To any friends who post here, I’m sorry but I’m leaving. I occasionally look at Facebook, so I hope I see you there. At some point I might find out how to "work" Bluesky, but I’m 82, so I don’t know if I’ll manage it.

@Matt_Pinner I got 3, and I’m not certain about at least one of them (floppy disc?). I only sent one fax, from work with lots of help from the office staff. Does that count?

I got 8 points,you?

@Manclee @wainsoc @WainwrightRocks @FORLancashire Love these; loved the place when we were there. But, we never found the "Old Man". Can anyone describe where it is in the picture? Many thanks in advance.

Stunning but chilly day on the #fells.Round 2 of the #214 & where it all began for me in 2015. #Coniston Old Man, Brim Fell, Swirl How & Great Carrs.Could have picked off two more if had the time 12/214. @wainsoc @WainwrightRocks #Wainwright #LakeDistrict #Cumbria @FORLancashire

@AriaPhoenix595 @Maga_Trigger Yep, already at bottom as of 1/6/20. This time reinforced as of 1/23/25.

@Maga_Trigger I just wanna know who the moron is who had enough stupidity to ask this question!

Show of ✋ if Donald Trump will go down as the worst President in US history!

@noisyimmigrant @mehdirhasan Have you considered how much worse off the Palestinians would be if Trump wins? He is Bibi’s double in this country. He is a total bigot.

@mehdirhasan Buy still vote Kamala, right?

There is literally no debate anymore - if there ever was! Dozens & dozens of Western medics, doctors & nurses, eyewitnesses, are saying Israel is targeting kids in Gaza, shooting them in the head, deliberately murdering them. These are some of the worst crimes of the 21st century

@1800tweets @dodd_isabell @Collect47 @CoffeewClassics There is that. It remains great, but the ending goes well beyond that.

@dodd_isabell @Collect47 @CoffeewClassics The only thing pulling down the opening line of Tale of Two Cities is that the ending is so phenomenal that I forget about it.

.@rephoulahan: The Biden Administration issued a new rule capping credit cards late fees at $8. This will save ordinary folks $10 billion/year! Republicans are trying to roll back the rule. Why? You're my Rep. Please #StopJunkFees and vote NO on H.J. Res. 122!

@Rocky13Billie @JoeMaristela @tribelaw Sorry, you have swallowed thousands of total lies. Your sources are mostly Russian propaganda and psychotic people.

@JoeMaristela @tribelaw You mean like they did with hunters case. Delay and stahl. Only difference is hunter was guilty and so is joe. And all yall been doing for 7 years is lie lie lie about Trump. That TDS is winning

“Here is what is crystal clear. If the Court waits until the end of its session in June to decide the case, there is little chance for a trial to complete before the election. If the Court sends the case back to the lower courts, there is no chance. We will know that we have a Supreme Court majority who think that preserving the power of a future president who aims to be a dictator is more important than giving the people the information we need to make an existential choice as voters.” And that will leave us with “but one solution. Elect a president and a Congress that are committed to changing the Court before it’s too late.” salon.com/2024/04/26/sco…

@mimimac318 @JoeMaristela @tribelaw Congress has spent ridiculous amounts of time trying to impeach him and couldn’t find anything. If there is anything it is continuing to give arms to Israel after the scale of the horrific overreaction to 10/7 became apparent. But that could have been to keep influence.

@JoeMaristela @tribelaw Biden is never held accountable for his criminal actions….. he was found too senile to hold accountable, people in glass houses shouldn’t throw stones

@JoeMaristela @tribelaw I say this because Roberts does seem to have a bit of shame and desire to preserve his legacy with respectable colleagues. However, I also get the feeling he's happy to promote a far-right, anti-democratic agenda as long as he's not too out-front on it. 3/

@JoeMaristela @tribelaw ... they've let us know their intentions. Maybe Roberts won't go along with it this time, but I'll bet he's more in sympathy than we would like and may subtly cooperate in the slow erosion of checks on executive power. 2/

@JoeMaristela @tribelaw I think it was Liz Cheney who just commented on the craziness of waiting until after the next election to try the guy who tried to steal the last one. They know exactly what they're doing. They've failed us. Even if the right-wing justices don't prevail this time ... 1/

@HiblerDana @thejackhopkins That’s just it! FOX, aka Faux Noise, has an enormous amount to answer for.

