Islamist jihadists will using this clip of Trump for propaganda recruitment for the next half a century.

This is the most blasé admission of a war crime by a US president in history.

Trump has just disclosed, without prompting, that the US Military committed a war crime - literally just to brag & make his Republican audience laugh about unnecessarily killing 100+ Iranians instead of capturing them.

Trump says US Navy sank Iran's warship off the coast of Sri Lanka because "it's more fun" to sink ships than capture them.

Fake AI Content About the Iran War Is All Over X X’s Grok is failing to accurately verify video footage from the Iran conflict and is sharing its own AI-generated images about the war.

How's war coverage over on X? It is ... what you'd expect.

US military spent $9 million on crab legs and lobster in the months before Iran war Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth also authorized the $100,000 purchase of a Steinway & Sons grand piano for the Air Force chief of staff’s home, according to a watchdog report

They’re really acting like a banana republic

This is clearly fine with the GOP.

Doubt much of the electorate have noticed but the mess Badenoch and Farage have got into over Iran shows just how beatable they are.

Brexiter Arlene Foster who now sits in the House of Lords wants to cut welfare support and spend the money on defence instead

Brexit costs the UK £90 billion in lost tax income every year,if we didn't have Foster's Brexit we could keep supporting those in need while also ramping up defence spending

When a US missile killed 160 children, president shits-a-lot claimed Iran stole the missile and fired at the school. When asked why he was the only one making this claim, he said "because I just don't know enough about it".
Go ahead. See if you can make this make sense.

So finally in the 21st century after a debate of more than 25 years we decided to abolish feudalism. Or at least the most visible part of it. 👇

It's no longer OK for you to sit in the house of Lords because your dad did.
But if your mate put you there?
That's fine.

Just as a matter of interest does he pay for anything himself?

Not just any humanitarian aid mission but a humanitarian aid mission to The Maldives. Good work if you can get it. One can only hope his past history with privately-operated aeroplanes visits upon him again.

In other register of interests news, Nigel Farage's private jet to and from the Maldives apparently cost £12,500, which feels like quite a bargain.

For anyone still worried about Geoffrey Cox's welfare, he received £111,000 from legal work in February, so is just about keeping his head above water.

I was in a 2 hour briefing today on the Iran War. All the briefings are closed, because Trump can't defend this war in public.

I obviously can't disclose classified info, but you deserve to know how incoherent and incomplete these war plans are.

Speculative sales talk and hype is not education, IMO

For example the course has a lot of made-up baloney about longevity www.silveraiproject.com/presentation...

Being old, I joined U3A (my dad was a member when it was called University of the 3rd Age). I came across a course that's designed to teach you about #AI. But it's more like a Musk promotion exercise. I find that worrying. Uncritical education is worse than useless www.silveraiproject.com

Of course it isn't government policy to be deceived by sales hype. That's a bit ridiculous. I hope that they will get good enough advice to avoid disasters.

It is true that there is a lot of popular sentiment about this, but it is insane and made up.

'Bitterly ironic': Trump is wrecking his AI agenda with Anthropic spat, lobbyists and ex-officials say Tech lobbyists, investors and a former Trump adviser are all warning the White House that its deregulatory, export-driven AI agenda is on shaky ground after it hammered a top U.S. company.

“Since Trump’s reelection, the EU has escalated efforts to grant preference to domestic companies and wean itself off of American tech. [CDT’s] Samir Jain [] said that sentiment is likely to spread as Trump demonstrates a desire to control companies like Anthropic.”

When you've realised you've made a bad call but are also physically incapable of accepting you can be wrong.
