Sat down to write a list A to-do-list allows me to export all the things I haven't done to the list Very cathartic Sometimes I use highlighter pens to make it more likely that I'm going to do it ( . .or not!) I think this is why Catholic Christians go to Confession Doesn't work Oh well Feck
just saying . . . . ‼️ 🏴🏴 Starmer 🏴🏴🏴 🏴🏴 Farage 🏴🏴🏴 birds of a feather
Is the reincarnated Trump aware that the USA is already a "Third World Nation" ? Why, because . . . ◾no universal healthcare ◾decreasing life expectancy ◾tin-pot dictator, corrupt junta ◾guns & school shootings ◾crooked elections ◾religion unchecked ◾street kidnappings ◾wild inflation
Starmer could have said: Vandalism isn't patriotism; daubing red crosses on Chinese takeaways and writing racist graffiti isn't patriotism; perfomatively sitting in front of a flag or tying one to a mosque isn't patriotism; Patriotism is about making this country safe, happy productive for all.
Someone in the White House just threw a whole load of synthetic fiber tests out of the window.
Correction: "The #PedoRapist, RFK Jr, Stephen Miller, and John Roberts are the 4 most dangerous men in the World today." Why, because all the rest of us in the West, for the immediate future, are part of the American Empire. But Trump is wrecking USA and then we will be free.

This is an INSANE decision by the E.U. “By signing up to mutual recognition of vehicle standards with the U.S., the E.U. has waved the white flag on road safety. This is not a technical detail – it is a political choice that puts trade convenience ahead of saving lives.” This will kill people.
European cars are currently safer for people (pedestrians, cyclists, other drivers) than American cars. But Trump seems to have bullied the EU into lowering their standards down to the US level. Shame. No economic growth is worth this!
Boycott !!
correction: "This is how small feels. From a child’s height, American cars aren’t machines, they’re monsters."

Maybe Biden used an autopen, but Trump's ghost has an ouija board.

📌Wow, what a thread from Dan @dantheclamman.blog , more than 200 posts long !! I've heroically managed to scroll up to the beginning and have reposted no(4) here so that you all don't have to do that scrolling. I'm going to read it later📌 Thanks Dan.
Eek. New American horror !! What next? Vance as President?
Modi was infuriated by Trump claiming that he'd "solved" the conflict between India and Pakistan... when in fact he's as ignorant of that history and current relationship as he is about everything else on the planet. As usual, Trump turns everything to shit. Too little too late, guys.
Why is Labour still on X-Twitter when its owner is pushing out xenophobic rabble-rousing lies like this?

💯%. I've come to accept how morally depraved Donald Trump is. But I'll never get over how blindingly imbecilic he is. www.huffpost.com/entry/trump-...

rabbits for Trump
BREAKING: EU Commission to ban ⁰Fahrenheit, the US gallon, yards/feet/inches and pounds/ounces in pushback against Trump's non-tariff barriers. Imports labelled in these units will face 55% tariff during three month transition period.
Northern nations in Europe and America need to accept that they need to accept the northward drift of populations fleeing from climate change. Northern nations might think about their ageing populations. All sorts of policy ramifications. Agree?

Must've asked Trump for help tackling crime on the streets of Caracas. Where next, Copenhagen?

Labour and Reform seem to share the same obsession – demonisation of immigrants and immigration. But Reform have the luxury of not being in government so they can make wilder implementation proposals.
Pick up the water companies for pennies when they go bust. Issue bonds to buy the rest.
Are questions 1, 2 & 4 are just there to provide camouflage for question 3 ?
THIS IS NOT A DRILL: Donald Trump has now said, two days in a row, that he’d rather be a dictator if it means “stopping crime.” That’s not a slip of the tongue. That’s conditioning. He’s trying to train you to accept fascism as “safety.”
They all are desperate to win Trump’s approval for the day by degrading themselves with outrageous Trump flattery and platitudes. They are all sickly sweet to Trump. They are required to praise their childish leader.
Another successful cabinet meeting with Dear Leader
National Guard is litter-picking. Bad dudes are shooting up schools. Way better to have the National Guard round up anyone carrying a gun. Shithole country. Don't go there.
Spot on Gavin. Trump is such a moron that he wouldn't realise that the tap (fawcet?) wouldn't work at the top of the dam.
President Trump said: “Zelensky is not exactly innocent either. It takes two people to tango.” No, Mr. President, that’s not true. Russia is the only aggressor — it launched the full-scale invasion, destroys Ukrainian cities, and kills civilians.👇
Do any reporters ever ask him why he says shit like this when it was Putin who invaded Ukraine, and not the other way around?
And the so-called "party of small government" sits idly by... Hello?
A new verb just entered the lexicon. *To Witkoff* - to obsequiously flatter someone in such an overtly embarrassing manner that onlookers squirm with 2nd hand embarrassment. Example: Did you see that Witkoff guy witkoff the President?

JD Vance is also a moron
UK politicians - are you reading this?
One of the downsides of journalists knowing as jack shit little as the politicians they’re interviewing
The chimney pots in the foreground – I like drawings with a bit of architecture in them. And the train, going fast.
Excellent from @bearlypolitics.co.uk Fact packed and spelling out the honest political message “We have listened to your concerns that migration is too high, and we are willing to act on it.” BUT www.bearlypolitics.co.uk/p/britain-ha...

Yes !! but why did this take so long?
what trump claimed: “They gave me $600 billion. And that’s a gift,” what the EU said : “E.U. companies have expressed interest in investing at least $600 billion” in “various sectors in the U.S.,”
It's up to us in Europe now, isn't it ?

The Sultan's whole train was smaller than JD Vance's massive assembly of SUVs driving through Cotswold villages. I bet the Sultan was way less booed than Vance.

I really like black pudding. I'm a black pudding tourist if the truth be told. I like Scottish bp of course. I haunt butcher shops in rural northern England - "is this your own make?", some wonderful tray-bake bp. French and Belgian boudin noir is yummy. But I avoid Scandinavian sweetened (why?) bp
Nailed it. 🎯🎯🎯

The struggle is real
Look at this brilliant clip from the National Library of Scotland showing an Orkney Library Book Box being filled to go to the island of North Ronaldsay in 1957. The Family Box service started in 1954 and continues to this day, serving customers in North Ronaldsay, Papa Westray and Graemesay. ❤️
There are so many countries which must take a long hard stare at this, and realise that they must do better!
Here come the ol' Wisconsin Central, lickity-split from Colby to Boom Island.
Ooof.
Anyone who still supports fossil fuels in an escalating climate crisis will not get into heaven. Who will tell Trump?

Is it time for Europe (and the rest of the world, the countries that have health services) to re-absorb the descendants of the people who left to settle in America?

Yes, happy days with Linux !!
Yes, that's sound advice. And that's what I did! I installed a recent LTS Mint distro on my Thinkpad T460. And thinking back, I think my printer issue was after I had a go at installing Linux Lite on a v old ThinkPad X61s - I'm going to wipe it and see if it can handle a light Mint or Ubuntu distro.
I'll have to experiment and report back (or ask for help?) when I get nearer to making the final switchover.
