I’m gradually going to be moving over to Bluesky from Twitter/X:
Video from Ukraine’s National Police showing a Russian fibre optic cable operated drone targeting a civilian market seller in Kherson. The man survived.
The Department of Justice (DOJ is seeking to dismiss the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool criminal case against former Olympian David Hearn. The Trump Administration now acknowledges that damage to the Reflecting Pool in June 2026 was the result of flawed installation by the contractor.
Trump says the US has opened a 301 investigation into the practice of the EU "robbing" American companies. Trump says the EU will pay "a very big price" and a "substantial tariff" is expected to be imposed as soon as possible.
Trump’s back to his “most people don’t know there’s a letter b in the word dumb” talking point. It’s clearly projection. What he means is HE doesn’t know.
Trump has gone TACO on his proposed 20% toll on ships using the Strait of Hormuz area.
Trump coerces shipping companies and reintroduces the US blockade on the Strait of Hormuz.
At least 27 people have been killed in a restaurant fire in the Thai capital of Bangkok, local media says.
Trump orders all American flags lowered until next Saturday, in honour of Lindsey Graham. Remember when Democrat house rep Melissa Hortman was assassinated? Trump was silent for a whole 6 months, and then accused Tim Walz, the Democratic governor of Minnesota, of killing her.
Trump’s sycophantic Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent unveils the "Donald J. Trump Bridge" in Tennessee: "From this day forward, every driver that encounters this bridge will see that it bears Trump's name".
I guess they have to bend the knee and support the strikes on Iran due to the coercion by Donald Trump over Europe’s security situation.
Tuareg fighters have shot down a Russian Africa Corps Mi-24 military helicopter in Mali. All the crew onboard were killed.
Trump was defeated on his citizenship birthright challenge. It’s almost like the US Supreme Court are ruling on smaller ‘culture war’ matters in his favour to keep him quiet and save face, so he can say he’s ‘winning’, while the bigger stuff they appear to be giving him the middle finger.
A heat index calculator for you to work out how the temperature feels given the high humidity levels in the current UK and western European heatwave.
Polymarket odds on UK PM Keir Starmer resigning. 81% today, 90% tomorrow and the days beyond.
OSINTtechnical reports that a large explosion and fire has occurred at the Ras Laffan industrial complex in Qatar tonight.
Israel’s far-right Minister of Security, Itamar Ben-Gvir, says all of Lebanon “must burn”.
M6.6 earthquake in the central-Mid Atlantic Ridge off the west coast of Africa. No tsunami is expected.
A US Air Force B-52 bomber has crashed near Edwards Air Force Base in California.
The dear leader of the United States of Trump received a medal at the White House lawn UFC fight.
The beginnings of Trump’s latest meltdown perhaps? Anyone with more than one brain cell knows that Trump’s ‘deal’ is going to be worse than Obama’s JCPOA with Iran. The world economy is in a mess, all because Trump hates Obama.
I’d love to know who’s pumping out all this propaganda like the post above on the White House account, and if they really believe in any of it themselves. It’s all day every day there’s post like the above, and Trump is front and centre of them all, like a personality cult from the Soviet times.
Trump’s in a bad mood again because he can’t find an off-ramp to the war he started. He ends the post with “praise be to Allah”. The “fake news media” are the ones who helped get him elected in the first place. Most of them are owned by Trump allies now, so he’s actually shitting on his own allies.
Trump says Iran has taken "too long" to negotiate a deal, and "now they will have to pay the price!!!". The world is literally being taken over by people you wouldn’t even trust with a potato gun…
So Tommy Robinson (Stephen Yaxley-Lennon) was the one who stoked the riots in Belfast last night, all from the comfort of his luxury hotel in Moscow, Russia, with Elon Musk’s perverted father, Errol Musk.
Twitter/X is being flooded with deepfake ads of Nigel Farage physically attacking Andrew Bailey, the Governor of the Bank of England.
Trump calls himself "one of the finest intellects in the history of our country."
