Who knew one dipshit could wreck the global economy in a week?

Anyone else tired of being forced to find out when they did not fuck around?

Yesterday I filmed several baby birds walking across a street directly at my camera and asked Bluesky to suggest music

Several dozen folks did

Some even dubbed music over the original clip.

I haven't been able to get this out of my head.

The search for me in Clacton enters its 87th week.

Desert. Doh.

It is absolutely insane that the US appears to have targeted desalination plants first – putting them onto the board. Iran seems to have already retaliated against one in Bahrain. This is one of the most obvious ways this could spiral.

It’s now almost 2 months since Nigel Farage was scheduled to appear on #bbclaurak as part of her Leaders Interview but pulled out due to being “under the weather”

He’s currently in America supporting a foreign president over his own country

The Pomp visiting The Poop.

……all over the planet.

The King is supposed to be visiting the USA *next month*. This is the definition of a diplomatic nightmare. In all seriousness, I would urge him to pull a sickie.

When is Agent Farage due back in the UK with his fresh instructions?

Evidence Grows That Google's AI Overviews Have Eviscerated the Media Industry Google's AI overviews have eviscerated the media landscape, with some top publications losing up to 97 percent of their web traffic.

Welp. The internet had a nice run.

Some outlets have lost over 90% of their traffic since the "AI" summaries rolled out.

"...the four worst-hit publications [now] get less monthly web traffic combined than the r/ChatGPT subreddit gets on its own."

These States Are Joining in the Push to Ban Surveillance Pricing At least a dozen states are considering legislation.

“Surveillance pricing has long been a thing online, where retailers can easily show different prices to different consumers. Ridesharing companies like Uber, for instance, can charge users more when they have lower battery life on their phone”

The OED will use this an example of “blithering”

Blithering. That’s actual blithering.

“Absolute balls. 30mph on the flat on a bicycle is Tour de France stuff… These campaigns always demonise ‘speeding cyclists’,” the former Top Gear host said

Revenge is an awful justifier for what is in fact a really bad crime.

“Dear Diary,
Super excited to say that I’ll be serving my Clacton constituents today by flying to Mar-a-Lago to meet Donald Trump and to undermine the UK government. God I love being a patriot!”

List of multiple Guardian articles since 2017 involving UK Home Office attempts to deport academics employed at Oxford--or to deport their young children or spouses--on various pretexts.

There's a decade-long stack of articles abt this in the @theguardian.com, all involving the Home Office threatening different academics employed at the University of Oxford with either immediate deportation of themselves, or of their children, spouses, etc. It's not a one-off thing, but a pattern.

The History of Iran and Winston Churchill Exposes How the Past Repeats Itself YouTube video by Novara Media

Trump is no Winston Churchill.

This clip reveals a background to the current Iran situation that is very very dark. Frightening when you think about the current exit strategy, which doesn’t appear to exist.

Trump’s ICE Is Quietly Stockpiling Weaponry—and It Should Alarm Us All In addition to staffing up at a furious rate, ICE and CPB are acquiring a vast cache of weapons from private contractors, new data reveals. This will not end well—or anytime soon.

This is bloody alarming. Psst - don’t go to America anytime soon.
