The truth is these are not very bright guys and things got outta hand.
The Trump regime has no idea what it’s doing hour to hour, just in case you thought there was some grand strategy in Iran
When this is all done we should have a tax on everyone who said they had had enough of experts...
Just stumbling around trying to figure out how the world works.
We're so dedicated to the norm of "even handed" coverage of the parties that media outlets have to create a version of Trump that doesn't exist in reality to uphold the norm, because directly quoting him makes him look like a lunatic.
When BlueSky changes ownership, all I ask for is that I can still get a chronological feed as a default.
It no longer exists on Facebook, and Twitter makes it difficult.
I follow people because I want to see their posts when they post them.
Who could have predicted except... anyone who read anything about the use of air power over the last 50 years?
Who would win in a fight between Winston Churchill and a badger?
Culture wars make people stupid
tough look for a man with a line of antiperspirant deodorant
Yet more evidence that Westminster is spending too much time on X.

Or they were until the folk of the Dutch town of Spijkenisse took it upon themselves to build them. Now all Euro notes feature bridges from just one Dutch town
majestic
This looks like the mirror image of Liz Truss’s approval rating.
these graphs should scare the shit out of you
Who uses bank notes anymore anyway?
I’m due to remortgage next year and it’s going to be much more expensive because of the out-of-control malevolent sociopath in the White House.
Politicians need to start explaining this to voters otherwise they will get the blame for the rising cost of living. This is America and Trump’s doing.

I dread to think what the increase on mine will be when we get to next year will be...

My rough timeline:
