BRFR Cake Stop 'breaking news' miscellany

[Pross]

Apparently Musk has been musing about buying Ryanair...

And I thought they couldn't have a bigger dick than O'Leary

Only because O'Leary called him an idiot.

In other news, who'd have thought that in their lifetime they'd see actual video of the surface of Pluto?

Perhaps we could divert Trump's attention and tell him that the whole of the core of Pluto is just oil...

Sorry, it's not new news (from 2015, apparently), but it's just popped up, and when other things are looking so bleak...

 

[briantrumpet]

Back to bleakness, and a reminder that everyone perceives things in their own way... these popped up next to each other in my feed...

AI innit

I think I would be out protesting if this was near me... reminds me of the short-sightedness of ripping up track beds and selling them off after Beeching, rather than mothballing for potential future use.

It was more that I was wondering what Musk's reasoning was... a fleet to invade Europe with and to repopulate with white Christo-nationalists, and to deport people with brown skin?

You mean deporting people after a week in Benidorm? 😂

I thought the launch was longer ago than that. Your subsequent post confirms it. Gawd I'm old.

As I posted in the Starmer thread. Lots of words but saying nothing new.

Yet another decision that is blatantly stoopid.

I don't think it's necessarily saying nothing though. Hidden in his bland statements will be stuff that's been agreed between the European leaders... even something as seemingly vapid as "alliances matter because they are built on respect and partnership, not pressure" is a rebuke, and an invitation to anyone left in the US administration who isn't nodding along to Trump's lunacy with enthusiasm to reconsider. It's vanishingly unlikely, I'll admit, but I imagine that there are diplomatic threats being transmitted behind the scenes, as well as offering off-ramps for de-escalating.

Unfortunately, Trump is still the most powerful and dangerous person in the world, despite being a complete raving lunatic.
