Trump’s gripe over car ‘bowling-ball test’ dents Japan’s trade hopes

Japanese trade negotiators trying to spare their country from Donald Trump’s tariffs are preparing to do battle over an issue where neither side can easily back down: a car safety test that does not exist... The US president first referred to the test in 2018. “They take a bowling ball from 20 feet up in the air and they drop it on the hood of the car. And if the hood dents, then the car doesn’t qualify,” he said. “It’s horrible, the way we’re treated.”

That Iranian port fire is still burning

Blue,

Someone reports a concern to terror police, who review and take no action - how does that make it a 'police state'?

Why Britain’s police forces have taken to cultivating cannabis

https://www.economist.com/britain/2025/04/24/why-britains-police-forces-have-taken-to-cultivating-cannabis

When the police bust a cannabis farm, they often seize plants that have yet to fully mature. That means the crop is still wet, weighs more and doesn’t contain the concentrated THC that gets smokers high. Dealers with good lawyers were able to argue successfully against confiscation orders, claiming that plants were “mouldy”, and therefore worthless, or that the yield had been estimated inaccurately.

This is where Mr Hughes’s scheme comes in. When Essex Police busts a weed farm, it now nurtures and dries the plants it keeps for evidence, in a “bespoke facility”. A team of six officers have learned to do it “just as well as the criminals”, says Mr Hughes, ensuring they harvest as much as the dealers would have. It’s a busy job: the team deals with around 1,000 busts each year. Last month a Colchester drug dealer was ordered to pay £53,000 or face prison.

Hopefully they will be perfecting making hash and oils to show the full potential value of what they have seized.

Blue,

If Israel allowed BBC journalists into Gaza, they would not have to employ freelancers.

Massive explosion at an Iranian port

"The war against the youth mobility scheme is embarrassing... Farage and Badenoch are embarrassing themselves with opposition to a completely benign scheme"

This caught my eye:

'It all makes you wonder why the Brexit camp is so nervous. Surely leaving the EU has been such a success that inviting thousands of Europeans a year to visit Global Britian, can only be a good thing? Won’t they go home inspired by our newfound freedoms and our dynamic economy, which has been turbo-charged by removing the dead hand of Brussels from around our throat?'

Britian? Looks like they cannot afford a [free] spellchecker.

TMC up 200% since Trump elected

These minerals are currently sitting atop the sea floor, waiting to be scooped up and processed. Through #NOAA’s mapping tech and licensing abilities, we are helping industry leaders find, collect and bring back these minerals to benefit the #USA & domestic manufacturing.

No listed UK company stands to benefit as far as I know other than 'Glencore has an indirect interest through an offtake agreement (signed in 2011) with The Metals Company (TMC) for future nickel and copper output from certain areas held by TMC's subsidiary in the CCZ.'

Good to see this expanding from Greenbloc... Sigmaroc are well positioned as a European market leader to be at the forefront of innovative 21st century building materials and processes; the Orange God will be setting the US back by at least a decade, maybe more if MAGA manages to stay in power longer than many would expect.

Something Huge Is Happening Between India & Pakistan

Modi gains politically by rallying nationalist support, shifting focus from domestic issues, marginalizing opposition, and justifying tough Kashmir policies, all while reinforcing his image as a strong, decisive leader. This could get very messy...
