A long time ago in a galaxy far, far away: in 2008, after Russia attacked Georgia, Viktor Orbรกn spoke about the need for a clear moral stance and condemned Russian aggression.
A year later he met Vladimir Putin one-on-one โ and everything changed.

Banana containers cause shipping disruption in Solent
The containers came off a cargo ship near Bembridge on Saturday evening.
Being a strictly tropical fruit the banana is not the natural enemy of British shipping, but like all predators, when given an opportunity its natural instincts will kick in...

With the new U.S. national security strategy (โNSC-88โ), I think it is high time to ban Twitter in the EU altogether. At the very least, what the ever loving hell are our politicians doing there anymore?
They provide material for a system that will be used to attack us.

Being a British parent is so weird bc you're actually worried about paying the sky high rent/mortgage & getting GP appointments but the entire press keeps telling you you're worried there's a trans person or immigrant nearby & the vat on Eton means there'll only be two skiing holidays this year

Bronze plaque saying "A Letter to the Future. Ok is the first Icelandic glacier to lose its status as a glacier. In the next 200 years all our glaciers are expected to follow the same path. This monument is to acknowledge that we know what is happening and what needs to be done. Only you know if we did it. August 2019. 415ppm CO2"
TIL about a memorial ceremony in Iceland in 2019 to mark the end of a glacier, changing the place name from Okjรถkull to Ok (jรถkull = glacier). Uncompromising wording on the bronze plaque:
"This is to acknowledge that we know what is happening and what needs to be done. Only you know if we did it".

You only have to go back a few generations in my family to find Irish people forced to leave their homeland because British colonialism manufactured a famine and made it impossible to stay. It destroyed the region I descend from.
It's the literal reason I'm English.

A man in Wyoming calls ICE on his Amazon delivery driver for speaking Spanish.
The Amazon driver displays incredible grace and kindness under pressure.
Imagine ordering cheap goods from the billionaire owned corporation and then threatening the person who delivers it to you?

I somehow nearly forgot this hilarious gem from Amanda McKittrick Ros (1850-1939), after she visited Westminster Abbey:
Holy Moses! Take a look!
Flesh decayed in every nook!
Some rare bits of brain lie here,
Mortal loads of beef and beer.

that's one of the many things wrong with AI - you can feel cheated and foolish - decieved - it's all negative.
But people post it for clout, or out of badness - bad people.

IMO, the best framework for understanding all of this infighting is that Tucker, Candace, TPUSA, Fuentes, and the Daily Wire are fighting over their respective audience shares of the relatively small number of people interested in consuming their nonsense.

"Kyle Reese" from "The Terminator." The text reads, "Listen, and understand. Mariah Carey is out there. She can't be reasoned with; she can't be bargained with. She doesn't feel pity or fear or remorse, and she absolutely will not stop, ever. Because all she wants for Christmas is you!"
Where's a Terminator when you need one?

No 9-year-old today is going to spend a rainy Saturday afternoon watching 'Now, Voyager' or Jimmy Stewart talking to an imaginary rabbit for 70 minutes - and that's understandable - but it's also sad.

The people posting this AI shite are preying on other human beings - taking advantage of their humanity. We are in deep, deep trouble and pretty soon, who'll need the real thing - actual animal shelters helping actual animals - when they can just plug into this?

Sadly, this appears to be AI. There are some tells throughout (hands disappearing, the people in the background staring like collective zombies, some weird configurations on the walls) but overall, this looks pretty real -- it's getting harder to tell what's real and what's not. Which ain't great.

Growing up with 2 TV channels and no VCR - we watched everything from Dr Zhivago and Casablanca to Harold Lloyd, I Love Lucy and The Marx Brothers.
My 9 yr old daughter has a vast library at her finger tips but I think we were luckier.

Paul Anka, thanks so much for agreeing to do a rare interview. No one has seen or heard from you in at least 40 years. I know you're a busy man so I'll just get right to the burning question that the world has been dying to know the answer to: What was Frank Sinatra's penis like?

UK will surely rejoin customer union/single market in some form - and the whole Brexit thing will just have been throwing away special status in the EU, massively damaging their own economy - and inflicting a big dumb waste of everybody's time.
