“The unlikely coalition that put Trump back in the White House is unravelling as he alienates MAGA influencers, religious conservatives, anti-interventionists who wanted an end to forever wars and anyone who craves relief from years of inflation.” Good analysis bit.ly/4cvnh7g
“A slew of major global gatherings – from Kenya and New Zealand to the Global Coral Reef Summit – are going to help coral reefs get the attention they deserve”, says Jason Momoa www.theguardian.com/commentis…
So that was the cunning PR plan! www.bbc.co.uk/news/arti…
I just set up Wispr.AI on my desktop Windows PC. Pretty impressed with the set-up, never mind using the app. Just look at the difference in speed talking compared to typing!
