I work in IT.
We use a LOT of cloud compute which is provided by US companies.
If Trump does the unthinkable and stomps into Greenland, as part of all the retaliations that would then ensue could the US get (for example) MS or AWS to pull the plug on UK cloud services?

I love The Damned and am fortunate to being seeing them at the Manchester gig at the end of this month.
A good read…

‘We wouldn’t still be playing if we’d got stinking rich’: the Damned celebrate 50 years of punk, goth and holy grail hunting
An appetite for self-destruction left Dave Vanian, Captain Sensible and Rat Scabies hugely influential but financially insecure. They’re back with a big show and their first album together since 1995

This chap has been staring at me continuously for the last 15 mins.
Every time I look away from the TV to him he’s staring at me with big eyes.

Bizarre list - not just the expected (eg climate or environment related), but International Institute for Democracy & Electoral Assistance, promoting democracy worldwide; European Centre of Excellence for Countering Hybrid Threats (self-explanatory), Global Counter-Terrorism Forum (ditto). 1/2

I’m watching a documentary about Mussolini & shocked just how many parallels there are with Trump 😮

I still have my Twitter account though I seldom visit now.
As it’s a new year I thought I’d have a quick peek.
Bloody Hell. Won’t be going back there for a while.
It’s just full of nutters posting racist and religious shit.

What happens if the secret traitor is banished? Does Claudia choose a new one?
I think Ellie is the secret traitor.

With the technology that humans possess, why can’t someone make a toaster that toasts evenly?
Over the years I’ve spent from £10 to £200 on a toaster & they’ve all been rubbish.
I prefer using my grill but you have to constantly watch it as it seemingly goes from pale to charcoal in a second.

How his mate, bankroller, and Insurance Company owner, Arron Banks, would love that.

It’s not about what’s good for YOU, it’s about what’s good for HIM and his mates.

Abolish the House of Lords, RT if you want it gone.

I hear Donald Trump wants to put his face on a $1 commemorative US coin.

US law states that only dead presidents can be on American money.

I'd like to see Donald Trump's face on a coin 😉

Just rediscovered a short film a friend made 20 years ago. Festive stuff. Filmed in Birmingham (UK).
It’s only 90 seconds long 😁
Cracking silliness.

Consider Mexico. A thread.

Once upon a time, not even so very long ago, you would often hear from Russia's propagandists and their little helpers in the West about the "Mexico scenario".

Russia liked people to think that it only invaded its neighbours because it was forced to do so by NATO -

I had enough of all the political bollocks today so I’ve been listening to music loud!
Came across this great vid of Terry Kath making his guitar sing…

Council worker in my local park marking out the football pitch with a remote control paint buggy dispenser thing.
Looked like he was controlling it with a mobile phone.
Are we tech enabling too much?
Kinda reminds me of having a Bluetooth enabled AI toothbrush.

REALLY?! What about 5-Eyes intelligence? Were these Republican Senators sharing that too?

And what action is MI6 and the Government taking?

Are we going to suspend intelligence sharing?
