@Jeremybtc Do you know why the Yankees always win?

A man invented a $2.5 MILLION crime spree, sold it to Hollywood and charged $30,000 per speech to explain how he did it. It was all lies. > Frank Abagnale claimed he spent 5 years as a teenage fugitive. > Impersonating a Pan Am pilot, a Harvard trained doctor and a Louisiana attorney general while forging $2.5 MILLION in bad checks across 26 countries. > Steven Spielberg turned it into a 2002 blockbuster starring Leonardo DiCaprio and Tom Hanks. > It became one of the highest grossing films of that year. > Broadway turned it into a musical. > The FBI hired him as a consultant. > AARP named him their official Fraud Watch Ambassador. > He charged between $20,000 and $30,000 per speaking engagement for decades telling audiences how he pulled it all off. > For 40 years nobody seriously questioned any of it. > Then in 2020 a journalist named Alan Logan spent three years pulling every public record prison document newspaper archive and court file he could find. > Pan Am's own security department told a journalist as early as 1978 "This never happened. You don't forget $2.5 MILLION in bad checks." > Prison records showed Abagnale was behind bars for most of the years he claimed to be a fugitive. > The Georgia hospital had no record of him. > The Louisiana attorney general's office had no record of him. > His only confirmed crime was check fraud totalling less than $1,500. > Logan's conclusion the entire story was not embellished but fabricated. > Abagnale had not committed the con by impersonating pilots and doctors. > He committed it by convincing Hollywood, the FBI and the entire world that he had. The most valuable skill Frank Abagnale ever had was the ability to make people so entertained by a story that they forgot to verify it. That skill made him MILLIONS legally.

One of the most extraordinary graphs I have ever seen.

and my girl got that 1%

@DearS_o_n Needed this today 🙏

@GoodwinMJ Asif no one seen this coming? Should have acknowledged it before the event not after. Bunch of cowards and shit houses!

Statement: “We are losing our country. A dangerous Muslim sectarianism has emerged. We have only one general election left to save Britain. Vote Reform every chance you get. I will continue the fight. I will always fight for you. I will stand at the next general election. Matt.”

@Saskiateague @cfdownes_ Its called Anemoia.

@cfdownes_ These photos make me feel homesick for something I've never experienced. It would be a beautiful thing to get our country back to this. I think we can do it.

The best propaganda we have is literally just showing people what this country used to be like.

Every retweet of this post will equal a dollar given to children with Leukemia.

@elonmusk Please fund a new UK political party & save us. @elonmusk

Any government that puts the rights of fake “asylum seekers” above their own children being brutally raped or killed is psychotically evil and utterly illegitimate!

@GBPolitcs @thetimes The traitor is going to see his master.

🚨NEW: Analysis shows that China has established over 75 covert influence outposts across Britain, spread between universities, businesses and diaspora groups This information comes ahead of Kier Starmer’s visit to Beijing this week [@thetimes]

@fesshole You sound like a retard. Your mother should have swallowed you.

I'm haunted by the realisation that, although my parents died just before the referendum, they both would have voted Leave. It's unfairly tainted my memory of them. That last decade parroting Daily Mail headlines. I'm so angry at those who poison the thoughts of good people.

@GBPolitcs Reform have fucked it this year taking everyone else's defectors. People who were so shit last time their morals change over night to join a new party.

🚨POLL: Of the options available below, who are you most likely to vote for?

@fesshole Your wife should do the voting.

My wife doesn't follow politics at all and every election asks who I'm voting for so she can vote the same. We both vote Green. Knowing her opinions on certain matters I'm fairly certain that if she followed any of the goings on, she'd vote Reform

@RachelK01840150 @UKLabour This is perfect, absolutely perfect. 💀

Together, we can achieve a Britain built for all.

@EdwardJDavey Shut the fuck up you professional muppet.

Elon Musk is no friend of our United Kingdom. He should be held to account for allowing truly vile and illegal child abuse content on his platform.

@adalluch God bless, happy birthday 🎂

This little fascist, sexist and xenophobe girl (according to the Spanish media) is turning 26 today! 🥳

@Ed_Miliband You are an absolute divvy. The situation with labour atm would be hilarious if it wasn't so fucking tragic.

Angela Rayner is one of the great British political figures of our time. Generations will grow up with stronger rights at work and in new homes because of her vision and leadership. I know she will continue to stand at the front of the fight for social justice in this country.

@Matt_Pinner Gotten sick? Never. Tested positive twice. Most i had was shivers for 1 night and muscular pain for around 5 days. Especially the lower back.

If you are unvaccinated, how many times have you gotten sick with Covid?

@anon_opin What a sad little life Jane.

The world would be an infinitely better place if every single person who feels the need to drink a pint of lager at the airport before 8am was instantly vapourised.

@Richyri81393294 @anon_opin Correct.

@anon_opin It should be ‘brought forward’ Pushed implies later

If I have a meeting at 3pm and it's "pushed forward" by an hour, then the new time of the meeting is 2pm. Not 4pm. 2pm. Baffles me how so many don't understand this.
