Wood burner cooker in France. Oil AGA in our old kitchen. Somehow they seem more real than useful ovens!!

💥 The people of Venezuela have taken to the streets to protest the theft of their oil: “We are protesting against the theft of our oil and interference in our sovereignty by the United States.” 8/30/26

People can "just adapt" to a changing climate, a thousand rightwing voices keep telling us. Either they lack imagination or they don't care. Try "adapting" to this. www.theguardian.com/world/2026/a...

Wow!! youtube.com/shorts/_bg7x...

Young MAGA is pissed with Trump, so JD Vance swooped in with a stirring message of "Please don't leave!" They still don’t know they’re the problem 🤔 #DailyShow

I have been feeling like iI am waiting for the other shoe to drop for so long now. it's exhausting.

He was a coward during Vietnam and as with all bully's he is still a coward.

My man looks like Mel Gibson headbutted a wasps' nest

Where are democrats?? The GOP gave them a gift with the DOJ reflecting pool announcement. Why aren’t democrats everywhere screaming about that cover up?? Why isn’t there noise everyday about Mitch McConnell?? Iran?? The economy?? Where are they??

Well, where is he? If he's dead, we should know this.

The sheer cheek of the US administration excusing their tariffs by accusing other countries of not doing enough about forced labour is astounding. Have they ever looked once at their own private prison system? Maybe the rest of the world should just stick 100% tariffs on all US goods and services.

A lot of people don’t realize the dust bowl wasn’t a natural phenomenon. It happened when agrobusiness interests dramatically transformed the plains without regard for drought, and created vicious dust storms that choked whole families to death. That’s what I think of when I read about data centers.

Facebook is down for many people. Hope it's nothing trivial. Now do the same for X and unTruthantiSocial.

And just like that, it completely VANISHED from the media. But a sitting congressman, Ted Lieu, said on the record The Epstein files are being blocked because they show Trump raped and threatened to kill children. Don't trust me... listen to him 👇

So just what the hell is this block list all about? Is this place going to get like X? I don't even know what this list means, in what way am I gullible??

The heat has become to hot for poor Nigel. www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

After calling out Starmer for his freebies, Nigel Farage might well have egg on his face. Nigel Farage is facing a formal investigation by the parliamentary standards watchdog over a £5m gift from the crypto billionaire Christopher Harborne

If the investigation finds Farage committed a particularly serious breach of parliamentary declaration rules, he could be suspended from the Commons. A suspension of 10 days or more could trigger a recall petition, potentially forcing him to fight again for his Clacton seat.

Today in Brexit Britain you are being asked to believe that a Thailand-based cryptocurrency tycoon secretly gave Nigel Farage - the person, not his party - five million pounds without any hope or expectation of getting anything in return.

That's like trying to leave the Isle of Man at Rondaldsway Airport!!! Don't you dare smuggle any Manx kippers out!

Lovely people, these Reform UK candidates for the upcoming election, and great to know they're on our side.

JD Vance is on a historic roll: He campaigns for AfD in Germany - they lose. Invited the Pope to come to US for Trump’s big event - Pope refuses. Leads peace negotiations with Iran - fails miserably. Campaigns in Hungary for Orbán - who gets smoked.

Trump is such a Grade A Arsehole: Cuban doctors, emissaries of one of the world’s most besieged nations, are being expelled from host nations, contracts terminated, health programmes dismantled.

We didn't deserve this day.

"Someone decided to compress the kill chain. Someone decided that deliberation was latency. Someone decided to build a system that produces 1,000 targeting decisions an hour and call them high-quality.

🧵The Covid Inquiry’s latest reports have made one thing brutally clear: the first year of the pandemic - and especially the second Covid wave in winter 2020/21 - was devastating. Much of that devastation was avoidable. This 🧵: impact on NHS, impact on bereaved, and avoidable harm. 1/19

I will never forget this piece of evidence. If this is not an NHS “overwhelmed” then I have to ask what is the government’s and the Senior management’s idea of “overwhelmed” If we don’t face facts head on how can we solve the problems?

Two Psycho's and a Drunks achievements so far: Four weeks into a war that was going to take four days, and that has so far cost the US about $30-40bn and Israel $300m a day, Washington is further away from a diplomatic agreement with Iran than it was in May 2025. They had a viable agreement morons.

If only Trump had some Oil/Gas risk analysts to consult before launching this dumb war. Oh wait he did he sacked them all. So no after agreeing to Israel hitting the gas production he is now back peddling. www.axios.com/2026/03/19/i...

MAGA fantasy: One reason that Americans elected Trump because they wanted their blue-collar jobs back In China, where factory culture is deeply ingrained, young Chinese are now reluctant to tolerate the drudgery. If the Chinese aren’t willing to do factory work any more, why would Americans.

You know what to do... www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article...

Yes indeed!

Cancel the King's visit to the Whitehouse I say.

The UK should be at war with this war criminal scum and interning his British apologists.

This guy, Philip Giraldi, former CIA chief, called this in 2017, almost word for word what is occurring. #USDemocracy

Takes one, to know ine

Y’know what, Mango Mussolini… This is from the UK, with ZERO love….

Fact. The screwdriver that tightens the arms of spectacles is only available inside Christmas crackers. Opticians have to pull dozens of crackers to get the tools of their trade, and if you look out the back at Specsavers, you’ll find bins full of wire puzzles, hair bobbles and fortune telling fish.
