Best satire on the internet, because it’s all true.

Thanks, Laura, I didn't know about that one.

People think anything hi-tech is good. I tell people I have a Solar Energy Clothes Dryer, and often they think it's the latest hi-tech gadget.

I have a solar energy clothes drier as well (aka 'the line' to those in the know). The high tech gadget is literally doing the job for free and it paid the capital investment off in a couple of days or so! Ach, technology is FABULOUS dear Elizabeth, I wonder what the tech moguls will think next, eh? 🤔

I've got a solar energy clothes drier, too! Does that put me at double the risk mentioned above? And what about my solar panels and air source heat pump? What happens when Fuckwit No 1 sees that on their screen and mistakes them for rocket launchers and a missile installation!!

C'mon Laura, you're making that up!

Great list of fails. Found another one I didn't know about while searching for a link to coordinates story. https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/world/it-looks-like-a-stormbreaker-may-have-landed-intact-in-yemen-raising-the-risk-the-us-bomb-could-fall-into-the-wrong-hands/ar-AA1DDxbI

Maybe, the US military should change its name to Sanddigger ...

Hmm... Wonder if I could supply some coordinates to the US military that they could bomb in order to "protect Israel." Of course, they'll be the Israeli Knesset's coordinates more than likely...

Try these coordinates next: 38.871088 x -77.05052 (Pentagon)

That's a fantastic idea! I've been sitting around, scratching my head, wondering how Israel would feel if the Knesset received a direct hit or twenty?

Oh, so the UK is at war with Russia AND Yemen now. Do the British people know?

Brilliant, Laura. Back in the 80s, there was a satire series called "Whoops Apocalypse!". It wouldn't get a bloody look-in now.

Thank you! You are brilliant and have become my lifeline. I'm not sure if I could deal with this ongoing trauma without the relief of your amazing satire.

Hypocracy is a tell tale sign of relative low intelligence because anyone with truly high intelligence would know it can't be effective. Musk is a hypocrite and dummy. Money comes mostly from luck.
