Donald I, emperor of the world.

Wait... we've gone from super nerd to mega nerd in a few paragraphs! What next; terabyte nerd?

My first job after I finished my PhD was at a tech startup. We had two types of business cards (remember those?), a proper one and a jokey one. My job title in the jokey one was teranerd.

ICE 'agent' gets busted by the cops:
{poor dude, he's 'going through a divorce right now'. I wonder why?)

Does anyone else think it's weird that the USA is still doing "standard field sobriety exercises" instead of just "blow into the tube sir"? I mean they invented the thing - why don't they use it? What the f*ck is walking along a line proving to anyone?

Don't Americans like the phrase "probable cause" when looking to charge someone? Something to do with that perhaps?
Or infringing a person's rights? - Unless of course you are a MAGA Supreme Court Justice, which seems to qualify you to trample on rights thought to have been long established.
Also, I thought each State is in theory independent, but there is an overarching US statute within which each State operates. Hence the mish mash of gun laws.

States rights only apply to red states not wanting to behave with human decency.

It certainly proved something beyond reasonable doubt in that video.

All of a sudden Trump government departments have decided to start Bluesky accounts as the 'libs' have given up on X. I don't think it's for the free flow of mutually beneficial ideas and civil debate. In fact:

Fortunately, unlike X that have blocked blocking and promote paid-for blue-tick accounts to the top of every discussion, Bluesky allows users to block whoever they want to, and to order discussions in different ways.
