If there's one thing I know about Americans it's that when they say "bullshit" they mean "utter poppycock, twaddle and codswallop."

If it discourages Trump from coming to London, I'm sure most Londoners would be fine with him staying deluded.

They can’t be that incompetent

Have you seen these billionaires? They absolutely can. The myth of their competence is pure propaganda.

Also, they like corruption because it offers many opportunities for those with enough money to pay. And they like oppression of workers because it provides a ready pool of cheap labour to exploit.

They'll be looking at Russia and liking what they see, because they don't see themselves being the ones working for pennies and being sent to die in Ukraine. And they all think they're the smartest guy in the world ("why else would I have so much money?") so they don't see themselves being fucked over by Putin either. For them Russia is the promise of doing whatever you want, taking advantage of whomever you want, and getting whatever you want.

What a coincidence that the MAGA USA's policy towards Europe is almost indistinguishable from Russia's!

The font was chosen in an effort to make documents easier to read for the vision impaired.

So It's Republican policy that the government must not, even in the smallest way, make life any easier for disabled people? And the government must not do nothing and leave in place something that already makes life easier for them, but must actively intervene to make it harder? Of course it is, but what the fuck is wrong with these people that they dedicate their entire life to getting into government so they can punch down and hurt others? How have they not even accidentally stumbled into being better than the worst they can be?

The aging sea lion enables the Stephen Millers to go about their nasty business while everyone is looking elsewhere. That's one way he's dangerous. The other is that he's a threatened malignant narcissist with dementia and diminishing impulse control, and one of the world's most powerful armies.

First you need to put the non-rich in charge and prevent them being bought off by the rich. That's the hard part, but not impossible.

Until version 8.8.7 of Notepad++, the developer used a self-signed certificate, which is available in the Github source code.

That doesn't sound wise.

It depends on their relationship with the social media companies. There's a good chance companies like Meta have already given the authorities a lot of data on their users. US law enforcement might already know about some of your accounts based on your identity, and then claiming you have none might not work well.

I wouldn't mind so much if they were giving their own arms and legs, but they seem to be giving ours.

Ultranationalist Israeli politicians, including National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir, wore golden noose-shaped lapel pins to a meeting on Monday in order to show their “commitment” to advancing a widely condemned bill to mandate the death penalty for “terrorists” who kill Israelis. The pins resemble the yellow ribbon pins that Israeli leaders have worn throughout their genocide to to…

A recent report, co-authored by the Palestinian Youth Movement, Canadians for Justice and Peace in the Middle East, Arms Embargo Now and World Beyond War, identified hundreds of shipments of Canadian-made F-35 fighter jet components, other aircraft parts, and explosives and flammable materials to U.S. facilities that supply the Israeli military. The report also highlighted 433 shipments of Polish-made TNT routed through the Port Saguenay, Quebec to U.S. army ammunition plants that make bombs used by Israel in Gaza.

The report stated that “by deliberately exempting U.S.-bound arms from export regulation and allowing Canadian infrastructure to transport weapons, Canada is circumventing its obligations under international law.”

After being pressed by reporters, Persad-Bissessar admitted on Friday that at least 100 marines were in the country, along with a military-grade radar, believed to be a long-range, high-performance AN/TPS-80 G/ATOR, which the US defence company Northrop Grumman said was used for air surveillance, defence and counter-fire.

The prime minister claimed the radar installation in the country, which is only seven miles away from Venezuela at its closest point, is part of a counter-drug trafficking strategy, and that she had withheld details in the interest of national security and to avoid alerting drug traffickers.
