The Brits appear ready to shame the US news media into covering this, distracted as they are by gazing at their own navels ...

Starting February 18, 2027, smartphones and many portable devices sold in the EU must have batteries that users can remove and replace more easily. That means #Apple #Samsung #Google #Xiaomi etc may need to redesign future devices to meet the new rules www.business-standard.com/technology/t...

I try to switch off, but the insanity of Trump et al is like a constant background noise to me. I can't deal with this shit any more, I'm weary of it. So weary...

This isn't normal, America!

There is no going back to something. The experiment failed and is over.

Retired CIA analyst Larry Johnson: During an emergency meeting Saturday Trump tried to “use the nuclear codes” on Iran and he was stopped by General Dan Caine.

According to Johnson:
“There is seriously something wrong with Trump.”

So all he has to do is sack the general in question and replace him with one of his apparatchiks. And a-bombing we will go.
Honestly, this was my fear 8+ years ago. He needs to be sectioned. Can't believe we're still here.

Dr David Bull on Twitter: "Less than three weeks until Britain's midterms. Vote Reform. Get Starmer Out. Reform UK teams hard at work...#TimeForReform"

Britain, like any other Westminster-style Parliamentary democracy, doesn't have "midterms" or anything close to it.

The British right are positively embarrassed to be British and so spend their days wistfully hoping for the time they can proudly claim their new status as serfs of Washington.

... then there was this earlier:
Tice says it's not AI.
It is. AI. 100% 😂

Hi this joke is for me

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.

Make it make sense.

OPINION: "Donald Trump’s presidency is a morality lesson. He is a living example of what happens when a man is given power that far exceeds his character." thehill.com/opinion/whit...

pathological narcissist. A rapist. A racist. With absolutely no desire to even attempt to do the job he was elected to do. Add treason ( insurrection, pandering to Putin).
I'll never understand but then, I'm not American so maybe there's something I don't understand.

Future historians ( assuming there is a future), will debate endlessly as to why Trump was never confronted. Lies weren't challenged in the moment. Why was he re-elected twice, non-consecutive terms? Why was a felon allowed to run. He could have been stopped so easily because he is an ignorant,

Back to the simple natural order of things…….. not human arrogance based on destruction of our water,air, environment for profit…… for the 1%

LOL.

Labour MPs need to realise this isn’t about getting rid of Starmer it’s about destabilising the Labour govt and getting rid of all of you .. for Nigel and his mates ! The media have been on overdrive on this since July 24 .. it’s the latest attempt but not the last !

Hey everybody! I am taking the helm of this classic American institution with @theonion.com and want to know what you fine folks would like to see from us.

This👇🏼. AOC is the only one stating it clearly and plainly. Do I have any faith that the American people will ever elect a woman president someday? No. I hope I’m proven wrong.

Americans need to wake the fuck up and push back.

John Roberts' wife is not the only Supreme Court spouse to shake down people with business before the court to give bribes. Ginni Thomas has a "consulting firm" (AKA a PO Box for checks) to funnel money to Clarence. #Corruption

It’s finally happened. After 18 months. Finally, a media merger you can root for.

💯 🎯

(the midterms can't come soon enough)

BTW, it's not speculation. It's 100% AI.

This photo posted by #richardtice , there's some speculation that it's AI?
😂
Reform are a fucking joke. Never let any of these tossers near power.
#reform

The Infowars news is funny, yes. But more importantly, it is an outright rebuke of Alex Jones' evil.

It's testament to the strength and resilience of the Sandy Hook families who survived this bullshit for more than a decade as well as the Onion, which didn't give up on this for the last 18 months.

Ahh, splendid : )
Well played.
