I am a passionate web geek who is sure that most problems can be solved with a big bowl of ice cream. Global politics junkie. Views are my own.

@newtgingrich Can't figure out if you are just stupid or you if you are just reposting satire. I think you are just stupid. And I mean s-t-u-p-i-d To think you were a powerful politician and could for a second even consider this a rational option.

Instead of fighting over a 21-mile-wide bottleneck forever, we cut a new channel through friendly territory. A dozen thermonuclear detonations and you’ve got a waterway wider than the Panama Canal, deeper than the Suez, and safe from Iranian attacks. chinatalk.media/p/its-time

@WhiteHouse Crass, tasteless and vile. Name one other US administration in history or the government of another nation who would publish this.

If you join Trump's board of peace before midnight tonight, we'll throw in 20 Trump steaks, a Trump Mobile cell phone, a certificate from Trump University and a genuine replicate of someone else's Nobel Peace prize. Operators are standing by to f̶l̶e̶e̶c̶e̶ ̶y̶o̶u̶ take your call

When I first learned a toilet like that existed inside the White House, I was horrified President Trump is making the People’s House more elegant and beautiful for generations of Americans to come!

@currys Someone has set up an Currys account and has (by mistake I presume) given you my email address -- how can I fix this? I'm in Australia so can only do this online - can you help?

@AnishKattukaran Could "broadcast" come back for Google Workspace Legacy users? This was great for years, then went, came back, then went suddenly about a year go. Please don't forget the Legacy users - we're stuck between a rock and a hard place 🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻

@MrSeanFinlay I too loved Beyond 2000 - I even had the book! Your dad and all the other presenters created a informative entertaining program that I loved to watch. We never ended up with that robot that could push kids on a swing -- maybe in "Beyond 2030"?

It would have been nice if the Logie awards mentioned my father foreign correspondent / presenter Iain Finlay in memoriam after his extensive career in Australian television first as a presenter on ABC This Day Tonight then as co host of Beyond 2000 😔 #Logies2025

@FrankLeeSG @SawyerMerritt That's bullshit. Musk said that about 5 years ago. I used to drink that Kool-Aid, but I don't believe Musk anymore ... and especially strongly since he joined up with that orange faced rapist in the White House

@SawyerMerritt Selling a Tesla is a BAD idea. These vehicles will appreciate in value tremendously over time as autonomy takes over. Selling a used Tesla for $30k today will probably cost you $100k+ over the next 5+ years

Opinion piece by Tesla owner Michele Miller in the Boston Globe: "I didn’t buy my Tesla in 2020 to make a political statement. I bought it to stop burning gas; And I’m not going to undo that choice just because the narrative around it has changed. What’s unfolding now is a case study in how some progressive movements have become more invested in symbols than systems; Years ago, when I bought my first Tesla, it was the political right that mocked the car. My father — a lifelong Republican — urged me to get rid of it. He saw it as a symbol of elitism: impractical, smug, unnecessary. I bought my second Tesla in 2024 for the same reason as the first: to continue reducing my reliance on fossil fuels. Now, that same father has warmed to it. Tesla is often praised in conservative circles, while many progressives are actively protesting against the company. What changed? Not the car, but the story we tell about it. If the political pendulum can swing that easily, maybe the car isn’t the problem. Maybe we’ve just gotten too comfortable treating every purchase as a declaration of identity, rather than asking: What does this tool actually do? What troubles me is the selective outrage. It’s easy to denounce a choice you didn’t make. It’s even easier to suggest someone sell an expensive, low-emission vehicle without acknowledging the real trade-offs involved. Progress, after all, isn’t just about individual choices, it’s also about building systems that make better choices possible. Tesla’s EV charging network, once exclusive to its own customers, is now opening to other electric vehicles, creating critical infrastructure for broader clean transportation. That’s a tangible environmental good that extends far beyond any single company or CEO. So no, I’m not selling my Tesla. Not because I’m ignoring the conversation — but because I’m engaged in it. Because I believe evolution doesn’t come from symbolic purging. It comes from working — however imperfectly — toward progress." Full piece: bostonglobe.com/2025/05/09/opi…
