RAGE!! Little Podcasters with Negligible Need for Rules (or microphones!) After narrowly escaping another week of civil war in America and attempted war in Venezuela, we have a full plate of transforming robots on our ... plate. Starting with our headliner big baller shot caller top cheese program:    Super-God Masterforce (超-神 マスターフォース) [1988] After that, we finish the Battle for Cybertron with parts 3 & 4 of Chapter Three in:    Bumblebee Cyberverse Adventures [2020] Then, we finally, maybe, probably finished the absolute last webisode of:    Cyberworld [2025] On top of all that we talk expensive drugs, Buddhist philosophy, our favorite right-wing youtubers, and our least favorite authors. Oh and i almost forgot - we get deep with the issues of loyalty & betrayal in our recap of issue Nº 27 of the ongoing series:    Skybound's The Transformers comic [2025] Walk with us through the great shining path of giant robot corpses

USA: substitute LNP for Republicans

LNP is our conservative (Liberal Party) and country party (Nationals) coalition. While ALP (Aus Labor Party) is our union-based party. To further confuse things, ALP wears red, and LNP blue. Yeah.

Dutch intelligence services say Russia has stepped up use of banned chemical weapons in Ukraine Two Dutch intelligence agencies say that Russia is increasing its use of prohibited chemical weapons in Ukraine including the World War I-era poison gas chloropicrin

Putin is a child abductor and groomer, war criminal and now using banned chemical weapons.

So for FFS commonsense this fascist dictator has gone through all red lights and the police need to capture him dead or alive.

Lammy urges Reform’s newest MP to ‘get some help’ over ‘conspiracy theories’ During a statement on the Middle East, the Foreign Secretary said Sarah Pochin should ‘get off social media’.

Sarah Pochin is basically getting 90k plus expenses PA to be a moronic wanker.

Can get some legislation in so that a sitting MP needs to forfeit salary and pension for asking moronic questions in parliament.

SNP accuses Reform UK of 'race baiting' over video featuring Scottish Labour leader Anas Sarwar The SNP have become the latest political party to criticise Reform UK’s use of a video featuring Scottish Labour leader Anas Sarwar.

@snp.org

I have a beef that UK/EU politics needs more legislation to protect them in the modern world of social media, foreign influence, large donors and lack of existing legislation.

One UK example in particular particular irks me.
