There is absolutely no way Greenland should let in a representative of an overtly hostile nation, in fact the wife of someone explicitly threatening to “take” it. Turn her plane back.

So, most of my Birdsite accounts are now all locked down, in order to protect my handles being hijacked by bad actors... I need to still find anyone who is on the 2 platforms I'll be keeping active on, Bluesky and Mastodon, but it'll take time to get things sorted there!

This guy at the FBI painting over vibrant, positive values with thick strokes of dull paint is such an apt metaphor for the Age of Trump 2.0.

It's funny to me that the only thing Elon Musk hasn't been able to copy from the German Nazis is making reliable cars.

I'm beginning to realize that my dislike for Musk is greater than my dislike for Trump. I think it's because whereas Trump falls into his stupidity effortlessly, Musk really works at it.

The NTSB has announced that it will only post updates for plane crash investigations on Elon Musk's website. What next? They will only have their Christmas parties at Trump resorts?

Musk has just tweeted 'why is he in prison?' Above a Tommy Robinson post. Things like this make me rather contemptuous of the alpha males from Twitter who regard ideological objections to that site as some kind of quaint, effete character flaw.

"X rewards assholery, shithousery, amateurish trolling and outrage baiting. That’s what brings in the bucks. X isn’t a shithole just because of who’s on there, or because Elon laid off lots of moderators. It’s full of ragebait because that’s what is rewarded." www.techtris.co.uk/p/musks-sadi...

Notice how Ru’s nuclear sabre rattling always tracks various Western decisions; it never follows Ukr actions— Kerch bridge attack, drones in Moscow, Kursk incursion, etc. Illustrates that Ru knows that Ukr knows it’s a bluff; the fear-mongering only works on the gullible West.

If we do get to a global war (possible) and survive it (less likely), future historians will likely look at Ukraine as the place where coalitions started to emerge in full, tactics got honed and the road to broader war got paved. Something-imperfect analogies notwithstanding-like Spain in the 1930s

Another Brexit own goal for football! ⚽️⚽️⚽️ "Before Brexit, signing an international prospect would have been straightforward for a club like Arsenal.

What have I been saying for the last 5 years? Deregulated SEZs and Freports are the gateways to privatising the UK. BlackRock will privatise Britain – our housing, education, health, nature and green energy – with our taxpayer money as sweetener. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

So, I'm just after getting a significantly discounted smartphone to act as my travel phone if the rugged one I got ends up failing, as I'm seeing some mixed reviews on that! Granted, it's not a rugged phone, but none are sufficiently discounted for me right now to consider getting!

Scammers are getting more sophisticated; eventually, they're gonna be able to use AI to copy people's voices, which is going to cause so many issues in the future! This really highlights that certain technologies really need to be strictly controlled so not just anyone can get their hands on it!

Listened to a dispatch from a dad in Gaza on NPR this week. He said they were rationing food and trying creatively to explain this to his small children. One day he saw his child gulping water but couldn’t bring himself to say stop, bc he didn’t want that to be the last thing he said to his child.
