"Bob Geldof didn’t mince words about those in charge across the pond as he celebrated 40 years of Live Aid.

" 'The thuggery of Musk, and Vance and Trump, this confederacy of dunces, these abject #fools,' he said at an event launching a set of BBC Live Aid shows late last week.

"Geldof was bemoaning how rather than upping charity as the world flounders under several generational #catastrophes, the response from the U.S. and others has been to 'cut it off.'

" 'These ketamine-crazed narcissists swing their f**king hedge trimmers around their heads and say, this weekend, we’re feeding #USAID to the wood chipper,' he added of the end of the U.S. Agency for International Development. 'Seriously, the strongest nation on Earth, the most powerful man on the planet, and the richest individual ever seen in the history of our world… cackle, over feeding U.S. help to the weakest, #MostVulnerable people in the world into the wood chipper. Ladies and gentlemen, there is something seriously f**ked about that.' " [Well said!!!]

#Fools killing a reputation within weeks that took many years to build.

Having released my coaching and training materials under CC #licences wherever possible, I'll now take them offline and republish them under different licenses.

#CreativeCommons is dead, for me.

Translation of above. libretranslate

"For the record, if you have Disney+ (our judging but a little anyway), to please Emperor Trump they have eliminated a trans character from their film "Win Or Lose".

And added an explicit Christian character making a prayer, story of putting a layer in the ass lick of fachos."

Flack you Disney. Boot lickers

#Senate #Republicans are making #fools of themselves. Seems as though they’re just fine w/ doing that too. #Pathetic.

Senate Dismisses 1st of 2 #Impeachment Charges Against #Mayorkas

Now wasting more time going through the same painful process again.

Democrats moved as quickly as possible—despite #GOP #obstruction & #delay tactics— to dismiss the #unconstitutional article of impeachment accusing the #DHS sec of refusing to enforce #immigration #law.
