Trump launched the TrumpRX website today.

It has a photo of Trump and an AI-generated family with too many fingers and mangled toes.

TrumpRx Is a Narcissistic, AI-Generated Nightmare

AI art really has become the aesthetic of grifters and fascists.

I cannot believe these protesters blocked traffic. First Insulate Britain and Just Stop Oil, now psychotic paramilitary right-wing bigots on a hate march against protected groups. At least they’ll be locked away for years like the climate activists right?

Evangelical 'King's Army' group disrupts traffic in historic LGBTQ+ London district

A right-wing, evangelical group calling itself the King's Army blocked traffic on Old Compton Street in Soho while chanting anti-LGBTQ+ slogans.

Trump’s chaos will punish students.

It’s not the billionaires’ kids who will suffer.

It's working families' kids who will fall further behind.

Nigel Farage would do the same in Government too.

Cut Public Services and raise taxes to maximise billionaires profits.

Witches of Essex: Rylan and Prof Alice’s look at one of history’s most shameful periods is unfailingly moving

This engaging if slight show sees the unlikely duo reopen witch trials from 400 years ago on the hunt for justice. It’s Blackadder crossed with CSI – with a sprinkling of Philomena Cunk

Good morning to bike rack decision-makers who believe form follows function.

When your elegant design can't even accommodate a 6yo's cargo basket 🙃 #bikedc #overthinkingit

Fancy wrought iron bike rack that will only accommodate a completely naked 2 wheeled bike with no baskets or panniers except on the ends. Why do we have to keep making this so complicated

It turns out if you tell men on the internet that women are increasingly beating them in the ultra-marathon and studies point to women being advantaged in those types of physical exertion, they cry and rage and scream “source?!” and check if their willies have fallen off.

Go make them cry.

This is not a border crossing.
There’s no law that any of us have to show our papers on the interior.

This is a blatant civil rights violation. How is anyone supposed to know whether this man is a real ICE agent or just pretending to be one?!

The easiest way to understand the system is...

If a poor person makes a mistake, the poor person has to pay.

If a very rich person makes a mistake, the poor people have to pay.

Capitalism is a casino, where are all the games are rigged so the house always wins.

I can’t choose where to start either.
For me, it's a toss up between “…with the President’s voice, hawking the watches” and “…an apology would be nice for making my wife cry”.
So so many cringe on a stick moments 😁

What's extra funny is that if they actually bought that shitty watch because they think it looks like a Rolex, they could have bought a super clone of a Rolex submariner for the exact same amount of money.

Or like, a Seiko 5 or Steinhart or something

Is there a deep dive on where these are sourced? I feel like maybe you figured this out on the other place…

Specs wise it feels like a roughly $60 AliExpress product.
