Gen Z's opinion of Trump has shifted dramatically in just 3 months; a massive negative shift of 37 points from +19 to -18. It's too bad it took implementing Project 2025 instead of just reading it or watching a video about it or listening to a podcast about it.

4th February 2025, Norman Wisdom would have been 110. So here's a photo of him at The Goldstone, former home of Brighton & Hove Albion FC, singing "a new club song" (I was told it was Sussex by the Sea)
Apologies for being a day late, missed doing yesterday.

The scale of the decline of Google search in quality, relevance, usability and more should have triggered a full-scale alarm in Alphabet’s boardroom months ago.
The fact the company is just plodding on while its core product is visibly worse than it was is a disaster.
