I'm Dr. Annie Andrews. I’m a pediatrician, not a politician. But either way I know how to handle people who are full of sh*t. Today I am announcing my campaign for US Senate to replace Lindsey Graham. Share this if you're with me. www.youtube.com/watch?v=J8wM...

It's a false choice. Vote Green and scare the heck out of the political system and get some real change.

#OnThisDay in 1769, while on Tahiti as part of Captain Cook’s first great voyage to the South Pacific, Joseph Banks gives us the first known written description of #surfing... https://publicdomainreview.org/collection/extracts-from-the-endeavour-journal-of-joseph-banks-1769 #OTD

If you are looking to move to Germany, which I can only recommend, then this might be helpful.

It is a good thing I have learned some restraint in my later years, because the old me would have bought this in a heartbeat.

Went for a nice bike today for father's day. I am always amazed at how flat northern Germany is. It looks like the boats are floating through the fields 😀

This made me laugh

I have to head back to the UK for a few days next year. I had promised myself I would never return, but I am going to make an exception this one time. My friend is flying out from Singapore with some nice tickets to the 2 day Metallica, Pantera, and Gojira concert in London. Should be fun.

unions: they get the job done

WTF

Awesome as always

Sunrise: Drogden, by Christian Molsted 1919

"Those who march with authoritarians will never arrive in a liberated society!" Am Samstag, dem 17. Mai 2025, versuchte eine Nakba-Demo – wesentlich getragen von antisemitischen, ultranationalistischen und autoritären Gruppen – eine Extrarunde über das Schulterblatt zur Roten Flora zu drehen. (1/X)

There is no tolerance for this kind of bullshit in the punk scene. FAFO.

It is amazing how much they have changed the message, yet, really, the fascist and racist part has stayed the same. It is like those are the bits that ever really mattered to them.

Euronews Travel has also now covered the Deutsche Bahn / Europe rail ticketing issue, and I spoke to them for their story www.euronews.com/travel/2025/...

Deeds not words

This is why I stay here. I don't care about follower counts or clicks. I care about having a space that I don't hate scrolling through and can learn new things as I do.

You are free to do as we tell you

Ah the familiar sound of austerity that worked so well in the UK. Crumbling infrastructure due to lack of investment spending that now costs 10x the amount to replace versus just spending on incremental upgrades and fixes. Short term thinking causing long term pain.

The results of our latest Eurobarometer are in. Europe remains engaged, optimistic, and united! ⬇️

This is great. Although what I really think the EU needs is a launch site actually in Europe. This would give us a place to take our kids to watch the launches and be inspired. When I lived in Houston visiting NASA was life changing, and then I was lucky enough to visit the Cape in Florida. Wow!

"I have nothing to hide! I don't need digital privacy!" Well... - AI companies are scraping your data - Scammers are using AI to get better at their schemes - And yeah, a new era of government surveillance... A starter guide to protecting you online life:

Some good news. Hopefully Denmark does the same. The Euro really makes travel between EU countries completely painless.

Not far off now

They are purging all the transcripts.

The State Department has temporarily paused interviews for foreign citizens applying for student visas from abroad as it sets up new procedures to review applicants’ social media activity.

This is insane www.surfer.com/news/scandal...

Yes, but is there any consequence to this admission? Or any of the crimes or constitutional violations? If every single check and balance is not stopping what is happening now... then they never existed in the first place. When this is over, put ones with actual enforcement capability in place.

Immigrants are awesome and save lives.

I will be voting Green from now on. I would suggest others who want actual change do the same. We don't even have to win, just swing enough votes to make them worry about us the same way they do about Reform UK or other Far-Right parties.

"Yes this clip has been done to death ….But nothing makes us happier than seeing Brenden “Margo” Margieson throw down a full rail cutty—straight back into the source."

I have spent my whole life trying to be Ace Hunter Clearly I am not alone :-)

This would truly be an amazing discussion to attend. I am such a huge fan of both these individuals, with Gwynne Dyer being a huge influence when I was studying political science.

Sad news. He made some awesome films.

Which is a shame. The two main parties never say anything interesting and rarely answer a question asked. Is in the back benches where the real issues are brought up.

To any Americans thinking of leaving the US to go the UK, thinking you will be escaping things by doing so... this is how the supposed left of politics in the UK is handling equality and basic human rights. Imagine what will happen if they swing back to the right. Move to the EU. It is better.
