The USA has declared its intention to fund and foster far-right politics in Europe. We’re seeing this start to become more evident now.

The fuel is unavailable because the USA illegally invaded Venezuela and stole all its oil, and because the USA is trying to break Cuba through an illegal blockade. And Maduro didn’t “decline”: the USA kidnapped him. The article takes great care to describe the consequences of the USA’s illegal actions without mentioning the USA.

Rapist mind.

Unless you lose your income, then all your subscription computer, games and data vanish in a puff of profit. But not to worry, you can buy a backup for… no sorry, you don’t have enough money because storage is unaffordable. So say goodbye to it all.

The lack of aviation fuel is a direct consequence of the deterioration of Cuba’s energy system, exacerbated by the disruption of external supplies and the regime’s inability to ensure stable imports. For years, Cuba relied on oil from Venezuela for much of its energy consumption, a supply that has been interrupted following Nicolás Maduro’s decline.

What’s with this wording? The fuel is unavailable because the USA illegally invaded Venezuela and stole all its oil, and because the USA is trying to break Cuba through a blockade. And Maduro didn’t “decline”: the USA kidnapped him. It is the USA doing all of this.

Italy has a fascist government too, and cops do what cops do.

As with all things ICE, probably just to show they can.

Ah, so maybe people actually prefer that to the Republican platform of “we’ll take all your money and give it to billionaires, deny you healthcare and education, kidnap your friends and family and, if you complain, shoot you in the street.”

Don’t tolerate pro-MAGA Canadian Conservatives either. They’re working against Canada.

It was the first time in weeks, maybe months, that I’d felt something that used to be common in my day-to-day: excitement about the lines of code in front of me. I used to write (approximations of) Good Code most days. Somewhere along the way, everything changed. Nowadays I don’t even write the first version of most of the code I commit. I’m definitely far more productive with an agent at my side. They’re not at all horrible at this coding stuff, just not truly great at it. At the end of the day, the code they spit out is… acceptable. It gets the job done, it passes my litmus tests, but it certainly isn’t Good Code.

You use an agent to write code, the code is not very good, and it makes you miserable. You claim to have written good code every day in the past and to have been happier that way. So why do you still use the agent? Just write the code. Why complain in a blog post? Just do it the way you prefer that also gives better results.

I was saying Voo-ance.

The UK Government knew what they were planning would kill children, and they did it anyway.

Tax money must be taken from the poor and spent on the rich, not the other way round.

The head of Immigration and Customs Enforcement said he would like the agency to implement a system of trucks that rounds up immigrants for deportation in a system similar to how Amazon delivers packages around the US.

I guess the USA doesn’t have a very good railway system.

“We need to get better at treating this like a business,” the acting Ice director, Todd Lyons, said. He said that he wanted to see a deportation process “like [Amazon] Prime, but with human beings”. His comments were first reported by the Arizona Mirror.

…

Several speakers, Homan included, echoed the opinion of having a deportation system that is run like a business, with assurance that the Trump administration is depending on the private sector for completion of its mass deportation agenda. Many representatives from the military-industrial complex were in attendance.

It does present plenty of business opportunities.

He expressed hopes that the agency could utilize artificial intelligence to “free up bed space” and “fill up airplanes”, allowing Ice to deport immigrants at a quicker pace.

They want to run it with industrial efficiency so they can keep freeing up those beds.

The Ice director also said that he has been working with Elon Musk’s “department of government efficiency” (Doge) for access to social security numbers to look for “voter fraud”.

Now why would they be demanding lists of voters from every state and discussing this in the same breath as the industrial scale rounding up of undesirable people?

And yet Peter Thiel lectures about how Greta Thunberg is the Antichrist. Look closer to home, Peter! And then a little closer still!

The ongoing outrage over the proposed tax is a little funny, given that it’s already been known for quite some time that the legislation has almost no chance of being enacted. That’s because California Governor Gavin Newsom has already stated that, should the bill somehow pass, he would veto it.

That’s not funny. But the billionaires should still march. They might be surprised how many people will gladly come and help march them through the streets.

Yeah but this guy thinks Jeffries sucks for all the wrongest and dumbest reasons.

“Hakeem Jeffries makes a speech in a few days in NYC I cannot allow this terrorist to live … I will kill him for the future,” the text messages read, according to the complaint.

These people think Hakeem Jeffries is a terrorist and ICE are not. They have a chronic and apparently incurable case of wrong-about-every-damn-thing.

White House blames a staffer

That staffer’s name? David Dennison.

I have spent almost my whole life outside the USA myself, and though I saw these things in American movies etc., I wasn’t really aware of how little Americans know about what’s going on in the world, and how tilted all the information they consume is, in school and in the general culture, until I spent some time living in the USA. You make a good point though, and I wasn’t the most perceptive.

They don’t wait for death for that. Where are the rest of the Epstein files?
