real life is far stranger than fiction so I'm trying to write fiction that is strange enough to be believable.

@TrumpGirlOnFire Because the world has forgotten what an alpha male who can’t be bought looks like.

@Turbinetraveler Spare toilet rolls for the USS Abraham Lincoln?

@EricLDaugh Not so much pressure - rather he’s made such a bloody awful mess of it that governments have no choice if they’re going to try to stop the worst possible outcomes

@LoudOutside A panic attack so bad she can hold her phone rock steady and share it with the world…

@TONYxTWO Says the only nation to trigger article 5. You’re dumbass President didn’t follow the rules, trash talked all his Allies and wonders why people don’t respond to him. Why do you still put up with him? Why do you back a war he created to try to get everyone to forget Epstein?

@ShawnaNonna777 @TONYxTWO lol Ukraine isn’t in NATO. What are all Americans so ill informed?

@TONYxTWO Cool. Ukraine isn't our war. POTUS doesn't need to get involved and they need pay back every cent 👇

@JimFergusonUK Let me fix that for you - America caused a crisis and expects everyone else to sort it out.

🚨 PETROL RATIONING — AND STARMER STILL WON’T ACT
The warning is now out in the open.
If the Strait of Hormuz remains blocked, the UK is weeks away from a fuel crisis — and the government already has emergency plans ready:
Petrol rationing
Fuel prioritised for emergency services
50mph speed limits to cut consumption
Let that sink in.
Britain is preparing for shortages, restrictions, and disruption to daily life — not hypothetically, but operationally.
And why?
Because roughly 20% of the world’s oil supply flows through the Strait of Hormuz — and right now, that artery is under threat.
Meanwhile, Donald Trump has made a direct request to allies:
Help secure the shipping lanes.
Send naval support.
Keep global energy moving.
And what did Keir Starmer say?
He needed to “meet with his team”.
Trump’s response was cutting:
“You don’t need to meet with a team… you’re the Prime Minister.”
This is the reality.
While America moves to prevent a global energy crisis, Britain is preparing to ration fuel at home — because its leadership refuses to act decisively abroad.
This isn’t caution.
It’s paralysis dressed up as process.
And the cost of that weakness?
Could soon be felt at every petrol station, every supermarket, and every household in Britain.

@ElizabethBagna1 @Real_Ames As a former teacher this is an overreach. I know of schools local to me where they’ve taken the outside doors off toilets and girls have to carry a red card when on their menses. Authoritarian overreach traumatising an entire generation.

@Real_Ames As a former teacher... its situational... kids use the bathroom as an opportunity to skip... it's hard to tell who needs to pee and who's just bored. 🤷🏻♀️

@rickswift @BuzzPatterson lol. The Nazis would’ve been beaten without you and the USSR would’ve ended at the English Channel

@BuzzPatterson The European theater wasn’t our war in 41 either. But we bailed them out. Never again.

I came back to my car today and just stood there staring at this nonsense. Whoever parked next to me really thought this was acceptable. They squeezed their car in so close that my door barely even opens, and now I’m stuck trying to figure out how I’m supposed to get in without turning it into a full-body gymnastics routine.
And don’t even start with they stayed in the lines. I don’t care. If your parking skills leave someone else trapped like this, you didn’t park properly. It’s not a technicality game, it’s basic awareness. There’s literally no space here. I have to angle my body like I’m breaking into my own car just to slide in sideways.
What makes it worse is they just walked away like this was completely fine. No note, no attempt to adjust, nothing. Just left their car glued to mine and disappeared. Meanwhile I’m standing there looking like an idiot trying to squeeze through a gap that shouldn’t even exist, all because someone couldn’t take five extra seconds to park like a normal person.

@WilliamJHague You lot presided over the decline, stop trying to imply something else.
English

Donald Trump wants the UK’s help securing the Strait of Hormuz. The awkward truth is that we have very little help to give.
The Iran war has exposed the threadbare condition of our defences. An act of national leadership is now required to restore them.

