Milk so aged it could itself be a weapon. '94 President Clinton praises Ukraine’s courageous decision to surrender its nuclear arsenal, pledging full US support for its independence, sovereignty and territorial integrity. He also considers it unlikely that russia would ever attempt to seize Crimea.

My teacher brother has just informed me that his primary school kids now refer to anything shit or old fashioned as "Brexit". Which has made my morning.

theres nothing we can do. we can nuke them, or we can invade. that's it. neither is doable. we cant safely lob munitions at them anymore because were running out of that. i think pretty soon if we even want to bomb them we're going to have to fly planes over them and we don't have the guts for that

But that is exactly how the suffragettes operated. With a nationwide organisation of sleeper cells of arsonists and bombers. I’m gratefully people have reached out and referenced my work today. I remain (I believe) the only academic expert on the terrorism of the suffragettes. Links below:

Strong statement from the Court of Appeal re Palestine Action. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

The ignorance is staggering. This country is at war and is currently holding a global sporting event. It makes the awkwardness of the ‘36 olympics look convivial.

Kilmeade to an agreeing Markwayne Mullin: "In Belfast they're standing up because their leaders have let them down. They're trying to take their country back. They want to label them as racist. All they want to be is Irish. They want Ireland back. I see a lot of the same fights here."

Yesterday I witnessed something extraordinary: the author Sarah Wynn-Williams sitting silent on a stage at @hayfestival.bsky.social. And she got a standing ovation. I hope the attempt to censor her backfires magnificently. I have just ordered her book. www.theguardian.com/technology/2...

Quick reminder for the many people who still don't understand this concept: If you pull this bullshit at bag claim — standing DIRECTLY in front of the belt, with your giant luggage cart, no less — everybody in the airport hates you. Stand 6' back until your bag is 6' from you. Thank you. 🛄

@maxrushden.bsky.social loved the supermarket sweep as an expat living here a bit longer than yourself I particularly enjoyed the mispronunciations of the place names, Tamar, Illawarra etc. I still steadfastly refuse to use the local pronunciations as a joke now. My fave being Launceston

"sick country with demented leader" - every statement is a projection

Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com

Q: Is hitting power plants is a war crime? TRUMP: I'm not worried about it. You know what's a war crime? Allowing a sick country w/demented leaders to have a nuclear weapon. If I allowed that to happen like 7 other presidents- many of them say off the record they should've done this a long time ago

That feeling you get when you’re bored of playing in the sand pit. You haven’t realised the concept of selfishness so you suggest to your friend that you can play with my digger for a bit because you can’t be bothered to bring it home
