Someone told him that the US spends $980bn on NATO and he thinks he can get a better deal (making other countries do his dirty work for free)

And we may be fine with that

The biggest army in the world has always been also a grift for lobbying contractors

He is doing that because there is profit to be made.

Is Trump going to say that Iran agreed to his terms without any proof? Is he going to bomb them again for not respecting the terms they agreed to in his mind?

Some people value freedom more than convenience

Dude is so cartoonishly evil that it hurts

If your scientific discovery disproportionately benefits a few billionaires then it’s worse than worthless.

The Venn diagram of the states where you can marry a child and those where Trump won is a circle.

It’s about decorum.

Berlinguer[*] has been described in many ways but was generally recognised for political coherence and courage, together with a rare personal and political intelligence. A serious and morally rigorous man,[87] he was sincerely respected even by his opponents, such as the Italian Social Movement leader Giorgio Almirante,[**] who paid his homage to Berlinguer and lowered himself in front to his coffin at Botteghe Oscure.[70]

[*] national ssecretary of the Italian Communist Party (PCI)

[**] Giorgio Almirante (27 June 1914 – 22 May 1988) was an Italian politician who founded the neo-fascist Italian Social Movement, which he led until his retirement in 1987

Allegedly Almirante, a guy who literally sentence fellow Italians to death, said that “Oltre il rogo non vive ira nemica” (“No foe’s wraith survives the funerary pure”)

Trump is unhinged enough to drop nukes on a country before the end of his term, not to mention all the lickspittles he has around Europe (Salvini, Meloni, Orban, Farage) ready to drum up support for US decisions.

It’s either Linux phone or fighting in the trenches a losing battle against one the most powerful companies in history. Android offering a desktop mode is good if taken in the context of running an open source software on hardware you own.

I’m old school, I remember when NFC was used for stuff like domotics

Grownup: “Stop doing that. Don’t do that”

Baby: *does thing harder

At a certain point people outgrow that.

Edit: no baby shaming. They’re doing their best given the circumstances of being just babies in a very grownup-oriented UX.

Bonus track: (Don’t) Testify

It’s in the Constitution! /s

How it started:

Parsons was Winston’s fellow-employee at the Ministry of Truth. He was a fattish but active man of paralysing stupidity, a mass of imbecile enthusiasms — one of those completely unquestioning, devoted drudges on whom, more even than on the Thought Police, the stability of the Party depended.

How it ended:

Parsons walked into the cell. He was wearing khaki shorts and a sports-shirt.

This time Winston was startled into self-forgetfulness.

‘You here!’ he said.

Parsons gave Winston a glance in which there was neither interest nor surprise, but only misery. He began walking jerkily up and down, evidently unable to keep still. Each time he straightened his pudgy knees it was apparent that they were trembling. His eyes had a wide-open, staring look, as though he could not prevent himself from gazing at something in the middle distance.

Nothing that cannot be solved by politically motivated violence.

There is everything wrong with having to work like a peasant because wealth hoarders want to hoard even more wealth

So far we’re still in the “my genes are superior and it’s my moral duty to the white race to reproduce”, once his daughters reach puberty he’s definitely going to use them as human incubators.
