Well here I am in the 21st Century,
Have to say it ain't as cool as I hoped it'd be.
No man on the moon, nobody on Mars,
and where the hell is my flying car?
Account focussed on farming, dogs, tractors and Putin's genocidal invasion of Ukraine.

The "appropriate response" is to broadcast everything that Trump did and said on that appalling day for American democracy and then to tell this moron to sling his hook.
I might be wrong, but this stinks of Pharage involvement.

A brilliant example of what Lewis Goodall talks about when he argues why right-wing radicals keep winning. They don't play by the rules and simply don't care. Whereas the institutions they want to destroy do even when said rules are contorted to absurdity and are blatantly being used against them.
The founder of Newsmax was just on the Today programme pontificating about bias. Boy, the BBC loves to submit itself to flagellation.

Scary stuff with this Russia backed proxy war in Venezuela. Maduro needs to respect America’s legitimate security concerns in their sphere of influence. Don’t they know the USA has nuclear weapons? Do they want WW3?? I’ll be protesting at the Venezuelan embassy to demand PEACE not WAR 🕊️ #StopTheWar

When we look at this massacre and many more perpetrated by the RSF, let's be clear who funds, equips & sustains them. It's the UAE. Yes, the same UAE that might own your football club, fly you on your holidays, invests in our national infrastructure. If boycotts work, we should be boycotting now.
“Individuals on the ground sent a message that reached us Monday morning that 1,200 were dead,” Nathaniel Raymond, the lab’s executive director, said. “By that evening, they said 10,000. By Tuesday, we couldn’t reach them anymore. We assume our ground contacts are dead.”
