@Mollyploofkins Because he likes to see people hurting each other, and he’s too chicken to do it himself.

@TonySmi04223149 @GeorgeCochrane1 Can’t quite identify what’s behind the A35, Corsair? Taunus?

@GeorgeCochrane1 I well remember spot welding new sills on, in the rain, on my yellow 128 in 1983. I don't want to do it again thank you.

Too on point not to share. This is great, but too bad the Orange Felon’s enablers won’t let him see it.
This Australian's reply to #Trump's rant about “NATO not being there for America” is perfect.
"Mate. You run a country with 600,000 homeless people sleeping on the street tonight. A country where 40% of adults can't cover a $400 emergency without borrowing money. A country where insulin costs more than a car payment and people are rationing it to survive. A country where medical debt is the number 1 cause of bankruptcy. A country where women are dying in hospital car parks because doctors are too scared of abortion laws to treat a miscarriage.
You lock up more of your own citizens than any nation on earth. More than China. More than Russia. More than North Korea. The land of the free has 2 million people in cages, and a quarter of them haven't even been convicted of anything. They're just too poor to make bail.
Your life expectancy is going backwards. You're the only developed nation where that's happening. Your infant mortality rate is worse than Cuba's. Your kids do active shooter drills between maths and English while you sell the gunmaker's stock to your mates.
Your minimum wage hasn't moved in 15 years. You've got teachers working 2 jobs and veterans sleeping under bridges and you just spent a trillion dollars flattening a country that didn't attack you.
And you’ve got a convicted felon, adjudicating raping, paedophile protecting, porn star shagging insurrectionist running the biggest dumpster fire war campaign since the Taliban thanked you very much for losing again.
And you're calling Greenland poorly run?
Greenland has universal healthcare. Free education. One of the lowest incarceration rates in the world. Nobody goes bankrupt there because they got sick. Nobody dies in a waiting room because their insurance said no.
'NATO wasn't there when we needed them." When exactly was that, champ? September 11? Because NATO invoked Article 5 for the first and only time in history FOR YOU. Soldiers from dozens of countries deployed, fought, bled, and died in Afghanistan FOR YOU. Australia wasn't even in NATO and we still showed up. For 20 years.
And you pulled out at 2am without telling anyone and left them to deal with the mess.
So maybe before you start calling other countries poorly run, have a look at your own backyard, you spray-tanned aluminium siding salesman. The only thing poorly run in this picture is your f----- mouth."

Maiden launch of Starship V3, S39 & B19 from the new Launch Pad 2, captured by one of the NSF remote cameras and a high-fidelity audio recorder. The scale is so massive that it looks like a slow-motion shot as the Starship lifts off rapidly.

Things people did in 1965 without thinking about them.
Skipping breakfast when they weren't hungry. Now: "intermittent fasting." Requires an app, a podcast, a wearable, and a £40 hardback explaining what your great-grandfather did for free on a Tuesday.
Drinking water from the tap. Now: reverse-osmosis filtered, remineralised, sold in glass bottles at £4.50 a litre because the tap is, apparently, suspect.
Going outside without sunscreen. Now: "irresponsible UV exposure." SPF 30 daily, year-round, including overcast February mornings in Glasgow, where the UV index is roughly that of a filing cabinet.
Walking somewhere. Now: a logged step count, a target heart rate zone, carbon-plated trainers, and a recovery protocol for the walk to Sainsbury's.
Cold houses in winter. Now: "thermal stress." Replaced with a smart thermostat holding 22°C year-round, then sold back at £3,200 as a cold plunge tub to deliberately recreate the conditions everyone hated in 1973.
Eating three eggs for breakfast. Now: "dietary cholesterol risk." Triggers a lipid panel and a frank conversation about your "egg habit," conducted by a doctor who hasn't been told the 2015 retraction happened.
Eating butter. Now: "saturated fat exposure." Triggers a leaflet for a plant spread containing fourteen ingredients, none of them dairy and none of them recent.
Children playing outside until the streetlights came on. Now: "unsupervised outdoor risk." Requires a GPS tracker, a registered childminder, and a parental anxiety app, none of which existed when your mother was, at nine, climbing a tree two miles from home with a penknife in her pocket.
Three meals a day at a table with the family. Now: a "structured eating window" and a "social connection intervention," delivered by a £140-an-hour behavioural psychologist suggesting you eat dinner with your wife.
A 55-year-old man lifting his own shopping into the boot. Now: a "functional fitness goal," six-week programme, personal trainer named Jason.
The default conditions of 1965 produced a population that was, on every available measure, leaner, fitter, more fertile, better slept, and considerably less anxious than the population of 2026.
The cure isn't a product. The cure is the protocol they were already running. Tap water. Real butter. Three eggs. Sunlight on skin. Walking because you needed to be somewhere. Cold houses in winter and open windows in summer. Dinner at a table. A child outdoors until dark. None of it was branded. None of it was monetised. All of it worked.
Take it back. It costs nothing. It was yours the whole time.

@JayLow22553 @RangerUpCoffee @ML3democrats There are no federal or state laws in the US prohibiting individuals from flying a foreign national flag on private property. As an expression of free speech, you are entirely free to display any country’s flag on your own home or business.
English

@RangerUpCoffee @ML3democrats Flags? In America?
The nerve of those people in that photo or AI image, or whatever.
The point is, here in the USA we have laws and a Constitution that bans any flags except our own lovely flag. And Trump flags are ok, too. Don’t we?
English

@ProudSocialist And why is Trump attacking Cuba?
Because Obama made them friends.

@BasedMikeLee Well, to be fair, he’s just “someone I’ve known for a long time”. So not really important.

A heckler driving a truck with two St George’s flags on the roof shouts out, "Get Keir Starmer out. You’re ruining the country"
Rachel Reeves repeatedly says, "I love our country" then adds, "And one of the things about our country is good manners"
He then swears, and she replies, "It's not very British.. Right.. Very good.. Put that on the tele"
Not a fan of many of RR's policies, but she's absolutely right here to call him out and to stress the importance of good manners
