Lawyer turned tech journalist/reviewer. Will write about anything I know enough about that will pay my bills.
What is incomprehensible about all of this IMMHO is that nobody seems to care about the millions of tons of methane that are released into the atmosphere as a result of leaks in industrial processing installations...

Absolutely, and that's not a joke! But it does depend on the officer. I once got pulled over for driving 30km/h where I was allowed (but did not have to) to drive at 50. The guy was an arrogant twenty-somewhat, and someone like him wouldn't hesitate.

No, the tunnel is actually blocked by toilet paper from the Russian subs in the neighbourhood.

It's what his pal Trump does too, but with songs and much more as well...

Belgium here: we do that too. You never know if there's a cop around the corner with writing-tickets-syndrome 😃

France could do that, but has legal rules to live by. Elon Musk doesn't in the sense that he can shut off Starlink satellites at will. So, it's a hollow threat, unless France's push for Eutelsat becomes reality soon. Then Musk has no leverage at all anymore.

Well, at least Trump is not known for killing people using radioactive poison (or a by-product), even when they're living abroad like in the UK...

Imagine for a minute that the guy stating that rubbish has been appointed by Putin. And then imagine that he knows what will happen to him if he dares tell the truth. Novichok, anyone, or some other slow-killing poison?

...and start abducting children to "re-educate" them again... Now THAT's something he understands all too well!

This is what a 9-year old does when he plays FBI agent 😆

We, as consumers of social media have an attention span of a goldfish, certainly when we are young, say up to 40. Anyone above that age will probably read, most below will probably "scan".

It could be accidental, but in this photo you clearly see how Putin is "mirroring" Trump's posture.
I don't think it is accidental, BTW. Putin, after all, has been an officer of the KGB so he's well versed in this psychological stuff.

"...we can all get behind..." Maybe, but most people still use X, FB (*), Truth Social, etc. Bluesky may be growing but is still far behind.
(*) I have never understood why anyone would expose his life on a platform managed by a guy who exclaimed people were stupid to give him their data for free.

Why would anyone with a working brain want to be on "Truth Social"?

If there would be something like heavenly justice, Putin and his pal Medvedev would have been served Novichok poisoned Christmas pudding and they would now be dying in an excruciatingly slow and horrible way, realising there's not a thing on this planet that can save them.

I can't but wonder what those Christmas wrappings, gift box and mistletoe (or whatever vegetable it is) looked like immediately after these shots were taken...😛

I know I'm a total stranger, but wish your mom a speedy recovery from me!
