US discussing "range of options" to acquire Greenland including use of military, White House says bbc.in/4sIQcfw

@SimonH00346891 @ManiamAkash @BBCBreaking @olibaer00 Well then, justify your 30% contributions comment.. I’ll be here waiting…

@SpocksBrain4 @ManiamAkash @BBCBreaking @olibaer00 Thanks for telling us you're an idiot.

@SimonH00346891 @ManiamAkash @BBCBreaking @olibaer00 The US is Russia. Regarding contributions - don’t make the mistake of confusing military spend with NATO contributions.

@ManiamAkash @BBCBreaking @olibaer00 The US is NATO. The other 30% combined contributors are not in any position to keep China or Russia out of Greenland.

@ruqqzter @auwearness @ShadowofEzra I was just going to go with with “most of the time they didn’t”, but your response works just as well.

@auwearness @ShadowofEzra Every time us started a war? Like 90% in the last decades :D

Vladimir Putin warns that Russia is ready to go to war with all of Europe if that’s the path European leaders choose. He insists Moscow has no intention of starting a war, but says if Europe ignites it, Russia will be the one to finish it. He adds that facing Europe would be nothing like fighting Ukraine, calling it a showdown that would erase any hope of future negotiations.

@Paul92265247 @AllisonPearson The triple locked pensions are part of the problem and are totally unsustainable.

@AllisonPearson If you are on state pension then due to tax thresholds not moving pensioner's will only get 80 percent of the triple lock in the future as the new state pension is almost equal to the nil rate allowance

If you earn over £50,270 a year you will now pay 40% tax even if things are tight for your two-child family and the cost of living is horrendous. If you have six children, Labour will now give you £14,000 extra. What was that about Fairness? #Budget

@AnonEtc @agile_phil @OctopusEnergy Hi Phil, out of interest is there a recording of yesterday’s webinar? I’m thinking of ditching Octopus Agile over winter but was hoping to learn more about changes to smart tariffs coming soon?

@agile_phil @OctopusEnergy Where will people be able to find them?

@agile_phil will your @OctopusEnergy session "10 things you may not know about smart home tariffs" on Monday be recorded so users who can't attend can watch it?

@auley_gerald @PolitlcsUK Correct

@SpocksBrain4 @PolitlcsUK They take 20 percent of anything over £12570 in your tax allowance for the year.

🚨 NEW: Rachel Reeves will announce an above inflation 4.8% rise to the state pension in the Budget

@auley_gerald @PolitlcsUK The state pension will still be below tax thresholds (only just). And even if it were over (which again, it isnt), they don’t take 20% of the whole amount.

@PolitlcsUK They will be taking 20 per cent back in most cases due to the tax threshold.

@lqjsjsk76978329 @ShishirShelke1 Because people keep blocking them

@_Deez_Games @ShishirShelke1 We did have ads, but they were only at the start of the video. Now they include them everywhere.

YouTube Premium is one of those services that’s actually worth the money, but somehow people still don’t want to pay for it

@CowMowTV1 @ShishirShelke1 The more people block or bypass the ads, the more aggressive the ads will be for everyone else. I think YT premium is ok - Wish they did a version without music. Also wish they’d stop creators building in sponsored segments.

@_Deez_Games @ShishirShelke1 Yes, of course YouTube as the largest library of online content should just give free access to it and not pay creators and copyright holders. Sarcasm off. The content of the ads and amount of ads have become a problem however and I think it's part of the critics they are facing

@AdninsReaction @orbitalband @GreenpeaceUK @FloexOfficial @Lone In Sides, as an album, will touch the deepest recesses of your soul, for the rest of your life. It’s that good an album.

@orbitalband @GreenpeaceUK @FloexOfficial @Lone “In Sides” was the first Orbital album I ever bought and “The Girl with the Sun in Her Head” quickly became one of my favorite pieces of music ever. Love it.

“The Girl with the Sun in Her Head”; recorded on @greenpeaceuk’s solar generator Cyrus & dedicated to Sally Harding. Its title nods to John Barry’s “The Girl with the Sun in Her Hair.” 1st played 12 Apr 1996, later reimagined by @FloexOfficial & @lone 🌞

@10PinChameleon @Spazmodlc The best music album ever created, by anyone. Good shout.

@Spazmodlc orbital - in sides!

I like these albums please give me more electronic recs I have not heard much

@Yotboyo @Ranjeet18 @interesting_aIl @grok They’re not trying to add the weight, they willingly accepted it when they ordered the option. For the small additional weight, they save £200-£1200 in airport fees each time, have the option to fly to airports with few facilities & shave a few mins off turnarounds.

@Ranjeet18 @interesting_aIl @grok You're trying to add the weight of a ladder to every plane in the sky when one on the ground serves many a day.

How Ryanair saves millions of dollars a year with this simple trick

@SteveW775 @Ranjeet18 @interesting_aIl @grok No it’s an option. The 737s were designed to sit low to the ground, but as engines got larger over the years they had to flat bottom them to allow enough clearance.

@Ranjeet18 @interesting_aIl @grok Don't all 737s have these steps? That means the aircraft has to sit closer to the ground, hence the flat bottomed engines.

@modibrij @Mostlyy_Human @interesting_aIl There is no recline facility on Ryanair and many other European low cost airlines. The seats are too crammed in and the mechanism would cost more to manufacture and maintain.

@Mostlyy_Human @interesting_aIl Few more *If you press the flight attendant button, you may be charged *Charge from saving the passengers from turbulence * if you want to recline the seat, you will be charged * water will not be charged but paper cup will be charged 😄

@CesrFlrs @Bricktop_NAFO Sure, when your mom’s garden and living room are annexed by invading neighbours, just let them have it. They’ll never come after your garden or house of course?

@Bricktop_NAFO Another option: We, the west stop funding the war!

How To End The War In Ukraine. 1. Russia Leaves Ukraine.

@JungleRockRes 84.2 freedom eagles. But you have to adjust for brick houses and no AC, 1.5x multiplier, so 110.3 freedoms. Over the weekend it’s expected to hit 115-120.

You know this is illegal in the UK

@MacRumors It is not Mother’s Day. You should make it clearer in the title you’re talking about US.

Apple Pay Has a Mother's Day Offer macrumors.com/2025/05/01/app…

@JoeyMannarinoUS Because the tariffs being applied aren’t truly reciprocal. If the US wanted other territories to import more US goods in order to narrow down trade deficits (in US favour), then they needed to make goods suitable for those export countries and goods that people actually want.

Can someone please explain to me what's so bad about America putting tariffs on countries who have tariffs on America? If tariffs are so bad why do they have them on us?

@Ordinary_Adam Done! He’s a cutey!
