Went out to Cullinan Park this morning. The water level was really low so I was limited a bit on what I saw. Did see a nice family of Black Bellied Whistling Ducks though.

@sentdefender Bombs away

Iran has rejected a proposal to open the Strait of Hormuz in exchange for a temporary ceasefire, while telling mediators from Turkey, Egypt and Pakistan that it is unwilling to meet American officials in Islamabad in the coming days and considers U.S. demands to end the war unacceptable, officials tell The Wall Street Journal.

@Kasekisai_T Does everyone over there have the exact same rice cooker? Is mine too fancy?

言語の壁が無くなった今こそ、炊飯器ホットケーキを広めるべきなのでは？ 外側カリッと中はフワッとしてて材料入れてスイッチ押すだけで出来てお手軽だから俺は好きなんだよね〜😆

@Hitchslap1 I thought communist was a slur…

We need a slur for communists.

@Locus_Solus3303 Looks tasty!

Hey everyone in America, did you know? In my country, Japan, we have this incredibly addictive dish called "niku-maki onigiri," which is rice balls wrapped in thinly sliced ​​beef and then sweet-teriyaki-glazed Eat it with a beer, and you'll be on a direct path to heaven

@nikutaberuru We live near Houston so we are Astros fans.

@timsoret Glad you get it. Hopefully Europe wakes up before it’s too late.

As a European, I apologize to Americans for all the idiocy coming from our side. You save your pilots no matter the cost. You send humans to the moon. You fight authoritarianism head-on. It's truly inspiring. We're on the wrong side of the moral equation.

@tanomuzeA Nope

急に、Xの日米交流なくなった気がしませんか？

@OilandEnergy The days of polite language is over. It got us nothing but a fat debt paying for our “allies”. Speak plainly and vulgar if necessary. But more importantly, get the problem solved once and for all.

This is no language for a President.

@Khamenei_fa STFU! You’re dead.

سیلی پشت سیلی... #تکرار_طبس

@BernieSanders Why? The horrible regime of the mullahs are on the ropes. Finish them!

One month after starting the war in Iran, this is the statement of the President of the United States on Easter Sunday. These are the ravings of a dangerous and mentally unbalanced individual. Congress has got to act NOW. End this war.

@piersmorgan @realDonaldTrump Nah. He’s sending a message they need to understand. They’re used to dealing with weak leaders like Biden and Obama. They time for fucking around is over. Now they are finding out.

This is embarrassing, Delete it, President ⁦@realDonaldTrump⁩ - unless you want everyone to think you’ve lost your marbles.

My message here clearly struck a nerve. A few friends from when I was press secretary, domestically and abroad, don’t like what I said. Instead of seeing how Western European nations must change, they just want to attack Trump. The reason it struck a nerve is because they recognize that this time NATO nations are being held to account. They know they’ve come up short for decades and by denying us overflight rights, they’ve gone too far. Americans are fed up, especially with France and Spain. Trump won’t stand for it and they know it. They now fear the consequences of their inaction. The UK, unlike its days under Thatcher or Blair, is wishy-washy. They’ve often been a good allie, but this time they want to sit it out and have it both ways. We can use their bases, but only for limited operations. At least the UK spends real money on defense. France, Spain, and Italy are another story. So too is Canada. None of these four contribute seriously to NATO. They’re laggards, trying to get away with it. Spain and France force our pilots to fly thousands of miles out of the way (I thought they didn’t like carbon footprints) en route to Iran. Eastern Europe is a different story. They spend more on defense and they understand power. They lived under Soviet domination and recognize weakness when they see it. They won’t be weak. Western European governments, especially France, are good at issuing communiques and statements. They enjoy hosting conferences. They love to ponder deeply. Getting them to act is another matter, unless it’s to purchase Russian LNG, which they still do. The world is changing. Out of this war will come a new group of younger nations that understand real power and the importance of strength. The UAE, Kuwait, Saudi Arabia, Israel and Eastern Europe will emerge stronger than ever. Western Europe will continue to fall behind. As for Trump, you don’t have to like him. He often says things none of his predecessors would say. But don’t underestimate the fact that US taxpayers are fed up with nations that don’t pull their weight, and then force our pilots to take risks and longer flights so we can rid the world from the menace that is Iran. Today’s Western European leaders would rather mollify Iran and pay them ransoms (trade) than support the US. Things are different today. We all know it. The UK, France, Spain and Italy (despite its Prime Minister) have earned the consequences that will unfold. They could have and should have supported us. Not as a NATO alliance. But as individual free nations. All we wanted was overflight rights and full access to airfields. They’ve made their choices. Soon, they’ll see the results.

@hajime20250823 Cook your own.

テキサス在住中は、テキサスロードハウスのサーロインステーキばかり食べていた私ですが、舌が肥えてくるとワンランク上のステーキが食べたくなりました。次に私が選んだお店はソルトグラスというステーキハウスです。大人気のティーボーンステーキを頼み肉の柔らかさと上質な油のトリコになりました。

@learning_yohei I’m a real person. I own my comments and opinions.

日本からこんにちは🇯🇵😄アメリカ人に質問があります🇺🇸どうして多くのアメリカ人はツイッターのアイコンに自分の顔写真を使うのですか？日本人はアイコンに自分の顔写真はあまり使いません🇯🇵🫣

@Tener_president I’m about as anti PC, anti liberal as you can get, and Trump is doing EXACTLY what I voted for. I’d argue he could be doing even more.

「反ポリコレ反リベラルでトランプを持ち上げてたけど、あまりにもトランプがやばすぎたので、トランプ支持を今になって後悔してる」みたいな人が最近Twitterでも散見されるようになったけど、僕はここ数年でむしろ逆にますますトランプ政権への好感度が上がった側の人間なので彼らに全く共感できない

@h2av8tor @visegrad24 It’s about time. Been waiting for this since 1979.

@visegrad24 The Iranian regime still has not learned that dealing with Trump is not the same as dealing with Obama or Biden. For whatever reason, they still believe they can string Trump along with a combination of threats and promises. They cannot.

Trump: "Tuesday will be Power Plant Day, and Bridge Day, all wrapped up in one, in Iran. There will be nothing like it!!! Open the Fuckin’ Strait, you crazy bastards, or you’ll be living in Hell - JUST WATCH! Praise be to Allah."

@EthanLevins2 You had a ridiculous take. You should delete that post.
