Solar glasses 🕶️ from Amazon unexpectedly turned up! Posted RM yesterday afternoon, thought arrival this evening if lucky. Turned out the regular morning post person (a lady) had it already. Must have packed them round the clock for the early-Xmas sales boost, notwithstanding cancellations if late.

Funny thing about #Argentina was thet were so into dirty gamesmanship like pushing but once they fell behind, they started to concentrate on playing football and they were brilliant at it. #worldcup

Brace yourselves, Americans! Trump is going to announce the construction of a palace 🏛️ which resembles Versailles but the size of Kentucky, to commemorate a triumphant outmanoeuvring by the Iranian regime of 2026.

The first glance of 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 under the bonnet on the big stage in Dallas. England 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 helped by a German 🇩🇪 is quite a good thing in this age of supercharged nationalism. 2-1 for England, maybe? #worldcup #moneygames

Hitler frequently overruled his generals' advice, and he became increasingly involved in day-to-day military management. While the German officer corps often agreed with his early, bold decisions, Hitler's later interference in strategic and tactical operations frequently led to severe defeats.

Let’s just say that the optimism emerged after the horrors WW2, that people on earth could live happily together, sharing prosperity (via free trade), life & history towards Star Trek type utopia, that’s all over. The good news is that the divided world did produce Da Vinci, Mozart and Van Gogh.

📉Sanctions didn’t work on Russia or Iran, bankrupt countries like Argentina continue to exist, Brexit woes hasn’t made Britons change their minds, nor any doomsayers’ vision of apocalyptic economic collapses ever materialise - it just takes too long to take effect, by then people are used to it.

Trump seemed literally thought up tariff over Greenland idea during unrelated Q&A with the press yesterday, thought about implementation overnight, announced it in the morning on social media. Someone he did trust may have ruled out military option for now for unknown unknowns of disbanding NATO.

Shouldn’t the editors of Daily Mail, Daily Telegraph, i newspapers along with BBC’s Mason and ITV’s Peston be sacked for peddling lies themselves? OBR guy was grossly incompetent, the inquiry found. And UK has not escaped huge public finance black hole, it’s coming alright.

How come Lewes Bonfire 🔥 can put on such a spectacle and is trying its best to keep it to itself by pulling up all the drawbridges while Burning the Clocks 🕰️ in much larger Brighton which welcomes everyone is cancelled due to funding issues?

Britons still justify anti-immigrant sentiment by saying they put pressure on public services like NHS which is strapped for cash, when the services need working population who pay tax. They should come clean and say they just don’t want foreigners, like in Japan.😜

Hope Björn Borg’s new autobiography is a good one, he’s the first sports superstar I realised was a bit of an idiot off court unlike his image. Not crazy or off-putting, just disappointing. But then again, he was out there stuck in hotels since in his teens. (McEnroe went to college, and it shows.)

When Obama Hope poster went viral, the designer was chased to the end of the earth for copyright infringement. MAGA seems to be freely using NYT Trump photo from the shooting, copyright holder probably afraid of backlash asking for compensation. ©️ is never about law but who can bully whom.
