I’ve just been checked over by an ambulance after a group of foreign lads came up behind me while I was doing a debate stand, dragged me to the ground, and kicked and punched me.
I passed out halfway through and don’t remember everything that happened. From what I can recall, it started while I was sitting down, and they took some of my equipment during the assault.
The police arrived about five minutes after the assault, recovering as much as they could. One of my cameras exploded when they tried to seize it, or steal it. Instead of running away with it, they destroyed it, causing the battery to explode.
However, I have the SD card, and we'll be checking whether the footage is still there so they can identify what actually happened.
Members from Stand Up to Racism were counter-protesting, and they were egging them on and filming it.
The police did nothing to stop the counter-protesters or retrieve the footage to see what actually happened.
I’ll be going to the hospital now, as I have a cut and a number of marks on my neck, bruises on my face and the top of my head, and cuts running down my back.
@Kenta_lifeinsf I would like to try this. Could we see the pens without the caps. Maybe I could try a different translation app to know which pens to get.
Baobab, a prehistoric species which predates both mankind and splitting of continents over 200 million years ago. Baobabs (Adansonia) are distinctive trees with incredibly large trunks. They can store tremendous amounts of water, as their trunks noticeably swell during the rainy season.
Tree is native to African savannah, where climate is extremely dry and arid, it is a symbol of life and positivity in a landscape where little else can thrive. African baobab (A. digitata) has a vast range throughout the arid parts of Africa; six additional species are native to the Indian Ocean island of Madagascar, off south-east Africa; and an eighth species is native to north-west Australia. The largest known living baobab is the Sagole Big Tree, a specimen of A. digitata located in Masisi, Vhembe, South Africa, near the border with Zimbabwe. Based on its most recent measurements, Sagole has an extremely large base that covers 60.6m², a height of 19.8m and a total wood and bark volume of 414m³. Its aboveground dry mass is estimated to be 54 tonnes.
Baobab trees grow in 32 African countries. Tree known for its longevity and some specimens in Africa have been dated to between 1100-2500 years old and reach up to 30m high and up to an enormous 50m in circumference. Baobab trees can provide shelter, food and water for animals and humans, many savannah communities made their homes near Baobab trees. Baobab also looms among ancient mounds and remains scattered around them are invariably early medieval or Portuguese.
Until 2018, the largest living baobab was sacred Tsitakakoike Baobab, a specimen of the endangered species Adansonia grandidieri, which grew near Andombiro in the Ambiky Forest of south-west Madagascar. The incredibly stout and compact tree had a cylindrical trunk with a base that covered 59.6 m², a height of 14.6m and a total volume of 455 m³ - 380 m³ of which was trunk and 75 m³ of which was canopy. It partially broke and collapsed in February 2018 leaving about 40% of the tree still standing, but this was expected to also collapse soon after.
An even larger African baobab tree (A. digitata) alive during 21st Century was the Platland/Sunland Tree of Modjadjiskloof, South Africa, with a base of 67.9 m², height of 18.9m and a total wood and bark volume of 448 m³. Unfortunately, a large portion of the Platland Tree collapsed and died in 2016, leaving the Sagole Big Tree to claim the top spot.
Baobabs have among the lightest wood for any tree. Balsa wood is well known to model aeroplane makers as one of the lightest and softest woods, with a wood density that averages around 0.15 g/cm³, yet baobab wood is even lighter, averaging 0.13 g/cm³. As a result, the aboveground dry mass of the Platland baobab was estimated at only 58 tonnes and about 59 tonnes for Tsitakakoike. In terms of mass, giant gum trees (Eucalyptus) of Australia are the largest hardwood trees.

@WhiteDudesWs If he's the "dude" of the week....
Why are there 2 people in the picture?
Whose the other "dude"??? Make it make sense people please... 🤦
White Dude of the Week. 🧑🏼🏆
Austin Metcalf's twin brother, Hunter Metcalf, had the last words before Karmelo Anthony was taken to prison.
"You took a son, a brother, a friend, and my best friend, from this world. You took someone from me who was supposed to be an uncle, godfather to my kids. Now I want everything taken from you".
Powerful!

@victormarx You are a sick joke. Definitely not a conservative Republican. You give anyone who listens “ the cringe” & I can’t understand why evil people such as yourself get such a platform. Oh wait, the system is corrupt. Pound sand you fraud!
Guess we’re doing something RIGHT! When The Daily Show and John Oliver start paying attention and taking shots, you know our movement’s growing and winning. Keep on fighting cause you know the left isn’t giving up their grip on power without a fight… but we’re ready for it. (And oh yeah… they’re pretty funny. We’ll give them that. Ha!)
@SaveLucyTheDog If she is not home tomorrow, release the name of your harasser. You tried patience and you tried kindness. The only way Lucy will come home is if your torturer gets a taste of the pain they've caused. Would you tell a wife abused by her husband to stay silent to "keep the peace?"
This was supposed to be Lucy's first weekend back home in seven weeks. That did not happen. Whether it is because of bureaucratic torpidity or those with the power to release her giving the knife one last twist, she is still in a cell.
Prayers for good news tomorrow. #SaveLucy
Goodbye to the best dog in the world.
Merkel (2016-2026) died unexpectedly of a hidden tumour that suddenly ruptured.
She was a 95 lb lap dog who loved her family ferociously.
She did everything she came to do. She chased the squirrels, caught the frisbees, ate the treats, exercised her humans, and protected her house.
That house is too quiet today.
This is my gay hand. Among a statistically significant number of homosexual men, the second finger on their dominant hand is shorter than the third finger. The opposite is the case for heterosexual men. This and other evidence (later birth order, etc.) points to a biological basis for same-sex attraction.
Well, lost 4 followers for calling out people who deny the existence of same-sex attracted people.
I was observed to be male at birth because of my genitalia.
I will not listen to a lecture about sex and gender identity and the meaning of sexual
orientation.
I won't stand for your hatred of homosexuals.
What rights did trans people fight for gay and lesbian people?

I’m an apartment maintenance technician for a large complex. I got a work order last week for a leaky kitchen pipe in a unit occupied by a frail, elderly widow named Evelyn. When I walked into her apartment, the air was freezing—the thermostat was set to 52 degrees. I looked on her counter and saw three empty cans of cheap pork and beans; her microwave was completely dead, and she was eating them cold straight out of the tin because she couldn't physically lift heavy pots onto the stove anymore. She told me she was keeping the heat low because her medication prices had gone up, and she couldn't afford the electric bill. I fixed her pipe in ten minutes. Then I clocked out, drove straight to Walmart, and bought a digital space heater and a brand-new, easy-to-use countertop microwave on my own credit card. I brought them back to her unit, set them up, and plugged them in. "The property management group is doing a mandatory energy efficiency upgrade for seniors today," I lied, handing her a warm bowl of soup I had heated up for her. "These are completely free." Sometimes, maintenance is about fixing a pipe. Sometimes, it’s about making sure a human being is warm.

Imagine Stratholme proper, fully restored. Imagine a Classic+ where the world changed and the actions of players and the lore actually had lasting effects.
In an alternate timeline, in Classic+, this could be real. A restored plaguelands. The Eastwealds as a new zone.
