Apologies in advance - but I am, from today, only following back real accounts e.g. people who have made original posts. Apart from all that I’m ordinary and sometimes have principles. I work in the arts and am a former journalist.

Gladys Mae West obituary: mathematician who pioneered GPS technology She made key contributions to US cold-war science despite facing huge barriers as a Black woman.

No joke: I got angry hate mail today for writing an obituary of a Black woman scientist—because the person felt she did didn’t deserve the recognition.

Which just makes me want to share it again: www.nature.com/articles/d41...

Great win by Manchester United reminiscent of the Ferguson era especially the furious counter attack for the first goal. Mind you it does FUp my FPL. But so what. Good on you Michael Carrick

Before the Munster Rugby fans slag off Leinster, we need to remember that Leinster is in Ireland. As was Diarmait Mac Murchada’s Leinster’s when he invited Norman mercenaries to invade Ireland 800 years ago so he could be King.

@daznboxing.bsky.social I wonder would Jake Paul consider fighting a contemporary champion?
I’m sure, if the money was right, Katie Taylor would teach him a few lessons in the savage square.

Well at least it fecks up his push for a peace prize. Whoops, forgot he has FIFA boss (Steve Miller clone) in his pocket.

Trump says he has ordered closure of Venezuelan airspace.
If they found rare metals in County Offaly (Ireland) would he do the same?

Trump also gave an unreasonable date for the withdrawal from Afghanistan which caused massive disruption and led to deaths during that period.

He has the empathy of a cockroach and the emotional intelligence of a dog biscuit.

Rest in peace Sarah and from up there help your family and loved ones.

Trump with the Saudi Prince and murderer, MBS, looking like a kid on Christmas Morning.

So MAGA, You see these two? One of them is your dear leader, the other is a Prince in a country where CHRISTIANITY IS BANNED. Where you can be arrested for being a CHRISTIAN, for displaying CHRISTIAN symbols and even, for having a bible.
But go ahead, tell me how much fucking MONEY he's investing.

Yup, makes sense. I alluded to it in my last post. Both Mexico and Colombia produce 30x more drugs than Venezuela. While Venezuela’s corrupt dictator (a Trump wannabe) is a stain on SAmerica - the real push against the country is because Trump’s mates, contacts and sponsors want the black gold.

And we beat Hungary 3-2 with Troy Parrott getting a hat trick! We are now into the playoffs for the World Cup (soccer).
And now back to unreality… why is Trump obsessed with Venezuela?
