This one doesn’t need to either.

Let’s see if Iran wants to play that game. If it plays out like Venezuela, it will result in younger, more capable leaders. From the same camp as those removed.

So no regime change.

Just distraction from Epstein files.

Paywalled and I like this wall.

Reality isn’t sentimental. If you hit it hard, it doesn’t cry.

Same in South Africa.

I have about ⅓ that number of followers. I also get a small number of interactions. Mostly. Every now and then something gets noticed.

Main thing: quality. Very few interactions that are abusive and block-worthy.

Check my profile.

Trump won affordability voters in 2024. Now he's losing them 20% of young, non-white, and lower-income Trump voters now say they disapprove of how he's handling his job as president

Interesting.

Same smelly socks?

What Black Women Voters Want from James Talarico After the Texas Democratic Primary Interviews with Black women voters suggest party unity alone may not be enough to carry State Rep. James Talarico in his bid for Texas’ U.S. Senate seat.

I don’t see rejection here, I see advice.

Always worth digging out.

Who cares?

Is an unflushed toilet cleaner than a sewer?

Cats like what they like.

Torpedos: the only pedos US government is willing to fire.

They still exist?

I doubt the mafia don did it.

War aims du jour.

It is a war, right?

That keeps changing too.

The call leaked. Here you go:

Boss? Do you like what I did?

No.

Switch the branding from Coke Zero to Zero Coke.

Way ahead of you. I quit when I read the ingredients. Well, not long after.

𝐂𝐚𝐫𝐛𝐨𝐧𝐚𝐭𝐞𝐝 𝐰𝐚𝐭𝐞𝐫, 𝐒𝐮𝐠𝐚𝐫, 𝐂𝐚𝐫𝐚𝐦𝐞𝐥, 𝐏𝐡𝐨𝐬𝐩𝐡𝐨𝐫𝐢𝐜 𝐀𝐜𝐢𝐝, 𝐅𝐥𝐚𝐯𝐨𝐮𝐫𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐂𝐚𝐟𝐟𝐞𝐢𝐧𝐞.

Phosphoric Acid? WTF?!?

#QuitCoke.

I finally get it. The conspiracy theory nuts support Trump because he spawns so many new conspiracies, mostly real.

Good points. The original idea, now “class 1”, was to offer a bike that cut the sweat of uphill and headwind pedalling.

Totally separate infrastructure works. Go somewhere like Denmark. Grannies ride everywhere.

He bought a president. And now it’s broken.

Hardly a recommendation for using his platform to buy anything.

I just finished a whole novel and now I have to go back to fix the shod.

Finishing a draft is good. Don’t put the pruning shears away until it’s really done.

Nice. Onward and upward. So much better than The Other Place.

Try arguing for abortion rights and see how far “medical freedom” goes.

Slavery.

Billionaires bought and removed the dot-joining pens.

All the Iranian regime needs to do is maintain pressure on oil production and keep sending US bodies back in coffins. The number doesn’t even need to be high.

And don’t forget Epstein files.

And the oil price still won’t go down.

Vietnam didn’t have that leverage.
