I know things all around the world aren’t great right now, and I’m not going to pretend that things don’t look pretty bleak. I also acknowledge that my attention span and personal interests don’t allow me to follow everything that’s going on around the globe. This is my take on some of the things I follow, after my first coffee of the day.
#USpol
Trump’s popularity is low. Like really low. The list of failures is stacking up. He’s lost the support of members of his party, some of the conservative press, and has polling so low Guinness is taking notes. If there’s one thing I’d say about the Reflecting Pool, it would be “Release The Epstein Files!”
#UKpol #VoteBinface
Farage is busy shooting himself in the foot, with Count Binface just helping him aim. Reform is not enjoying the kind of attention they’re receiving, being made to look as ridiculous as they actually are.
#UkraineWar #Crimea #SiegeOfCrimea
The Siege of Crimea appears to be working. Ukraine has been striking supply routes on land and sea. Putin is becoming as unpopular as Trump.
#AI #AIslop
Awareness of the economic and environmental impacts of massive data centres is becoming more mainstream, while the general public is getting tired of slop images and videos everywhere they look. Some businesses are being slammed with massive bills for AI use, and feeling backlash over using AI in their products or services from their customers. Several companies have publicly taken a position against AI generated content, either requiring it to be identified, or banning it outright.
#RecklessBen #BricksAndMinifigs
Reckless Ben and his quest to return Brian Mansell his Star Wars LEGO from Bricks and Minifigs (BAM) is still ongoing. BAM had a gag order placed on Ben after the release of Part 2, but the gag order has been lifted and Part 3 is out. During the saga, Ben has inadvertently exposed a rotten culture of corruption in a number of US law departments, involving the Morman church and the people who run BAM’s Corporate affairs.
Keep fighting the good fight. Love and support one another. And maybe take some heart in the fact that the fascists are not having a great time right now either.
