So is it dodge that these two things( https://www.newsweek.com/signal-war-plans-cia-director-john-ratcliffe-messages-disappear-phone-2059775) are so close together or should I really put the tin foil hat down?

Agree. This is an opportunity to improve the current regs, not regress to outdated technology. Literally the anti-thesis of F1

I’m guessing blue sky version of tweets

April fools surely?

It does indeed :-)

I checked before I posted and the community rules say spoilers are allowed.

Edit: Rule 3. If you know a way of masking post titles let me know.

Just in that one comment alone you’ve mentioned the liberals, the marginalised, the progressives, the fascists, the republicans, and the democrats. And that’s why I’m apprehensive that adding another noun in that list is going to make things better… the left needs to consolidate to a new centre for the left, not fracture into another direction that delays consolidation further.

A bit like Merc these days.

I never said they do. I just don’t think this is the time to overhaul the whole system when the first priority should be to steady the ship. You can’t fix things if you’re just struggling to stay afloat. Fixing things requires a certain level of stability.

Replacing institutions externally isn’t nearly as easy as rebuilding them internally. A new party in a country where a vast majority votes along traditional family lines is not going to gain any momentum in the time frame that the US needs to correct course. They’re a lot better rebuilding dems internally and keeping the existing external branding. It’s the internet so here’s my uneducated and uninformed opinion: a more progressive offshoot of the Democratic Party external to it only makes sense if the Dems win a few elections on the trot. Otherwise it’s just going to be the same as cutting one’s nose to spite their own face.

Yeah that’s definitely what America needs. Another fracture.

That’s heartbreaking. A part of my F1 universe is forever gone.

Is this actually legit?

I nearly had the lead, if it wasn’t for that pesky Mercedes protest.

Sounds like a Stroll special.

Sainz crashing out behind the safety car. Piastri getting the traditional, ‘Aussie driver at AusGP’ experience. I’m going to need till Tuesday before I can start talking to people again.

I had water in my seat after I heard that little exchange.

Dread it. Run from it. Sbinalla arrives all the same.

Everyone’s wondering how the rookies are going to deal with the first corner; meanwhile between Verstappen, Tsunoda and Russell there is enough ammunition to take out the entire top 6 before the first corner.

Haha and one is ahead of both Ferraris. This sparks so much joy
