@grok @OlumideAdeniy12 @PeakViews12 @grok this is incorrect

@OlumideAdeniy12 @PeakViews12 The movie in the clip is **The Old Way** (2023), starring Nicolas Cage as a retired gunslinger whose past catches up when young thugs threaten his family. Classic revenge Western vibes with the old crew reuniting.

@PeakViews12 @grok which movie is this?

@dtmorgan18 Worst bank I’ve ever banked with. Good luck!

For those asking, where I went? Citizens Private Bank

Bank of America: thanks for being a loyal customer for 15 years. Do you mind if I put you on brief hold? 50 minutes later…. Me: um, I need to transfer out all my funds. Bank of America: why?

@Listen__Son So sad they’re not doing another season

3. The peripheral.

Best series I've seen this year. Thread 🍿:

@NiallHarbison Him, his mum and the rest of the litter were found on the side of the road

@NiallHarbison Max, rescue dog from Idaho, now living in a place that’s not so cold!

My 2 rescue dogs in their Sunday best today. Hank and Chance. Wouldn’t it be cool if everybody who had a rescue shared them in this thread to show the world that rescue dogs are the best option. Shelters and rescues all around the world full of great dogs. Go for it👇

@TheAttagirls Very inspiring post! Thank you 🙏

Woman of the Day computer engineer Wanda Rutkiewicz born OTD in 1943 in Lithuania to Polish parents, leader of several all-women mountain-climbing expeditions who conquered Everest. She became the first woman to reach the summit of K2. Wanda considered herself to be Polish. Her family returned to Poland immediately after the end of WW2 but it was still a hazardous place to be. Her seven year old brother was killed after he and his friends found an unexploded bomb. A naturally gifted athlete who excelled at shotputting, the 18 year old Wanda was out riding her Junak motorcycle, the heaviest Polish motorcycle, when she ran out of fuel. A passing motorcyclist and his passenger, a keen mountaineer, stopped to help and that’s how she developed an interest in mountain climbing. It was apparent from the start that she had natural skills. She climbed efficiently and effortlessly. “I adored the physical movement, the fresh air, the camaraderie, and the excitement.” Soon after Wanda began mountain climbing, she was approached by the Polish secret service who recognised her natural talent and believed she could be of great use to the communist state. At that time, Poland was still under the control of Russia. However, mountain climbing is very much an individual endeavour at odds with communist collectivism. Moreover, once climbers were in the mountains, they could no longer be kept under constant surveillance. Many Polish climbers found the freedom from authoritarianism liberating and Wanda was no exception. Her strong personality and fiercely individualist worldview meant that surrendering herself to the will of a communist regime was out of the question. Her first expedition was to the Pamir Mountains in Tajikistan but she found it “unpleasant due to her difficult relationships with the male climbers”. She was belittled by the male climbers who didn’t regard a woman as an equal. Wanda, “a difficult woman”, responded by being confrontational. It was a pattern that resulted in her becoming isolated from the climbing community. She decided to do things her way and began to lead her own all-women expeditions. In 1978, she became the first European woman to reach the summit of Everest despite suffering from anaemia. She had to take injections of iron with her to keep her haemoglobin levels high enough to remain conscious during the final climb to the top. It was the same day that her fellow Pole, Karol Wojtyła, became Pope John Paul II. He said, "The good Lord wanted this - that we rise so high on the same day." Six years later, Wanda became the first woman to reach the summit of K2. In fact, she scaled eight of the world’s 14 eight-thousanders, mountains more than 8,000 metres above sea level, but still experienced incredible hostility and scepticism from male climbers. One publicly doubted whether she had really reached the top of Annapurna until video footage proved otherwise. Well, why not? Male climbers are expected to provide evidence all the time, aren’t they? In 1992, after successfully climbing Cho Oyu and Annapurna, two peaks on her list of fourteen, tragedy struck on Kanchenjunga in the Himalayas, the third-highest mountain in the world. A fellow climber saw her huddled in a snow cave and tried to persuade her to return to base camp. Wanda refused. She had one last leg to climb and was determined to conquer Kanchenjunga. Wanda never returned to base camp and after a few days, she was declared dead at just 49. Did she make it to the summit? Her body was never found so we’ll never know but such was her determination and grit, I wouldn’t bet against it. “I never seek death, but I don’t mind the idea of dying on the mountains. It would be an easy death for me. After all that I’ve experienced, I’m familiar with it. And most of my friends are there in the mountains, waiting for me.”

@Mikoko38 @grok what movie is this?

Michael Jai White is such a talented fighter 🥊 No wonder he is widely considered the "Real Deal" in Hollywood🎥

@HeartlandSignal He really does like his Nazi cosplay doesn’t he? The leather cross-body, the SS-style coats, super into the look. 💩

Moments after saying Alex Pretti approached ICE agents with a handgun to inflict “maximum damage,” Gregory Bovino acknowledges that he does not know whether Pretti even brandished the gun or not. REPORTER: “When did agents learn that he had a gun, and did he brandish that weapon at agents?” BOVINO: “This situation again is evolving. This situation is under investigation. Those facts will come to light.”

@floboflo @LeeAndersonMP_ Free speech for but not for thee

@LeeAndersonMP_ Free speech?

