I'm no football fan but delighted of course to see #Lionesses retain their #WEURO2025 title. Perfect opportunity to remember humanist Florence Dixie, who, unwilling to conform to the strictures of Victorian womanhood, became the 1st president of the British Ladies’ Football Club in 1895.

Marjorie Taylor Greene doesn't want you to know the name of her opponent but will try every desperate attempt to save her seat.
My name is Shawn Harris. I am a Democrat, husband, father, Retired Brigadier General, farmer, and I'm running against MTG. Can you spread the word?

HERE’S THE SCAM: “These work requirements really aren’t about getting people back to work.” That’s Gov. Andy Beshear cutting through the bullshit.
The goal is to bury people in forms, wait for a mistake, then kick them off for half a year or longer.
It’s a system built to fail.

Wow! France gifted her to us, and now they’ve captured what so many Americans are feeling on Independence Day. The values the Statue of Liberty stood for are no more.
📌 A stunning mural of the Statue of Liberty covering her face was unveiled in Roubaix, France, on July 3, 2025.

It's time for Democrats to oust the corrupt, dynastic, conservative clique controlling their party for the benefit of multimillionaire donors, in favour of a new generation that actually wants to improve people's lives. If the Democratic Party has a future, it lies with people like Zohran Mamdani.

They were supposed to be deporting “gang members” and “criminals.”
So far, they have kidnapped people working their day jobs and folks lawfully showing up for their immigration court appearances…
It was always a lie.

Purchased a Brompton G line electric bike which arrived with only 3 of the 4 gears working.
Contacted Brompton who informed me this is perfectly normal and I should adjust the gears myself.
Never had such an appalling customer service experience.

Purchased a G line 4 gear electric Brompton but bike arrived with only gears 1,2 & 3 working.
Contacted Brompton and expected the bike to be booked into a Brompton retailer to be fixed.
But no received an email informing me due to chain stretching it is perfectly normal to lose 4th gear.
