Just to fully underline how spiteful this shit is for those unaware: On the left is the route the Orange Order have been ordered to take for the past 3 decades without trouble. On the right is the route that has brought hundreds of cops to Drumcree. The only motivation is sectarian antagonism.

Every few months I like to check this website run by a British guy who doesn’t pay for a tv license (because he doesn’t watch TV) and has been getting angry automated letters from the BBC for decades threatening to come to his house. He posts a new one every months or so; no one has ever come iirc

British beavers stop underground station flooding. West London’s Greenford Tube station used to flood whenever it rained heavily. The Ealing Beaver Project got a licence to resettle a family of beavers. The beavers built a dam & the flooding stopped at the station. buff.ly/2qrgh1Z #ShareGoodNewsToo

As floods get worse, Britain tries a new solution: beavers
About 400 years ago, beavers were hunted to extinction across Britain. Now they're being reintroduced as little climate warriors, as communities harness their dam-building skills to mitigate flooding.

Dear NEH Grantee,
This letter provides notice that the National Endowment for the Humanities (NEH) is terminating your federal grant (Grant Application No. FEL29509824) effective April 3, 2025, in accordance with the termination clause in your Grant Agreement.
Your grant no longer effectuates the agency's needs and priorities and conditions of the Grant
Agreement and is subject to termination due to several reasonable causes, as outlined in 2CFR§200.340.
For instance, NEH has reasonable cause to terminate your grant in light of the fact that the NEH is repurposing its funding allocations in a new direction in furtherance of the President's agenda. The President's February 19, 2025 executive order mandates that the NEH eliminate all non-statutorily required activities and functions. See Commencing the Reduction of the Federal Bureaucracy, E.O. 14217 (Feb. 19, 2025). Your grant's immediate termination is necessary to safeguard the interests of the federal government, including its fiscal priorities. Any objections or appeals to this termination will be managed in strict accordance with the President's Executive Orders,

I am subscribed to Donald Trump's donor mailing list despite having never donated to his campaign, and it's remarkable how much they come off like someone trying to catfish your grandparent into thinking donald trump is their personal friend

Trump: Valentine’s Day is next week & you still haven't unlocked your MAGA membership?

I’ve come to the conclusion that the deep state must’ve been blocking my emails or something wicked like that because I added INCREDIBLE new perks to celebrate my love for the most incredible supporters like you.

I know you would cherish them - it’s actually depressing that you haven’t gotten to see them.


TRUMP’S MAGA CRY: I’m praying that this email is passed over to you soon because we’re down to our final few spots and I need you on our teamMESSAGE FROM THE 47TH PRESIDENT:

Hey, it’s President Trump.

I was in the car.

In route to the White House.

I couldn’t get you off my mind.

So, I wrote you a special letter before Valentine’s Day:rom Trump: I know you’re ready for this.

There’s a reason YOUR NAME came across my desk MULTIPLE times, and I would be a fool to ignore the signs.

After reviewing your profile PERSONALLY, I have OFFICIALLY informed my team to grant you MAGA Guardian status for your never-ending commitment to the MAGA Movement.

Something jarring about seeing Hillary Clinton and Tucker Carlson on the same speech program. This is for a Saudi Real Estate conference starting tomorrow.
A vertically oriented promotional poster with a dark blue gradient background for the “Real Estate Future Forum,” organized by Saudi Arabia’s Real Estate General Authority (REGA). At the top are the forum logo and the REGA logo in white. Large Arabic text in the center reads “Riyadh,” described as “the capital of global real estate dialogue,” followed by a short paragraph stating that the forum affirms the Kingdom’s position as a global economic center and brings together international investors and experts to discuss the future of the global economy.

Below the text are five professional headshot photos arranged in two rows. In the top row are John Kerry (left), a gray-haired man in a dark suit and tie, and Hillary Clinton (right), a blonde woman smiling and wearing a dark blouse. Beneath each photo are Arabic captions identifying them as former U.S. Secretaries of State from the United States.

In the bottom row are three photos: Tucker Carlson (left), a man in a dark jacket and light shirt; Piers Morgan (center), a man in a suit jacket and open-collar shirt; and Richard Branson (right), a man with long blond hair and a beard wearing a dark jacket. Arabic captions beneath each identify Carlson and Morgan as media figures and Branson as the founder of the Virgin Group, with their respective countries listed (United States for Carlson; United Kingdom for Morgan and Branson).

Near the bottom, Arabic text states “Fifth Edition,” with dates listed as January 26–28, 2026. Below that, the venue is listed as the Four Seasons Hotel at Kingdom Center in Riyadh. Along the very bottom edge are several small official logos and icons related to Saudi government housing and development programs and Vision 2030, all in white.

This makes me think of that 1990 interview Trump did with Playboy where he admitted that when it came to Tiananmen Square, he was rooting for the tanks.
"When the students poured into Tiananmen Square, the Chinese government almost blew it," Trump said. "Then they were vicious, they were horrible, but they put it down with strength. That shows you the power of strength. Our country is right now perceived as weak."