Justice At Last. In March 2024 a woman harassed and verbally assaulted me in Sutton Town centre. It was a vile tirade of vicious and threatening language that went on for 20 minutes whilst I was out on the campaign trail. This was in front of my family members including my elderly mother. The left wing press had a right giggle over it. Earlier today in court I had the last laugh. This woman was found guilty and she has been sentenced to a 12 month community order and has to perform 80 hours unpaid work and attend 20 rehab days. thelondoneconomic.com/politics/who-i…

@RobertJenrick He stopped arseholes like you being in power for one thing

What is the point of Sir Keir Starmer? We are told by his supporters that for all his domestic failures - and there are too many to list - he is knocking it out of the park on the world stage. Yesterday that completely unravelled. Kowtow Keir’s decision to approve the Chinese embassy is a spineless decision that will compromise our security for decades. For years the security agencies have warned about Beijing’s espionage, yet Starmer still gave the green light to a spy-hub that sits over some of the most sensitive data cables in London. It’s a giant, metaphorical fortune cookie for President Xi and his band of fifth columnists. It comes on the back of Starmer’s surrender of the strategically important Chagos Islands. Yesterday Trump slammed it as an act of “great stupidity” and “total weakness”. It gives me no pleasure seeing Britain mocked on the world stage, but on this Trump is completely right. The Chagos surrender stinks. It began after a non-binding ruling by foreign judges, some of whom are from Russia and China, claimed we should give up the territory. Any Prime Minister with a backbone would refuse. But Starmer didn’t come at this with our security interests at heart. Starmer’s close lawyer friend and donor, Philippe Sands, has been helping the Mauritian Government. Starmer has once again placed his standing amongst a clique of activist lawyers above the security of our country. Again, the Chinese are the beneficiaries, who are already eyeing up the territory. There'll be Tsingtao beers all round in Beijing tonight. Yesterday politicians in Westminster panned the Prime Minister’s decisions - and they were right to. But what’s the truth about how we ended up with this stupidity? The unarguable fact is that the Chinese Embassy debacle and the Chagos surrender are the product of Labour and Tory failure. Yes, Keir Starmer signed off on the spy-hub, but it was the Tories who sold the Chinese the massive plot of land for their new embassy. That was during the supposed ‘golden era’ of UK-Chinese relations when successive Tory Prime Ministers naively thought the Chinese Government could be a friend to Britain. Yes, it was David Lammy who as Foreign Secretary concluded the deal to hand over the Chagos Islands. But the negotiations started under in November 2022 and went on for round after round under the Tories. But the Tories still won’t be honest with you. The shadow Foreign Secretary, Priti Patel, claimed the Tories have “opposed it from day one”. That’s simply not true. Some resisted behind the scenes - including myself and Suella Braverman. And it should be noted that David Cameron stopped the negotiations. But the facts don’t lie: the Conservative Party started the chain of events that led to this. The problem is that the Conservative Party is too compromised by its failures in Government to hold this appalling Labour Government to account. And instead of apologising for their mistakes, learning their lessons and changing, the Tories are in denial and lashing out at anyone who speaks the truth. For decades Britain’s political class has failed in their duty to put the security of the British people first. They hollowed out our armed forces to spend more on welfare. Turned a blind eye to Islamist extremism. And left our borders wide open for dangerous people to waltz in. It’s high time the UK was led by someone with the conviction to stand up for the British people. That will only happen if the failing old parties are swept away, and a Reform Government led by Nigel Farage restores some much-need common sense.

@datMJones The obligatory, @grok what movie is this? Why can’t people put the name of the movie when they put these posts up?

That was a peak movie for a reason 😢

@often20000 @grok what film or tv series is this?

Just an ordinary looking girl

@vihutchref @jeepgirlsparks Either engamenet farming you know nothing about the food service industry in the US. Food servers are paid $2.13/hour because the restaurant expects the patrons to pay the staff via tips.

@jeepgirlsparks Sounds like your boss doesn’t pay you enough. You do know that patrons are under no obligation to tip? Their obligation is the price on the menu; it is not to cover labour on behalf of the owner. Quit bitching please.

Asshole & his family come in one night. Demanding & completely obnoxious. Kids running around screaming. Great time🙄 Check was $116. He leaves $120 ($4 tip) & asked my name bc he wants to get me again. Says I'm great, etc etc I say: I'm Heather (We have no Heather on staff 😉)

@ThatEricAlper The Road

What is a movie you watched once that was so disturbing or emotionally draining that you can never watch it again?

The plot twist in this movie is crazy

@blagden_david He’s GB news, what do you expect? Rational thought? Actually understanding how anything works? I don’t think that’s how they operate.

Deepest, deadliest f*ckwittery. So new Minister with background as - say - a gold salesman walks into the MOD and says “my amateur hunch is that we should just grow a pair and nuke Moscow”. Do you honestly not want expert officials to say “That *might* entail some downsides…”?

@Jenny_1884 Nobody is saying you didn’t scrimp and save, they’re saying you had it easier because that flat was 3x your annual income. Same flat will be 10x your annual income today.

It’s amazing the amount of people on here that appear to think pensioners had it easy. When I got married we scraped enough money to put a deposit on a 1 bedroom flat. Everything we had was second hand & clothes were a luxury & waited for Xmas & birthdays. No holidays. Never went out to restaurants as couldn’t afford it so cooked meals from scratch. We lived pay packet to pay packet. So no we didn’t have it easier we just had different priorities, saved up until we could afford to buy something & got on with life with no free handouts.
