@fesshole You must be about 200 by now!

On a plane on my 14th birthday so my parents let me have a party on the 12th of the next month. I liked having a little celebration and have made the 12th my "birthday" every month since. I get a slice of cheesecake and a big glass of port nowadays.

@fesshole I dont believe this is true. You must think I was Bourne yesterday.

I have a spy umbrella from a jumble sale with a hollow handle claimed to be for microfilm. Pretty sure it's tourist nonsense. But I wrote a suggestive invitation to myself on thin paper, signed it Natasha & stuck it in the handle. Makes me feel interesting holding it in the rain

@fesshole Grounds for divorce.

Wife's fess: she sits on the toilet drinking her morning coffee. She's a savage, right?

@JimCognito2016 I think you'll find that you went to Waitrose for "Chocolate Eggs". You're not allowed to say "Easter" any more.

Went to Waitrose for Easter eggs, noticed staff weren't wearing poppies "The poppy not good enough for you?" I asked. "It isn't the season" 1 replied "Isn't the season? ISN'T THE SEASON?! " I responded, incredulous "Patriotism doesn't have seasons" The whole queue applauded.

@Liv413n8928 @jahbulonz @defense_civil25 Why would they rape freeloaders?

@jahbulonz @defense_civil25 I don't consider Countries that have betrayed their own citizens by prioritizing raping freeloaders allies. That's Ike being friends with someone that's actively plotting to kill their own kids.

Every member of NATO refused the call to help the United States to restore freedom of navigation in the Strait of Hormuz. All of Them!!

@fesshole Never steal a clown's lunch. It tastes funny.

When I was a teenager I broke into a party clown's old rusty car because I was hungry and he'd left his lunch on the passenger seat. Poor guy was probably as hungry as I was.

@Simon_Ingari LinkedIn is that way, man!

"Why does our top performer get the worst reviews?" the boss asked. I was reviewing their annual performance data. "Show me," I said. She pulled up the ratings. Diana: 2.8 out of 5. Below average on "collaboration." Low marks for "team player." "What's her actual performance?" I asked. "Exceeded every target. Landed our biggest client. Trained three new hires." "So why the low scores?" "Her peer reviews are dragging her down." I scanned the comments. "Too direct." "Challenges ideas too much." "Not supportive enough." "Let me talk to Diana," I said. "I used to give honest feedback," Diana told me. "Said our pricing model was broken. Got dinged for 'negativity.'" "What happened with the pricing?" "They finally fixed it six months later. After we lost two major accounts." "What else?" "I questioned why we needed eleven approvals for a simple contract change. Manager said I wasn't being collaborative." "Are you still giving feedback?" "No. I learned my lesson. Now I smile. Nod. Say everything's great. My reviews are improving." "But nothing's actually improving?" "We're making the same mistakes. Just with better vibes." She chuckled. I went back to the boss. "Your review system doesn't measure performance," I said. "It measures compliance." "That's not true." "When was the last time someone got promoted for challenging bad ideas?" Silence. "When did someone get rewarded for preventing a mistake?" More silence. "You've trained your best people to stay quiet. And your mediocre people to stay nice." A few months later, they redesigned the system. Added a category: "Constructive Challenge." Points for identifying problems early. Rewards for preventing costly mistakes. Diana got promoted. "What changed?" I asked the boss. "We stopped confusing agreement with alignment. Stopped mistaking silence for harmony." "And?" "Turns out our 'difficult' people were our most valuable. They actually cared enough to speak up." Here's the truth about performance reviews: Most companies don't reward performance. They reward performance theater. The person who says the meeting was great beats the person who says it wasted an hour. The person who agrees with bad ideas beats the person who prevents disasters. You think you're measuring contribution. You're measuring conformity. And your best people? They've already figured out the game. They're just deciding whether to play it or find somewhere that values truth over comfort.

@grok @DeeBrownsghost @WarMonitor3 According to conventional military wisdom, what ratio of attackers to defenders is required to defeat and hold a hostile territory? Also how many specialised artic warfare troops does the US have?

@DeeBrownsghost @WarMonitor3 The US Army has ~454,000 active personnel in 2026. Based on diverse sources, 20-30% (~91,000-136,000) are in direct combat MOS like infantry and armor—far exceeding Denmark's ~15,000. Exact figures vary by definition.

The Royal Danish Army is preparing a rotational force of up to 1,000 soldiers for forward deployment to Denmark, alongside aircraft and naval assets from the Air Force and Navy.

@NatCitizen @LeonardDonalds @TheWangman_ @HansMahncke There is a 3rd option - They can be both stupid and willfully ignoring reality.

