years ago everyone shit their pants over deepfake of Obama but the real problem wasn't realistic generated content, it was dogshit slop shown to a fucking moron that any moderately intellectually competent person would see as fake immediately.

Trump: "Portland, I mean -- every time I look at that place it's burning down. There are fires all over the place. When a store -- there are very few of them left -- but when a store owner rebuilds a store they build it out of plywood. They don't put up storefronts anymore. They just put wood up."

dont think they have any PHEV here. They've gone all-in on the US market with inline hybrids that are basically just superchargers for more power rather than anything to reduce emissions.

even their hybrid stuff is half arsed. A few years ago you went on a wait list of up to a year for a RAV4, now you wouldn't buy one because its among the worst in class.

The ageing fellas at the news desk have such a boner for a strong, young white man in politics they are going to will Hastie to the top of the pile whether we like it or not.

Opinion piece in the 9Papers:

Hastie's got the right stuff but one obsession may fast-track or derail his ambitions
By Peter Hartcher
October 11, 2025 - 5.00am
"The train coming down the tracks isn't the one that you expected. It's not the one advertised on the board," says actor Benedict Cumberbatch playing the role of a pro-Brexit strategist.
"Well, tough," he says. "It isn't even the one that I imagined. But I accept it. And you can't stop it," he says in the 2019 movie Brexit: The Uncivil War in the persona of the notorious Dominic Cummings, adviser to Boris Johnson.
"There is a new politics in town. One that you cannot control."

Article extract:

As he read his charter letter from his leader, Sussan Ley, setting out his duties as opposition home affairs spokesman, he realised he would have no part in immigration policy - opposition immigration spokesman Paul Scarr, not Hastie, would "lead" and "develop" the policy. Hastie practised his personal policy of a
48-hour cooling off before making any major decision.
At this point, a more typical politician would accept the ruling, but then begin a quiet campaign of leaking and undermining against the leader. Hastie did not.
He was careful to take counsel with a handful of trusted allies, including only two Liberal MPs, so that he couldn't be accused of "doing the
numbers" as a prelude to a leadership challenge.
He told the most trusted of his trusted circle, his wife, Ruth, that he'd have to take a 25 per cent pay cut if he went ahead with the resignation. She rejoined that the family budget would simply have to adjust.

BYD just hit its 14 millionth NEV and overtook Tesla (total 7 million) in global #BEV sales for the first time — 1.6 M vs 1.2 M YTD 2025, a 400 K lead. The world’s top #EV maker isn’t in California anymore — it’s in Shenzhen, driving the new electric era. Geely rising fast also. #EnergyTransition

BYD's 14 millionth NEV rolls off line at Brazil plant, delivered to President Lula

The rollout of BYD's 14 millionth NEV comes about 11 months after its 10 millionth vehicle.

Trump announces he's putting a bajillion percent tariff on China

It has just been learned that China has taken an extraordinarily aggressive position on Trade in sending an extremely hostile letter to the World, stating that they were going to, effective November 1st, 2025, impose large scale Export Controls on virtually every product they make, and some not even made by them. This affects ALL Countries, without exception, and was obviously a plan devised by them years ago. It is absolutely unheard of in International Trade, and a moral disgrace in dealing with other Nations.

Based on the fact that China has taken this unprecedented position, and speaking only for the U.S.A., and not other Nations who were similarly threatened, starting November 1st, 2025 (or sooner, depending on any further actions or changes taken by China), the United States of America will impose a Tariff of 100% on China, over and above any Tariff that they are currently paying. Also on November 1st, we will impose Export Controls on any and all critical software.

It is impossible to believe that China would have taken such an action, but they have, and the rest is History. Thank you for your attention to this matter!

DONALD J. TRUMP
PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA
