Keep asking him about his health

NEW: Trump says it is "seditious, perhaps even treasonous" to question his health

It will be interesting to see how that pans out for fans visiting for the World Cup next year.

Looking at the invasion of privacy the price of flights, hotels, transport, food and tickets - go to a match in Canada and take in a BlueJays game while you're there 😁

The needle is currently at Henry VIII and moving backwards. It's going to have to traverse the dynastic free for all of the Wars of the Roses (which was interspersed with various French foreign campaigns). You'll then get to Edward I. and smash your immediate neighbours, King John where you will lose all your overseas territories, Henry II where you murder your nations spiritual head before presumably settling at William the bastard. All without the slightest suggestion of irony.

I guess there is a bit of Louis XIV thrown in, but that would wasted on the fiercely Anglophones who want a bit of kingly action.

I am starting the clock with King George (III), naturally.

DH and I have accepted that we are unlikely to travel to the US again before 2029. (Even if DH's family are unwell.)

DH has dual nationality - became a UK citizen in Jan 2019 and is now concerned that dual nationality might be something the current administration could target.

DC also dual nationals but born in the UK with only one parent a US citizen so they could also be at risk if things get worse.

As for me - a European/UK commie with several SM/email accounts that have squillions of posts openly advocating for Drumpf's painful demise.

So we're definitely fucked!

unfortunately due to the current political background I’m not planning to visit America though I’d love to see relatives there, however would risk for serious illness. My problem apart from this site is that I constantly forget every password and there some sites my iPhone won’t remember so I would not be able to access. I opened a new MN one, think more than 5 years ago after a data breach but no clue how to see the old one.

Let's just hope there is no social media mega hack that inserts loads of dodgy stuff into peoples feeds from years ago.

I am reminded of a friend of mine who was asked by a straight-faced US customs officer whether he had the internet on his laptop. He was unsure how to explain the nature of the internet, so simply replied "no".

And Democrats flip a Florida Mayor seat too.

Someone on bluesky ran that post through an AI checker and it diagnosed like 7 forms of mental illness

AI can't check AI.

Hmmm. So should I stop having my Grok therapist check my Claude therapist?

😂

I honestly think that this could have been a report on N. Korea. Both bonkers and spine-chilling at the same time.

Bit more info in this Grauniad report.

You could always run them past Gemini. Which Google are currently running peoples home automations with.

How to destroy the us tourist industry in one fell swoop.

Go to Mexico or Canada. No brainer.

Or stay at home, have late night BBQ and a shed load of cheap supermarket beer.
Quietly, obvs.
😁

⭕️ Trump is threatening new sanctions against the ICC unless the court agrees not to prosecute Trump or other US officials in the future.

Specifically, the US wants the ICC to amend its founding treaty, the Rome Statute, to exempt US officials. The move requires the support of 2/3 of ICC member...

I was trying to work out Trump's posts on Truth Social.
He does not type.
He does not read.

Assumption is that
either - an underling types for him (sitting listening to him all night)
or - its all voice to text including the capslock
or - 3rd option ?

He is able to type. He just isn't able to type rational sentences.

A long ago source from NYC told me he does not type or read.
Stuff is read to him and he dictates replies.

He does not drive either remember

His defence of "covefe" made me sure he was defending his own illiterate mistake, not somebody else's!
