Well, you will not be surprised to find out that the Tangerine Tyrant has threatened the EU with constraints on supplies of Liquified Natural Gas (LNG) from the USA (now that global supply is constricted by the US/Israeli attack(s) on Iran), if they fail to pass the delayed EU/US trade deal without amendments.
So having delayed the ratification with his threats to Greenland, Trump is now using his disruption of LNG markets to drive his trade agenda.
Once a bully...
#Ocado's online experience for new customers is awful. I got a voucher offering 30% off a first order which should be £25 and applying the voucher only gave £5 discount.
So I'm sitting waiting for a chat op to delete my account as this is not an option in the account settings - which I believe is required by UK law.
The sham that is the #ICO are of course not enforcing consumer rights like this.
The “main goal” of the Iran War may have changed, reports Washington Post: “Israeli officials said securing the [Strait of Hormuz] for energy shipments could become the war’s main goal now that regime change and ending Iran’s ability to obtain a nuclear weapon seem out of reach.”
So the AIM is try to have what we had before the illegal war, but at higher cost and less fuel supply having bombed it.
And all for the cost of 200 Billion and counting
You are being manipulated.
American Fiction is a brilliant and entertaining film. On iPlayer now.
#TrumpTheChump thinks threatening the Iranian regime will bring them to his will.
We can now look forward to more escalation from the idiots on both sides and more devastating economic effects for billions of people around the world.
How's the #FIFA Peace Prize looking now?
Meanwhile #Gaza is still a war zone and the #Epstein files have not gone away.
We are not the picture that was painted, the image that was sold, the misunderstandings that became codified.
We are empathetic, we are creative, we are moral and ethical (often uncompromisingly so), and we can be happy.

@gnome I've used #Gnome since it was added to Ubuntu, with some customisation to make it more traditional Windows task bar style. I love the multiple desktop support which helps me manage and switch between tasks (with shortcuts tweaked to move windows between each etc). Brave & LibreFox repopulate all the desktops after a reboot. Very slick.
I don't like that you've added content filtering, and the "to protect children" narrative really grates.
In one sense, I like the idea of human.json creating a "web of humanity" ( https://codeberg.org/robida/human.json )
But the reason I won't be joining in is:
- AI scrapers are ruthless and well known for ignoring robots.txt restrictions.
- The high value web content is the human-written content, to avoid model collapse risks (training LLMs on LLM content).
- So providing a network of human content will be like gold dust for AI companies. I bet they're rubbing their hands with glee.
