As I'm learning from @thebhp.bsky.social , you used to have to wait months for this kind of shade to go back and forth between the Pope and a head of state. Thanks to modern technology we're getting a dose of it every day.

America's money goes to Hungary. To Argentina. To fund wars in Iran and invasions of Venezuela.

It goes to kill shipwrecked survivors. To ICE, who shoot US citizens and build concentration camps

Our money seems to fund death and destruction all across the globe

But it never goes to help Americans

It is abundantly clear that one civilisation has already died. The USA no longer has any right to call itself civilised.

I actually helped develop the first dictionary (more a lexicon, really) for a language in Weat Africa. Very different to the COD but I understand the issues.

@susiedentwords.bsky.social I’ve justified Guilty by Definition and want to let you know that I loved it. The final section in the role of women in the development of language was brilliant. Thank you so much.

As head of the armed services he will be colluding in the insults that Mr Trump has launched at them. This is untenable.

If King Charles visits the US at a time when the President and other members of his regime are insulting this country, minimizing the lives of British soldiers who died in American wars, then I can see no purpose or future for the Monarchy.

How much damage does this crazed lunatic have to do accross the US, the world and in particular to Ukraine before the US people get off their arse and deal with him

Nobody could have done more for Russia than Trump, and no US president could have done less for Ukraine

Disgrace

US is a rogue state

French General Torches Trump’s Demands for Help With Scathing ‘Titanic’ Comparison War can be a lonely place.

Okay this is funny:

“A French general has said joining President Donald Trump’s war is like buying a discounted ticket for the Titanic after it had already hit the iceberg.”

Former commander of the Foreign Legion btw.

Aye, I've never done any of their events, but they always come across as a really friendly, and professional bunch. I hope someone can pick up their races and maintain the high standard, but I fear that we'll get one of the new breed of money grabbing groups cherry picking them.

In view of how Trump has lifted sanctions on Russian oil, I think Ukraine should withdraw their drone exports and expertise from Trump’s war in Iran.

I find that the soles of Inov8 Trailflys are bomb proof but the uppers are not so good. However, a patch with Pair-Ups sorts them out and I get around 1000 km from a pair. It’s not ideal, but they work well in my context

War in Iran Where War and Religion Meet

Not everyone's cup of tea, but these are my thoughts on the misuse of theology and some religious implications of the war in Iran.
