something extraordinary is happening on Garvaghy Road Northern Ireland. Decent minded protestants & unionists have started to come out to support the Garvaghy residents, against the Orange Order parade madness. This is truly extraordinary. quick 🧵

Google finally updated some of its satellite images of Gaza and my god, it's horrific. The entirety of Rafah has been demolished. The majority of Khan Younis is in ruins. Entire towns completely leveled and erased of the map.

I found a bunch of power cables, thought, "I probably won't need these," and threw them in the bin. I think my man licence is now being revoked.

Wait,there's a Eurovision Asia national final on right now? Oh, Thailand, you're using Hera Bjork's 2024 entry as the interval music? I'm sure even Hera Bjork remembers she was in the contest that year.

Just checking the luggage rules for my flight to the Faroes "Skates may be brought on flights from Helsinki, but there may be restrictions on flights from other places." I guess they just couldn't argue with the Finns on that one.

A lot of people said a lot of things about the ineffectiveness of production limitations for generating greenhouse gas reductions and speeding up renewable adoption for the past decade which were clearly false. May "keynesianism means we have to keep building oil and gas infrastructure" finally die

Not only did I meet Robert Kraft, I worked for him. His kid Jonathan asked me to “remove the black music” from my gameday playlist in ‘94 & I refused so they fired me. I was the cheerleader director at the time.  I sued them for wrongful termination and won. So yes, I know that motherfucker.
