Translation: If something that we have no reports of happened, it had better be sorted or there will be consequences!

PANIC! BUY OIL PRICES NOW!

(After I confirm that the thing we had no reports about indeed didn't happen, sell back at inflated price).

KERCHING!

Planet Labs satellite imagery shows only two structures within this red cone were damaged, including a clinic. The other structure appears to be an earth covered magazine or bunker.

I said this exact same thing to a fairly senior civil servant yesterday and she was outraged at the suggestion.

And that was one of the less nutty conversations we had.

I’m wondering when Trump, who has told Zelenskyy repeatedly that Ukraine must hold elections during wartime despite it being contrary to its constitution, will say that the US cannot hold elections during wartime despite that being contrary to its constitution.

Me with a scoop/exclusive

Five days after Jeffrey Epstein’s arrest, federal authorities β€œdirected” NY law enforcement authorities to β€œstand down” their investigations related to Epstein, new documents released by the Department of Justice show.

Part of new Timeline on NY and Epstein.

I'm surprised that a wag hasn't posted a one word reply in the comments - "Mandelson"

Surely one decent American will look at the videos of what can be achieved using a cheap drone and be inspired to make a new bunker in the golf course.

Hi Bluesky - I'm Massachusetts' Attorney General. You might know me from suing President Trump nearly 50 times, beating Uber and Lyft in court, or being the first woman of color elected to statewide office in MA.

I officially left X today - help me find my MA people?

Agreed - he's an awful person, his political views are atrocious, but he is good at them.

I suppose you could say he's good at being a bad politician.

Donald Trump and Liz Truss

I just saw this posted (elsewhere) with the heading 'The Slug and Lettuce' and I genuinely guffawed.

Your poems are shit,

I'm convinced AI is our generation's radium - a discovery with genuinely useful applications in specific, controlled circumstances that we stupidly put in everything from kid's toys to toothpaste until we realised the harm far too late where future generations will ask if we were out of our minds.

The Home Office tweet here - referring to asylum seekers legally here and legally supported by the government as β€œillegal migrants” - is a deliberate attempt to stir up resentment and racial hatred.

I can’t see how else you describe it.

That’s even before you get onto the mendacity of β€œbanningβ€œ people from doing something they didn’t want to do and were only required to do because of the Home Office’s own policy decisions

I was asked to check this, the journal uses a Rail Fence Cipher, so you read each line up and down, left to right. The deciphered text in the article below is accurate, and names names. The file itself can be found here:

This story should be retitled. The US is actually funding pro-Putin think tanks, ones that want to end European democracy.

Lets be honest about this.

Exactly so.

Those elected carry the can. They choose their advisors and are responsible for that decision and whether to take their advice or not.

The power is theirs. The final decisions are theirs.

Blaming Rasputin-like figures is absolving those elected of responsibility and accountability.

Yes, Trump depicting the Obamas as apes is racist, vile. As ever.

But ffs, don't buy into the distraction! They do this every time.

The Epstein files have him on the ropes like never before. Stay with it.
