You and I were among the last generation ... well, you were, you're younger than I.

Soon as I heard the peace plan, I asked the same question. And I think you know the answer: he'll start hurling bombs at innocent people in Genocide part 3, and accuse Hamas of renaging on the deal.

Yes, but in a couple of years, Joelinton is going to start slowing down, and Anderson isn't.

@lancethepants.bsky.social The OP is IRONIC. And you are MORONIC.

Lance The Pants @lancethepants.bsky.social · 18h

This woman is a trump supporter you moron. She's also pro-israel and wants the US to invade Venezuela. She publicly thanked trump after winning

@midnucas.bsky.social

And you are so American that you can't understand the Ironic meaning of my post.
So: Trump will explode because HE doesn't see that SHE is one of his acolytes (look the word up).

You guys are so pathetically committed to making yourselves feel superior to Trump that, in a record-breaking fit of willful ignorance, you're falling over yourselves to pretend like Machado isn't the top cheerleader of him splattering her countrymen's fishing boats bsky.app/profile/midn...

Blue MAGA are such morons that for the sake of feeling pettily superior to Donald Trump who keeps kicking their asses, they will engage in a fantasy that eraes María Corina Machado fucking cheering and drooling at him splattering her compatriots' fishing boats

Western backed oligarch "fights for democracy." You are a special kind of stupid.

Notable for the amazing acoustic guitar instrumental by Jim Cregan, once the powerhouse guitarist in Family.

You evidently don't understand the mechanisms of songwriting!

What fettle, bonnie lass?

John D. Lewis @johndlewis.bsky.social · 1d

YESSSSS! I thought that. Sort of more "breathy" and softer and (I think she thinks) "seductive".

Wait for it! There will be a Trumplosion any minute as he learns a woman who fights for democracy and against dictatorships has won the #Nobel Peace Prize. #r4today

Starmer's Government looks like an episode of the old BBC comedy, "The Men from the Ministry," where Deryck Guyler and Richard Murdoch blundered around Whitehall with stupid ideas.
Pubs being allowed much longer hours has a fatal flaw—the cost of staffing pubs for those extra hours. #r4today

@leeryder.bsky.social and his Wrongicle colleagues must be quaking in their hobnails. The Pope has condemned clickbait. #NUFC

What IS this thing with Americans answering a question with "I wanna say"?

Q: How old are you?
A: I wanna say 650.
Q: You can't be 650 years old.
A: I know, I just wanted to say that.

Fox News is showing how it views the world. It has this YouTube page with "LIVE WEBCAMS around the world | October 9".

Every single camera shows the USA.

Aubergines: but you Americans have to make everything as simple as possible for Magas, so you call them egg plants. Which is strange cos I've never seen a hen lay an egg that shape.

Howay, Ed. 108 hours, Israel shells Gaza killing dozens after Hamas member calls Bibi a shit!

John D. Lewis @johndlewis.bsky.social · 1d

The word is "Whoa". Woah is a slang spelling of the word. And you're a journalist????

John D. Lewis @johndlewis.bsky.social · 1d

#r4today presenters are so self-obsessed that the questions get longer and longer (love of the sound of their own voices) and the answers get shorter and more interrupted by the presenter (see above).

And so it begins: the slow but almost certain collapse of the #Gaza peace deal as the Israeli Jews in the Israeli Government start the rollback to ensure there is no deal.
