@Little_Lord_Fauntleroy is raising the gals as super consumers. They went all the way to Paris recently for a bit of shopping.

Israel’s biggest cheerleaders are aghast that the fascists didn’t win in France.

Mad how history evolves…

The Euros: bread and circus.

The thing is that is that Milei’s backers such as Elon Musk probably see an increase in poverty as firm evidence of an economy “performing very well”, because in their minds more poor people is a good thing because it drives exploitation, division and creates fertile ground for disinformation and thus control.

Georgia has a General Election today.

The current ruling “Georgian Dream” party have been in power since 2012 and they are allied to Russia and they operate by Russia’s rules.

It seems to me the people want them out but I was listening to a podcast with Alastair Campbell last night and he thinks they’ll “win”, ie. by stealing the election.

Republicans in the other Georgia will be looking on at this as a dry run for 10 days’ time.
