I expect he'll collect (at least some of) the money somehow. But the actual distribution will be unfortunately delayed by the money accidentally slipping into his own bank account.

That's probably the point. Iran just keeps doing this until all the interceptors are gone. Then the only choice is for the US to abandon. Unless Hegseth orders them to stay.

A memorial to what once was the most powerful Capital in the World. And is now home to a spiteful toddler throwing tantrums.

If data centers do not use water then they can have no objection to the municipality cutting off their water supply.

We pay 'National Insurance' for these benefits. So we are Insured if we need them. Why should we work for benefits we have already paid for? Will this apply to other insurance? If my car is stolen or my house is burgled must I work to get the insurance payout?

Our hardworking MPs are on holiday & don't want to think about the #ClimateEmergency So, instead of screaming in their faces, which would be rude, I'll send postcards. Use my little ditties or write your own: No new oil The sun has baked the soil You've gone away on holiday And left us all to boil

The video in that story talks about Britain being rich enough to buy food from abroad. But that means that countries which are not rich enough will starve. And while we are sitting smugly with the food we have bought, where will those starving people go? Another refugee crisis?

The letter objecting to them says that on narrow pavements it will be dangerous for blind people or wheelchair users to move into the road. Why is the assumption that the humans will move into the road to let the robots pass? Are we to bow, doff our caps and touch our forelocks as we do so?

Would it have been known as the Tube back then? The first lines were cut-and-cover, it would have been a bit of a sod to run steam trains in deep tunnels.

Detained in a for-profit private prison that makes more money the more people they jam in under worse conditions, and the longer they keep them there. (And are probably paying back-handers to immigration staff for sending them more profit-units).

"I think I should be able to publish this and I am prepared for me to go to prison for life to defend this" is a perfectly legitimate statement. "I think I should be able to publish this and I am prepared for YOU to go to prison for life to defend this" is NOT a legitimate statement.

A short sword stabbed into a tussock of grass and with sprigs of lilac around the cross-guard.

Above the sword are the words, "Truth, Justice, Freedom,"

Below, "Reasonably Priced Love, and a Hard Boiled Egg!"

Here’s a poem called ‘Life of a Naturalist’.
Life of a Naturalist
 
it’s his birthday
and the sloths are up early for once
the flamingos line up in pink, long-legged salute
the birds of paradise parade in their finest
the elephants blow their trumpets
the blue whales gush with joy
the gorillas act out stories of his visits
the lions lay off the wildebeest for one day
and stand together on the Serengeti plain
the lyre birds sing his voice in tribute
the seals cannot stop clapping
and the ostriches urge us
to listen to him
and not bury our heads in the sand

Drive them away from public spaces. Drive them away from commercial spaces. "So where do we go?" "Not here". So they have to find hidden spaces. To gather and be justifiably resentful. And have to defend that space against other groups. "Oh dear, why do we have such a problem with youth gangs?"

I’m sure many have drawn attention to the advice given by the Oracle of Delphi to King Croesus of Lydia, that if he should send an army against the Persians, he would destroy a mighty empire. Just not in the way he hoped

If people born to non-citizens don't have birthright citizenship, then people born to parents who had birthright citizenship don't have citizenship. Or grandparents, or great-grandparents, or . . . That doesn't leave many people other than Native Americans who do have citizenship!

Refer to the laws in other countries to override the constitution? What an EXCELLENT idea! Other countries do NOT have the Second Amendment.
