I’m sorry, I’m know I’m a broken record, but just think how different the world be look today if Russia hadn’t interfered in both the 2016 US Presidential election and the Brexit (ADVISORY!) referendum…
Ruining the game. Useful if it’s not overused.
Want to get there…! 🔥😃🔥
So, basically they tried getting stoned…?!
😋
And good refereeing, no messing about, no wasting time.
Can’t argue with MotM for Caelan Doris, but I’m still gutted for Stu McCloskey not getting it. If ever a player set out his stall, consistently over the whole championship, it was him.
Bloody brilliant match.
What a bloody magnificent game of rugby.
Well played, Scotland. 👏👏
Ireland were just too good.
Erin go bragh!

A diver in scuba gear and blue fins is upside down in clear water, examining a large rectangular stone on a rocky seabed while another diver with blue fins hovers nearby; an archaeological measuring stick lies on the bottom in front of the stone.
Amazing new discovery:

Copying other people can be a valuable part of the learning process. But at some point you're going to have to be you. Embrace it.
Worried about the global economy? These prints do not need to be sent through any Strait to get to you and are safe from any shipping shenanigans, AND you can burn them for fuel when all our oil runs out ✨
Or ever, tbh.
Alice Ida Antoinette Guy-Blaché (1873 – 1968) was a French pioneer film director. She was one of the first filmmakers to make a narrative fiction film, as well as the first woman to direct a film. From 1896 to 1906, she was probably the only female filmmaker in the world. #CelebratingWomen
God above.
And this morning the Shed is a forgotten room in a house filled with secrets…
A black social media post screenshot with a small circular profile picture on the left and the username “certainlyken” next to it. Below the name, white text on a black background reads, “Anyway, long story short, Odysseus gets home late.”
The Odyssey in a nutshell 😄
Aww. *hugs* 😋
You’re being too kind.
This is Nathan Cavanaugh, another DOGE staffer explaining how he flagged grants at NEH for "DEI" which would be reviewed for termination. 404 Media has reviewed hours of this footage and we'll have more soon.

Teachable moment: kids, this is one way to take a fresh approach to a problem you’ve been struggling with: turn it round the other way!

God I hear that - not so gently here either. We need to hang on just to spite the damn lurgies. 👀👍😋
You need Olive Oil to bring it to ya…!

The worst danger of AI isn't that it exploits creators, nor that it guzzles energy, wastes water and hands power to an undeserving elite, but that it severs our links to each other. It discourages conversation, spontaneity, empathy, critical thinking: everything that makes us better than machines.
Margaret A. Wilcox (1838 –1912) was an engineer and inventor of the train car heating system. She also contributed to the development of home appliance technology, but her early inventions had to be patented under her husband's name, as women were not then allowed to hold patents. #CelebratingWomen
😃😉😃
I want to know if it can still be used…!
There should be a heritage crafts red list of endangered archaeological methods
