Hearing the US president's incoherent ramble before the UN, I laughed aloud. America is truly a special place where anyone can be a president, even when it's clear they shouldn't be a president. How embarrassing! How dangerous (but darkly comical) our world is because this clown is a president.

Europe\NATO, really, WTF are you thinking? Is your dithering and cowardice so fullfledged you would fuck us all negotiating with a man with the ethics of Hitler? www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

It is all about credibility. The USA is erractic and unreliable. So European countries must stop their mealy mouthed protestations of "unity" and "firmness" and start acting decisively and proactively or NATO is finished (& so is Ukraine) www.theguardian.com/world/2025/s...

We don't need billionaire's permission to tax them & or have to worry about "flight of capital" -- govern.ent can just freeze assets. The USA, UK & any major power has the ability to track, trace, & sequester assets & imprison for tax evasion. Lawmakers don't because they're tied to billionaires.

I like the idea of Andy Burnham, but what is his big idea. He is of The Left, but Leadership requires a dramatic vision & the ability to articulate that vision in a way that inspires the populace. Can he deliver the goods? Can he inspire? www.theguardian.com/politics/ng-...

Scumball millionaire Blair raking in money from the autocratic billionaire class yet again. At least he's getting paid... before, when he was kissing George W Bush's ass, he was just doing it for status.

Digital ID is a Blair obsession. ‘Solving immigration’ is simply the latest spin on it.

But it *is* spin. Blair has taken hundreds of millions of tech money to push a corporate AI agenda on Starmer’s government with huge success. This is part of a vast massively resourced big tech lobbying op

Can I just say, Faith, whichever incarnation, is the front door to disreality, but Faith is also the back door for Fascism to power. We see it in Russia, in Israel, in Iran, and the United States. eu.usatoday.com/story/news/2...
Religious Americans are divided over Charlie Kirk. But they all agree on this.
Many on the evangelical right view Kirk as a martyr, while other faith groups criticized his politics. All denounced further violence.

Europe is useless, hot air and then more hot air, god forbid any action. The reason they don't take action is they are incapable of concerted action. Who can take the EU seriously as a 'world power'? www.ft.com/content/4585...

It is tragic, but not unpredictable. I remember a grandfather who shot & killed his 4 year old grandson hiding in a cupboard. On camera he defended his right to have a gun. The statistical reality: what comes around inevitably goes around.

Pro sports long ago descended into a monied whoredom. When the Olympics began allowing pros in the games, it joined the whoredom. It's about money, why shouldn't it be all about drugs? In the future, being human won't matter. Watch humanity make humaness unimportant. www.bbc.co.uk/sport/swimmi...

We abhor political violence. But why's mass murder of students less important than murder of political activists. Gun violence: Politicians can deal with it or like everyone else be it's victim. What's a tragedy for this young man & his family, is also a tragedy for many others & their families.

How outraged the Europeans are at the latest Russian atrocity ! So David Lammy CALLED IN the Russian Ambassador to say THIS IS UNCOOL. So Germany & France's foreign ministers DID THE SAME!!!. OH MY! thought Mr Putin, they're a noisy bunch, been squalking for 1000 days! But squalking is all they do.
Andy Dumas @andydumas.bsky.social · Aug 27
This is bullshit. Europe's not really doing what it can, and never has. Just big words from little rascals. European leaders know if they were serious about stopping Russia, they could step up much bigger. Why hasnt' Europe placed 100% secondary tariifs on India & China for buying Russian oil?

A free, democratic and independent Ukraine.

That's what you are fighting for.

That's what our efforts are all about.

We are with you, for as long as it takes. Because a free Ukraine is a free Europe.

Happy Independence Day, Ukraine!

Haha! Just another now irrelevant old lecher gone half barmy searching for any kind of notoriety. This is not about Woody Allen supporting art in oppressive Russia. Its about a confused old man wandering around not having any better place to go --- easy target for the Kremlin.

Greece torched coal in a decade—down from 50% to 6%. Solar & wind? Up from 15% to 43%. This wasn’t a transition, it was a takedown. Tech didn’t just compete—it crushed. Powered by the free market and cost curves. Linear forecasts missed it. X marks disruption. ⚡📉 #Scurve #EnergyShift #RIPCoal #Solar

What you need to do is make a decision. What are you willing to do to stop people being whisked off the the streets. Sam Adam’s was willing to do very big things in his day to, metaphorically, stop people from being ‘whisked off the streets.’ I know what I am willing to do.

McGovern: "A family making less than $50,000 a year? They get less than $1 a day in tax cuts. You can't buy a damn cup of coffee with that. But those making a million dollars or more? They'll get more than $250 a day in tax breaks ... that's how rigged this bill is to benefit the wealthy."
