Trump continues to threaten to cut off trade with Spain to “punish” them.

But the U.S. runs a $4.8 billion trade SURPLUS with Spain. We are winning that deal. And Spain is in the EU, so you can’t just target Spain alone.

This isn’t America First, it’s America Confused.

A black-and-white political cartoon by Ron Cobb features a large bomb mushroom cloud rising over a city skyline with the ironic text, "LET YOUR FAITH LIGHT THE WORLD...". A black-and-white political cartoon by Ron Cobb features a small child in a bed nestled among the rounded tops of massive nuclear missiles marked with American and Soviet flags. In a black-and-white editorial cartoon by Ron Cobb, a disheveled man stands in a vast wasteland of debris, looking bewildered as he holds a broken portable television set and an unplugged power cord. In a black-and-white editorial cartoon by Ron Cobb, a man in a suit stands atop rubble shaking his fist at a distant mushroom cloud, exclaiming that bombing only strengthens their will to resist while a second man lies defeated in the debris below.

Before becoming the fantastic designer we know, Ron Cobb (Alien, Total Recall, The Last Starfighter, Aliens, Back to the Future, The Abyss, Rocketeer, Space Truckers, Firefly...) was a cartoonist in the late 1960s.

With the same talent.

Seeing these findings in black and white takes it to a new level.

Starmer has to go, but Scotland needs rid of the entire British establishment. The buck should stop with him yes - but these documents show how mucky and irreparable the entire nasty system is.

Badenoch said if she was prime minister HMS Dragon would have left a week ago. Presumably with its doors hanging off and with no weapons onboard.

You know the best way to kill AI? Don't use it. Don't buy it. Don't share it. Don't give the people who use it your labour or your money.

#SpringArrivalSpotlights are back, and we’re kicking off with Chiffchaffs!

Flitting back from Southern Europe & North Africa through March-April, their sweet 'chiff-chaff' song is the sound of spring.

Listen for them in parks and hedgerows.

Have you heard one calling near you?
