When screaming into a void, one's arguably as good as any other, but the 'good-guy to git' ratio seems a little rosier over here compared to the twat's ex twit, so sod it...
Weird. My translation software said, "This was always empty bluster to appeal to my unquestioning followers, & all I ever intended to do was use pre-existing agreements to put a new US base on the island & claim I negotiated our right to do so to look like the big man!"
Maybe it's the intonation...

I put this through Google Translate and it said, "The stock market dropped and I have no meaningful support for this anywhere so, basically, I lost, and nobody should ask me about this anymore."
Trump: "Based upon a very productive meeting I had with Mark Rutte, we have formed the framework of a future deal with respect to Greenland and, in fact, the entire Arctic Region. This solution, if consummated, will be a great one... Based upon this understanding, I will not be imposing the Tariffs"

It's easy for Danny Kruger to talk about massive cuts to the civil service, because he's an entitled prick who's never had a proper job and has zero idea what government workers actually do. Everything seems easy when you know fuck all.

Cyberpunk features a gag news article about an AI author winning the Pulitzer.
Funny joke. Haha. How silly... 😕
Guaranteed 3 of those founders only read sports biographies and "How to be an Alpha" books, while the 4th sticks to L. Ron Hubbard.

Why? Who is this meant to be good for? Nobody wants your shit AI books, never mind 8,000 in a year. Just a terrible idea and a horrible road the publishing industry is heading down.

It is foolish to say that everyone at the Unite Our Kingdom protest was far right. Some were just racists, others were simply thick twats, many were bored football hooligans and thousands more were gullible fuckwits.

After 2 decades of chronic mismanagement from the @conservatives.bsky.social, it was hoped @teamlabouruk.bsky.social would at least restore a *semblance* of sense and stability.
UK borrowing costs hit 27-year high adding to pressure on Reeves

Really, @netflix.com? The @jimmyfallon.bsky.social remake of Taxi is "Worth the wait"?
I'd be more excited waiting to have my wisdom teeth pulled during an anesthetic shortage.
It would certainly be less painful.

Remarkably, the Mortal Kombat II movie actually looks good. I was skeptical about Karl Urban as Johnny Cage - underappreciated actor though his is, he seemed an odd fit - but at least as far as the trailer is concerned, I'm sold.

Superman is an interesting film, and I can see why it is, and is going to continue to be, so divisive.
I enjoyed it overall: Corenswet's solid, the supporting cast are all great - the "Justice Gang" in particular is fantastic...
