"Only I will know when it's over, based on my incisive intellect and intuition. I cannot tell you anything more specific because I don't have a clue what I'm even looking for, so it'll be over when I decide it's over, and I'll attack anyone who tries to pin me down or highlight my inconsistencies."

And, perhaps more importantly (in terms of current influence), those of Badenoch and Farage, plus their media cheerleaders

Alright, I confess. The artist who made this lives across the street. It really is life size.

Not even the Nazis expressly announced they were committing war crimes. Indeed, at Nuremberg war crimes were denied.

But here, openly, the US Secretary for Defense is explicitly admitting to committing war crimes.

And while we’re at it, fuck Trump, fuck Putin and fuck Netanyahu. Try civilised living for a change instead of attacking people.

And we haven’t forgotten the Epstein files.

So, if I get this right, AI is looking at answers to different questions from the past, making up survey answers as if they were real, and telling huge corporations what real people want next. That’s going to work innit?

Selling out creative industries to big tech rather than protecting artists is a huge abdication of responsibility and leadership by Westminster.
Our copyright isn’t theirs to give away, loan, diminish, or otherwise tinker with, and we should all be pushing back as hard as we can against this.

Reform UK is MAGA light.

Nigel Farage has tied himself to Donald Trump, and can’t escape it.

From DOGE, to Orr, to ICE, to Iran, where Trump goes, Nigel follows.

While USA does its best to start WWIII, trying to divert attention from the Epstein files, UK politics obsesses about animals on banknotes.

Kemi Badenoch (who’s she?) has even been forced to say she quite likes animals, if only for lunch

Starbucks Billionaire Howard Schultz Leaves Seattle for Florida the Same Day Democrats Pass Income Tax Bill Starbucks founder Howard Schultz decided to move to Miami from Seattle after Democrats passed an income tax bill for Washington to levy a 9.9% tax on households earnings $1 million annually.

The most selfish people on the planet, have zero interest in helping anyone other than themselves. Stop giving these people your money. (Starbucks, Amazon, etc) They hate their customers and make it clear every day. www.ibtimes.co.uk/starbucks-bi...
