I invented unsocial networking. Soon, we'll all be doing it! I also like tea. I have never been in a quiz team with @RevRichardColes

Philadelphia Sheriff Rochelle Bilal warns ICE:

"No law enforcement professional wears a mask... Those that come into our communities wearing a mask to commit crime... You getting arrested".

"Fake wannabe law enforcement... The criminal in the WH will not be able to keep you from going to jail".

Watching #TheOmegaFactor - like an attempt at a grown-up mix of Dr Who and the Tomorrow People, from the (very) late 70s.

Also, we've played far worse than this, this year. It's true. Villa are decent.
Just remind you that we had Tel on loan before deciding to buy him. So we knew he was shit, and still signed him.

Nothing really sums up how the US is capitalism unfettered than this:

"Yeah, we're blocking this, unless you pay for it"

It's the complete absence of understanding of the issue, coupled with the sales pitch.

So, I'm in the UK, no VPN, and just went to Twttr, and asked it to remove the pins from this Trump image I captured earlier, and ...

I though image editing was now paid for?

I was just looking for the link which says "you now need to pay to do this" and ... you don't????

Lmao apparently people near me are freaking out about a non binary teacher

And I am watching the entire community come together to dunk on the much smaller group of transphobic dipshits and it is DELICIOUS

The world's richest 0.1% took just three days to exhaust their annual carbon budget

The UK’s richest 1% produced more carbon pollution in eight days than the poorest 50% used in a year.

We can't afford the rich - they produce corruption, poverty, environmental degradation; destroy democracy.
World’s richest 1% have already used fair share of emissions for 2026, says Oxfam
Richest 1% took 10 days while wealthiest 0.1% needed just three days to exhaust annual carbon budget, study shows

Remember folks, if you fumble your phone at any point while filming, the only explanation is you're being run over by a car.

Your filming skills definitely aren't influenced by taking out a handgun and firing it multiple times at an unarmed woman.

WTAF is this?! I'm looking at the pin, but could possibly relate to anything in the image.

Many Americans can't afford to travel (or don't have sufficient leave from work to do so, or even benefits); even when they do, they think travel is more expensive and daunting than it is. I think this is intentional. When you leave the US, you realize how bad things really are here.

Whichever way you look at it, this is a significantly superior economic performance.”
Decline, what decline? The myth of dying Europe
There is a widespread view that, by comparison with the USA, Europe is in economic and social decline. But, Zucman argues, it's not true

Donald Trump says climate change is a “hoax” and a “con job”.

But at the same time the US position is that they need Greenland because the melting Arctic ice is creating a security risk.

At this point, I think it’s pretty clear who the real con artist is.

This week: we execute a U.S. citizen.

Next week: we take over elections to stop “fraud.”

It's so transparent what's going on here.
