My favorite part of any General Election is some Virgin one correspondent watching the live count with the fragile patience of a parent who has been told they have to let their child work out their maths homework on their own.

Trump despises the EU, he has historically backed the UK’s departure from the EU, notably during his first term when he praised Brexit saying it would be a "great thing" for Britain. Comprehensive reasons or what?

This is bad reporting devoid of context. It just parrots the talking points of Lowry with little critique. It's effectively native advertising. See the same story done right in next post. 1/2 #spéirgorm

Okay, #spéirgorm #irishsky. Storm Éowyn. It worried me. If the big cold had come after, rather than before, we'd've had people freezing to death in their own homes.
I emailed my county councillors today over my concerns about our local community being underprepared for extreme weather events.

(October 21, 1956 – December 27, 2016) was an American actress and writer. She played Princess Leia in the original Star Wars films (1977–1983). Fisher wrote several semi-autobiographical novels, including Postcards from the Edge and an autobiographical one-woman play, and its nonfiction book, Wishful Drinking, based on the play. She wrote the screenplay for the film version of Postcards from the Edge which garnered her a nomination for the BAFTA Award for Best Adapted Screenplay, and her one-woman stage show of Wishful Drinking received a nomination for the Primetime Emmy Award for Outstanding Variety, Music or Comedy Special. She worked on other writers' screenplays as a script doctor, including tightening the scripts for Hook (1991), Sister Act (1992), The Wedding Singer (1998), and many of the films from the Star Wars franchise, among others.[7] An Entertainment Weekly article from May 1992 described Fisher as "one of the most sought-after doctors in town."[8][9]
Fisher was the daughter of singer Eddie Fisher and actress Debbie Reynolds.
the absence of a star for Fisher on the Hollywood Walk of Fame after her death, fans created their own memorial using a blank star. Along with flowers and candles, words put on the blank star read, "Carrie Fisher / May The Force Be With You Always / Hope". Fans also gathered at the Yoda Fountain outside the Lucasfilm offices in San Francisco. In June 2021, it was announced that Fisher would receive an official star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame in 2022. She received the star on Star Wars Day 2023.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:qb4oplsgvdtu6xynnfiptom5/bafkreicbpvqsdpelt7cuo2wbk6pe5su3hqc7nkqhwaded5mrixurumky7m@jpeg)

It is a good time to remember that human history has been most defined not by progress but by struggle, and our job is to find our place in the struggle, not lament that we cannot enjoy a life of luxury — for this never was, and never will be, what it means to be fully alive.

With zero engagement? I'm not on any starter pack, I rarely post here and I am not well known.
I even spent an evening deleting followers that I knew didn't know me but the next day I had as many followers again!!
