Turns out diversity is no one's strength, since diversity wars are raging in Africa, Asia, Central America, South America, and even eastern Europe.

I really think so.

Here's my proof.
It's the only planet we know of that has chocolate.

"Florian Schaffer is a Bavarian strength athlete and unabashed muscleman who has dedicated his professional life to fitness and bodybuilding, but he’s probably better known to the wider world for his insatiable interest in baking exquisite cakes customized to delectable perfection."

OMG! I've been watching this skit several times a week. I can't get enough!


It is vital that the British left stop licking its wounds and regroup into a new party. Without a viable electoral threat to his left, Starmer will keep getting away with his relentless assault on working people and pensioners.

I adore Raskin.

Via Kyle Griffin:

If Democrats win the House in November, Rep. Jamie #Raskin has plans for running the Oversight Committee.

That includes hearings on gun control, climate change and Supreme Court ethics.

Raskin also would likely pursue Trump-focused investigations, including the business dealings of Jared Kushner and Trump's own business operations when he was president, to help craft anti-corruption legislation.

Ok, maybe I’m cynical about #uspol, but doesn’t Taylor Swift’s endorsement seem like a blatant attempt to land a plum spot like Secretary of Energy in a future Harris administration? 🧐

The full on fascist state is out in the open. These people watched dystopian science fiction and thought… wow that sure seems like a great idea.

Fucking losers of the highest order. mastodon.social/@alshafei/1131…



L’EPR de Flamanville s’arrête 24 heures après son lancement.


«Ça prouve que le système de sécurité fonctionne bien», a indiqué mercredi soir une porte-parole du groupe EDF.
«Sur l’EPR Finlandais, il y avait eu plusieurs déconvenues, notamment avec des pompes hydrauliques qui étaient défectueuses et qui ont dû être remplacées. Cela ne remet pas en cause le démarrage. Il faut juste être patient». Nicolas Goldberg, expert énergie chez Colombus Consulting.


Tout va bien, alors.
Jusqu'ici.

I am very disappointed in Starmer using donor funds to pay for his wife's clothes. It's not a good look when he is saying how tough times are. She is deliberately not assuming a public role or profile and, between the two of them, they should earn enough for her to afford to dress perfectly acceptably. How is this different from the gold wallpaper?
