4 people are flying around that Moon today. The first since 1972, and the first-ever with digital cameras, to see better into the dark craters and textures. The crew will have perfect quiet when the Moon blocks out Earth - a time of peace, alone, together. @NASA @csa_asc

All you euro trash high fiving each other and holding each other’s dicks, all of you together couldn’t handle the 82nd or the 10th mountain. Some of you helped once but your current shit talking is old. Which of you ever served in any of those countries military? Talk your shit armchair general. Yes, you are free today due to the USA. Whether you admit or not, you live under the protection we provide. Now, you will be on your own and good luck. Spoiled, ungrateful and churlish. Your grandparents fought to be free, but you accept surrender willingly. Sorta Vichy like to the muslims. Will you asshats ever learn?

Let me explain something to the MAGA crowd, because clearly someone needs to. They seem to think NATO is cosmic room service. You pick up the phone, say “hello, we’re having a bit of a war here,” and thirty-one countries march to your rescue. A continental Uber for military adventures. That is not how it works. Article 5 is a mutual defense clause. The clue is in the word mutual. And it has been triggered exactly once in NATO’s entire history. After September 11. When America was attacked. Not Europe. America. Every NATO member showed up. They went to Afghanistan. They fought. They bled. They died. In America’s war. On America’s behalf. Now imagine they hadn’t. Over 1,100 allied soldiers died in Afghanistan. British, Canadian, German, Danish, Polish. And yes, even Ukrainian soldiers, who had no NATO obligation whatsoever. Gone. Without them, those are American names on those graves. Sons from Ohio. Fathers from Georgia. Kids from Nebraska who never came home. Then there is the money. NATO allies spent over 100 billion dollars on a war that started on American soil. Without that, Washington pays every cent. On top of the 2 to 3 trillion the war already cost. And without allied bases across Europe and Central Asia, American supply lines collapse entirely. Without British forces in Helmand and Canadians in Kandahar, the Taliban reconstitutes in three years instead of ten. The gaps get filled one way. More American deployments. More American coffins arriving at Dover. Afghanistan was bloody. But NATO took the hit. Without them, every single one of those casualties would have had an American name. Trump called allies like these losers. Suckers. If you are a certain kind of broken person, that probably makes sense to you. But for the rest of us, what those soldiers did has a different name. Honor. The bond between men who have been in the same dirt, under the same fire. Between Brits and Americans, Frenchmen and Norwegians, Canadians and Danes. Not a diplomatic relationship. A blood bond. Brotherhood forged in places most people will never see and cannot imagine. In that culture, you do not mock a fallen ally. You do not sneer at the dead. It is the lowest thing a human being can do. Trump did it to a standing ovation. If you are a MAGA supporter travelling to NATO countries, understand this. There are no friendly pats on the back waiting for you. No one will buy you a beer. The governments who share your worldview sit in Minsk, Moscow and Pyongyang. Brutal dictatorships where journalists disappear, elections are theatre and dissent is a medical condition treated in basements. Not London. Not Paris. Not Rome, Stockholm, Copenhagen, Berlin or Ottawa. You have abandoned the open societies, the free press, the rule of law, the places where people actually want to live. You traded the best of civilization for a very small, very dark room. Frankly, it serves you right.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​ Gandalv / @Microinteracti1

I don't understand why those girls are acting that oblivious to the situation. I mean what happened, it's disgusting. But there is an extreme lack of awareness on part of the girls being attacked. Don't run near a train. That's just common sense and basic instinct for most adults. So these girls are lacking basic spatial awareness, even before you get to the obviously hostile attackers that they are not properly addressing. There were several obvious attempts by the attsckerd to appear innocent while attacking the girls walking by. But it happened so many times and no one appeared to notice. Even the girls. Even the girls who got hit. Maybe they assumed it was unintentional. Idk it's a really weird scene. Just too many successfully executed "unintentional" strikes in such a short time. And no one responds. I'm not sure it could even be so well executed if intentional. But the population needs to be hardened. Thede girls were never given any fight training. They don't know how to stand or walk in a hostile environment. They have never been tought to respect dangerous areas when it comes to running. So they were neglected. In how they were raised. Walk on the side furthest the train. Slow down or stop to hold your ground against oncommers who are not giving you space. Trying to continue running to the tain when there is someone obviously blocking you and then taking the train side path is stupid. Stand ground. Walk in groups. People need to not ignore their surroundings. But I hope every single attacker does or did jail time. They deserve worse. Far worse. Because people like that have no empathy and won't change. But my guess is they walked without so much as a stern look though. Just s disgusting sequence of events. One I wish I didn't have to see. I hope the girl got out okay. I've seen cases where they were not so lucky.

@dionnewarwick When my mom passed in 2021, whenever a Dionne Warwick song would come on Sirus/XM I just cry thinking about her. My mom loved your music and “Walk On By” just brings back memories of my mom playing it on a 45 record.

Interested to see how the Brisbane 2032 Olympics are going to handle this considering the Australian Human Rights Commission is adamant that men who think they’re women are women to the point of needing pregnancy protections in law.

@DreyfusJames @RosieDuffield1 I don’t watch the BBC or broadcast television now. Is mostly banal clap trap. I would watch a documentary about Spike and the goons though. I’ve loved him since I read Badjelly the Witch as a small child.

A Tory canvasser knocked on my door this week. I told him I'm a lifelong Labour voter who now despises the party. He looked startled. 'You're the second one in this street.' It's because of women like Harriet Harman, who had the nerve to speak about Jenni Murray on @BBCr4today

Terrible, tragic news. She was the best. Treated really badly by the BBC after she dared to speak out about you know what. She was absolutely disgusted with the powers that be. Maybe it will all come out now. Jenni was a true journalist, no one quite like her.
Joan Smith@polblonde

This is so sad. I always enjoyed talking to Jenni. A huge loss to @BBCWomansHour BBC News - Dame Jenni Murray, former BBC Woman's Hour presenter, dies at 75 bbc.co.uk/news/articles/…

Hi @BBCWomensHour Today’s piece on misogyny was a classic example of misogyny. You interviewed a cross dressing man on a topic about which he is not qualified to speak. Why didn’t any woman involved with WH call it out for what it really was? You’re cowardice shames you all
