Buying policy change 🤮🤮🤮
I am not sure that listening to the Today programme is a healthy start to the day

Plage, golf, mer, villas de luxe... Trump veut faire de Gaza une destination de vacances ✏️ Par Coco
Some people began organising fund raising for the Trump golden mausoleum at Mar-a-Lago
Led by Tim Cook with his gold ingot.
Indeed, a vital signal of rules-based free trade
I wonder how Trump will bypass or abolish grand juries? Make people disappear? Shoot to kill policies? Detention in a camp?
The fun comes when Trump has to repay the illegal tariffs 😁🤡🤡🤡

«Un danger très sérieux»: Lagarde met en garde contre une prise de contrôle de la politique monétaire américaine par Trump
Europe is only safe if its Eastern border is safe. Over the past days, President von der Leyen visited frontline states to reaffirm Europe’s unity and solidarity. Together, we are strengthening border protection, our defence industry, NATO cooperation and support for Ukraine.
When Trump loses the litigation he will have to pay back trillions 😁🤡

News reports of deaths related to AI chatbots should be setting off alarm bells for all of us, writes Common Sense Media founder and CEO Jim Steyer. But the use of AI, including general-purpose chatbots like ChatGPT, for companionship is unacceptably risky for teens, he says.
It's only logical that a government which is trampling on the rule of law at home would also try to undermine it abroad. If US corporations refuse to comply with overseas laws then they should lose their market access, it's as simple as that.
A good read, an interesting case, and a fantastic reminder that the systems regulating international sport are - to be technical - really damn weird.

The odd presumption here is that Starmer has beliefs.
Nedbank is the latest non-telecoms brand to enter the mobile market, launching an MVNO with aggressive pricing.
L’avion d’Ursula von der Leyen victime d’un brouillage GPS à son arrivée en Bulgarie dimanche, la Commission européenne accuse la Russie
It has failed the test, the question is whether it could reinstate the rule of law?
The plane carrying EU top Ursula von der Leyen was forced to land manually after being hit by GPS/GNSS jamming. News texts seem to indicate it was directed specifically at Von der Leyen and the airport Plovdiv. "GPS around airport was knocked out for an hour."
There are two actuarial considerations, the probable death of Trump and the possible death of Farage.

Trump would order someone to shoot Vance, rather than give up power.
A spyware vendor was behind a recent campaign that abused a vulnerability in WhatsApp to deliver an exploit capable of hacking into iPhones and Macs.
It is their non-market strategy, they kow-tow and pay bribes to remain in business.
Farage is copying and is reliant on Trump, a man of failing health and mental accuity. By 2029, the decline of the US economy and healthcare, and with Trump in Arkham Asylum or embalmed in a golden mausoleum, will severely undermine Farage.
Chinese technology firms have focused on developing homegrown chips over the last few years as rising geopolitical tensions between the U.S. and China have threatened to cut off access to American technology for firms in the world’s second-largest economy.
USA - abandoning human rights

Killing soft power to isolate the USA. But why??
In May, Denmark flagged US intelligence agencies gathering information on Greenland’s independence movement and local politics. Now, private actors tied to US strategic aims have taken over the groundwork, operating with little transparency or accountability. #Geopolitics #Denmark #Greenland #News

The Turva ship is a powerful example of Finnish readiness. Ready to deter threats in the Baltic Sea, including from Russia’s shadow fleet. Ensuring that our key infrastructure is protected from sabotage. Grateful to Finland for defending European interests at sea.
The Bank of England is making record losses. The Treasury is paying for these losses, and the sums involved are staggering: Bank of England losses will cost the taxpayer £22 billion a year in every year of this parliament. 📻 @carsjung.bsky.social on @lbc.co.uk 👇

Farage is heavily dependent on the continuation of Trump in office. Yet Trump has declining physical health and mental accuity. By the general election, Trump could be on Arkham Asylum or have been buried.

Do they enter ChatGPT in their register of interests?
"Trump's objective—which is aligned with the interests of certain US technology companies—is to implement regime change in Europe," writes Alexandra Geese, a Member of the European Parliament from Germany.
Comprehensive plan? Is that a final solution?
I do think X is seriously damaging the brains of the UK political class. It's wildly unrepresentative of actual public opinion but is still being treated as such. (Bluesky isn't representative either obviously but no one treats it as such).
An ideal place for Trump to buy
It does not, but the Grifter-in-Chief wants his cut. Defy Trump and he will deny the money.
