2025 goes down as the ~3rd-warmest year on record (based on ERA5).
Like in 2024, every single day this past year was warmer than the average of even the most recent reference period (1991-2020).

babe wake up, they're doing insider trading on war crimes
“What appears to be a newly created account appeared to invest $30,000 Friday in Maduro's exit. After Maduro went into custody Saturday morning, that same investor netted $436,759.61.”
Someone made $400K by predicting Maduro's capture. Here's what happened
The winnings come as the rules governing prediction markets are still evolving.

can't help feeling that, if Trump just wanted to get rid of an authoritarian dictator, he had a much easier option open to him
Ugh and now we're talking about how Maduro was an authoritarian dictator
Hey you fucking assholes, do you know how many authoritarian dictators there are in this world?

Trump just announces the US will be running Venezuela now, until the can do a "safe, proper, and judicious" transfer of power. Announcing an occupation before you've occupied a country is a new one.

Trump announcing to the world that the US will only let a puppet take over Venezuela.
FOX & FRIENDS: What do you think is next for the Venezuelan people now that you have removed Maduro so he can face American justice?
TRUMP: Well, we're making that decision now. We can't take a chance on letting somebody else run it, just take over where he left off. So we're making that decision

It was the 3rd of January he randomly bombed Iran too, I remember because it was my birthday weekend, and then obviously tried a coup on the 6th the next year, think this might just be his natural reaction to the end of the Christmas season & running out of Quality Streets

Well, I think we know what to give this good boy don’t we?

There is, to my mind, no justification for the continued use by the UK Government of X as a platform for official comms. There hasn't been for some time, in fact, but if the latest developments around AI-generated image abuse and CSAM don't change the policy I really don't know what will.
