Farage rally is just a Trump mini-me. This is just "they're eating the dogs! they're eating the cats!" with an English accent.
24.09.2025 11:45 โ ๐ 5 ๐ 0 ๐ฌ 0 ๐ 0I still can't quite believe that the very first attacks from Labour on Farage's bonkers idea to kick millions of people with INDEFINITE right to remain out of the UK were to argue that it's infeasible and wouldn't save anything like the amount he claimed.
How about:
- It's WRONG
- It's IMMORAL
?
It seems like they are attacking a named product - Tylenol - rather than the active ingredient in it - acetaminophen (paracetamol) - because Trump can pronounce "Tylenol" but can't pronounce "acetaminophen".

It's specifically designed to eliminate the wavelengths associated with LED streetlights and I have genuinely been surprised at its effectiveness given that this is from Twickenham. FLO has a page that shows the technical data.

Yeah. Trump was terrified of how ordinary people would react so he hid behind security like a scared little boy hiding behind his mommy's skirt. Those were the "security reasons".

Grok is lagging. I asked it a question on the meaning of the question "Wer ist der Gral?" in Wagner's opera Parsifal. Whereas ChatGPT and Gemini gave thoughtful answers about why it is phrased like that, Grok gave the schoolboy answer that Parsifal wrongly thought the Grail was a person.

05.07.2025 22:00 โ ๐ 0 ๐ 0 ๐ฌ 0 ๐ 0The Project 2025 agenda was there in black and white before the election. Many of us said - repeatedly - that Trump was going to introduce a Fascist agenda that would target minorities and his political opponents. Rogan and the MSM chose to ignore what was staring them in the face.

As Trump heads to the so-called โgrand openingโ of the Florida migrant facility, this definition - from the Holocaust Memorial Museum - needs to be widely shared and understood.
