@KrysiaJ I should write a book, I’ll give my go to story a little later today, I look back on those days as foundational to my modest success in life

@permexpat In what sense?

Are Americans really ok with this?

@KrysiaJ I lived 10 years in California, I know firsthand how bad the state is run, it’s a true welfare state

That would be a good thing! Less division is what’s sorely needed in US, it’s just gotten so bad lately. If you want to know what Newsome has done for California just look at the budget and progress of high speed rail and the homeless population and how much money he has taken in vs spent to resolve that. Those two examples only are wild

@KrysiaJ It’s honestly insane. If they put up the California Governor Newsom they will lose again no matter who the Republicans put up. How the Dems don’t see this is beyond me. Newsome is a fruitcake though, real piece of shit

@permexpat Ha, yeah, in your line of work that’s not going to fly. I really didn’t know enough about her policies, I just hated Trump and if I was American would have voted for anyone but him. Can’t understand why Dems keeps fielding such weak candidates.

She would have been a complete disaster for the working class in America, and a pushover for China and the rest of the world. Trump is a laughing stock but at least he makes some kind of effort. Anyone from California will wreck everything, I mean look at how upside down Cali is. And she is 1000% against the oil and gas so I could never support that.

@permexpat Ah sorry, assumed Florida when you said you were going to Miami this summer. You reckon he’s better than them?! Really? Interested to know why. I don’t know enough really but whilst I didn’t think she was the right candidate I really don’t think she’d have bombed Iran

@max_gagliardi Your parents had to give consent? Hell we got swats from every teacher, Coach Tickner was the worst, his paddle had holes drilled in it for maximum aerodynamic speed and efficiency

When I was in elementary school they had a consent form where parents could sign off on letting the principal swat your kid with a wooden paddle They made us bend over a chair and grab the legs on the other side It was terrifying The Gen Alpha mind can not comprehend this

@KrysiaJ Florida is home now, ya know its a law when you reach a certain age you have to buy a home in Florida...aka God's waiting room

@KrysiaJ What to do when given the choice between the devil and deep blue sea?

@permexpat You guys are from Florida? Right? What do your family think? Or are they MAGA?! I have a friend here, Scottish and her FIL is full Trump and it’s just so weird. She spends hours arguing with him!

@Diabeetus_Now Oh yeah that was a solid nights sleep! Needed that

@permexpat He brother, tomorrow is a new day. Get your rest.

This is how my week went…in bed and ready to sleep at 7:30 on Friday night, not everything about getting old is a bad thing 🤪

@KrysiaJ I get up now the same time I used to go to bed, and agree 21 year old me would be horrified at what I’ve done to myself 😂

@permexpat 😂😂 my 21 yr old self would be horrified by 45 year old me. Always happy for a super early bedtime these days ☺️

@MirMAKOfficial @araghchi We ain’t goin nowhere numpty 🇺🇸

@araghchi Pakistan will always supports its neighbours who have been dear to us. May Allah grant you absolute success my brother in these talks and on this trip and may the American hegemony vanish from this region forever. Ameen.

Embarking on timely tour of Islamabad, Muscat, and Moscow. Purpose of my visits is to closely coordinate with our partners on bilateral matters and consult on regional developments. Our neighbors are our priority.

@doe7224 They probably hacked the parkedin database with all the data leaks reported last week. This is why everyone got same message yesterday

@permexpat How do they know if you are in parking? Unless if its bigger than judt scammers

Damn scammers are getting clever using Parkin fishing scam. Almost got me the bastards.

@JoeBGrech @claireindubai Every time someone calls me Pat all I can think of is…

@permexpat @claireindubai Thanks pat! She can contact @claireindubai if possible, the more the merrier

during the war i got active on X again. that's how i met @claireindubai, who works incredibly hard to re-home pets in the UAE. she's always asking her audience for help where they can. last week she asked if anyone could build her an app. i stepped in as 'web administrator' to help make it happen. the result: rescueme.ae, a platform for neglected and abandoned pets in the UAE to find loving homes. it's now a joint effort with 5+ groups across the UAE all working toward the same thing. we're in v1 but if you live in the UAE, please share. if you know anyone looking to adopt a dog, cat, or rabbit, send them to rescueme.ae and support @claireindubai and her team. RTS APPRECIATED 🫶

@jamiebsmith I have a warehouse in UAQ and slip into RAK when I’m down there, love how it’s changed over the years. I really think often about buying a flat there for weekend getaways. I should but haven’t

Been working up in RAK today. Every time I come up here it’s clear the constant evolution of this emirate as it really becomes a destination. It really will be interesting to see what RAK becomes in 5 years time with Wynn and the constant development.

@davidleedxb boom shakalaka 😂

Finally getting to celebrate our anniversary - no kids and Banyan Tree for the night 😎🍹
