I'm definitely older than thirty. Just a word to the wise: If you follow me but I can't see your posts, I won't follow back: I like to know what I'm getting into.

Let's just pause to appreciate this for a moment: The USA is now threatening other NATO countries to secure a place as a fuel hegemon.

In an age where “free speech” is a culture war issue warped and won by how much US dark money a side has, I implore you to listen to literally anyone from Northern Ireland (or the west of Scotland) to understand what cultural “free speech” debates feel like marching in front of your actual house.

Engineers have long since proved that gravity can be simulated by rotating a vehicle in space. If theatre isn't the point, though, dumping someone out of an airlock is safer than decapitation: Fluid spillage in low gravity is nothing to sneeze at.

So, these new US Space Farce - sorry, Force - uniforms derive from designs in the movie Starship Troopers. Two questions: "Did the chucklehead who thought these up realize that fascism was being satirised in that movie?"; and, "How long until we see Indiana Jones punch someone wearing it?"

In early August, I contracted listeria, a bacterial infection from food poisoning. It hit me so hard that I ended up in the hospital for four days with severe dehydration and injured kidneys. I’m fine now but be extra careful with what you eat these days. It’s no joke.

The next time you think about reaching out and hesitate because you don't want to be a bother or you think you aren't important enough in that person's life? I want you to imagine they too have been thinking about you, and in their mind the growing silence is because you just don't care about them.

Trump's $4 billion Presidential windfall is unprecedented in scale & source. Obama's wealth grew from royalties from books written before office, and Bush's largely came from a sports‑team stake from over a decade prior. Trump's new billions are from deals made in office.

UK social media ban could cut lifeline for disabled children, campaigners warn
Activists say blanket ban could prevent teenagers from discovering peers and role models with similar conditions Disability activists have said banning under-16s from social media risks cutting off a “lifeline for friendship” for disabled children and could push them into social isolation by preventing them from making connections online. Charities and high-profile figures in disability advocacy said they were concerned that a blanket ban on social media would disproportionately affect teenagers who may not be able to meet people easily in real life or find peers with similar conditions.

The Epstein files contain evidence about the sexual abuse of women, and especially minors. That was terrible. But there's something even worse in those files: evidence of billions of dollars of corruption. Many wealthy people who were not involved in sex abuse were involved in financial crimes.

They paused Oversight Committee hearings the minute we started getting answers about the Epstein files. Now it’s “roundtables”: no rules, no oaths, no subpoenas. You do the math. Because the moment accountability shows up, they shut it down. The survivors deserve better.