While I was finishing dinner earlier, a friend I used to have popped into my mind. He was a Department of Homeland Security guy. When I made my exit from the Republican party I wasn’t quiet about it. The degree to which he defended Trump was shocking. My friend was a bright guy. But, it was clear…he’d gone all in on Trump. I didn’t have room for that. None. We haven’t had contact in about five years. I don’t mourn the loss of the friendship. I detest the fact that I know there are more like him.

BREAKING: MAGA Congressman Matt Gaetz gets slammed with bad news as his underaged sex trafficking investigation jolts back to life according to new reporting from CNN. Gaetz thought he was in the clear but he could be going down hard after all... At least one witness was recently contacted by investigators looking to schedule an interview as part of the House Ethics Committee's ongoing probe into the allegations leveled against Gaetz of sexual misconduct and misuse of funds. This sudden request is the first indication of progress in the inquiry since July, when several witnesses were contacted to provide interviews and documentation. The witness, who was contacted last Thursday, was informed that the committee's chairman Republican Representative Michael Guest and ranking Democratic member Representative Susan Wild "have authorized staff to conduct an interview.” Gaetz, a noted shameless liar, has denied the allegations. Please retweet and ❤️ if you think that Matt Gaetz is guilty — and consider joining the growing exodus to Tribel, a new pro-democracy social network that is exploding in popularity because Twitter and Facebook are trying to stop its growth — which is only making Tribel grow even faster.

The man who, as president, incited a violent attack on the Capitol to overturn an election is again openly fomenting political violence while explicitly endorsing authoritarian strategies should he return to power. That is the story of the 2024 election. Everything else is just window dressing. nytimes.com/2023/11/22/opi…

@tribelaw Trump crimes were proven on record when he left office. Many others not prosecuted. Fear of "looking political" makes Justice political. America deserves better.

First they came for the socialists, and I did not speak out—because I was not a socialist. Then they came for the trade unionists, and I did not speak out—because I was not a trade unionist. Then they came for the Jews, and I did not speak out—because I was not a Jew. Then they came for me—and there was no one left to speak for me. —Martin Niemöller

BREAKING: Just one day after being slapped with a $10,000 fine for attacking the judge overseeing his New York fraud trial, Donald Trump AGAIN launches an attack against the judge on Truth Social. In his unhinged post, Trump declared, “The Judge in the New York State case refuses to accept the overturning of his decisions by the Appeals Court. This is a first in the history of the State! HE HAS GONE CRAZY IN HIS HATRED OF “TRUMP.” Also, their “STAR” witness just admitted his statements were all a big lie. He broke down in court. The Radical Left Judge said he doesn’t care. He is trying to protect RACIST A.G. Letitia James, who has no case, lost the appeal, but has a tyrannical and unhinged Trump Hating Judge. She campaigned for A.G. on, “I Will Get Trump,” long before she knew anything about me. This is Judicial Misconduct, coupled with Prosecutorial Misconduct, and somebody from the State of New York must step in and stop this Complete & Total Miscarriage of Justice!” This is NOT good for Trump, because Judge Engoron warned him yesterday that “the consequences will be even more severe” for him if he continues to attack him — and Trump just did exactly that. Now, Judge Engoron has all he needs to teach Trump a BIG lesson by throwing him in jail in order to cut off his access to social media and stop him from tainting his case. Please retweet and ❤️ if you think that Judge Engoron MUST throw Trump in jail — and consider joining the growing exodus to Tribel, a woke new Twitter competitor that banned Trump for life and is exploding in popularity because Elon Musk banned Tribel’s Twitter account — but he forgot to ban this link to download the new Tribel app: tribel.app.link/okwPIHYCIqb
