Travelling to the US
Irish passengers travelling to the US are being warned to delete social media apps from their devices if they have been openly critical of President Trump online.
I would suggest that anything published that is not viruently pro MAGA is likely to be of cobncern. Much better just to not bother travelling to the US at all, you know it makes sense.

Dear Marco,
With all due respect, you can shove your shithole country up your ass. Those of us lucky enough not to be stuck in your Dickensian hellhole and aren’t masochists have absolutely zero desire to contaminate our lives and enrich your fascist regime by visiting.
TL;DR: Go fuck yourself.

it's certainly a new twist on the concept of a thought crime
a new, fucking stupid twist
oh shit... did i just have an idea
oh shit! i'm already inside the country!
we can laugh but:
though the thought police are fucking stupid, they are committed and cruel

La razón es la habilidad de los trabajadores. La cantidad de trabajadores calificados en un solo lugar. Y el tipo de calificación importa.
Los productos que hacemos requieren el uso de herramientas muy avanzadas con gran precisión en materiales específicos.
El desarrollo de esta habilidad aquí (China) es profundo. Si tuviera una reunión de ingenieros en herramientas en EE UU no lleno esta sala, en China puedo llenar varios estadios de fútbol.

Just ordered a Kobo Libra Colour so now the only money I’m paying that asshole Bezos is for a couple of S3 buckets that I haven’t had time to move off of AWS.
Very much looking forward to the time when his fascist collaborator ass doesn’t get a single euro cent from me.
(Another plus: Kobo works with Overdrive and I checked and Dublin libraries support it so you should be able to check out library books directly on the device. And I’m quite looking forward to a little bit of colour and the notetaking features.)

I can't see their calculations, at least not in that page. But a clear example of both #Canada and #Australia restricting freedom is their hate speech laws:

Maybe this is the type of freedom #Cato doesn't care about, but I do. When it comes to the combination of freedom of speech, right to arm oneself and property rights, I have seen no equal to the #USA.
Nuclear powers must avert those confrontations which bring an adversary to a choice of either a humiliating retreat or a nuclear war. To adopt that kind of course in the nuclear age would be evidence only of the bankruptcy of our policy — or of a collective death-wish for the world.
