Firestick alternative? Are there any EU/UK alternative to the Amazon fire stick? Unfortunately I don't have a smart TV but have hdmi inputs so need an alternative to the fire stick to move away from Amazon. Any advice would be appreciated.

"Russia blames Europe for continuing the war in Ukraine"

Europe needs to unite and end Russia once and for all.

The USA is clearly no longer accepting free speech. The rest of the democratic world needs to unite.

This is so important! Now it is blatantly obvious why Europe and the rest of the democratic world need our own social media to stop the spread of divisive rhetoric that comes from the USA.

"Europe needs its own social media platforms to safeguard sovereignty"

The only special relationship the USA has is with Russia...

We need to do the same with UK companies. There is NO special relationship between the USA and the UK and there never has been.

Elon Musk is a con man.

"The most obvious lesson to draw from the leaked Signal chat is that these people really are morons. It's not a public act, it's not a schtick, there's not some secret back room where they drop the facade. They are genuinely stupid, incompetent people."

“He considered it and considered against it. There will be no exemptions,”

So he thought about it then decided “fuck Australia”. Despite a massive trade imbalance in favour of the US.

Well fuck the USA.

Allies for all these years.

I know what you’re thinking: is this guy saying we need to literally overthrow the US government? If any of you have a better idea for how to stop the world’s most dangerous military in the hands of a bunch of psychopaths, child molesters, and criminals who also control the Congress, courts, and police then I’m open to realistic suggestions. But I’d wager your alternatives amount to capitulation or hugging them. #fucktrump #FuckTrumpSupporters #fucktheusa #usa #fascists #revolt
