The frightening thing is that we are in uncharted territory. You can argue the 'old world' merits of using public opinion or realpolitik to guide policy but even those are irrelevant now. Actions are being driven purely by market manipulation, not by any kind of good faith negotiation or diplomacy.

Trump called every reporter in the observable universe, who all dutifully repeated his updates about Iran, and all those updates have fallen apart in fewer than 36 hours.

How long will legacy media keep doing this?

Teflon tights to the rescue!

Imagine being such a massive set of cunts that *Iran* is starting to look like the good guys.

Having said that (and knowing the way of many a Bluesky discussion) I must point out that I am 100% aware that this is not as bad as being killed in a war.

Egads! Yes it's all a knock on effect too with petrol and food and *gestures at everything else* Hoping for a big increase in green energy use here which might offset the damage.

NOT A SINGLE MAJOR NEWS OUTLET IS TALKING ABOUT THE SNUFF VIDEO POSTED TO OFFICIAL WHITE HOUSE AND POTUS ACCOUNTS!

I'm getting whiplash just from reading the news these days.

I'd really like to see leadership calling for impeachment and removal, regardless of whether they have the votes to get it done. Same way we called for marriage equality before we had the votes. A leader's job is to lead. If a genocidal threat isn't impeachable, then nothing is.

trapped in a fucking pod listening to this cunt talk about musing about shutting nasa down

What a fucking indignity to have to suffer talking to that fuckhead after what they have achieved.

do you know how mad I would be if I was ON (near) THE MOON and still had to fucking hear his voice???

I don't know but I wish it would conjure up a nicer reality for us. This one is starting to look a bit too armageddon-y for my liking... 😳

It's the same over here. Just today we had sunny blue skies, followed by gales, followed by horizontal rain, then snow, then back to blue skies before a bit more rain. All in a few hours!

Gorgeous spread! Hope it is/was as tasty as it looks! 😋

Mother Clanger puppet returned to Canterbury after 50 years The original Mother Clanger from The Clangers is now on display at The Beaney in Canterbury.

That trip to the Moon is paying dividends already

That could be an album cover 😍

There was that really shocking bit where the internet misogyny man did a misogyny and then Louis Theroux pulled a face and said "Isn't that misogyny?"
