It's unbelievable. But this is how the US got to this point: voters voting for the worst people.

Wouldn't be at all surprised if this was part of The Plan: exhaust the US with pointless wars and then go for the jugular.

Do I need to explain whose plan?

OMFG I had to go and check that this ACTUALLY happened.

Since when does the BBC ever do chyrons with a political party's branding, rather than their own? Not to mention this is during a pre-election campaign purdah.

Anyone who pronounces "antifa" like "antEEFA", like it's Latin American, is a cunt.

It's a German word: ANTI-fa. Short for Antifaschismus. Pronounced like ADIDAS. But the cunts get that wrong as well.

I remember when "dropping" something meant abandoning it, not starting it. I don't understand the US any more.

I enjoy every one of his narcissistic injuries.

And RT is putting this out there.
Interesting. Maybe Russia is not the friend the US regime thinks it is.

Those brilliant American warriors are lions led by donkeys.

"an app within the OpenAI chatbot" sounds, from a software dev perspective, like a cool app integration - until you realise it means every bloody marketing department is going to buy access and screw up the user experience (even more).

The main driver of this generational disaffection was the powerful influence exerted on them by Western identity politics and, underpinning it, therapy culture, with its emphasis on victimhood and vulnerability. The influence of therapy culture and the increasing focus on individual psychology and identity have tended to detach young people from the traditional, conservative values of Fidesz. In effect, many young Hungarians hold attitudes closer to those of their Western peers than the older members of their own society.

When I drew attention to the corrosive influence of therapy culture and identity politics on Hungarian society, many in Fidesz assured me that I was exaggerating the problem. They imagined that these phenomena were confined to the West and somehow miraculously stopped at the border of Hungary. Yet a therapeutic, identitarian sensibility increasingly prevails throughout Hungary’s cultural and educational institutions. Invariably, those influenced by it are likely to be drawn to Western anti-traditionalist and anti-nationalist ideals. Supporters of the government appeared to be oblivious to the fact that they not only were facing a culture war – they were losing it, too.

I can't stop laughing at this in Spiked from the head of the MCC think tank (the guys who just hosted Matt Goodwin's speech in Hungary to 17 people and one @jonworth.eu, and whose government funding Magyar just eliminated).

US doctors defend Trump, “This is how we all dress now” Donald Trump has been defended by the US medical industry, with thousands of doctors insisting they all dress now like a deity who dispenses medicine like it’s all a magic trick.

"I'm just contemplating the fact that one moron, one psychotic moron, one capricious idiot, has completely bollocksed up the global economy not only to the detriment of his own people, but the detriment of the planet. ... It's like how much more of this can the planet take?"

Yes no fuck knows who am I NURSE

And half the planet will be cheering with you.

Yeah, just like last time, he won't concede so easily.

Amazing how these amateur "negotiators" couldn't consider the nuclear program something to be worked on over the following days and weeks, but just went "I've got nothing, fuck it.".

Desks, computers, filing cabinets, and office workers are floating haphazardly or stuck to the ceiling amidst red splatters. In the foreground, a large, anthropomorphic blue letter "W" (resembling the Microsoft Word logo) stands calmly holding a coffee cup. A speech bubble from the "W" reads: "Which one of you fuckers tried to move an image?"

Hope of deliverance 🇭🇺 Today should mark the end of Orban’s regime but giving up power is not what authoritarians do. People of Hungary, you are in our thoughts and prayers.

Fox News points out that Trump’s claim about all the Iranian leaders being dead is undermined by the fact his administration is negotiating with Iranian leaders right now

LOG ENTRY: MISSION DAY 1 ​I’m pretty much screwed. ​That’s my considered opinion. Screwed. ​I’m currently locked in a subterranean clean-room laboratory in the middle of the Mojave Desert. The bad guys—a group of generic "international contractors" with submachine guns and very expensive haircuts—have been kind enough to seal the pressure-door from the outside. They also left a chemical timer rigged to a tank of sulfur mustard gas. ​In about eight minutes, this room becomes a very shiny tomb. ​The door is a four-inch-thick slab of reinforced steel with a pneumatic locking mechanism. I don't have the key. I don't even have a bobby pin. What I do have is a roll of duct tape (bless you, Pete), a leaking canister of liquid nitrogen used for cooling the superconductors, and a half-eaten bars of high-fructose chocolate. ​Time to do some math. ​The Problem ​The door’s locking bolt is made of a hardened carbon-steel alloy. At room temperature, it has a tensile strength of roughly 800 MPa. I can’t kick it down. I’m a fit guy, but I’m not a hydraulic press. ​However, steel has a "ductile-to-brittle transition temperature." If I can get that bolt cold enough—specifically below -150°C—the molecular structure changes. It stops being "tough" and starts acting like a piece of glass. ​The MacGyver Constant ​Here’s the plan: ​The Funnel: I need to direct the liquid nitrogen (LN_2) directly into the keyhole and the door seam. I’ll use the plastic wrapper from the chocolate bar, reinforced with duct tape, to create a makeshift cryogenic funnel. ​The Thermal Shock: LN_2 boils at -196°C. When it hits that steel bolt, the temperature gradient is going to be massive. ​The Mechanical Force: Once the bolt is brittle, I need a sudden kinetic impact. ​Execution ​I taped the chocolate wrapper into a cone. My hands were shaking a bit—not because I was scared (okay, maybe a little), but because the air in here was already smelling faintly of garlic. That’s the sulfur mustard. If I smell it, it’s…

I upended the LN_2 canister. The liquid poured through my makeshift funnel. Sizzle. A cloud of white vapor filled the floor. I watched the frost creep across the steel door like a localized ice age. Note to self: If you ever do this again, wear gloves. My fingers are currently screaming at me in a language made entirely of swear words. I checked my watch. Two minutes left. The gas hissed louder. I grabbed a heavy fire extinguisher from the wall. It’s a standard CO2 model, weighing about 20 pounds. "Okay, physics," I whispered. "Don't fail me now." I swung the extinguisher like a sledgehammer, connecting right where the frozen bolt met the frame. CLANG. The sound was like a gunshot. The brittle steel bolt didn't just bend; it shattered into a dozen jagged shards. The door creaked under the residual pneumatic pressure and swung open. Results I stumbled into the hallway, coughing and blinking. I was alive. Total materials used: 12 inches of duct tape. 1 chocolate bar wrapper (chocolate consumed for caloric morale). 2 liters of liquid nitrogen. 1 fire extinguisher (still functional). I’ve still got to stop the bad guys from launching the satellite, and I’m currently armed with a Swiss Army knife and a prayer. But hey, the math checks out. I’m going to go find a Jeep and some more tape. Today is looking up.

In the middle of reading Project Hail Mary, I asked Google's AI to describe an episode of MacGyver in the style of Andy Weir, and it came up with this absolute gem.

I'm laughing my head off.

I want to shock everyone on Instagram with photos of something they've never seen before: fast exposure waterfalls

Yeah, with my fingers crossed behind my back, I might ask him for a fifty so I'll truly honestly vote Reform, honest.
