This is marketed at a very specific kind of twat.

The "that's useless" people are often doing nothing at all.

A dilemma action is a strategic action that forces your opponent into a lose-lose situation.

You've given them only bad options.

I give some examples

This one's pretty important.

Read and share, please?

Could have been the start of a far better story, Imo. Chuck in some wizards, or time travel or something...

Gil Duran tweet: TLDR: Fascism in response to Palantir's long fascists screed on X.

"Your Account is Suspended" Message on X

The CEO of Palantir posted a fascist manifesto on X.

I pointed out that it was fascist—which resulted in a permanent suspension from X (my second time!).

So, when you hear the tweeters complaining that BlueSky is intolerant, remember why many of us came here in the first place.

Keith is on live issuing the longest and most turgid "dog ate my homework" ever.

This isn't the valid excuse he's making it out to be. If true, why is his own government keeping things like this from him? What is it about him that makes people hide things from him?

Trump has always been narcissistic. This destructive urgency is new The President is checking off almost every item on the bucket list of the late-era autocrat

"Truump has been proven correct not to worry about constitutional checks and balances. He assumes, correctly, that Republicans will let him get away with anything – and, given he was re-elected after inciting the January 6 riots, he has good reason to assume his voters won’t punish him either."

The insider trading suspicions looming over Trump's presidency The BBC has found a pattern of spikes in trades ahead of public announcements by the US president.

The White House is engaging in market manipulation and insider trading but since it de facto runs Congress and the SEC what would be the levers to do anything about that?

"We're all heading out to lunch, Sue. Let us know how everything will work when we get back."

While Orban has been defeated in Hungary, Bulgaria has stepped up to fill the gap. In yesterday’s election, a big win for the pro-Russia, Eurosceptic party Progressive Bulgaria led by former President Rumen Radev.

It opposes support for Ukraine and wants to reopen ties with Moscow.

Should have sent JD to Bulgaria.

Damning stuff.

Israel's hegemonic ideology is Kahanism: pursuing a Jewish non-democratic one state where Palestinians are subjugated, expelled or dead.
Some say this is an inevitable continuation of Zionism, others that it is a corruption of Zionism.
I disagree with both accounts, but don't mind either.

Stabbings, kidnap threats and arson attacks: how the Iranian regime targets UK journalists Staff at outlets critical of Tehran have faced chilling intimidation and violence, amid calls for greater protection and support

Iranian journalists in London “say they fear for their lives after a recent spate of threats and physical attacks,” and I’m willing to bet the regime is leveraging digital attacks against critics too. www.theguardian.com/global-devel...

Well I guess they should have focused on that pivotal "10%" if that's what it was going to take to win. Parties convince voters, not the other way around. That's the only way that scales to success.

Suspicious goose: which views? WHICH VIEWS MOTHERFUCKER

"sure you might disagree with 10% of her views..."

Is he pre-gaming to already be a shit candidate, because that's what it looks like. Too soon, Cory.

A large white waterfowl with orange feet stands in front of a door. On the door is a cardboard sign secured with tape that reads, "DO NOT LET THE DUCK IN." Adding insult to injury, I think the duck might be a goose.

Whatever you do,

UK now has several Palantir contracts through Mandelson and now Keir Starmer is trying to pretend he had no idea how bent the guy is.

Starmer would have blocked Mandelson role over vetting failure, says Lammy Deputy prime minister says it is ‘inexplicable’ top civil servant kept Downing Street in dark

“Sure, we knew about his shady business links and friendship with the world’s most notorious sex-trafficker and all the other publicly available information. But if we’d known the security services thought that was ‘a red flag’? Heavens no. Not in a million years”

Lol, go tend to your other Reform party sock puppet accounts, they're feeling neglected. Twat.

Israeli former general Ya'akov Or: "Jewish violence, terrorism, and pogroms are a brutality that taints every Israeli, left and right. These are metastases that will spread until the disease is terminal, and it is critical to stop them while possible."

Reports of a third attempted arson attack on Jewish targets in North London this week. It's getting really scary and more people need to start taking it seriously.
