Inspired by others I am joining in & reading a research paper a day. Day 1) Figura, M. G., et al. (2014). Seizures and EEG pattern in the 22q13. 3 deletion syndrome: clinical report of six Italian cases. Seizure, 23(9), 774-779.

@RogersHistory “Follow instructions the first time you are asked”. And if you don’t understand them?

A school has been heavily criticised this week by parents for this new set of behaviour expectations, any thoughts?

@OJoelsen Nope (France)

Twitter has been really glitchy in Greenland today: posts won't upload, profile pages won't open, no notifications. Is twitter working OK for you in your countries?

@Luka9117 @aargreen @agraybee Ain’t that the truth

@aargreen @agraybee Ain’t is not quite the same as aren’t , because we say “This ain’t it”. So it’s sorta this weird neither here nor there version between isn’t and aren’t.

How does London even work? It's Manhattan prices at Cleveland salaries? The maths ain't mathsing.

@heejactoroff @lananelfros @agraybee No ‘they’ don’t. I haven’t had a pre-paid meter since 1996

@JoeyMannarinoUS Well for starters the Trump administration doesn’t even appear to know what a tariff is.

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?

@Victoria_Rixon If I wanted to but a Bible I’d probably start in a book shop, rather than a charity shop. Why would you look in a charity shop for a specific random item?

Just walked into my local British Red Cross to purchase the Bible. A volunteer told me they refuse to sell the Holy Bible because it’s “discriminatory” to other religions. This isn’t tolerance—it’s erasure. We are living in a waking nightmare.

@BehizyTweets VAT is a sales tax. Not an import tax. Dear god, I know next to nothing about tax & even I know this.

Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick just exposed a method foreign countries have used for decades to cheat the United States in trade. "Some countries have a value-added tax and they take that VAT tax of 20% and they use it to subsidize the production of their domestic industries. That's why we can't sell cars there because they give a rebate." And these countries have the gall to act shocked that the United States is finally acting.

@Shahil0605 @GlobeEyeNews Tbf Trump’s team are underestimating everything.

China’s block of the $23 billion Panama Canal ports sale to BlackRock is a bold move, and I’m frustrated seeing the U.S. outplayed. The canal, handling 60% of U.S.-linked goods, is a global trade chokepoint, and China’s influence here is alarming. China’s outsmarting the U.S. by using its sway over CK Hutchison and regulatory tools like antitrust reviews, while diplomatically pressuring Panama, a key trade partner. With stakes in 95 global ports, China’s ensuring it doesn’t lose control to the U.S. U.S. leadership looks incompetent—Trump’s team underestimated China’s resolve and failed to secure allies, leaving America isolated. Their focus on tariffs, like the 25% on cars, has backfired, weakening their global position. This is a national security crisis for the U.S. The canal handles 40% of U.S. container shipping; Chinese influence could disrupt supply chains and even U.S. Navy movements between oceans, threatening economic and military stability. The U.S. must accept the world isn’t unipolar anymore. China’s pushing a multipolar reality, and America’s outdate dominance mindset is costing it strategic assets. It’s time to adapt—build alliances, invest in infrastructure, and play smarter diplomacy..

BREAKING: China blocks $23 billion sale of Panama Canal ports to American company BlackRock.

@jamesbolge73 @flyersforever61 @DunlaingRob @alx Are you saying politicians are above the law? Honestly I know MAGA has a poor understanding of what democracy actually is but outside Trump-land it is normal to go to prison for embezzlement. Try to read/listen to international news for a non-Fox perspective.

@flyersforever61 @DunlaingRob @alx When you run a country and influence the judiciary you can make anyone guilty. Dude it's authoritarian 101. But she's guilty because they told me. Shit is stupid.

What’s happening in France is dystopian. JD Vance vindicated yet again.

@hmastercylinder @astraiaintel I just read out: ‘Trump is the world’s best negotiator’ to my parents & we all laughed loudly for a very long time. This thread is comedy gold.

BREAKING Ukraine has REFUSED to sign the minerals agreement in the current version presented by the Trump regime. 🇺🇦🇺🇸

@holly__heart @SheldonMiller @ProudAFAmerican You’ll be fine. I had the same fear about visiting Europe post Brexit from the UK. But it was fine. Most people understand not everyone is a MAGA crazy. They might ask you about it out of interest.

