@RadioFreeTom One day my NPD boss was just starting sentences, breaking off and starting new ones. I'd had enough, and wryly told her she now had 21 incomplete thoughts hanging in air, and my ability to retain them had run out. New diversion would = delete an old one. She didn't fire me. 🤷🏼‍♀️

And we just all pretend it's normal and this is not a sign of serious, alarming cognitive issues

@MiraTweeta A sunny heart in your sunny Easter Sunday! How beautiful!

Good morning friends. Sunny & breezy in London this Sunday. It’s #EasterSunday. Warmest wishes for a joyful and blessed Easter Sunday!

@dieworkwear Grrrl here; I love my linen/wool and linen/silk skirts! They look gorgeous, resist creasing, and hold rich colors well. They last forever too, if you care for them reasonably well.

Harrison's of Edinburgh, my favorite cloth merchant, sells a linen-wool blend in their "Isca" book. This fabric has a subtle sheen that's hard to capture in photos or videos, but is unmistakably special in-person. It's great for evening occasions. IG be_spokenbyjihae

One day, "It" will happen, by which I mean sudden and unexpected news that you want to celebrate. In such cases, you will want the right outfit. 🧵

@MiraTweeta A blessed and quiet day for you today. We all could do well to think about how we treat each other, and what an honorable life might consist of for ourselves.

Good morning friends. Cloudy & breezy in London on Friday. It’s #GoodFriday today. It is observed by Western Christianity. Orthodox Christians will observe a week later, next Friday. Today is the saddest day in the Christian calendar. A solemn day. A Friday of a passion of the Lord. Commemorating the crucifixion of Jesus & his death at Calvary observed by Christian’s

@RadioFreeTom @JeremyKonyndyk Noel Casler has been telling us this is who he is since 2015. Throwing rocks at the neighbor's baby in its stroller. He loves watching people suffer from his actions. Awful.

Dear God. (Capturing the ship would have been a far better move, especially if we offered the crew asylum.) This is basically admitting a crime.

@Stormontenergy @SpencerHakimian I have lots of turkeys in my yard. I don't think you can move very much oil via turkey. 🦃🤔 Wait...Turkey! 🇹🇷🤣

Because all the production and fields feed into the Persian Gulf and all the infrastructure is located there. You would need multiple pipelines at a cost of billions and it would take years. Iraq can move via turkey but other countries are screwed. Far better to just police the Strait.

This is probably a stupid question but can someone explain it to me like I’m 5. If Iran blocks off the Persian Gulf/Strait of Hormuz, why can’t countries must move their oil through The Red Sea/Gulf of Aden?

@Osinttechnical Maybe I'm just meme-spirited, but any hopes the Kuwaitis buy us 3 new F-15's?

Footage of Kuwaiti locals approaching one of the shot down American pilots this morning. “Are you OK? Thank you for helping us.”

@NewsHour @nickschifrin So much information. Really helpful to hear Gen. Kellogg's observations and opinions. Sane news reporting: what a great idea!

Russia's full-scale invasion of Ukraine has entered its fifth year. The war is a brutal, bloody stalemate and diplomacy appears deadlocked. Retired Lt. Gen. Keith Kellogg was President Donald Trump's special envoy to Ukraine until the end of 2025 and is now the co-chair of American security at the America First Policy Institute. Compass Points host @nickschifrin sat down with Kellogg for an inside look at the Trump administration's strategy for ending the war, how we got here and what's ahead. “It's sort of like an American poker game. If you go all in, the other side doesn't know, do you really have the cards or not? And I think we do, we the United States, have got the cards to force Putin to say, 'Time for you to go home. Time to call it a day, time to end this war,'” Kellogg said. He added that the Russian leader “is not gonna win this war. I don't think he's got the wherewithal to do so." Compass Points from PBS News analyzes prominent international affairs topics and America’s role in a shifting world, breaking down global conflicts, rising tensions, and their implications for U.S. interests.

