I’ve looked and no one seems to be using Tim CookingApple as a dis. Sure it’s a bit puerile but it gets the job done as another huge company risks the Tesla treatment due to Tr*mp fealty. Not that we have much choice as they’re all at it in the multi-national tech market...😮‍💨

@mrjamesob.bsky.social Hoping you might do an hour on Canada tomorrow. Its sovereignty has been threatened by Trump near daily - with economics rather than bombs, for now, but the results could be the same. Does the Commonwealth or Nato have contingency plans for something like this? Thx
