Israel canceled visas for 27 French left-wing lawmakers and officials days before their planned Sunday visit to Israel and Palestinian territories, the group said. The move follows Israel barring two…

Election day is April 28th, in case anyone reads this and is confused.
Wow. I just looked at the page about the mechanical watch, and the quality of explanation and level of detail are incredible.
Did he change his middle name from Donald to David because he thought Donald was a stupid name?
A mistranslated term and a scanning glitch birthed the bizarre phrase “vegetative electron microscopy”

Trump's own words indicated that he thought the MS13 tattoos were on the knuckles, which is where the Arial font characters are. So either Trump doesn't know what a knuckle is, or he was speaking imprecisely, or he's a fucking moron, or all of the above.
In any case, as someone pointed out above, it's unlikely MS13 would be working with acronyms in English for their tattoos, especially acronyms in English that only 50% work because Marijuana Smiley Cross Skull says MSCS, not MS13.
The USA has always been far from perfect, but it was better when grown-ups were in charge.
The decision has cast the country’s entire legal system as Thanos in the eyes of Trump officials and associated mouthpieces—against whom they have assembled to avenge this perceived national betrayal.

I might try it, and see if I become able to play 3D video games again.
Is that a real official communication from the White House?
Does Trump think the letters added to the photo are part of the tattoo? His words suggest he does.
Might it not just result in them increasing domestic students' fees to make up the difference?
For Republicans, destroying universities and colleges is a feature, not a bug.

It was a distraction from the incompetence of Trump's government, as is this shitty website, for their cult at least. For everyone else it just screams incompetence.
One minister said: “Trump and [the vice-president] JD Vance have shown the advantage of getting out there and not worrying about making mistakes.
Yeah, they have a whole cult behind them that will interpret their every idiotic blunder as an inspired move. Starmer, not so much.
27 centimooches or 68 millitrusses.
For now. But once the media attention fades, who knows?
Ironically, one of the the biggest real dangers to Canada is conservatives.
But don't anyone say that Israel is doing anything bad, or you'll be deported to a concentration camp for your antisemitic terrorism, without trial.
We really need to make sure Poilievre doesn't become PM. But our polls are worryingly similar to how the US polls were in October.
OpenSUSE Tumbleweed because it's very up to date yet reliable, package management doesn't require me to get my head around anything complicated, automatic btrfs snapshots allow me to rollback if I mess anything up, and I like KDE Plasma and the YaST utilities.
