  1. Doublespeak includes Erasure's Vince Clarke, Blancmange's Neil Arthur, and producer Benge.

    "Back To Nature" is a cover of a song by Fad Gadget. I'm not familiar with the original song, but I love the vibe of this cover. I hope this is indicative of what to expect from the forthcoming album.

  2. I suppose telling roughly 1/5 of citizens of the USA that their spiritual leader is "weak" and "terrible" is one way to "make America great again."

    "United we fall, divided we stand" is how the saying goes, right?

  4. 🤖 #Atlassian CEO: "AI isn't replacing anyone, but don't worry, you're still fired!" Delight in the #corporate #doublespeak where embracing #AI means embracing #layoffs. It's not AI taking your job, it's just good old-fashioned capitalism! 💼🙃

  5. "the Iranian people – who deserve the right to determine their own future", said #Starmer today, as Israel and the USA attempt #regimeChange in #Iran. archive.is/4rgx3

    I doubt that the Iranian people chose to have over 80 schoolchildren killed by an Israeli missile in the city of Minab. archive.is/wwXiw

    But Starmer doesn't condemn the Israeli attack, and doesn't ask Israel to stop.

    Sir #TrumpVirus of the #EpsteinFiles
    Where the #truth is so heinous that the whole #GQP and #BillionaireBro #Autocracy will never permit the whole story to come out. But it is there in the #TrumpEpsteinFiles - a study in #evil

    Stop the #coverup of #Epstein & Fiends, by #DOJ and #MAGAMike, plus collusion of the #disinformation #media and Ministries of #Distraction and #Doublespeak.

  7. @realTuckFrumper

    This from Leavitt, who in 'resting state' is 2nd biggest liar on the planet, and engaging in textbook #doublespeak & #propaganda - This on the heels of her saying that the four + times Toddler King #TrumpVirus referred to his target as "Iceland" (not Greenland) - which we all watched on news &/or l ate night TV (Colbert, Kimmel, Meyers) - did not actually happen. Why? Because his "written remarks" refer to Greenland as "ice" - not to be confused, by us, with ICE.

  12. Six Prosecutors Quit Over Push to Investigate #ICEShooting Victim’s Widow

    Joseph H. Thompson, a career federal prosecutor who was the acting U.S. attorney for #Minnesota last year, was among those who resigned as the Justice Department sought to examine the woman’s supposed ties to #activist groups.

    "Mr. Thompson’s resignation came after senior Justice Department officials pressed for a criminal investigation into the actions of the widow of #ReneeNicoleGood, the #Minneapolis woman killed by an #ICE agent on Wednesday.

    "Mr. Thompson, 47, a career prosecutor, objected to that approach, as well as to the Justice Department’s refusal to include state officials in investigating whether the shooting itself was lawful, the people familiar with his decision said.

    "The other senior career prosecutors who resigned include Harry Jacobs, Melinda Williams and Thomas Calhoun-Lopez. Mr. Jacobs had been Mr. Thompson’s deputy overseeing the fraud investigation, which began in 2022. Mr. Calhoun-Lopez was the chief of the violent and major crimes unit."

  17. 24 years ago the terrible No Child Left Behind Act was enacted. It along with the rise of anti-intellectualism are a major reason our world looks the way it does today. The dumbing down of our education system has left many struggling to communicate effectively and have poor media literacy as a direct result.

    It wasn't alone. There have been a thousand tiny cuts, but NCLB was a pretty deep one.

  22. Lots of white men working for Trump, using inaccurate and untruthful language to misdescribe what our military did to Maduro.
