They did downplay the animosity of Venezuela with Trinidad and Tobago's Prime Minister, whose rhetoric was.... over the top.

Oil is a lubricant, and there's still enough around for Diddy to be interested.

Nobody is asking why she had $129,000 TT (close to $20k US) in her Tommy Hilfiger purse...

I mean, that's weird, right?

Help! I am stuck in a mall surrounded by traffic because of flash flooding in North East Trinidad. 🤣

Trinidad is not a real place. 😅

The bookstore has nothing worth reading. I have eaten, I have coffeed, and I am trapped in rampant consumerism.

I am being attacked by retail employees who insist I need their help! 🤣

Demonizing the independent senators in T&T about a bill that was rewritten to resurrect.

Strange bill. Strange government.

It's definitely a lightning rod.

Oh interesting. Let's see how well stupid propagates. 🙄 it would mean changing a ministry in charge of ai renaming itself, and all the red tape associated.

Super intelligence. 🤣 compared to what?

Meanwhile, they keep fumbling around for solutions from ivory towers. I don't know what they expect to impact by ZOSO. Looks like a lot could go sideways. And the 'f' word is on the tips of some tongues.

The upcoming water crisis in Trinidad and Tobago.

I've been researching. Ends up per decade, temperatures have also been increasing about 1C per decade.

Meanwhile, so close to Venezuela, the weather is heavily influenced by that big continent next door.

They recently opened an IHOP/Applebee's combo on Trinidad and Tobago. I was trying to find out why they got rid of cheese blintzes and Swedish pancakes, my old school favs.

So then I found this.

The irony of advising people to email a site that they block access to demonstrates how much cloudflare and ihop cares. 🤣

There are better local options. Fuck 'em.

Moving right along...

...However, he also questioned what tangible benefits Trinidad and Tobago has gained from its alignment with Washington, particularly in the energy sector...

I think it is fair to say that aligning with the Trump administration on Venezuela went sideways for T&T.

...Though she ran on a tough-on-crime platform, Fernandez has said that she is not currently considering a state of emergency to address the problem...

Interestingly, T&T has been under a SoE for roughly 16 of the past 20 months under emergency rule, across three declarations. This last declaration has been 6 months so far. Modest statistical decline at best.
