Since 2016, I've been telling people that Trump is emotionally exoskeletal. There are no hidden depths, no secret heart. You can trust that what he says at any given moment is exactly what he feels *at that time*. It might change; it likely will. He's an emotional amoeba lurching between impulses.
All art about Trump will end up being pro-Trump propaganda simply by virtue of writers and directors giving him more depth than he has. There really is nothing else there. He's just a mobster. He has *no* depth. Zero. None. He likes steak and blondes and gold. That's all there is to him.

Worth remembering that in 1952, Chaplin - for 40 years maybe the most famous man in the world - had his visa revoked as he sailed for Europe. J. Edgar Hoover didn't like that he was a vaguely left-wing pacifist who slept around. He never really got over it. His creativity didn't.
The first time Charlie Chaplin spoke onscreen, he implored the people of the world to resist the rising tide of fascism.
Nearly 90 years later, it remains a timely message.

How you manufacture consent.
BBC journalists have been banned from describing the kidnapped Venezuelan leader as having been kidnapped.
The BBC News Editor has sent this to BBC journalists.

This is not the first time he's ended up in a slightly watery version of what is nonetheless the right position. But why does it take him so long? It feels like even the Prime Minister is waiting to get quotes signed off. But that can't be right, surely
This is better; still not strong enough I think, but much better.

Am I crazy because this doesn't even look close to real. No one just stands there weeping like that in front of a crowd with a camera in their face
This video, viewed millions of times on TikTok, Facebook and X, claims to show Venezuelans taking to the street to thank the US for detaining Maduro.
But the video is a combination of four AI-generated clips and was first posted on TikTok by a user who frequently shares AI videos. It's not real.

Remember: It is a mystery to every journalist and pundit why this Labour government are so roundly and universally detested.
Govt minister Darren Jones is asked what element of international law gives the US the right to abduct the leader of another country.
Jones says he's not qualified to answer that question and he's not a spokesperson for the US administration.

One of the nice things about Bluesky is not that it is bot-free (it is not), but that the moderation tools and lack of algorithm in the main feed make it bot-resistant.

"I constantly remind myself" thing you famously say when everything is going Just Great
Keir Starmer: "I constantly remind myself that 24/7 our defence, our security & our intelligent relationship with the US matters probably more than any other relationship we've got in the world and it would not be in our national interest to weaken that in any way"

Beyond horrible. My soul aches for Rosa González, and all the Venezuelans who were harmed, killed, frightened, made homeless. I'm thinking about all the grandmas, grandpas, mothers, fathers, sisters, brothers, uncles, aunts, children, babies.

Starmer and Farage both drape themselves in flags but once again it's really clear where their loyalty really is.
It's Trump first. They will always be on the side of the super rich and powerful - no matter how heinous the crime.
This is not patriotism. It's subservience.

Keir Starmer explicitly backs Trump's attack on Venezuela.
Says he has "long supported" getting rid of Maduro, who is an "illegitimate President" and "we shed no tears about the end of his regime".
