Fuck no. Absolutely not. Cut disability benefits but give tax dodgers a get out of jail free card?

They've sold their soles to Trump....

Installment #1287348 of "never underestimate Ukraine"

Apparently they're dancing in the streets in Flushing, NY

Aha - so he guessed their foot sizes and got them wrong:

I still think about this a lot.

I expect all the "solar farms remove valuable farming' house building/recreational land from sensible use" pundits will be all over this and making clear their contempt....any time now.....any time...

Dont disagree with that. Chances of it happening, pretty slim. so guerrilla action shouldn't be ruled out.

this is a start, your next step is up to you but could involve words of mild disapproval, a water pistol filled with cooking oil, a laser pointer or a cricket bat...

It’s day 10 of Trump’s reckless war with Iran, and he’s already wasted nearly $11 BILLION dollars.

That’s more than twice as much as what we spend each year on community health centers that provide medical care for low-income & uninsured Americans.

Priorities.

Whoa

"He told another colleague, who refused to help him upload the data because of legal concerns, that he expected to receive a presidential pardon if his actions were deemed to be illegal,"

NBC News poll Voters hold negative views of Al. In fact, the only topics less popular in the survey were the Democratic Party and Iran.

Truly a perfect news alert

You can, it's called recycling. And the lion, thats just a tingly feline and it too will pass.

"Twisted Prior's charter" was right there.

FACTS:

Net Zero barely nudges your bill.

Fossil‑fuel wars send it through the roof.

So when Farage and his ilk slags off renewables while fanning conflict, remember who actually hikes your costs.

Two pairs of beavers released in Cornwall by wildlife trust Wildlife experts say the release is a "landmark" for nature recovering in Cornwall and nationally.

Enjoy a full minute of beavers being released into the wild in Cornwall. These little fluffbutts are the first to swim in these waters in a very, very long time - the last official records of beavers in the wild in England are from the 1300s. BBC buff.ly/BnMwCOx

Nigel Farage's Humiliating Iran U-Turn Should Be a Lesson for Keir Starmer By sticking to the correct and popular position on Donald Trump's Iran war, the Prime Minister has now forced his political opponents into an embarrassing reversal, argues Adam Bienkov

"In the last 24 hours both Farage and Badenoch have U-turned on their previous support for Britain joining Trump’s war, with both even daring to suggest that they had never really backed joining it in the first place."

This very straight news piece buried deep within the FT never uses words like corruption or insider dealing but every detail is quietly devastating. Why is the FT virtually alone in the UK media in covering this important story?

Long-time buddies Timothy McVeigh and Terry Nichols were out for a pleasant van drive in Oklahoma when, all of a sudden, their lives would change.

Nuclear experts undercut White House claims about Iran reactor at heart of case for war The Trump administration sent negotiators without nuclear expertise to lead talks on Iran’s enrichment program. Now, its public case for war centers on a facility that experts say cannot do what offic...

This is a technical story with stunning strategic implications. It is quite possible the US launched a massive war because Jared Kushner and Steve Witkoff lacked the technical expertise to even understand what the Iranians were offering in negotiations. Absolute idiocy.

How did I know the Trump admins wouldn’t get a nuclear deal with Iran no matter how much bluster and bullying they tried?

Multiple reasons. But one was they didn’t include any nuclear physicists or engineers in the talks, in sharp contrast to the intricately detailed Iran nuclear deal that worked.

Mamdani Chooses His Words Carefully After Alleged Terror Attack

One day the NYT's editors will read these stories again and be ashamed of themselves. Mamdani called the attack "heinous," "criminal," "reprehensible," "terrorism," and "the antithesis of who we are." The insinuation that he's conflicted about this is disgraceful. www.nytimes.com/2026/03/09/n...

Todays BIG questions, we ask "Can your toaster get depressed, is your tumble dryer stuck in a vicious cycle of work, can your iPad suffer from being pointed at all the time"

Might as well ask a hammer for the answer. Or a nail.

And the Schrödinger's disability aspect where you are simultaneously exhorted to "do better" because you're not "as good as the rest of us" but when you do excel you're told "you're amazing for a disabled person" NEVER "you're better than the rest of us". Can't escape the low expectation ever. Sigh

I read that in your bio!
