People love to list useless things done by Roman emperors, namely Caligula’s declaring war on the sea. But a technocrat “conquering space” w/an 11 min 🚀 flight carrying a brigade of rich female celebrities—when ticket $ combined are worth the entire NEH budget for a yr—is beyond Caligula levels imo.

It Seems So Obvious That This Should Be Done….

Die Europäische Kommission stellt einigen Mitarbeitern, die in die USA reisen, Wegwerfhandys und einfache Laptops zur Verfügung, um das Risiko von Spionage zu vermeiden - eine Maßnahme, die traditionell für Reisen nach China reserviert ist. USA ist jetzt Feindesland.

CARTOON OF THE DAY (From @andertoon.bsky.social )

There's been plenty of hyperventilating in some UK media outlets about solar farm taking over 'productive farm land' and endangering food security But in fact the ambitious 2030 targets will cover only 0.4% of land, compared with golf courses covering 0.5% www.thetimes.com/uk/environme...

Can't argue with Terry on this.

😂😂 I can't unsee it now

Some good news 👍

Always good for a watch and a laugh :-) youtu.be/buqtdpuZxvk?...

Interest in LibreOffice, the open-source alternative to Microsoft Office, is on the rise, with weekly downloads of its software package close to 1 million a week. That’s the highest download number since 2023. It works on Linux, macOS, Windows and Unix like systems. Why pay the Microsoft Tax? 🤔

He really is such a twat. No idea about economics until someone tells him, if you do that you'll ruin Apple 🤡🤦‍♂️ thehill.com/business/524...

Ian Hislop, "Trump boasting about other countries kissing ass. Yes, he is an ass" Ian Smith, "We kissed his ass before anyone else did. That is all we had to brag that we were on 10%. Now everyone's on 10%" Helen Lewis, "The bloody penguins are on 10% and they didn't offer up their king"

Wow, this is just so powerful, beautifully describes how we are where we are today with Maggots, Brexit idiots and tRump. youtu.be/-kT5yvSe4Ig?...

There are still quite a few scientists in the US who think that they can weather the storm. Some of them voted for this administration to run the country and its scientific enterprise. Some do not get how policy works, some are racists, most do not understand how today is rooted in US history.

Good morning from us and our hangovers

😂 The entire Maggot and Brexit crowd should get one of these.

If you have a Labour M.P, get them to put pressure on No 10 to accept these recommendations which are even within the Government's self-imposed Brexit red lines - or, of course, push for something even better for the economy like rejoining the Customs Union & Single Market youtu.be/IULJiQMNrOg?...

Fantastic wine with lunch, been drinking this for years. If you can get yourself a bottle, then do, you won't be disappointed. This blows far more expensive Sauvignon into the weeds.

It's how I feel about some paintings - lol
