Dear companies who went all in on AI: We don’t want it, we don’t like it, you can’t force us to embrace it and it’s not our fault you invested so much into it.

Westminster wouldn't save Grangemouth, but is willing to spend £1.3b on a theme park in England

Are Unionists happy with this? have you had enough yet?

#YES

Whoa! The West is a brutal reminder that you can’t negotiate with climate change.

70% of the West’s water supply depends on mountain snowpack. This year, record warmth and the “March Meltdown” turned that natural reservoir into a trickle.

Farmers are leaving fields unplanted, cities are imposing restrictions, and wildfire season is here.

All that while Trump and Republicans not only pretend climate change isn’t real, their policies are making it worse.

Non ho mai scritto a riguardo della raffineria di alluminio ad Aughinish in Irlanda; pensavo erroneamente: quanto alluminio può mai produrre l’Irlanda per la Russia?

Mi sbagliavo. La raffineria di Aughinsh, posseduta dal colosso russo “Rusal” (posseduto dall’oligarca Deripaska) produce un terzo di tutto il (poco) alluminio ancora prodotto in Europa. Tutto questo alluminio è trasportato in Russia dove viene usato per nutrire lo stesso complesso militare industriale che rade al suolo le città ucraine facendo stragi di civili.

Ma lo scandalo è ancora maggiore di quello che potrebbe sembrare: che le sanzioni europee non siano affatto complete e permettano ancora tali follie non era una novità. Quello che personalmente mi ha scandalizzato è il modo in cui i politici irlandesi, incalzati dal bravissimo reporter Caolan, neghino che la raffineria abbia una qualche connessione con il complesso militare russo, nonostante tutto, a partire dalle insegne fuori dalla struttura, porti a tale conclusione.

Questa roba deve finire all’istante. La raffineria va sanzionata, chiusa e basta.

Farage is in trouble for his incitement to violence so he gets his mates from across the pond to pitch in.

Apparently Democrats cheat in every election except 2016 and 2024, strange!

Just so we're clear on how absolutely stupid the British Government is.

When a petition is signed with over 2 million people saying No to Digital ID, it gets ignored.

When 9000 people answer an online, unadvertised survey, suddenly it's "overwhelming support".

I’m constantly amazed at how Republicans keep pretending that this isn’t the dumbest motherfucker who ever lived.

I have no sympathy for someone who voted for Trump 3 times and now their farm is going out of business.

The Israeli army has just shot a 7-month-old baby dead in Gaza.

His name is Sam Fahd Abu Haikal.

This is what they do. This is who they are.

[Andrew Feinstein @andrewfeinstein]

It is embarrassing how Americans are doing nothing about the total corruption of their political system. It’s as if being a criminal, captured state doesn’t bother them, or not enough to do anything meaningful. It is the apathy of the majority that will see America’s continuing rapid demise on governance, foreign policy, the rule of law, justice & equality

266,000 jobs under Biden:
“slowed”
“muddled expectations”
“fell short”

172,000 jobs under trump:
“upswing”
“vigorous”
“strong sign for economy”

This is the double standard Dems have had to deal with for the past 10 years.

Ossoff: Last September, the President of Kazakhstan calls Donald Trump and says he wants to grant tungsten mining rights to an American company. And the very next month, Eric and Don Jr. get a stake in the American company pursuing the mining deal.

Six days later, six days after Prince Eric and Prince Don get their stake, Kazakhstan announces this company will get, “The largest known undeveloped tungsten resource in the world.” A few more weeks go by, and then the U.S. government, run by their father, sets aside 1.6 billion of your tax dollars to fund and finance their mining project. In Kazakhstan.

All this while you pay more for gas, for groceries, for health care, and that's just the tip of the iceberg.

America probably is stupid enough to elect Erika Kirk as their first woman president

[Steven Beschloss @StevenBeschloss]

You’re trying to pay for your gas and groceries and this guy is literally sitting in the White House stealing your taxpayer money by the billions to put in his own pocket.

Israel executed baby Sam today with a bullet to the face in the occupied West Bank.

They killed his mother too.

Sam was only 7 months old.

They murdered a mother. And her infant.

86% of Americans want this. But Republicans block it every single time.

Farage wound you all up, lads. Then off he popped to his private club for a spot of lunch and a few glasses of the finest wine.
Then Tommeh set you off, spoke for 15 minutes to make sure you were really, really angry. Then he buggered off as well.
And now there you all are, waiting for the knock on the door as the cops go through all the footage your pals the "auditors" took.
You will do the time.
They riled you to do the time, and will walk away scot free.
They're laughing at you. All of you. Without you, their money-making scams would never work, and they would have to get a proper job instead.
Don't forget to send your money to Tommeh next time he has a little drama, though, will you?
