Separated and divorced men often find another woman to live with quickly because they are in shock about how hard life is when they haven't got a wife doing everything for them. Divorced women usually find life easier without the extra load.

Wind turbines only last 10–15 years” is pure FUD propaganda. That’s a design life, not a death sentence. Denmark just extended its 2000-built Middelgrunden offshore wind farm to 2050—50 years! Like bridges, turbines last decades with proper care. The myth is dead. Wind lives on. 🌬️⚡ #EnergyTransition

So let me get this straight…

Under Hegseth’s leadership, the Army is rolling out a policy that could kick out Black men for razor bumps—a medical condition that disproportionately affects us.

Meanwhile, troops who refused the COVID vaccine? They got waivers. Sympathy. Career protection.

Today, UK MPs are voting on substantial reform to abortion law. Abortion is currently permitted under certain circumstances. Outside of these circumstances, abortion care is regulated by a Victorian law. The reform would protect people from arrest and imprisonment for ending their own pregnancy.

9/ Labour MP @stellacreasy is fighting to fix this.

Her amendment to the PCCS Bill would decriminalise abortion entirely.

Not extend it. Not water it down.
Just remove it from the criminal code where it never belonged and make it a healthcare matter.
