Getting older is mandatory, growing up is not! :) Purple-loving gamer geek and tech nerd 🤓 I like dressing up in silly costumes to make people smile.

In 2016, men saved a dog from a reservoir in Almaty, Kazakhstan. In 2017, a statue was made for them







Trump actually called it a “stupid question” when a reporter asked about the possibility that Russia might be helping Iran target American forces. Think about that for a second. A question about whether a hostile power could be helping an enemy target and potentially kill Americans was dismissed as “stupid.” What exactly is going on here? At this point people are left wondering whether Russia has something on him. Because the reaction makes no sense. Absolutely none. When a president refuses to even seriously address the possibility that an adversary could help attack U.S. troops, it raises far more questions than it answers. Nothing about that response sounds normal leadership. What do you think explains a reaction like that from a U.S. president? And if an adversary helping target American troops is treated as a “stupid question,” what kind of message does that send to both allies and enemies? Stay connected, Follow Gandalv @Microinteracti1


Just listen to the drivel from Zack Polanski. Zack a “progressive”, has shown more hostility to the US, Israel and even the UK than to the regime which executes gays, murders protesters and subjugates women. This man is as dangerous as he is deluded.

















Following in the steps of fellow 'Apprentice' candidate, Katie Hopkins, 'patriotic' Thomas Skinner is just the latest shit-stirrer in a long line of them to monetise outrage with infantile, baseless provocations designed to fuel division and increase engagement. How very British and 'patriotic' - not. In 2011, Skinner - who identifies as Roman Catholic and last year stated "I love Trump I think he is brilliant" - was sentenced after being charged with dishonestly handling 4,992 tubes of cleansing gels worth nearly £40,000 and having 2,000 diazepam tablets. And in June 2025, Skinner was filmed alongside fellow shit-stirrer 'Honest' Bob Jenrick, praising him. Just for the record: -NOBODY is "offended by a full English"; -NOBODY thinks "a pint on a Friday is a hate crime"; -NOBODY (even Skinner) *unconditionally* "loves their country" (he rarely stops moaning about it), and; -NOBODY "gets upset" because some people "like red meat, a fry-up, and a cold Stella" - all of which many in the so-called "woke brigade" enjoy. Our media is flooded with what scholars call "outrage porn" (AKA 'rage-baiting') - content crafted to spark anger or disgust and heated debate. It hooks us with intense emotions, driving likes, shares, and comments that fuel an addictive cycle of information overload. In a crowded media landscape, online, print, and broadcast politicians, pundits, and performers compete for attention with outrageous, divisive statements, often scapegoating groups for complex problems, and/or making absurd, easily disprovable claims. These provocations grab headlines, frame debates, stir reactions, and boost algorithmic visibility. On @X, when we respond by directly replying to or quote-tweeting their vacuous adolescent provocations - even to defend those unfairly targeted or to counter their false claims - we fuel an "outrage feedback loop," boosting their engagement, and increasing their personal wealth and influence, and often that of their employers and supporters too. We all have to be more careful not to reward simplistic, divisive, baseless, deliberately inflammatory and often highly misleading or false content, which drowns out rational voices, deepening societal divides, and which can fuel radicalisation, increasing the likelihood of societal unrest and violence—which is exactly what every evil authoritarian dictator in history has thrived upon, and is exactly what helps to fuel support for Reform UK and even more extreme far-right parties, groups, and organisations. So if you want to comment (like I am here) please use screenshots. 🙏 Btw, on the bottom right are just two of the disgusting anonymous racist accounts praising and defending Skinner for his inane, childish, and (now deleted) rage-baiting tweet.
