15 days agoHills near me (northern Scotland) were once magma chambers underneath volcanoes! That’s how worn down they are. Wild to think about, and makes some lovely granite.

That invasion began in 2014…
It marked the beginning of the Russo-Ukrainian war.

There’s speculation that that is something Trump and the Republicans are after, with some evidence to support that theory.
There’s zero evidence to support New Labour will attempt the same. This is just tin foil pulled out your arse conspiracy, which aids nobody but the fascists. Don’t let the bastards win, don’t spread unfounded conspiracies.
Only two elections have ever been cancelled in our history, both during world wars. Both times the ruling party didn’t keep control but instead a coalition government of varying parties was formed. The strategy of cancelling elections to keep power in the UK therefore doesn’t work, has no evidence to support it, and the ruling party don’t have the public support to even attempt let alone pull off.

Yeah but that’s because you’re using logic, reasoning, and commonly understood meanings of words. In Kid Starver’s authoritarian mind none of those things matter.
The Party told you to reject the evidence of your eyes and ears. It was their final, most essential command. His heart sank as he thought of the enormous power arrayed against him, the ease with which any Party intellectual would overthrow him in debate, the subtle arguments which he would not be able to understand, much less answer. And yet he was in the right! They were wrong and he was right. The obvious, the silly, and the true had got to be defended. Truisms are true, hold on to that! The solid world exists, its laws do not change. Stones are hard, water is wet, objects unsupported fall towards the earth’s centre.

I can, and will, hate both the game and the players.
The players at the top know exactly what they’re doing.
If me, a fucking nobody who reads while taking a shit, in between working all the time to pay the bills can understand what’s going on. There’s no way the richest in society, with the most leisure time and access to the world’s greatest educators etc, don’t.
I do believe, you may in fact, perhaps, be a nerd.
You don’t happen to have a simple how-to or wiki for these services do you?
Official documentation is all well and good but sometimes it can be a nightmare to follow and understand (Nextcloud for example had me pulling my hair) for us mere nerdlings that haven’t achieved full nerdhood yet.
And even then, they generally don’t wanna watch amateurs, semi-pro, or low league pros. Can only be the national/world leagues or nothing at all.
Almost as if they don’t really care about sport but instead are using it as a means to be part of a group, to have a cultural link with others. A shame sport culture is mostly brainrot pundits constantly waffling shite like “they really wanted to win this one” as if they’re not trying to win every time. No moment of silence and just watching the spectacle allowed. Constant punditry, hours of pointless analysis before and after every game.
Not to mention the constant hype as if each match is the most important of all time
Watching amateur sport is far more interesting IMO. Less predictable, more exciting, no bullshit punditry, more passion for the sport.
US created? What a load of horse shit.
During the 1945 United Nations Conference on International Organization, Szeming Sze, a delegate from the Republic of China, conferred with Norwegian and Brazilian delegates on creating an international health organization under the auspices of the new United Nations.
The first meeting of the World Health Assembly finished on 24 July 1948, having secured a budget of US$5 million (then £1,250,000) for the 1949 year. G. Brock Chisholm [Canadian] was appointed director-general of the WHO, having served as executive secretary and a founding member during the planning stages,[22][19] while Andrija Štampar [Croatian] was the assembly’s first president.
Anti-status quo in rhetoric doesn’t mean they are in reality.
In the same vein, never let them out of a junction out of politeness. They have enough privilege in their life, they can wait.
Banged up Corsa? Out you come, you’ve places to go.
Boring Ford Mondeo? Sure, I’ll be nice.
Land Rover Evoque Sport? Get fucked, I’ve got right of way.
The Great in Great Britain is a geographical term though, not a propaganda one.
It’s the largest island of the British Isles.
The Greco-Egyptian scientist Ptolemy referred to the larger island as great Britain (μεγάλη Βρεττανία megale Brettania) and to Ireland as little Britain (μικρὰ Βρεττανία mikra Brettania) in his work Almagest (147–148 AD).[29]

