Admittedly he taught in China for a while and has a much more positive view of the PRC than I do, but my neighbour swears by Deepseek.

Ever suspect that their info on who to target comes from some botched surreptitious data mining by Elon’s minions while they were rummaging around various govt entities?

I thought Donny was the “no more wars” president?

When a gov minister from Singapore says your roll back of diversity programmes is wrong, you’ve definitely gone too far.

Even white women with no degree are ambivalent on it.

And absolutely nobody is positive about the Democratic Party

It was Eddie Jordon leading the consortium to resurrect London Irish?
Just seen an announcement that he’s died today.

Andy Foode alluding to there being a bit of a player rebellion prior to the Italy game?

I find myself referring to this every time this subject comes up:
There was a year when Super Rugby Aotearoa “trialed” refereeing the rucks to the letter of the laws - through the gate, the bind, on feet.
For the first two or three rounds there were a ridiculous number of penalties which had the ...

Apparently I was a nutter and a bit mental just a few weeks ago, now it seems everyone is getting on the same page now? I am not sure I have enough Tin Foil Hats to go round!

Apple boss Tim Cook has said his company may have to change its diversity practices as the US legal landscape shifts.

His comments came just minutes after a majority of shareholders rejected a proposal calling on the ...

I don’t think I’m very knowledgeable on these things, but:

Very sad. A big part of the soundtrack to my teens and the music still holds its own today.

Eggs up 65% since start of 2024. I thought Trump was going to have that sorted on day 1?

Trump's crimes. The Democrats have had 8 years to find stuff. All of the states resources and money and yet nothing. Except for a non crime bookkeeping error.

I'm sure Trump and his team doing the same (as they will) will find lots ...

I now have an American neighbor. Chatting to him a couple of weeks ago I’d say that he’s the type that would have voted RFK jnr if he’d staid in the race.

A couple of noticeable comments:

We needed a change because:
- the dems are so corrupt, look at how Biden pardoned his family.
- we’re in too ...

On the health thing: CDC prohibited from giving updates on the avian flu thing.
Associations like AMA stepping in to do so.

Google calendar removes black history month, pride month and women’s history month also.

Lickspittles.

It would be a surprise if China stepped into the Usaid vacuum.

Much like Trump, China is purely focused on trade and commerce. They aren't going to step into health funding etc.

I agree, it’s not China’s style.
But the US is still reducing the influence the exerted via soft power while ...

This must be great news for China (Chynaah!) who can now swoop in and be seen as heroes?

They’re already building the roads, bridges and airports so wouldn’t surprise me.

Just returned from Cambodia.
NGOs in turmoil, many pausing operations and in fear of shutting down for good.
Even the de-mining paused but might be able to recommence in some form after Aus stepped in with $1.25m

Used to shoot most weekends before I left the U.K. and just a little bit here as it’s a bit expensive.

Sporting for me over the Olympic stuff like trap, dtl., skeet.

Full A game is here for those interested

I fear that we might look back at this election and see that Karmala lost it the day she announced the tax on capital gains, thus lining all the super rich up behind Trump.

I’m assuming Chessum was penciled in to play 6 and Hill is the next nearest thing?

Not a dig at Hill, I would have had him in from the start, but maybe explains why he’s in now?

Rather easy on the eye and aviation related

This is one of the aspects that gets me - it won’t be “the republicans” as such. it’ll be the campaign with $$ from Musk et all. And the McConnell’s of this world with just stand by and let it happen again, regardless of the chaos and damage it will cause.

Look at his posture in this. Slumpy, hunchy-backed old codger, he looks f&cked

:wtf We all know Trump is a narcissistic cunt, but by fuck, even by his snake-belly-low standards, that's shocking.

The most disturbing feature of that to me is the crowd's reaction -- the fuckwits just lap up any garbage that Orange Buffoon spews out to them.

It’s basically a WWE crowd ...

He’s a cvnt of the highest order

Laura Loomer was on Trump's plane at Pennsylvania for the debate and New York for the 9/11 commemoration.

He's still getting off so lightly on places like the BBC - phrases like Heated and Feisty and him being Thrown off Message - rather than the complete insane shit show he was.

I've seen a new term today - sane washing.

Got off-cuts laying around? Make her some coasters and maybe even placemat type things.
