#NowPlaying @Fulcicult “Tropical Sun”. Their latest one didn’t entirely grab me at first, but my buds over at @BangersP (who else!?) suggested I give this one a spin. And OOOOOF - what an absolute banger 🔥🔥🔥 Groove, riffs, hooks - just how I like my death metal. Love it.

@ZackAttackP1 Can’t do it. The silliest of genres in a genre awash with silliness. I love metal btw.

@terrychristian You advocate for inherited shame for the actions of your forbears? How very repressed, Confucian, Stalinist even. The declaration of human rights (1948) rendered this thinking obsolete. Not a good look here Terence.

Imagine if your dad was a scab or your brother or your son. The shame would stain your family's good name and reputation for generations - deservedly so

Do you know by 45, life has already answered you. Not with words, but with outcomes.
At 45, you are no longer becoming. You have largely become. Your finances, health, relationships, and reputation are no longer promises. They are evidence.
This is the age where self deception collapses. You can’t keep blaming your parents, your country, your spouse, or bad luck.
Because by now, you have made enough choices to own where you stand.
By 45, time is no longer theoretical.
You feel it in your knees, your back, your energy levels, and your recovery time.
You realize youth was not just age. It was resilience you did not respect.
At this stage, regret becomes loud.
Not the dramatic kind, but the quiet ones.
The calls you never returned.
The skills you postponed learning.
The risks you were too comfortable to take.
By 45, your children, or the absence of them, mirror your priorities.
Your marriage, or lack of peace in it, reflects how well you learned emotional discipline.
Your friendships are fewer, because tolerance for nonsense is gone.
This is also when money tells the most honest story.
Not income, but preparedness.
If work stops today, how long can you breathe without panic.
At 45, that answer matters more than titles.
By this age, people stop listening to your explanations.
They watch how you live.
You are either a reference point or a warning.
Your health is no longer forgiving.
Every ignored checkup.
Every year of stress without rest.
Every habit you told yourself you would fix later.
Later has arrived.
At 45, dreams that survived discipline look powerful. Dreams that survived excuses look childish.
You now understand that hope without structure is cruelty to yourself.
This is the age where legacy quietly replaces ambition.
You start thinking less about applause and more about impact.
Less about proving, more about leaving something solid behind.
By 45, life stops negotiating.
It simply enforces the consequences of earlier decades.
And the most painful realization is this. Most people did not fail because life was unfair. They failed because they delayed honesty with themselves.
At 45, peace becomes the real currency. And you either earned it through discipline, foresight, and humility. Or you spend the rest of your years trying to explain why you don’t have it.

Listen to Megadeth covering “Ride the Lightning” ⚡
Dave Mustaine revisits his Metallica-era roots with a blistering take on the classic from Metallica’s Ride the Lightning. Raw, fast, and dripping with history.
🔥 Crank it up, headbang responsibly, and tell us what you think.

Well we made it despite the biggest queue I have seen since @RoryStewartUK and I did the O2. I fear we may have to do a livestream @restispolitics reaction later

@ChrisHilton83 If he was a trumpet, it won’t need a new manager for the bounce.

Well you fuckers! Hopefully the recruitment process takes longer than a week….. #bcafc

@Morgan_C_Ross The problem here is the word discussed. He won’t respond to discussion.

@AJamesMcCarthy My generation is not impressed, because the advancements we saw in “2001 a space odyssey” should have happened by now. We watched Neil and Buzz already do this. This is… Yawn, at best for us. We should have space planes and a base on Mars by now.
English

If you don’t think going to the moon and back is impressive, take a look at this Artemis 2 trajectory to scale. Astronauts haven’t gone further than a couple “pixels” from Earth since the 70s (and it took half a million people and 4.6% of the federal budget to get them there)
Peter Hague@peterrhague
“Not to scale” is for quitters. I’m going to show people the actual Artemis 2 trajectory (work in progress, click to see the whole thing)
