It is quite amusing to me how so many people don’t understand scale .
You would have to have a fleet of around 100k trucks running 24/7 down a road twice the size of the M25
Volumes of oil transitioning this strait are around 20 million barrels a day.
Roughly 70% world trade volume
My new favourite genre of online posting: if I were the Strait of Hormuz I would simply stay open.
Do the target audience for this stuff not get tired of how trivial it all is? Feel like all my life I've been watching these blowhards have tantrums over nothing
Big #compoface energy.
And yet every time you see a picture of the same 23 terfs looking miserable in a field somewhere, we're told they're the majority opinion
Civ 6 style moves.
Dunno guys seems bad??
Do we need a daily count on how many teams who qualified for this World Cup are travelling to a tournament hosted by the very country that’s attacking them?
I don’t really give a shit what’s on the new banknotes, quite nice if stuff started to cost less and Thames Water stopped pouring shit into the rivers though.
And I say that knowing that some very vocal people hate it the core of their beings too 🤷♂️
Got right back into Stellaris in a big way. Playing the open beta for their next overhaul. Absolutely brilliant tbh. I know it has its ups and downs with some updates but I think the Paradox model for how they continue to develop games like Stellaris is the best thing going into gaming.
Are we the farmers league?
Seriously, where’s the shame?
They must protect their man at all costs so as not to be faced with the prospect that they might not be in the smartest people in every room.
“No you don’t understand! It’s different! I voted for this PM!”
I’m sure that the very sensible types who were roundly calling for Boris Johnson to resign over various personal and public errors of judgement will be taking a similar stance over these Mandelson files, right?
“Hi, I’m Johnny Knoxville. Welcome to the Strait of Hormuz.”
BREAKING: The due diligence provided to Keir Starmer before Peter Mandelson’s appointment as US Ambassador warned it would be a "general reputational risk"
That kind of declaration of interest should just happen as a matter of course rather than shrugging and saying, “well, the listener probably knows that anyway”.
Trevor Phillips is on Times Radio at the moment presenting its lunchtime show and talking about the imminent release of the Mandelson files. He’s not mentioned that Peter Mandelson has been his friend for many years and was best man at his first wedding.
“Today was the day Donald trump finally became president” etc etc
When you build a machine to target people based on gender, race, or any other identity, it ends up targeting Jews too.
New deposition testimony shows a DOGE staffer flagged a Holocaust documentary—about Jewish women forced into slave labor by the Nazis—for termination.
His reason is shocking.

When a father wants to take all credit on the big day every year…
The troubles
In a way I enjoyed too haha
Obviously this is why the people love their hip hop.
I dunno. I find that hard to square to be honest. But as I’ve said elsewhere, I am biased by how much the big man hooked me in too.
Absolutely not but you also wouldn’t have brought Bielsa back mid-season the year Leeds went down either. It’s another reason why the decision to go to Forest as Ange did was so bonkers.
ye but have u considered
