There are very few areas in which Britain has incontrovertibly worked shit out, but the lifeboats are one of them.
How is it possible that Kristi Noem still has this job. Imagine if you’re a family member or a shipmate of this guardsman.

I literally had to sit an exam to be allowed to live here. But that doesn’t immunize me against Bucksplaining, clearly
In the UK (and modern Europe in general), the royal family is a figurehead with very little overt political influence on paper.
In the British system, the prime minister is the equivalent of “president” in USA.
The sitting royalty behaves somewhat as a 2nd secretary of state with permission.

It’s a “full stop” not a “period” in all the style guides I need to abide by. And I bet you are not even Gothic
If I were you, I would say that your entire argument is ignorant, null and void because you didn't put a period at the end of "state."
But I'm not one to crawl naked across five miles of correct intent LEGOs to point out someone's mistake.
(Maybe as an aside, then carry on with the main point.)

AI filmmaking is completely unserious.
You've got people with $30k begging the internet for ideas by next week because they have nothing of their own to say, it's just slop for the sake of slop. Embarrassing state of affairs.

His alleged mistress left her precious heated blanket on the other plane, so Corey Lewandowski demanded the pilot turn the plane around to go get it.
When he refused, Lewandowski -- who has zero authority to fire anyone at any time -- tried to fire the pilot IN THE MIDDLE OF THE FLIGHT.

🧵What is going on with Measles in England?
UKHSA has reported 96 confirmed measles cases since 1 Jan 2026, concentrated in London (64% of cases) and the West Midlands (26% of cases).
But what does this all mean? Is 96 a lot? Why is it happening? And what can we do about it? 1/8

Russia cannot conquer Ukraine without U.S. help.
The only hope for the invaders to avoid defeat was to install Trump in the White House and then exploit their asset to force Ukrainian defenders to give up.
Trump is hysterical with rage at Ukrainians because his boss Putin is.
