A Trump supporter saw the gas prices, lost it, ripped the Trump sticker off his vehicle, and started raging about the administration.

We warned them then. We’re still warning them now.

Didn't remove it for Trump's rape victims
Didn't remove it for Trump's hundreds of illegal killings home and abroad
Didn't remove it for Trump's blatant theft of $Billions
But ripped it right off there because Trump affected his ability to drive his big truck.

A top notch weekend accompanying @skullsandsheets.bsky.social around three different exhibitions for the great Clive Hicks-Jenkins. First up was the Witch show at Carmarthen's Oriel Myrddin Gallery, centred on Hansel & Gretel...

I’m moving to a state that has daylight savings. Not sure how I’ll go.

The podcast was Dan Snow’s History Hit and the book was The Army That Never Was. Both worth a listen.
I didn’t believe the old guy as he used to send me to the foreman to ask for a straight S hook or a long stand.

Reminds me that teenage me worked on a building site where an old guy told me how ne helped lay out generators and strings of bulbs on the Yorks Moors as a decoy town to expend WWII German bombs.
I thought that was untrue until a podcast last year confirmed it.

That's the MAGA machine. It runs on hate.

The β€œOMG look what he/she/they are doing NOW omg omg omg…” reverberation makes me nuts. I comment less and less. People still shocked by what the predatory regime is doing that was predicted years ago is people stuck in a loop of traumatic madness…

Who would be the regulator? With your sandwich shop it's been clear for decades which city council covers regulation for that street, building, and business type.
By the time we decide who regulates AI and its parameters the damage will have been done.

So Trump wants us to believe that Iran bombed itself?

Trump and Netanyahu killed every child in this photo.

Every. Single. One.

Not combatants.
Not militants.

We could soon die in a nuclear holocaust because it was easier than jailing a pedophile ring

Day 410

Yesterday, the dementia ridden pedophile took time out from killing civilians in Iran to announce his next target.

Cuba.

Is anyone going to stop this ego maniac?

Firstly they should take away both the World Cup and the Olympics.

See if that gets his attention.

You are all caught up.