You may think it makes him look like an ass, but to an ass he looks like their kind of guy.
Case in point: Donald Ass Trump
Balls is not the correct description for resigning in shame after being publicly outed as a paedophile…
The guy who called Trump “Daddy” is the right guy?
Funny how the same doesn’t happen when X hosts CSAM though… Money truly can do miracles
Unless McDonalds do croissants, he wouldn’t
224·3 months agoI’m afraid the diagnosis isn’t good. You may wish to take seat.
Now before I begin, I want to reassure you that despite this being really serious, it’s not incurable.
Unfortunately, you’ve got a clear case of Microsoft Windows. Many people do manage to live long and fulfilling lives with Microsoft Windows however the good news is there is a cure available, if you wish to undergo treatment.
If you want more information on the available treatments then there’s a pamphlet available here.

Unfortunately apart from being a cheeky lil shit I have no other information to help you, sorry. Good luck and may this comment give your post a lil bump up the feed!
MBFC is a load of horse shit.

Versus Wikipedia:
Politico (stylized in all caps), known originally as The Politico, is an American political digital newspaper company founded by American banker and media executive Robert Allbritton in 2007.[4]
In 2021, Politico was reportedly acquired for over $1 billion by Axel Springer SE, a German news publisher and media company.[6] Axel Springer SE’s CEO Mathias Dopfner said that Politico employees would be required to adhere to the company’s principles of support for Israel’s right to exist, support for a United Europe and a free-market economy.[7]
In 2024, Politico was handed leaked confidential materials from the Donald Trump presidential campaign. Politico confirmed that the documents were authentic but refused to report on their contents. The Associated Press wrote that the decision by Politico to not report on the Trump campaign leaks stands “in marked contrast” to Politico’s extensive reporting on the leaked email communications of Hillary Clinton’s 2016 campaign manager, John Podesta.[110]
An investigation by The Intercept, The Nation, and DeSmog found that Politico is one of the leading media outlets that publishes advertising for the fossil fuel industry while failing to adequately distinguish between independent journalism and native advertising.[111] Journalists who cover climate change for Politico are concerned that conflicts of interest with the companies and industries that cause climate change, obstruct action, and engage in greenwashing through sponsored content will reduce the credibility of their reporting on climate change and cause readers to be misinformed.[111]

Axel Springer SE (German: [ˈaksl̩ ˈʃpʁɪŋɐ ɛsˈeː]) is a European multinational mass and online media company, based in Berlin, Germany.
with numerous multimedia news brands, such as Bild, Die Welt, Fakt, and the US political news site Politico, which Axel Springer acquired in 2021.[5]
The company generated total revenues of about €3.93 billion and an EBITDA increase of 12.8% in the first half of 2023.[6][7] Following US private-equity firm KKR’s majority-stake acquisition in 2020, Axel Springer’s revenues have increased by a total of approximately €1 billion.[8][9][10] The company, including its subsidiaries, joint ventures, and licenses, operates in more than 40 countries.
In the United States, Axel Springer is ranked among the top four digital publishers, alongside USA Today, News Corp, and The New York Times.[6]
Gudrun Kruip, a scholar associated with the Stiftung Bundespräsident-Theodor-Heuss-Haus, has claimed that Axel Springer SE, along with its subsidiaries, exhibits a pro-American stance, often omitting criticism of US foreign policy.[60] This observation is then backed by allegations made by two former CIA officers in an interview with The Nation, claiming that Axel Springer received $7 million from the CIA.[61] The purpose of this funding, they allege, was to influence the publisher to align its editorial content with American geopolitical interests.[61] Although no conclusive evidence has come to light, Springer’s admission in his autobiography regarding the financial challenges faced at the outset of his publishing venture, suggesting the necessity of external funding for the company’s rapid growth led Kruip to believe that the allegations of CIA financial support are credible.[60] As of 2001, the Axel Springer SE names “solidarity with the libertarian values of the United States of America” as one of its core principles on its website.[62] This explicit stance has led to critiques from scholars and independent observers regarding the company’s perceived alignment with American interests.[60][63][64][65][66] Furthermore, an article in Foreign Policy has critiqued Axel Springer SE for a history of compromising journalistic ethics to support right-wing causes, implying a longstanding pattern of bias in its publications.[67]
