Trump has asked his aides if he can pardon himself before he leaves office.

...He does realise that's like, admitting to having committed a crime, right?

Only the most important notifications on MY Apple Watch.

Reminder: Yesterday was not even the first time in recent history that Trump cultists have violently tried to undermine democracy. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-us-canada-52496514

You can tell a lot using flags.

We have Trump flags, Confederacy flags, Gadsen flags, neo-Nazi flags, Blue Lives flags, military flags, flags for anti-vax organisations...

The usual suspects, really.

Unrelated to all of the above, but why does BBC News' new "look at this tweet" graphic show everything in such a weirdly skewed perspective?

Rather feels out of place with the other blocky, simple graphics they roll with.

Trump's so incompetent he can't even tell people to stop rioting without lying about the election 🙃️

Should go without saying that these folks aren't patriots or soldiers. They're anti-democracy, anti-American radical traitors.

Under US federal law, sedition carries a prison term of up to 20 years and/or an unlimited fine.

Insurrection carries a term of up to 10 years and/or an unlimited fine.

Treason carries a term of at least 5 years and a fine of at least $10,000.

This is at least one.

2016:
"Don't vote for Brexit/Trump. [Myriad of bad things] will happen if that happens."
"Psh, that's an exaggeration. You'll be fine."

2021:
*all those bad things have happened*

Pro-Trump demonstrators in DC are now actively trying to enter the Senate to disrupt the vote count happening there.

You know, I'm pretty sure that's a thing called insurrection and makes them traitors to America.

Some random fun: Non-Britishers! What do you think these idioms mean?

"That's the badger!"
"Give me a tinkle on the blower when you can."
"She pulled a blinder, there."
"I've caught the lurgy."
"He's a bit cackhanded."

Said co-hosts seem to have acted decently about it too, so I’m happy. https://greatestgentour.com/roderick

Well, this apology certainly seems sincere, and gels with my prior experiences of his comedy persona. Feel free to tell my I’m wrong though, my glasses may well be tinted. http://www.johnroderick.com/an-apology

Ah yeah, just in case you don’t speak English, here’s the same thing translated into American.

Fuller lockdown guidance now exists, so here's how it looks compared to the existing tier system. http://projects.greysadventures.com/lockdown/england.html

And 3. Holy crap so much space is used up by the adaptor and UK plug.

An iPad, Lightning cable + docs only use ≈20mm of the box’s ≈60mm depth. Watch uses some ≈15mm of the box’s ≈25mm. The rest is just empty, wasted space.

2. Like their products, the glue makes them hell to take apart but once you’re in, the insides are so obviously well considered to be strong, whilst still minimising the amount of material used.

1. Wow they really use cardboard for basically everything. Dividers, spacers, internal supporting walls. The lot.

It doesn’t look or feel like card a lot of the time, but it is—just really high grain stuff.

Been disassembling my Apple product boxes to recycle cuz I’ve got no room to keep ‘em anymore. Some thoughts on Apple’s packaging.

Originally got into it cuz I listen to several other shows by his co-hosts so I’ve not got an issue dropping it off my list.

Said co-hosts have historically been very publicly pro-LGBT+, pro-BLM, anti-alt right, especially lately, so will be interesting to see how they respond.
