Iran in Ghana & @IRAN _GHANA. 8h Dear Italy, Your PM just defended Pope and lost an ally in Washington - the Commander in Grief, yet the most 'powerfool'man on earth. We'd like to apply for the vacancy. Our qualifications: 7,000 years of civilization, a shared love of poetry, architecture, and food that takes longer to prepare than Trump's attention span. The only thing Iran and Italy have ever fought over is who invented ice cream. Faloodeh came first. Gelato came louder. We've been in a 'cold' war over this for 2,000 years.

Iran’s … trolling.

1-panel SMBC comic update. A caption over the comic reads "politicians deeply underrate the utility of the future perfect continuous tense for technical non-lying." In the panel, a man in a suit is orating by a podium, he says "my fellow citizens, I am pleased to announce that the war will have been over soon!"

We will have had peace immediately!

Ugh. I've had way too much chocolate today. And my fingers are all sticky. And my joints are giving me hell.
But it was worth it!

(Yeah, I tell myself this every year...)

Dear Donald Trump: Thank You for Everything (Truly) A thank you letter for fuel poverty, rising mortgages, and the economic consequences now landing at your front door.

Pete DUI Hegseth, the US Secretary of “War” has insisted that we all instantly prostrate ourselves and say “thank you” to Donald J. Trump.

Fine.

Here it fucking is.

What is the plan here? To rebirth the UK as a nation of WW2 era spivs?

Europeans when asked to help unblock the strait of Hormuz:

I was living off-grid in a hippy community in Wales then, so had no idea of what was happening in London!

love how we killed the old, frail anti-nuke ayatollah just to have him replaced with his young, healthy son who wants nukes and who just had his father, mother, wife, and child murdered on the same day by his mortal enemy. surely this will bring peace to the region

That would probably have been the last London smog, in December 1962. I remember it as well. I had to wear a big handkerchief tied over my mouth and nose when I went to school; coming back home, the hanky was invariably filthy with dirt particles.

The Green Party spent between £63,000 and £84,000 on Meta ads to help them win the Denton and Gorton by-election. 113 ads in total, loads of different creatives. Estimated reach of 6-7.25m impressions. They absolutely bombarded the seat with ads.

That hasn't got a invitee's name on it - where's the accompanying email?
And why would her team send an invite to an incarcerated man?

No TWs in the Epstein files? You've actually gone through them all, studied every page?
As for JKR being in there, show me.

It's a "Womens' Fund" for women who want to keep their sex-based rights.
Please explain why womens' rights are transphobic.

PS: Nobody is stopping trans people from setting up their own trans rights fund. There are lots of businesses, charities and celebrities who would be happy to contribute.

I have a huge crush on Sam Neill so when he started messaging me on Google Chat I was thrilled

I was a little shy sending him photos but he was really encouraging

I wonder what’s next in this new adventure

Maybe he could be THE ONE 🤞

A damned good question.

“Is God willing to prevent evil, but not able? Then he is not omnipotent.

Is he able, but not willing? Then he is malevolent.

Is he both able and willing? Then whence cometh evil?

Is he neither able nor willing? Then why call him God?”

Tried setting them on fire? I'm serious - the name suggests that they grow after forest fires (yes, I could be wrong about that).

But surely it's Braverman - the allegedly wronged party - who has to do the suing?

Homicides at lowest level in nearly 50 years, ONS statistics show The 499 homicide cases in the year to September were the lowest in England and Wales since 1977.

Let's hope this positive news gets as much attention as the people who try to convince us that the UK is a murder ravaged hellscape.
