We have all heard of the amazing job done by Captain Sellenberger landing his plane on the Hudson River. Another bunch of heroes I have never heard of. [Youtube video (@ForgottenHighlights-usa) I hope it's true not AI slop as so much is these days]

Just curious. Does the US Congress still exist or is it all rule by Exec Order only?

And why do all US politicians look so smug during interviews. "Trust me. I am smiling. I must be telling the truth". Hmm

Trump can call it he wants. To the rest of the World it will still be Lake Ontario. (Has anybody told him we still call it the Gulf of Mexico?)

And I manage without aircon!

Don't watch! It's only as game and not worth the money on most occasions. Better value for money watching a local game. More real that matching a bunch of overpaid footballers funding an over paid sport.

Unbelievable. Where does Trump find his cabinet members?

I might try Bsky filters and moderation again. Arsenal and football are my immediate thoughts!

@therestpolitics.bsky.social After listening to the Rest is Politics and recommendations of other podcasts I listened to The Wargame. I was sort of aware of the background but listening to Ep 1. A good listen but scary stuff!!

Obviously making shoes that nobody seems to be buying and AI coding are sooo complimentary that investment bots jump on 'AI' Stupid!

What a twat! You give that up when you are 4yrs old!! What adult is impressed with a 79yr old behaving like that!

Me too:

So. The Attorney General of the US and the Homeland Security can share a photo of Nekima Levy Armstrong but strangely the photos are different. AI. This means we can't trust anything published by the US Govt. How the mighty have fallen to the gutter!

I read an article on here today. The way to control/crush the US "ego". The way to control the US is for countries to sell US bonds. US debt is astronomical. Selling US bonds big time would crush them!! Just stop funding them!! Stop buying US Govt debt!

It's driving me crazy!! I don't want AI in every app I use. I don't want to add Extensions to my browsers. I hate constant reminders. I worked in IT for over 40 yrs. Can we have a FO button to save me hrs of saying NO! ? Oh. And I agree for you to remember my cookie settings from last time!

Can't say I am impressed and doubtful I would look for work done by Laurent. Just a personal choice

I was watching an episode of Jimmy Kimmel Live on Youtube. How can Americans not be so embarrassed by Trump??

Here is a problem that Trump seems to have missed. He seems to think that every member of the US Armed Forces and the National Guard are MAGA freaks and will do 100% what he says. There was a guy who ruled Romania 24 yrs who thought the same. Nicolae Ceaușescu. Didn't end well did it?

How does one man, Mike Johnson, have the power to keep the US Congress closed for so long? US. Home of Democracy? You are fooling yourselves America!!

I am so glad I do not live in the US. What a nightmare!

Nope. Like Perrier. Tap water with a fancy title and a big marketing budget!

I can't help feeling that this is a failure of base security. Group are not exactly violent terrorists. Spray painting! Terrible crime!! Thank god they weren't!

Is this where the US is going? Sort of feeling like this now. Scary isn't it?

Maybe we should all go Canadian. Stop buying anything from the US. Tariffs? No problem!

Well Donald. Trashed the stock markets, world economy and upset an island where only penguins live. Brilliant!

@jonsopel1.bsky.social Listening to The News Agents. A correction. Not everyone subscribes to Netflix. Too many subscription services. Not possible to do all. So no, I haven't watched "Adolescence", or "Games of Thrones"

An American success story? Musk maybe cutting US Fed costs but he is screwing his own companies. He supports a man who hates EV, denies climate change and loves tariffs. Guess what? Surprise, surprise! Maybe Gov contracts make up for loss of wealth????

Could someone remind Donald that the World economy outside the US is larger than the US economy. If he wants to be isolated we are all beginning to agree with him!

Gene Rodenbury had the vision, right or wrong. The ST way has lost the idea since he died. To be honest? I don't watch it any more

Consequences of your actions Elon. Perhaps you might want to consider those! It's not all about wearing tee shirts in the White House!

EM asks us to stop funding Wikipedia. Sorry. It's not 100% accurate but a much better source of info than anything you say or publish! I made my usual annual, small donation!

Not 100% sure but at a guess it will be like some newspapers now. You pay to reject cookies and stop pilfering as much data as possible to sell to advertising companies, or they deny you access. I preferred it when you could deny the use of cookies, put up with a few crap, unwatched adverts!

Apparently global warming is just a myth. Happy Christmas Europe!

Denmark? I did a project there once. I was told that there were no corporate taxes. Everything was paid by the individual. But then they were quite well paid too. A choice!

If anyone is interested, today is the 219th anniversary of the Battle of Trafalgar and the death of Admiral Lord Nelson.

Checking dictionary. How do you spell obscurity?

Wouldn't it be nice if you could mute/block posts based on content not just user name? For example. I didn't like Oasis and don't give a S**T about reunion or pricing arguments!
