@JonathanPieNews I think he means his "personal financial security"...

I thought it was for his 'personal security'? That's the problem when you lie so much. You forget whatever bollocks you said in the past.

President Obama on Iran: “We pulled it off without firing a missile. We got 97% of their enriched uranium out. There’s no dispute that it worked and we didn’t have to kill a whole bunch of people or shut down the Strait of Hormuz”

Pathetic. Energy generation and consumption for my home in Portugal. Relatively small solar (and battery) set up. The grid supplied power is virtually zero.

BURGUM: When the sun goes down, solar produces zero electricity HUFFMAN: I want to enter into the record this amazing new technology that apparently the secretary is unaware of -- it's a battery

Has Trump ever called a leader of a democratic country a "great leader"?
I'm assuming so, but can't remember this level of praise for any of the leaders of our democratic allies.

Trump to Xi: “We’re going to have a fantastic future together. I have such respect for China and the job you’ve done. You’re a great leader. I say it to everybody. You’re a great leader.”

Trump to Xi: “We're going to have a fantastic future together. I have such respect for China. The job you've done. You're a great leader…It’s an honor to be with you. It’s an honor to be your friend”
(Compare this to how Trump talks about President Zelenskyy and America’s closest allies in Europe)

The average Irish worker is the 9th best paid in the world according to the International Labour Organization. And that's taking into account the cost of living in Ireland and elsewhere. Employees are paid US$5,400 a month here, on average. 🇮🇪💶

Yes, and @MichealMartinTD stopped smoking in pubs, others ended the criminalisation of homosexuality, liberalised sexual health and made many other positive changes. Ireland today is a much better place than it was in the 1980s. Not perfect, but better.

People say politicians rarely change anything. Mary Harney almost single-handedly got rid of Dublin’s century old smog.

@simonmaechling Hi, Simon. Great and important work. It's important to know you are not just screaming into the void.

I’m not a bot. I’m a chemist. I’m a human with a PhD in Chemistry, trying to talk about science.
My goal is simple, make people smarter, not angrier.
Science, explained clearly.
I swear this place is full of bots. If you are a human too, drop a “Hi” so I can get to know you.

Let’s be honest about what we’re watching here.
🇺🇸 330 million people, the country that put men on the moon, defeated the Nazis is now sitting on its sofa watching its president post crayon drawings of Venezuela with an American flag on it.
At least the Russians who oppose Putin have a reasonable excuse not to speak up. Siberia is cold and windows are tall. At least North Koreans can point to the very real possibility of their entire extended family being relocated to a concrete box with no heating. These are legitimate barriers to civic engagement.
What’s America’s excuse?
You can vote. You can protest. You can run for office. Nobody is sending you to a gulag. The worst thing that happens is someone calls you a name on Truth Social. And yet, there you all sit, 330 million of you, watching a man who cannot spell “Venezuela” claim it as American territory, while nodding along like this is a completely normal thing for a head of state to do.
No dictator in modern history has done more damage to the prestige of a country’s highest office than this man, and he’s done it entirely voluntarily, with access to the full resources of the American government, and a communications team that apparently just lets him post whatever falls out of his head before breakfast.
Kim Jong-un, for all his considerable faults, has never once posted a map with a flag on it and called it foreign policy.
Think about that.

This isn't just a public health problem. It's a cancer infecting society generally. Public understanding of science needs to be a priority in all developed countries.

The biggest public health problem today isn’t chemicals. It’s scientific illiteracy.

More than half of all Irish adults attended some form of artistic performance in the past year - and among those aged under 35, 70% did. Music and movies are the most popular, with c. 2 million people going to at least one concert and the same number to one or more films. 🇮🇪🧑🎤📽️

The only dictators Trump doesn’t praise are the ones who won’t kiss his ass in return. Lukashenko is an abhorrent despot who has turned Belarus into a Russian puppet for his own gain. Ukraine escaped this fate at a high cost in blood, something Trump will never understand.

I think most of us Europeans don't appreciate this enough:
Whenever we want, we can take the car, drive to Austria, Italy, or France, and stay as long as we wish...
We can hop on a train to Paris by night to have a coffee with Eiffel tower views in the morning...
We can take a €12 plane to Milan and enjoy an Italian pasta on a random Saturday...
As much as my brain says Europe is lost - we HAVE to keep fighting for our beautiful continent...
Blessed to be European ❤️

This reader comment on a NY Times column where Ross Douthat ponders that maybe God is speaking to us through A.I. is an absolute fastball on the corner with movement, and deserves a column. "Lightening was once mysterious too; mystery did not make Zeus correct" is perfect.
