@heresome.bsky.social has lived in the US for two years.

No wonder they were furious, nine months ago, at being asked to pay “90 euros” for a game.

Bizarrely, they can curry chicken without changing the flavour, but believe dry-frying it destroys the taste.

Is the #UK / #France joint-strike on #Syria the reason Snivelling #Starmer hasn’t a bad word to say about #Trump or #Netanyahu?

“Well, if they can act with no regard whatsoever to rules-based order, #InternationalLaw or #evidence of any kind, … 🤷‍♂️”

His leadership at CPS looks like an aberration.

It makes me sick to my stomach that the fate of the world is in the hands of a man who shits his pants, cannot string a coherent sentence together, and raped children with his paedo buddies for years.

“America’s captive” - #TheObserver

Apparently the #TortoiseMedia takeover has robbed the Obbo of the ability to say #abductee and #KidnapVictim

I miss the ‘paper that had my loyalty for decades, including while serving overseas, but they lost me after the ownership change.

Isn’t it weird how #Trump can host a wanted #WarCriminal, even laying out a red carpet for him, when he should be ordering his arrest, yet ‘arrest’ another leader when he should be minding his own business?

Obviously #Trump wouldn’t be personally involved

He’s too much of a #Coward and #Loser

Labour could flip Brexit from a liability into a weapon against Farage & the Tories.

Undoing Brexit would force the Tories & Farage to defend Brexit. Let Brexit be their problem.

By doing nothing, Labour inherits the disaster of Brexit.

Let's hope so... or at least exclude American locations and stage games just in Canada and Mexico?

Trump's America is now a pariah state, a global aggressor and warmonger.

FIFA World Cup rightly now at serious risk of cancellation as America starts direct Miltary action and aggression against another country.FIFA rules prohibit the competition being held in such a country and /or by any participating nation taking part... #WorldCupCancelled

I was hoping the Nobel committee were going to issue a one-off Football World Championship prize, and award it to a Canadian ice hockey team.

#R4Today referring to Venezuela 'conflict'...
No, Trump has attacked Venezuela with zero justification.
Hi phoney drug war is just an excuse for regime change.

Starmer @teamlabouruk.bsky.social and all European leaders should condemn Trump's actions unequivocally + immediately.

Yes, unnamed presenter, someone might wait a few weeks to watch a film at home.

But not everyone has the budget of a #BBC #R4PM presenter, buying subscriptions to every streamer to avoid missing out.

I saw Weapons at the cinema, and later on Prime. TV cannot come close to matching the experience.

The driver of Anthony Joshua’s car has been charged with dangerous driving.

Somehow, if he is tough enough to ignore AJ begging him to slow down and drive safely, as surely must have happened, I don’t think he will be bothered by prison.

#Trump is encouraging people in #Iran to stand up to oppression.

“I know fear”, he said. “I am afraid of Putin, Netanyahu, Democrats, honest judges, victims of child sexual abuse, veterans, Vietnam, North Korea, … but YOU should risk your lives. I will make vague promises in support”

Nice to see #EE offering customers a chance to go to #SuperbowlLX, have their social media scrutinised, be arrested because in 2021 they laughed at a joke about #Trump being #Orange (a rival network), be sent to #ElSalvador, tortured, disappeared, …

What do you do for NON-customers?

“… you’ve already touched on it, but …”

is presenter-speak for “You already answered this to a different question but I, a professional journalist, can’t think of another question to ask so I am putting the onus on you to think of something new to say without repeating yourself”

When will #Iran come to the aid of innocent protesters, shot and killed in #USA?

When will #Teheran help blameless, hard-working civilians, abducted from #US streets to be tortured in foreign prisons?

When will the #Ayatollah stop the #WashingtonDC regime arming terrorists in the #MiddleEast?

“What happens if #MSF works in #Gaza without registration?”

Why not ask #WorldCentralKitchen? They complied fully with #IDF, and were slaughtered in cold blood.

Why not hand over family names?

Ask the families of journalists, now being targeted.

Israel is a #terrorist organisation.
