Farmers plead ‘stop our fields flooding’ as Trump opens dams

I think he has no idea what he is doing, and he has dismantled all the guardrails. According to project 2025 the entire country needs to be razed and dismantled. So they can rebuild it as Musk/Trump's techno fascist state.That's why Musk wants access to social security numbers, health data and addresses. Musk now knows where you live, what colour your skin is, your gender, your income and debt, and all your weak points. The Nazis did this, it helps with identifying perceived enemies of the state, deportation of immigrants and jailing or execution of political rivals. I am so sorry for those of you in the states who didn't vote for this monster.

"Old and quite weird": Democrats finally discover new effective attack — and Republicans hate it

Laughter is a great weapon, as even the Irish Bards of old knew. And the plus point is that it is true, they are old and weird. They want to go round inspecting children's genitals.....definitely weird. They rather mothers die than get medical treatment in an event of a dangerous pregnancy. Likewise, they think child marriages are OK. They think forcing women to have babies is OK but passing laws to help those babies live is not. They want to go back in time and roll back all the progress society has made in being kinder, fairer and more inclusive. They love conspiracies and think they have special secret knowledge . There is so much more,I hope someone turns it all into a catchy song that goes viral.

I am in the US and its gotten very political but as pretty much a peon do I just tune the stuff out thinking its fear mongering? Or should I closely pay attention to it?

Depends. Are you a rich, white, straight male? You will be fine and can ignore everything. But if you are any shade of brown, an immigrant or belong to any minority group or are female or have loved ones belonging to anyone of these groups, then you should pay attention as they might genuinely be in danger.

Microsoft 'temporarily' pumps the brakes on its intrusive Windows 11 ads after receiving constant backlash from Windows 10 users

I am switching to Linux, and I am not all that techy and am a really old lady. You know Windows is bad when your grandparents are jumping ship. And it is not because I have a burning desire to learn a new operating system, or have taken on a side hustle as an international spy that mandates a more secure system nor did I decide I needed to supplement my pension with some drug deals and Linux was a safer system to coordinate my new worldwide cartel. No I am switching to Linux because every time Windows updates there is a not insignificant chance it will brick my laptop the way it happened to my daughter. Or how after one update my sound stopped working after another, the microphone. There is always something. So yeah the old ones are jumping ship even though I am not exited about it.I really hope it is not too techy...

Where on the globe would you best be able to sail a very large ship without being detected?

The Pacific Ocean is massive and if a ship turns off its transponder it is invisible unless you have satellites in your game. Ships can easily disappear in the Pacific even with modern search and rescues when people really really want to find a ship[ in trouble, they sometimes can't. I have a friend that sails those waters and there are endless small islands, often uninhabited where he stays in small bays and inlets.
