Pedantic love of arcane rules, dressing up, and esoteric bits of technology.
Turns out I’ve been autistic the entire time.

Bring them into NATO, get Ukrainian training teams at Brecon and Warminster.
Zelenskyy in Munich: “The Ukrainian Army is the strongest army in Europe, thanks to our heroes.

“And I think it is simply not smart to keep this army outside NATO.”

WORD FACT

The name Valentine means “strength, capacity, worth” (Latin “valentia”), and is related to modern English words like valour, value, valiant, evaluate, convalescence, avail, ambivalence, valid, and equivalent.

This Valentine’s Day, validate your valour by valuing your equivalent.

Without naming your job, tell me something you say over and over again at work.

“Does anyone know what time we might finish today?”

What if it’s all the ambassadors, and this one only came to light because of the thing?

Congrats @nickfthilton.bsky.social on the Melania review for @the-independent.com - she is "a scowling void of pure nothingness". Top notch.

My traditional winter triffid has arrived. This one is an albino, so maybe I need to take extra care.
Radiotherapy mask still needs antlers. Suggestions welcome.

You walk into this bar and show your ICE mugshot, you don't pay a dime.
Scrolling through the photos of Pam Bondi's "Minnesota rioters," it's just hero after hero. Every photo includes a cowardly DHS agent with their back to the camera.

Bondi thinks she's going to win the propaganda war with this shit, but it's never been more clear that they're losing.

I’ve been trying to speak to someone at the national lottery today, for dull reasons, but I’ve now been on hold for more than an hour while I potter around doing other stuff.
What if I’m on hold to an empty building, and they’ve all legged it to the Bahamas with the money?
