All the pearl-clutching about Zohran Mamdani--by right-wingers who elected a half-senile old TV star president--is very amusing. For once the shoe is on the other foot.

While I love seeing everyone's democracy sausages this election day, surely its a missed opportunity that nobody seems to be selling baked potatoes given one of the candidates. Just saying, I mean he is pretty cooked right?

the European media headline I woke up to this morning: "I think that was the dumbest most economically illiterate speech I have ever heard". The only plus side is they waited for the markets to close before it aired

Holiday in Vanuatu
Turmoil has engulfed the Galactic Republic. Trade deficits owed by the Trade Federation are in dispute. Hoping to resolve the matter with a blockade of deadly tariffs, the greedy Trade Federation has tariffed all shipping to the neighbouring planets of Nabooxico and Canadaleraan...

Its probably says something when a news reporter prefixes a statement with "Normally when President Trump says something like this, its not normally true, but this time it is."

So Canada has responded with 25% tariffs on the USA in kind, but are targeting only goods sourced from "Red/MAGA" states. So I guess California is ok?

Its official USA tariff on Canada, 25% on everything except energy @10%. With the threat that it will be increased if Canada imposes retaliatory Tariffs on USA exports. The rest of the world now watching intently, it all seems like the twilight zone.

Just when you thought Trump was already a POS, he goes one step further blaming the mid air crash on "Diversity" with absolutely no evidence what so ever. In my experience, the very reason diversity is important is to improve the expertise of a given profession not make it worse.

We are going to Vanuatu for a 2 week holiday next month, What Im really looking forward too is extremely bad internet and no mention of the word "trump" for at least two weeks.

A giant flower with an unusual smell is drawing attention to Sydney's botanical gardens. The Corpse flower has started to bloom and is expected to fully open tonight - the first time in 15 years.
