The Many Faces of US Politics...

LWOP is cheaper than capital punishment, and it's possible to release a wrongly-convicted person and give them some sort of life back. You can't resurrect a wrongfully-executed person.

Sadly the New Orleans attack can go here as it is already heavily politicised.
Even Fox had to retract talk of the guy crossing the border.

Fox news jumping to conclusions? never!

I'm surprised they didn't wait until more information came out about the perp. Whether he was an angry white guy or a dark-skinned Muslim would determine their reaction.

Fox comes out with some shit!

So these boys in the Tesla and New Orleans are former soldiers. Wonder what angle they play here.

yes, but that's long after the 'truth lie' had already gone around the news/social media world

The "thank you for your service" and "brave men and women in uniform" thing will be absent here, I think. The American culture of reverence to soldiers is weird.

Facebook, Threads and Instagram will stop using third-party fact-checkers on their sites. 


"Several digital rights groups are condemning Meta's reversal of its fact-checking program. Nicole Gill, executive director of Accountable Tech, said in a statement that the decision is "a gift to Donald Trump and extremists around the world." Nora Benavidez, senior counsel at advocacy group Free Press, said in a statement that Zuckerberg is "saying yes to more lies, yes to more harassment, yes to more hate."

And oddly enough, Twitter has implemented a peer-review system called Community Notes that seems to be working well. I've been writing a few notes myself, but got my privileges temporarily suspended after writing a note debunking the "Ireland is antisemitic" claim.

Why does trump want Greenland? I presume he's chatting shite?

Mineral resources

[Jell 0 Biafra]

Tons of natural resources, strategically placed between US, Russia and access to waterways opening up as the arctic melts.  As the earth warms, it's going to be a lot of arable land too.

Hold onto your hats folks and say a wee prayer or two as we move into 2025. We truly are living in tumultuous times and the powers that be (the bankers) seem happy with that being the case
