Graham Bagshaw. #Apollo 🌓 teenager 🇺🇦🏳️‍🌈

Goodness, 25568 days and counting for me! Today I begin my 71st year on this Earth. I've made 70 laps around the Sun now. To celebrate I plan do or post something important for 70 days. #70GBgems - a 70 thread! And indulge just a bit. My own #birthday rule says I can... 😊👇

@nexta_tv The FBI has heard rumours that armed kamikaze chihuahuas may be targeting the White House riding attack drones and president #Trump will announce about this tonight as further justification for his big #ballroom!

A dog “fired” a shotgun at a passerby in the U.S., KNOP News reports The probability that a dog might shoot you with a shotgun is low, but it is never zero. The incident took place in Nebraska. According to police, the dog jumped in the back seat of a vehicle and accidentally pulled the trigger of a loaded shotgun. The shot went through the car door, and one of the pellets struck a woman’s hand in a nearby vehicle. She was hospitalized; her life is not in danger. Illustration photo.

@RuthSummie A woman who reads will prompt a man to look up from the book he's reading. A woman who reads would smile when he says Let's go out shopping for book bargains. A woman who reads would wait when she entices him upstairs but he just needs to finish a chapter first.

A woman who reads is harder to fool. A woman who reads knows the difference between a man who loves her and a man who loves the idea of her. A woman who reads has already lived a thousand lives before breakfast. A woman who reads will outlast every person who underestimated her quietly. A woman who reads knows that the right words at the right time can save a life. Hers included. A woman who reads is never truly alone. She has too many characters who understand her. A woman who reads will choose a slow Sunday with a good book over a loud room with empty people. A woman who reads knows her own mind. That makes her difficult to control. A woman who reads and grieves fictional characters like real ones. Because inside the story, they were. A woman who reads is building something inside herself that no one can take away. A woman who reads will always have somewhere to go, even when she has nowhere to go. A woman who reads is not waiting to be written into someone else's story. She is too busy writing her own. A woman who reads knows when a story is worth her time and when a person isn't. She has sat with fictional heartbreak long enough to recognize the real kind before it fully arrives. Women who read are difficult to keep small. A woman who reads is harder to fool. A woman who reads knows herself better than most. Women who read are rarely impressed by people who don't think deeply. A woman who reads has empathy that has been deliberately trained. Women who read are the most interesting people in any room. She is quiet in rooms but loud on the page underlining, arguing, falling apart and rebuilding herself between chapters. A woman who reads does not need to be the most impressive person present.

@SpaceX Would love to know if that final 2 engine pirouette was planned or if it wasn't able to come to the appropriate stationary point for a pretend catch!

@SpaceX This is one of the best Starship Flight 12 videos; look at those sound waves!

I don’t think people understand the gravity of what we are looking at in this photo. This should infuriate every single one of us.

Sacre rouge! 🔥🔥🔥

So very staged it's like watching a certain presidential targeting event.

@nexta_tv So very staged it's like watching a certain presidential targeting event.

A “Matrix glitch” occurred in Vietnam: a woman entered a shop and couldn’t find the sales assistant for a long time because they were moving in perfect sync. After about a minute, the two finally managed to find each other.

@AnnieForTruth You're certainly not free to speak as you like - how many have to hold their tongue criticizing Trump on here or face further throttling? - and brave maybe, but not if you ask all who love the 2nd Amendment to try giving up their guns for a month - they'd go ballistic in protest!

What happened to our beloved America that we have loved, cherished, respected and honored for 250 years? 😢 ‘Land of the FREE,’ ‘Home of the BRAVE,’ freedom, democracy, constitutional Republic, world leader, humanitarianism, melting pot, care and compassion for our neighbors?

@CLies13 Well gee, that's nice of you Lies. If I ever visit Canada I'll give you a hug 🤗😊

@GBApollo Happy belated 🥳

@CLies13 @BergerDagm19640 @SweetieCanuck @mlradsma @beebeewood @sheswings @BilasHeidi You can only alert them, and some will be foolish and still follow bots. I alerted someone yesterday once I saw their response to a Bot. Yet they've bounced many negative comment people arguing they're bots! Imagine being real in Nigeria on here! Hard to convince some I bet?!