@thespybrief The writing on the grid is English. Is that a grain elevator?

@thespybrief Sad to hear you've lost a friend.

@MiraTweeta A sweet Christmas celebration for you! Wishing you blessings of peacefulness and beauty for this next year!

Morning friends. Sunny, breezy & cold on Tuesday in London. Today is the Christian Orthodox Christmas Eve. Wishing all who celebrate, like myself all the best. Below is a fresco with the three magi led by an angel on their way to Bethlehem. 🎄☦️🎄☦️🎄☦️🎄

@sentdefender @MeidasTouch Flightradar shows planes all over the Caribbean; but clear air over Venezuela. Of course, US military planes in combat do not turn on their transponders. But it implies that air traffic is under advisory to stay away from Venezuela.

Full-scale military operations appear to be underway against Venezuela, with dozens of helicopters with the U.S. Army spotted over the capital of Caracas.

@TrumpWarRoom @SecretaryBurgum So $100 less each foreign visitor has to spend supporting local small businesses that depend on Park visitors for their living. It might as well be a tax on the locals.

.@SecretaryBurgum: "One small little gift that we are giving all Americans... is that not only are we keeping prices low for all American citizens, we're offering 10 free days for our national parks to coincide with our holidays, but also a $100 surcharge for nonresidents."

@MiraTweeta Despite all the World’s troubles, I have much to be thankful for this Thanksgiving Day. So many people choose to be kind; I am resolved to be one of them, as often as I can. Maybe sometimes kindness can simply be the absence of cruelty.

Good morning friends. Cloudy & a gentle breeze this Thursday in London. Wishing all my US friends a very #HappyThanksgiving . Have a wonderful family day! 🇺🇸. Best wishes to you. Praying for peace. Praying for the vulnerable. All be well friends. 🙏🏻 Baby Harvest sends her love.

@atrupar Can <> Will. 🙄

COLLINS: If the government reopened tonight, would Republicans have a plan to address the Obamacare subsidies? MIKE JOHNSON: Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. We do. We have proposals. Yeah. We can have that ready immediately.

@SkinnerPm See if you weren’t a policeman, or a lawyer, you’d find it easier to suspend disbelief here. 🙄

Usually when you kill a bunch of super duper scary ‘narco-terrorists’ in military strikes that are super duper legal, you let the survivors go home without any charges because that makes so much sense.

@IanJaeger29 So, thousands of Trump supporters show up to hear DJT spout boring repetitive blather for hours, on their Saturdays. And yeah, the ones standing behind him are paid; so Trump fans think fans of Freedom and American values wouldn’t do what DJT fans do? And without boring speeches?

I refuse to believe that people are actually spending their Saturday’s protesting. How many of these “No Kings” protestors are being paid? We need a federal investigation into this.

@CaitTzar @MerriamWebster In English, typically the vowel in an unaccented syllable degrades to a schwa, so QUEENS-lund. Or -lihnd. Or VOW-uhl. But Ozzie’s gotta Oz, and isn’t that a fun thing?

@MerriamWebster listen to us for half a freaking second. The one I'm curious about at the moment though is Queenslind for Queensland. Is it just yanks being yanks? But I wonder if it's possibly a legitimate variation and it only annoys me from yanks but not if said in the appropriate accent? 2/2

What’s the word where you’re from that, when pronounced exactly as it looks, identifies a tourist immediately?

@MerriamWebster The name of the City: Baltimore. Locals used to call it Baldimore. Or Ballimer. Non-locals pronounced the”t” as a t.

@NewsHour If the Court says banning this therapy is not ok, does that give doctors who have been told they cannot discuss options for terminating pregnancies a case to overturn those bans, on grounds of free speech?

The Supreme Court heard arguments in a case that could change standards of medical care and strike down bans on so-called conversion therapy for children. Conversion therapy broadly refers to attempts to change a person’s sexual orientation or gender identity and is banned in 23 states and the District of Columbia. @GeoffRBennett speaks to @AHoweBlogger about the case.
