Well Enola Gay wasn’t :)

One of my favourites is recently is “The good parts of the economy are mine and the bad parts are Bidens”, A close second “if you remove the negative parts GDP actually grew 3%” Btw, the gender names was onion.

We used to have a skydiving couple at the dz, Jody and Danielle. Jody worked in a call centre and Danielle as a mechanic. It was amazing how often people mixed up who was who (Jody was the husband)

How about a game of is this real news or an onion article? Trump Makes Stunning Deal With Mexican Cartel Leader to allow 17 family members to resettle in the US

No, I’ll have to watch it. It’s pretty interesting that for the most part she was caught because of trying to cover up the crime. If she’d just come out and said “oh shit, I picked the wrong mushrooms and here’s a sample” she would have been a lot better off.

https://www.abc.net.au/news/2025-05-13/erin-patterson-death-cap-mushroom-murder-trial-fungi-expert/105285630 This is the big news in Australia at the moment. It’s quite an interesting case as the ex husband had got sick a couple of times previously when she had invited him over for dinner. Mushroom foraging is quite a big thing as we have psychedelic mushrooms that grow in the wild. There was a case a few months ago where a woman died at a mushroom retreat (unintentional poisoning by the host). I find it amusing that the focus today has been that the only thing wrong with Erin was that she had “chapped lips”.

Enjoy your travels. Yes only so much madness you can take. There used to be a UK news segment published by one of the mobile providers called weird news. It published articles like “man bites dog” and other real news that was whacky. That’s essentially become mainstream news these days.

What do you mean?

We need the republic of Joe :) If we follow the Trump model we can get a C130 donated by a foreign government

I don’t believe in the antichrist. Just an interesting article (that hopefully also makes a few evangelicals reconsider Trump)

https://www.psypost.org/people-with-lower-cognitive-ability-more-likely-to-fall-for-pseudo-profound-bullshit/ This is an interesting study on critical thinking and the relationship to pseudo-profound bullshit.

https://theconversation.com/what-will-the-antichrist-look-like-according-to-western-thought-an-authoritarian-king-or-the-pope-256205 This is quite an interesting article discussing Trump’s pope comments

And in the Whitehouse!

Having grown up under Mugabe. Even he was more circumspect with his corruption. My step dad was very religious and used to say that the acceptance of sin and debauchery was the beginning of an empires collapse. Looking at the US, I like he was right to some degree. When you’ve got a president posting AI pictures of himself as the pope, a king and a warrior etc, you’ve hit a comedic level of insanity.

Awesome planes! My uncle flies model planes and it’s essentially a retirement village at the club.

The news about needing a real ID to get through TSA, does that include domestic flights? Are you or will you be required to have it on you at all times? We had that back in Zimbabwe with National ID cards. If so it’s ironic as I can travel anywhere domestically in Australia with no ID (including flights).

It’s mind blowing the pace of change in the US. The political silence is deafening and it’s scary to watch. The 100 day stats were that congress has passed about 5 bills, one of the worst performances in history. Trump is ruling by imperial decree and largely ignoring court orders he doesn’t like. It’s sad because American’s have historically had a strong spine and willingness to stand up for rights. Yet it’s now common to see old ladies dragged out from town meetings by police for asking the wrong questions.

I’ve been thinking about the Trump comment on only 2 dolls or 5 pencils. While I’m sure he’s not an environmentalist, I believe excessive consumption is a problem. It used to be that we had a couple of treasured possessions and would save for them. What we did have was often much higher quality than is available now on the shelves of Kmart etc. The cheap junk toys, cookware and other items don’t last and contribute to landfill and pollution. While it will be a shock and change to the expectations of so many in the west, and arguably goes against capitalist ideals fed by consumerism, I think Trump has accidentally become a champion for one aspect of the environmental movement. Maybe it’s naive nostalgia, but it would be nice to see the rise of a few quality toy brands again, and model making.

I honestly think this has very little to do with money or the film industry, but more a Trumpian dictatorship move. He’s aggressively attacking any media that is contrary to his opinions and trying to shut them down. I just see this as the first baby step in him looking to shut out any foreign news and information sources. He’s not dumb enough to outright ban BBC etc, but he’s shown to be remarkably skill full at boiling the American frog

Considering he’s not bright enough to recognise photoshop I dread to think what he makes of AI.

I’m sure you’ll take this as a badge of honour, but Trump doing that is crass and tasteless. He’s genuinely a narcissistic cunt to use an Aussie term. I’m not catholic, and have no affiliation to them. But have a little respect for people’s dignity. The pope deserves respect. Honestly, the Trump administration makes the movie The Dictator look sane.

Explains the FAA and plane crashes!
