There's no 'i' in TEAM. There's also no 'i' in a case sensitive grep. [Like if you understood the second one]

With USA objecting to the phrase 'Russian aggression; in a G7 statement, the worst course of action is to water it down. Let the G6 call out Putin without prevarication. The friend of your enemy is no longer your friend. I hope Americans quickly remove the grotesque bucket of vomit they elected.

On behalf of the United Kingdom I would like to apologise for Liz Truss. The hunt is on for her brain, but I think the chances of locating it are slim.

We have Starmer, who is showing increasing signs of testicles. Then there's Zelensky who is essentially all testicle. Then there's Trump, who has none at all and wears nappies (diapers), presumably because he's constantly full of shit. Guess who Putin is not worried about at all.

The average IQ of people who still believe anything Trump says is steadily declining. The current level is 'line dancer' but quickly heading for 'cuttlefish'. Sadly, way too many cuttlefish in flyover states.

WHen you step through the final door, you only need to take with you the good things; the love and laughter, adventures and successes. The bad and sad things have no power over you any more. Knowing this tells all of us what matters in life, and what does not.

Humanity. A species where those with nothing will care for all, and those with everything care for no-one. We are angels and demons, heaven and hell on earth. You can be rich and humane, but the pit is open before you, and your soul is in your hands, in your choices.

Recently I had a Tarantula on my hand, also 'modelled' a 40Kg Python. We were all cool with each other. No-one was hungry or scared, see? Accepting other humans with minor differences should be a doddle, shouldn't it? Do the bigots need a sandwich? Or a nappy change?

As a dad and grandad, I am faced with Hobson's choice for what I wish upon those I love: Oppression or War? I know there are no other options. It's too late. Live as peasants, or maybe die trying not to. I would die for them, which parent wouldn't? How did we let this happen?!

What do you say to a precious soul at the end? Forget regrets, we all have those. Know that as you passed this way, you gave some light, some joy, some love. You are loved. You have done all that any of us can do; paint your brilliant colours on the world. Thank you. Take your bow. Go in peace.

Starmer, be Ch..Ch..Ch.. Churchill not Chamberlain. Yes, explain it right and we will pay more tax to boost our military. Just make sure business pays up too.

Is it just me, or is there the faintest outline of testicles showing on Starmer?

My grandad came back from WW1 barely alive, weighing 4.5 stone. His generation, and then my parents' generation BLED and DIED so my generation could build the free world. If you do not fight to preserve it now, then you piss on my grandad's grave. Fuck you for your weakness.

The most delusional you could be now is to think that you are ever going to vote Trump out. Think about what he's doing! He's fucking over his base! If there are mid-terms or another full election, they will be absolute shams. You do not live in a democracy now. Fight, for fucks sake!

I've had a good life. For the sake of my kids, grandkids and for the free world, I would take the shot. Without hesitation. I'd empty the clip, then die knowing it had been worth it.

It's worth understanding that the fascists have made the classic error of investing all the power in one man. Remove Trump, by any means, and they collapse into infighting, easily swept aside. Just saying. "Any means".

NATO is dead. It was always predicated on USA being the big stick and that's gone. Totally. Europe either steps up and builds a credible military opposition to Russia. It can. Or we get used to adding 'ski' to all our town names and drinking really shit vodka. Oh and no future for our kids.

'Positive Masculinity' - Defend the weak, promote justice, encourage achievement, celebrate other' success, aim high but play fair, see souls, bring joy and hope. To men who do not act thus, who are not real men, fuck you to hell. Rot in hell. You are poison to the world. A cancer. Filth. Nothing.

I'm a Dad. I changed nappies, got 3am tea for breastfeeding wife, burped, settled, fed, cooked, took to/from school & activities, read stories, hugged, wiped away tears, tried to inspire, always loved to the max. Celebrate proper dads everywhere, encourage more of them. #ProperDad

We're listening to Miss Marple and there was a reference to the font in a church. We immediately got into a discussion of the relative merits of Calibri vs Segui. I have fears about our characters.

Caring for others, regardless of background. Caring about the planet we all depend on. Caring about the death and suffering of innocents. We need to preserve these human instincts. Don't get lost. Keep them alive.

2025. The year when all the good people stood still, wrung their hands, said "This is wrong", but did nothing as their country burned down around them. They'll wake up as the ashes settle, and wonder why they just let it happen. Too late.

You must must must understand. Trump is not 'making mistakes' or being incompetent, or even simply an arsehole. His only objective, is to destroy America, to unravel it. He wants it all to go to hell and everything he does is with that aim. I don't see anything stopping him. No-one has the guts.

#Google peaked with the #Pixel 5. We both have one. All Pixels after the 5 are freaked out monstrosities designed by someone on crack. We are clinging on in the hope they will humanely put down the designer and revert to the old design language. Please, Google? Pretty please? With sprinkles?

Trump owns both houses, SCOTUS and the FBI. The Democrats are in denial. Nothing in law or constitution is going to stop him. You can let it all die and live in a dictatorship on a dying world, or you can band together, en masse, and remove him, Musk and Vance too. Time for true American spirit.

What we all need to do, every day, is listen to the good doctor, Angus Young. It is not possible to listen to AC/DC without immediately dragging orange morons off thrones and beating them to death with a guitar.

Over here in the UK we are absolutely stunned & extremely worried by what is happening in America. How were the Democrat admin caught on the hop like this? Was everyone too busy calling Trump & Musk clowns to see that their buckets contained acid, not water? That the clown shoes were Nazi jackboots?

The last 2500 years has seen dozens of empires, all gone. The empire of 'The West', led by the USA, which took over from the British empire, is coming to an end. America is done. Whether anything lasts; Europe, Canada, others, depends on them acting fast, together and with clear eyes. So far? Zip.

A wise friend of mine was wondering if Millennials, Gen Y/Z will pick up the pieces of the civilisation we're burning down. The deciding factor might be if 'online' becomes so toxic they reject it all. That might lead them to act, instead of just being angry on social media (pot, kettle, black etc)

I see lots of talk about being ready for the mid-terms. Simple logic time. Trump knows that his actions would result in a hammering in 2 years. He'd lose both houses, then be impeached and removed. He knows that. The mid-term elections will be completely rigged. Do not put any faith or hope in them.
