There are only a handful of decent, genuine and trustworthy news sources. They should be scrutinised, but only when they've erred
Anyone that gets their information from a headline is not someone interested in context. You can't reach them. Hell, the headline doesn't even direct their thoughts, they look for words to get angry about.
The boring white men with money and power… the delusional ones who think they’re fascinating and hilarious… the ones who demonize anyone who doesn’t adore them… They’re killing this country (and us) to get more money and more power. Because they can’t get laid without it.
I paint a picture in my mind as I'm reading something. As I read this, the image my mind drew slowly revealed itself to be Musk.
As a person with Indian born parents, I understand the sensitivity here. I also understand just how critical genuine and trustworthy news sources are right now; Reuters being one of them. Also, the terror attack on Pahalgam was global news. Anyone inclined to read Reuters will know about it.
That's a kind of fair point, but I don't think anyone in the world doesn't know about the recent terrorism. Let me try to be nice but probably patronise you instead. I understand you're probably pretty angry right now about the terror attack. But orgs like Reuters are vital at the moment.
A response can be an attack. Just like the US response to Iraq after 9/11 Whether you agree with the response or not, it doesn't change what it was. Also, Reuters is reporting on what the Pakistani state dept said. They aren't telling you what happened, just reporting with fact checks.
So India attacked elements inside Pakistan, making it an attack on Pakistani territory, meaning... India attacked Pakistan.
I feel bad for their son but not them.
The crazy thing here is, who in Europe is buy Tesla's now? The hopeful, optimistic side of me thinks it's taxi companies. If that's the case, a note to taxi companies. I'm not sure I'd want to get into a Tesla. They're very unsafe and could cost you a fortune.

Nope. They could have access to no water because Trump turned the taps off and they'll still love him. It's mass delusion, cult behaviour.
Brian Greene explains the double-slit experiment on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert.
When Donald Dump does this, watch Hannity and Watters say "See, he's a genius, he completely played China and now we're winning. This IS the art of the deal' And MAGA will drink it all in.
That was no mistake. Trouble in Faux News paradise, me thinks.
This Brit had a message for Americans and what's going on right under their noses right now and went wildly viral www.thepoke.com/2025/04/22/this-brit-had-a-message-for-americans-and-whats-going-on-right-under-their-noses-right-now-and-went-wildly-viral/
For small creatures such as we the vastness is bearable only through love.
How can it be that 8 billion people have less say and control than a few thousand CEOs?
It's amazing how, one year ago, Pool was implicated in Russian backed activities in the USA, and now he's asking questions in the press briefing room. Tim. Pool. It's truly amazing. Tim fkin Pool. The USA is categorically not a meritocracy. It's a kleptocratic, crony, strong man haven.
You can believe in some social policies without being a socialist. There's a lot of merit in mixing socialism with free market - what is a necessity or human right is covered by government, everything else over to free market Full disclosure, I consider myself a socialist, but in a long term sense
I could watch this every day. I think I will. This is spirituality for me. "A mote of dust suspended in a sunbeam" ❤️

Right Now, most of the American can relate to this message from the 90's.
A true inspiration and an early loss for humanity. I still listen and read Sagan. The Pale Blue Dot is one of the most beautiful things I've ever listened to.
3 months into Orange Buffoon's reign of terror and the Dems have started their presidential campaigns. We're all fucked.
My new Gulf of Mexico T Shirt just arrived
...except when I'm WFH, I'm actually working, and usually working harder than when I'm in the office. My WFH days are by far the most productive day of the week. But it's not about productivity. It's all about control. Pathological, obsessive compulsion to control those around you.
Oh MAGA, bless yer hearts.
THE BEST OF NANCY BY ERNIE BUSHMILLER January 22,1974
This is so quintessentially USA In a crisis, a person of power offers another person of power to a public, media hysteria causing, irrelevant face off.
That's because it's run by a grifter, who genuinely, isn't that bright! Felon Musk promising self driving vehicles for a decade (I didn't make this video, but don't know who did so can't credit them). He's been conning his fanaics for years. He does this with everything.
Today this is happening in our country, right now
There it is…
Dems and some independent voters aren't all of the USA The sooner US-ians address the fact that between 33 and 50% of the population are happy with what Presidents Musk and Trump are doing, the better. The country is stuck in a loop and needs to break free.
He has to go all in now. He's done so much harm and a lot of possibly illegal, seriously illegal acts now. A future without a GOP authoritarian of the US could mean some very serious criminal charges.
This!
Gotta correct the media again on something. The administration is not sending migrants to a mega prison in El Salvador. They’re sending human beings to a concentration camp.
Holy crap, when a laissez-faire supporter says this, the world is truly upside down
He’s running the country just like he ran his businesses…..
I don't understand why any news outlet has this guy on. He's not an expert on anything and a public mouth piece for some of he worst instincts of human beings. He doesn't anything about everything. Stop giving him a platform!
There should be a petition to get Victoria Derbyshire a medal for how she handled this arrogant and condescending Trump ally. www.thepoke.com/2025/04/03/v...

More and more, you're coming off like a child these days. Why should anyone apologise to you? This is immature.
Sadly I agree with you. I think it'll get much worse. If I were a democrat or independent, I would avoid running for a position in government for decades. I would hate to be associated in any way with this
I totally agree with this. I think hardcore religion made people very susceptible to a strong man, an authoritarian leader. And the people that pushed it knew what they were doing. The USA population has been the victim of the world's biggest long con.
It does amaze me to witness the fragility of USA's government and institutions. A half baked, very stupid, transparent, door to door grifter so easily took over the most powerful and wealthy nation the world has ever seen, and then destroyed it in less than half a year. Genuinely amazing to see.
Carney: "The old relationship we had with the United States based on deepening integration of our economies and tight security and military cooperation is over."
Ah, the party of personal responsibility. The party of meritocracy. The Republicans, everybody.
Anyone who thinks Pete Hegseth will resign doesn't understand TrumpWorld. They have no shame. They have no introspection. They have no respect for consequences.
CARTOON OF THE DAY
See, it's funny cuz it's true. 🤣 (also: #sad) 😞
Down with the tyrants
They learned long ago that playing dress up didn't further their cause. They learned that putting on a suit and a side parting was far more effective. Banning them pushed them underground and gave them the chance to learn and evolve. We should have combatted the ideology head on, not ban it.
And here we have a man of integrity trying to protect the media and journalists from intimidation and harm. How will the media respond? By denigrating, demeaning and patronising him. Why? Because the media and news outlets bosses don't want to pay tax. What a dumb species we are.
I'm not fan of Chuck Schumer - I think he should retire. But this was a lose, lose situation. His job is literally to keep the government running. He's responsible to the country, which includes making sure civil servants get paid. IMO he did the right but unpopular thing, which is never easy.
youtu.be/k9kmK0St9Jg?...
I'm a big fan of AOC. It baffles me how the Dems don't push her as a future leader. If she were a white male, she'd be sweeping through the USA as a very popular leader picking up support from Dems, independents and even Republicans.
@aoc.bsky.social for minority leader and then president!
“People say you don’t understand how the game is played, do you ?” AOC: I think it’s really great for people to keep thinking that. “You want folks to underestimate you ?” AOC: absolutely that’s how I won my primary.
In these days of insanity, I don't think you're being a productive or constructive voice. The world really is upside down.
