The American President is dropping F bombs and praising Allah on Easter Sunday, while the Islamic Republic of Iran is responding with Lego-themed hip hop diss track videos.

Whatever is running the simulation we are all in is trolling us hard.

Intense russian video from the Hostomel air assault attempt at the beginning of the war in Ukraine. The intrepid documentarian and every paratrooper you see in the video was KIA.

If Greg Abbot shaved his head, he could look similar to Mola Ram, and the Texas GOP might already be a Thuggee cult. :hmm:

Quote from: Zanza on Today at 11:18:46 AMI consider doing a roadtrip in Southern England (i.e. get a car in Heathrow and drive west) in summer. Any particular ideas that I would miss from just reading the typical tourist guides?
Honestly the places in the tourist guide are probably the ones I'd recommend, especially Bath and Salisbury (both will be busy). Bristol is great and a bit more lively. It would probably be worth trying to do a bit of the countryside like the Cotswolds or the South Downs (I've heard Arundel is nice as a base - but never been). Lots of nice walks in those areas which can be circular. And on that, the walk over Seven Sisters is good.

Quote from: Zanza on Today at 01:17:58 PMWhen asked if destroying civilian infrastructure is a war crime, Trump dehumanised Iranians and called them animals. Another step in his fascism speedrun.

That's not new. Trump has been calling foreigners subhuman for decades, it was a big part of all of his Presidential campaigns.

This is what the AfD wants for Germany.

QuoteTrump says that his frustrations with NATO "all began with, if you want to know the truth, Greenland. We want Greenland. They don't want to give it to us, and I said, 'bye bye!'"

One of the big advantages the Canadian banking system has is its stability.  We made a conscious choicenot to follow the American deregulation model.  I suspect that is why the hedge fund manager doesn't like the banking system in Canada.