@LeonardDonalds @TheWangman_ @HansMahncke You people keep trying to translate the idiocies your leader says. No. He did not convey those words at all. You people are either stupid or willfully ignoring reality

First off, everyone losing their minds over President Trump’s message to the prime minister of Norway is leaving out a key detail: the prime minister contacted Trump first with a string of empty, feel good bromides about “standing together.” Trump’s response did not appear out of nowhere. It was a direct reply. Second, there is absolutely nothing wrong with Trump’s response. He correctly notes that Norway does not want him to get a Nobel Prize, then plainly explains a strategic reality: if Europe wants peace, it cannot allow China and Russia to gain a foothold in Greenland, and the only country capable of preventing that is the United States. That is entirely correct and reasonable. It’s ridiculous that Europe was more than happy to accept 81 years of free-of-charge American security guarantees, but the moment the United States needs land to maintain that protection, the answer suddenly becomes no.

@DrDickQueso @pdcjay @GreekAnalyst Your nuclear powered subs and aircraft carriers run on electricity.

@pdcjay @GreekAnalyst Energy doesn’t mean shit to a tank or aircraft. It’s fuel derived from oil. Weapons of war don’t run on electricity.

The amount of US soft power evaporating in Europe over the most unnecessary Greenland crisis is hard to fathom.

@piratecapt16 @tg31679 @TallbarFIN You started watching too much Fox news? Check out Taskmaster if you want some comedy.

@T4eUrbanGoose @tg31679 @TallbarFIN You guys used to have the best comedians in the world before you lost your dang minds and turned left at the nut house. I grew up watching Benny Hill and Monte Python. What happened?

Only American thing I use is X and Windows. Europe can live without McDonald's and Burger King, USA can't live without patented European pharmaceuticals and medical equipment.

@mariogg03 @ComenterT @AedmarSkyjarn @KimDotcom I know you didnt talk about sterotypes. I was referring to the sterotype of 50% of Americans being thick as shit and ignorant to boot.

@T4eUrbanGoose @ComenterT @AedmarSkyjarn @KimDotcom And again, that’s why we getting Greenland because it’s easier to be influenced by leftist governments in Europe. Europe is dead. And btw I never brought up any stereotype. It’s just facts. Europe has actually stopped going foward in technology and other sectors lmao DEAD

Help me understand. Isn’t Denmark a NATO member? So if Greenland is a part of Denmark an attack on Greenland by Russia or China is an attack against NATO and would trigger Article 5. So why does the US want Greenland? What Trump says doesn’t make sense. Help me understand.

@mariogg03 @ComenterT @AedmarSkyjarn @KimDotcom "It is easier to be betrayed by stupid people who elect other stupid people..." Amen to that.

@T4eUrbanGoose @ComenterT @AedmarSkyjarn @KimDotcom Ehhh it’s easier to get betrayed by stupid people who elect other stupid people who wish death on America and are closer. And we can still detect and intercept missiles from US ships lmao

@piratecapt16 @tg31679 @TallbarFIN Ffs. You guys are unbelievable. 🤣

@T4eUrbanGoose @tg31679 @TallbarFIN Nuh uh! Murican and British ain’t the same English. Ask for a fag here and you will get punched or perhaps worse.

@piratecapt16 @tg31679 @TallbarFIN You don't need the "Period" bit, it is covered by the full stop at the end of the sentence. (Your language was invented in Europe)

@T4eUrbanGoose @tg31679 @TallbarFIN TV was invented by Philo Farnesworth. In Murica. Period.

@mariogg03 @ComenterT @AedmarSkyjarn @KimDotcom Or the Chinese could just go across the Pacific... You're doing nothing to counter the stereotypes.

@T4eUrbanGoose @ComenterT @AedmarSkyjarn @KimDotcom You do get that for China to get to the us US they have to fly over Europe or around Europe. And Russia is in Europe lol??? Like this is common sense lmao

@piratecapt16 @tg31679 @TallbarFIN Ballpoint pens were created in Hungary, the phone was created by a Scotsman, the TV was created by another Scotsman, and German migrants took hotdogs with them to the US. I'm not saying the US hasn't invented anything of note, they clearly have. You should drop the jingoism.

@T4eUrbanGoose @tg31679 @TallbarFIN Flight, electricity, alternating current, TV, tv cameras, hamburgers, hot dogs, ball point pens, phones, Morse code, you know everything important.

@mariogg03 @ComenterT @AedmarSkyjarn @KimDotcom "Yall right next to...." It is 2,500 miles. You're as thick as you look and sound.

@T4eUrbanGoose @ComenterT @AedmarSkyjarn @KimDotcom Europe is in the middle get it?

@piratecapt16 @tg31679 @TallbarFIN Also.

@piratecapt16 @tg31679 @TallbarFIN So because you have checked for yourself and discovered that something of note was created in Paris (presumably France, not Paris Texas), you're sticking with your original point that only the US discovers anything of note? Thicker than a submarine's hatch (invented by US 🤣)
