I would like to offer to pay the salaries of TSA personnel during this funding impasse that is negatively affecting the lives of so many Americans at airports throughout the country

Some stand with Israel because it's in the Bible. Some stand with Israel because they're reasonable. Some stand with Israel because they're just. Some stand with Israel because they're against terrorism. If you stand with Israel, for whatever reason, thank you ❤️🇮🇱

Everyone is saying Cadbury's chocolate which was bought by the Americans now tastes like crap and they won't buy it. Do you agree?

May 16, 1963. Gordon Cooper was orbiting Earth alone inside a capsule barely big enough to turn around in, moving at 17,500 miles per hour. He had been up there for over a day. Then the warnings started. First a faulty sensor screaming that the ship was falling — it wasn't. He switched it off. Then something far worse: a short circuit knocked out the entire automated guidance system. The one that kept the capsule steady. The one that was supposed to bring him home. Without it, reentry was nearly impossible. Too shallow an angle and the capsule would bounce off the atmosphere back into space. Too steep and it would incinerate. The margin for error was razor thin — and every computer that was supposed to hit that margin was dead. Down on the ground, NASA engineers watched the telemetry in silence. They could see everything going wrong. They could fix nothing. Cooper didn't panic. He uncapped a grease pencil and drew lines directly on the inside of his window to track the horizon. He looked up at the stars he had spent months memorizing and used their positions to orient the ship by eye. Then he set his wristwatch. Because when you have no computers left, you become the computer. At exactly the right moment — calculated in his head, confirmed by the stars outside — he fired the retrorockets. The capsule shook. The sky turned to fire. For several minutes, no one on Earth could reach him as plasma swallowed the ship whole. Then the parachutes opened. Faith 7 hit the water just four miles from the recovery ship — the single most accurate splashdown in the entire Mercury program. The man with a wristwatch and a few pencil marks on a window had outperformed every automated system NASA had. We talk a lot about technology saving us. And it often does. But Cooper's story is a quiet reminder that behind every machine, there still has to be a human being who can look out the window, think clearly under pressure, and decide what to do next. The final backup was never the software. It was him.

Iran executed the 19-year-old champion, Saleh Mohammadi for protesting the Khamenei regime. Nothing from Greta Thunberg, Gary Lineker, Charlotte Church, sectarian Muslim politicians. No hunger strikes on University campuses. Where have all the “human rights” activists gone?

@PostOffice @DVLAgovuk Hi both, anyone explain why customers can only get an IDP from a suitably set-up @PayPoint device please? I need to complete a 22-mile round trip because the post office no longer does them. What is my chance of success at my closest pay point?

All five members of the Working Group tasked with drafting the Government’s Islamophobia definition — now repackaged as “anti-Muslim hostility” — have troubling links to Islamist organisations. This shocking revelation is exposed by FSU Director of Policy and Research @DavidRoseUK in his latest investigative briefing. It begs the question: who on earth will be our new Islamophobia tsar? Read David’s briefing below 👇

@Osinttechnical Bullshit. Nobody questioning the “stick” coming out of its tailpipe? The whole airframe is hot? All of it? And no exhaust plume? Do we really believe the most advanced stealth fighter ITW gets hot skin that Iranian Radio Shack IR sensors could find?
