The list of words Trump is banning from government is the most stunning document of our time. Click the image below to see how many words Trump and Musk have canceled as part of their new Reich.

"Rep. Mark Pocan (D-Wis.) on Wednesday rolled out the Eliminate Looting of Our Nation by Mitigating Unethical State Kleptocracy (ELON MUSK) Act, which would ban 'special' government employees like Musk from having federal contracts."
Now I want to see a David Lynch remake of It's A Wonderful Life, in which the angel Clarence is an ominous gas cloud played by Sherilyn Fenn.

Very sad to hear of the passing of David Lynch. Lost Highway made a huge impression on me when it came out, completely blew my mind. Elephant Man is pure art and Wild at Heart brings me joy. I even have a forbidden love for his 1984 Dune. Rest in weirdness, sir.
This is my periodic rant that Apple Intelligence is so bad that today it got every fact wrong its AI a summary of @washingtonpost.com news alerts.
It's wildly irresponsible that Apple doesn't turn off summaries for news apps until it gets a bit better at this AI thing.
All we're waiting for now is the New York Times editorial congratulating Trump on a great deal. www.bbc.com/news/article...
You know how at a party, if a conversation gets taken over by rude, boring people, the nice people just quietly excuse themselves and start a better conversation in the kitchen?
I feel like we need to do that with the global monetary system.
In one 24hr period Musk posted 153 times, 48% of posts about the UK, containing a wide range of misleading and falsified information aimed at disrupting public opinion and destabilising government.

Trump voters: "Trump is the pacifist President who will end America's costly foreign wars."
Trump: "I will invade Nato"
You know that feeling when you think youβre on the cusp of seeing how everything falls into place? Yeah, me neither.
Trump is such an attention-seeking little baby.

I hadn't thought about it like that before but I think you are spot on with this one. ππΌ
NEW: Jimmy Carter, the 39th President of the United States, has died at the age of 100.
He was elected in the 1976 presidential election for a single term. He enjoyed a remarkable post-presidency, based on philanthropy. He was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize in 2002.
A minimalist illustration showing a packaged charger box labeled "one Union one Charger." The box features an image of a blue charger with the European Union flag symbol and a USB-C cable. The scene is set within a holiday theme, with decorative Christmas trees, ornaments, and gift boxes surrounding the charger box. In the top right corner, there is a small EU flag symbol.
Itβs time for THE charger.
Today, the USB-C becomes officially the common standard for charging new mobile electronic devices in the EU.
It means better-charging technology, reduced e-waste, and less fuss to find the chargers you need!

We need a word in the English launguage for being ambushed by sudden emotion.
Celebrating the winter solstice by staying home and avoiding daylight.
A few years ago I established that the words for the Manics "A Design For Life" work better in "God Rest Ye, Merry Gentlemen" than they do in "A Design For Life", and the same was true of "Hit Me With Your Rhythm Stick" and "Hark The Herald Angels Sing", and thankfully there is video proof
"Speak your speak, 'cause every silence you maintain is liable
to become first a lump in your throat, then a lump in your
lymphatic system."

Merry Christmas to everyone out there in Bluesky land. #mindbaubles
That a dude with a couple cameras and a plate of appetizers can make something worth $82.5 million and a media company looks at that and goes "couldn't we make even more money if we had AI do it?" tells you exactly how stupid these people are
Just trying to read a news story on a website run by a company that definitely has a sustainable business model that won't soon drive away every single reader and advertiser.

Media: Please stop letting Farage off the hook for wanting to dismantle the NHS just cos it's more fun to talk about immigrants.
This is what he wants us to copy.
