Wasn’t this exactly by design? Get lots of supporters to buy in, get the price to surge, and then sell at a profit (the good old ‘pump and dump’)?

The fact that Infantino believes Trump shows yet again just how stupid he (Infantino) is. I never thought FIFA could do worse than Sepp Blatter. Man was I wrong!

They’d swear it was chocolate and lap it up.

“Nothing bad can happen, it can only good happen.” -Donald Trump

Is this the ‘American’ he speaks?

Yes. Yes it is. And that sums everything up perfectly.

And Viking/Danish. And Celtic.

Cool for the UK. They can focus on other things now.

“I don’t blame President Trump for the death of my son, 'cause he wasn’t the one who pulled the trigger,” Reyes said

“I don’t blame the enclosure manager who deliberately released all the leopards and told them to eat the faces of people like my son, because it wasn’t his teeth that actually tore the faces off.”

In sorry for her loss. But at the same time, what a fucking idiot.

Based on the fact that she recently wasted time in a committee meeting by asking Hilary Clinton about Pizzagate, she is still very much part of the problem.

Weren’t a bunch of analysis predicting this? The trump administration had apparently requested that Israel strike first to provide a flimsy excuse for firing their own missiles at Iran when the Ayatollah and his gang inevitably retaliates against Israel.

Congrats Cuba on joining the huge and ever-growing list of ‘countries Trump is threatening to invade’. Please have a seat between Canada and (checks notes)… Greenland?!

(The whole Greenland things is still and will forever be so ridiculous that it beggars belief.)

Either way, Dr Beverly Crusher would be aroused.

Because Ukraine has nothing better to do than sabotage the energy resources of an EU country. /s

Orban is a fucking joke. I hope Hungarians see through his bullshit.

These are very reasonable questions. But I don’t really want to know the answers to them.

To quote Pearl Jam:

Born on third,

Thinks (s)he got a triple.

I thought 2025 was supposed to be “the moment” for AI PCs. Dell and other manufacturers were sure as hell spamming the shit out of that premise in their incessant online ads. But then it all fell through because of the sagging economy on Main Street, and the fact that many people didn’t like AI being forced down they’re proverbial throats. So yeah, 2026 won’t be any better for this ill-thought out marketing strategy.

Oh okay. Looks like World Book is still printing encyclopedias though.

Sounds like you’re talking about an old-school encyclopedia book collection. Like Encyclopedia Britannica. They take up a lot of physical space and sing if the information becomes outdated quickly. But they are a great source for history, geography, science, etc. And you might be able to find them second-hand from an online seller for a relatively reasonable price.

That must be why they are doing okay, haha.

The original creator of Twitter and now creator of Bluesky and whatever this thing that’s falling off the rails is.

Basically another billionaire living in his own little bubble and huffing his own farts too much.

Oh for sure. Indoctrination plays a huge part. My wife is a good example of that. She was raised to be critical of feminism and was always told a woman’s place was in the home serving her husband. But she broke out of that mindset. (She saya I played a big part of that, but I think I only played a very minor role and by far the biggest factor was her critical thinking and intelligence.)

But it reaches a point where there’s a sense of willful ignorance - where people have to go out of their way via sustained mental gymnastics to avoid putting two and two together. And that’s when it gets frustrating.

Hopefully this lady can wake up and break free of her psychological prison. Because right now she apparently couldn’t see the point if it got inches from her face.