@GBApollo @BergerDagm19640 @SweetieCanuck @mlradsma @beebeewood I vet new followers pretty closely as well, esp "🇺🇦s". & I keep my account relatively small - on purpose 🤷‍♀️ I might as well have saved my breath, they're all still following Nigeria-based scammer @sheswings 🙄 & now @BilasHeidi seems to be also following this fake "Larry." 😒

Friends @BergerDagm19640 @SweetieCanuck @mlradsma @beebeewood my new follower (Larry, below) is ... not who they say they are. I will be removing this fake, reporting/blocking -- & recommend y'all do the same 👍 (as you're following) How did I know fraudulent? see next page 😉⤵️

@CLies13 @BergerDagm19640 @SweetieCanuck @mlradsma @beebeewood @sheswings @BilasHeidi I was able to keep my followers under 500 with Bot blocking but I got few genuine ones lately. But why follow if you don't see, Like or comment ever? That's not following, it's insincere and I don't want such people. I'd rather have 10 that do interact than my 500 honestly.

It's now day 8 of my 70 birthday days and I said I'd post or something important each day. #70GBgems. But as 99% of my own posts, like the experience of so many on this app, get about as many Likes as there are working cells in Trump's brain, it's all rather pointless isn't it?

@WolfKB2 @Jpod_art @McDonalds So many people voted for me, they love me, my polling number are like nobody's ever seen before, so I need that big ballroom with 6" thick glass as I'm even popular with assassins, they say Sir, we'd really like to take you out. McDonald's I hope. I did great work there too.

@Jpod_art @McDonalds trump may get a temporary job when the Kyiv McDonald's is to reopen 🍔🍔🍔🍟🍟🍟 ___ #SLAVAUKRAINE #VICTORYUKRAINE 🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦 🕊️🕊️🕊️🕊️🕊️🕊️🕊️

Sharing a #cat video is a way of guaranteeing getting a Like.🐱 Probably just the 1 from my XBuddy 😊

Can't a #cat find somewhere to chill out and be left alone around here?!

@MissJilianne I could understand it if it was only occasionally and without vehicles on those occasions buy that looks awful, inappropriate for such a place and makes it dangerous for pedestrians.

As a Democrat, I can admit I’ve been voting wrong. Look what Mayor Karen Bass has allowed to happen to Hollywood Boulevard. It’s not only disgusting, it’s an embarrassment. It’s much worse than the picture depicts.

@Dr_M_Davis Sad how many call for an overwhelming military attack, because the prior ones were clearly so very successful!, and can't stumoch a Trump pull back, claiming victory while actually being humiliated to end this nonsense. It would fail long term anyway. Talk, don't threaten!

On the #Iran-US 'MoU', my take is its more likely to fail than succeed. Conflicting reporting and indications of widening gaps in understanding suggest that this so-called 'agreement' really isn't heading in the right direction. So I wouldn't assume that the war is over. If, and more likely, when, the MoU falls apart, the question is... what then? A return to war is the most likely outcome, but any resumption of the military campaign cannot result in an inconclusive outcome. Simply put, if the US (and Israel) returns to bombing, they must demonstrate clear success - be it imposing a military defeat on Iran - or forcing Tehran to accept a peace deal based on US terms. Neither are guaranteed. What is guaranteed is further, rapid depletion of US missile stockpiles, leaving the US less prepared to deal with other future crises, or to support allies. What is highly likely is a very real prospect of rapid escalation of the war by both sides. The alternative to a return to war may be worse - if the US tries to 'declare victory' and walks away - leaving Iran in an advantageous position vis a vis the Strait of Hormuz, with their nuclear ambitions intact, with the regime in place and with an ability to rapidly reconstitute their military capability. This would amount to a US strategic failure. That would be read globally as further evidence of a US in decline - a collapse of US global credibility - and it would embolden Beijing and Moscow to exploit US weakness, whilst undermining the confidence of key US allies - both in Europe and the Indo-Pacific - that the US is a credible defence and security partner. Such an outcome would prompt far larger and more dangerous trends emerging that unravel international stability and order. A perceived US failure in the #IranWar‌ sows the seeds for larger wars in the near future. This is a 'no win' scenario if a credible diplomatic solution cannot be found which meets the interests of the US and prevents Iran from getting nuclear weapons, forces open the Strait of Hormuz, and stops the regime in Iran from remaining a threat to the Middle East region.