Criticism of Islam is now effectively illegal in the UK
“Today is a dark day for the UK. Labour have made a move that doesn't just undermine free speech. It entirely removes it in an unprecedented way
The only chance of Islam reforming was through scrutiny, debate, and pressure from the government, and now Labour have made even having this conversation potentially unlawful using this definition, prejudicial stereotyping of Muslims and treating them as a collective group defined by fixed and negative characteristics with the intention of encouraging hatred against them, irrespective of their actual opinions, beliefs, or actions as individuals.
It has removed the ability to not just robustly debate Islam, but even criticise individual Muslims, irrelevant of their behaviour. This unbelievably clever wording means any negative view of Islam or indeed individual Muslims can now be silenced as stereotyping from a place of prejudice and make any criticism of Islamic ideology illegal as it would be treating Muslims as a collective.
I've been working all day to find a way round, and there is none as if those thresholds fail. There is always the possibility of being seen to be encouraging hate, as it is impossible to prove that wasn't your intention as it is entirely in the eyes of someone else.
It is now impossible to even in a respectful or intellectual manner, discuss any negative aspect of Islamic ideology or behaviour of any Muslim without the risk of persecution. This is a stance I never thought Labour would go as far as implementing, and especially whilst singling out only Islam.
This offers no protections to any other religious group and places Islam, not just on a pedestal, but in some cases above the law. If I find a video like I often do of a Muslim expressing entirely unacceptable views, that in some way happens to align with the Quran or Islamic ideology, I cannot share this or discuss it in a negative light without appearing to be spreading hostility.
Coming from a place of prejudice or indeed highlighting fixed and negative characteristics of said ideology, I will take some time to decide where I go from here, but my aim has only ever been to share what I consider to be the truth and my personal perspective and not to break the law, and I'm not sure that is possible to do anymore. Well played Labour well played. You haven't just bought in de facto blasphemy laws. You have gone a whole lot further.
If it wasn't terrifying, it would be impressive, but it is a reminder to us all how fragile freedom is and how quickly it can be taken away as it has been today.”

@MikeBales Tell us some other things that never happened
English

My husband is deployed.
I have a newborn and a toddler.
The grass in my yard was knee-high;
I just couldn’t get to it,
and I was exhausted.
I heard a mower outside at 7 a.m. on a Saturday and was annoyed.
When I looked out, I saw three teenage boys from the neighborhood.
They were mowing my lawn, weeding the flower beds, and trimming the hedges.
I ran out and asked, “How much do you charge?”
The leader, a kid named Mike, wiped his forehead and said,
“Nothing, ma’am. We saw the flag on your porch.
We know your husband’s away.
My dad was in the Marines, so we know how hard it is.”
They finished the job and even swept the driveway.
When I tried to give them money, they refused, saying,
“Just tell him thanks when he calls.”
I took a picture and sent it to my husband.
He cried and said, “These are heroes in training.” 🫡🇺🇸

@lawyer_memes How to say ‘I’m a shitty employer’ without saying ‘I’m a shitty employer’.

I received an automatic "Out of Office" reply from a third-year associate.
It said she was "unavailable" for the weekend due to a family reunion.
I was confused.
I thought she worked for me, not the post office.
I called her personal cell immediately.
She didn't answer.
So I called her parents' landline.
I found the number in her background check file.
Her mother answered.
I told her it was an emergency regarding her daughter's future.
The associate called me back three minutes later, breathless.
She asked if she was fired.
I said no, just missing in action.
She spent the reunion refreshing her inbox every 30 seconds.
Availability isn't a setting in Outlook.
It's a lifestyle choice.

@OliLondonTV Allowing him to be in my presence. Lol. Who is going to want to be around someone so demanding?

@GriftReport He surfaced a while ago. And here he is, bobbing back up to the top like the unflushable social media excreta that he is.

Mizzy is told by a Morrisons staff member that he’s going to break his neck if he doesn’t pay for the drink he opened in the shop while doing a “prank”.
The staff member raises his fist several times in anger, not realising Mizzy is secretly recording him.
When are the police going to do him for antisocial behaviour?
