Replying to @reuters.com

they have a new model called the 'Flintstone' which they believe is more in keeping with current US trends

Finally Government policy is really having an impact on the global renewable push. It is a shame it's the Iranian Government and not our own but hey.............

You swallow all that religious nonsense in and well - it’s got to go somewhere

"In these situations, one expects to hear that the shooter was in the midst of a psychotic episode." Instead, he was a seemingly functional, deeply religious family man. That is terrifying.

Every institution of American life and most of the population has become a prop. The normalcy with which this is being treated around the globe is staggering.

If you allow yourselves to be used as a prop you don't get to go coy when called upon. You knew what he was and you could've said no. You didn't. So this is who you are, Juventus. We see you.

It seems that the US legal system rewards those with stamina and deep pockets. There will be a judge somewhere you can rely on. The worry is the Democrats (if they ever get power again) may walk all and sundry in order to “ heal the nation”

If the American nightmare ends at the ballot box ( which is looking like longer odds almost daily) will the new government call for “ healing” by letting all the criminal shit being done go by like water under the bridge?

Bondi: "The domestic terrorism -- Tesla. Nine cases in seven jurisdictions and we have made it crystal clear, no negotiations. These people are facing 20 years in prison."

There should no surprise in folks in uniforms whose job was to protect turning into oppressors super quick given the environment and encouragement. The people who lost the generation of Chileans under Pinochet were once regular people - neighbours, sons and husbands

what an injustice, a whistle blower is in jail and a war criminal is walking around as free as a bird...some legislative overhaul is desperately needed... www.abc.net.au/news/2025-05...

News that Rinehart is funding Roberts-Smith legal self flagellation will no doubt remediate her public reputation in a way consistent with her portrait tantrum and Dutton Liberal backing efforts did. Go get em Gina!

What I don’t understand is how a country that can vote for trump and circus can tune in to a show like Jeopardy year after year. Do they know it’s a show about knowing stuff?

The US is a violent and cruel culture. You can see it in the guns, the love of jails and capital punishment, the endless wars and worship of armed force. It’s in their arts and in their politics.

One day Australians will wake up and discover that ANZAC day - a day of commemoration has been fully co-opted by racist cranks dreaming of a glorious time of white valour and other assorted nonsense. We already suffer through that other day of confected patriotism called Australia Day.

Whilst the whole fall of US empire is playing out along with all of its crime,perversion and corruption the legal theft of pension funds globally continues at an increased pace. Only one group wins from the big falls and rises in equities and it’s not the working folk

I love the US - travelled there many times. In particular the south for its food and friendly welcoming people. I was absent though for the first four years of Trump and have no intention of setting foot in the country through the next four. What a miserable and dangerous time.

You are up to date.
