This.
We've only ended up with these ridiculouly short cycles because people fall for the marketing.
Thriwing down a grand each year for a minor upgrade is mental.
There's no such thing as device hoarding. Tech companies need to stop selling slightly better models every year at extreme cost.

It's unsustainable and people are starting to be fucking done with it.

Something as expensive as a smart phone should last you years.

It’s clear to anyone paying attention that Farage won’t investigate the Russian infiltration of Reform.

The Prime Minister must step up and launch a national investigation.

There's some weird shit going on here... i had a nightmare that somebody had injured my nose and woke up with a nose bleed. Nightmare on Elm Street shit, or did my brain recognise that i was having a nose bleed and work it into the nightmare?

Stephen Miller is of Ashkenazi Jewish descent. His great-grandparents inhabited the Pale of Settlement (western Russia where Jews were allowed to live) and escaped Russian pogroms and the Holocaust. All the same racist, xenophobic, ignorant things he is saying were said about his own family.

I look foreard to the day that Hegseth faces justice.
Offering the survivors of a missile strike no quarter and then ordering a second strike to finish them off puts Hegseth in deep, deep water. He gave an illegal order. This is either murder or a war crime. It doesn't matter what your title is, Secretary of Defense, or Fox Talk Show Host. It's murder.

There's no way Trump wrote this... my money would be on Miller.
In case you thought you were safe bc you aren't one of his currently identified enemies to kidnap and deport, take a look at this line:

"and remove anyone who is not a net asset to the United States, or is incapable of loving our Country..."

No one is safe when a bully is in charge.

I'm sure the native Americans would fully agree.

Germans don't like shoddy cars.

"Tesla Model Y ranked last for reliability among nearly new cars in Germany's TÜV 2026 report.
17.3% of Model Ys failed serious safety inspections; common issues included brakes and suspension."

Everything Trumpiggy does starts from the premise: how do we avoid the law/rule. He should be rotting in a cell for all the crimes he has committed and the criminal behavior he has fostered.

Reposting as it didn't get the traction it deserved the first time around. Sleepy town of Lewes drags a massive effigy of a demonic Elon through the streets before burning it.
Didn't make it to mainstream media.

"they reveal the lengths to which Elon Musk is capable. A dangerous game where greed, lust for power, and blind ambition claim lives."

Musk is an enemy to Democracy.
He's using his wealth to promote every far right group out there and yo sow discord in those countries.
The fall of Tesla and Musk can't come soon enough.
Next time someone asks what's the matter with Musk's Twitter, show them this:
An account in India, amplifying a billionaire from South Africa being cheered by an Irish passport holder (using an alias) to encourage civil unrest in the UK.