@SheldonMiller @ProudAFAmerican I want to come visit the UK but I’m afraid people will throw lettuce at me because I’m American (definitely not a magat). How are y’all feeling about US tourists coming to the EU?

We're starting to see a backlash from Europeans. How will this affect tourism this year? The small town near my cabin in UT is on the loop of 5 national parks that are favorites of European visitors. These businesses depend on summer tourism to survive the long winters (1/3)

@MartianOrthodox @DrStrangetwit @HowardMortman The first Act of Union was passed in 1707 followed by further inclusions/exclusions in 1801 & 1927. Which version of the ‘yookay’ do you not like? It’s not recent in any form.

@DrStrangetwit @HowardMortman We loved England, Scotland, & Wales. We do not love The Yookay that replaced them.

"Should the Defense Secretary.." Marjorie Taylor Greene: "Wait what country are you from?" "From the UK" "OK we don't give a crap about your opinion and your reporting. Why don't you go back to your country. We have a major migrant problem. You should care about your own borders"

@ColoScot @DianneCallaha16 @JoeyMannarinoUS I can’t tell whether you’re a parody account or not. Surely you can’t actually believe that?

If you believe for one minute that Pete Hegseth, Marco Rubio, Mike Walz and JD Vance randomly and accidentally added this most rabidly anti-Trump journalist to a “national security” group chat… you’re definitely the mark. These are some of the most competent people in the country and you believe they would just screw up like this? Simply not possible. This is called media strategy and Trump is famous for stuff like this!

@TMLutas @stormie_days @RasmusJarlov Educate yourself. Google ‘checks and balances democracy’. Read about international examples rather than just the US. Many simple YouTube videos as well. Lots of recent UK examples as the Trump-Lite buffoon Johnson thought it didn’t apply to him either.

@stormie_days @RasmusJarlov Utmost importance for me is restoring the reality that the Executive branch is actually run by the President of the United States. Trump's doing that. That buys a bit of support from me for minor issues he cares about but I am otherwise indifferent to. Greenland qualifies.

Facts that the American government needs to understand: Greenland has been under the Danish crown since 1380. It is a fully integrated part of Denmark and the Greenlanders are citizens of Denmark. Only 6% of people in Greenland would prefer being American rather than Danish. The only political party that said they trust Donald Trump got 1% and no seats in the Greenlandic parlament in the election a few weeks ago. Not a single member of the Greenlandic parlaments wants to become American. All of them find it initimidating and threatening that the USA does not respect that no means no. There is no threat from China against Greenland and China has no presence in Greenland. The only threat against Greenland is the USA. Denmark will not sell Greenland. Denmark will not accept and will block any attempts of bribing the Greenlanders. Denmark will not change its stand regardless of threats from the USA.

@TMLutas @stormie_days @RasmusJarlov You need to read about checks and balances & how they protect democracy. They are an essential part of all modern democracies.

@RobertGC2001 @OJoelsen No-one wants to associate with America.

@OJoelsen Why doesn’t Greenland yearn for freedom from Denmark as much as they don’t want to associate with America? 🤔

Some of the citizens in Sisimiut, Greenland posted this on FB with this photo; Recommendation to fellow citizens in Sisimiut: Vance’s wife’s visit is a charm offensive. If you smile at them or take a selfie with them, you are sending a message to the world that you love the USA and want to be part of it. It is recommended not to show interest. We have already expressed our stance through a large demonstration—let’s remain firm and stay united.

@Turtlenumber13 @JackPosobiec The fact Americans don’t appear to know this his a little bit scary tbh

@Turtlenumber13 @JackPosobiec Hungary, unlike the rest of NATO (except, apparently, as of this month the USA) supports Russia.

BREAKING: Trump considers pulling 35,000 troops out of Germany, redeploying them to Hungary: report thepostmillennial.com/breaking-trump…

@tonyclifton578 @AnnaOdesitka Trump’s your Russian bot farm.

God help us. We will no longer have warning for Isklander missiles from America. We won’t have time to hide. We will just die. Fuck America. You own every death. Don’t tell me you are sorry. Our dead can’t hear lies. I don’t want to hear it either.

@Anniedroid_ @JessiieLynn90 Or someone having learning disabilities. A DNR was offered much faster than the blood tests I had been seeking for my 24 year old learning disabled son for 5 years. After complaints we eventually got the blood tests which showed low vitamin D levels from medication.
