"TV star", let's not get carried away.

So that's 18 mountains then.

Unless he means he climbed 'over' them.

I am not sure which is worse, the bio or the synopsis. Both are crimes against the English language.

If Danny Doughnut had been born in a hospital someone there could have offered much needed advice on his name.

I want to feel good that my gender didn't destroy the west (apparently) but I am too busy feeling bad that my gender contains David French.

I think you're only supposed to trace your family tree back to the point where you get an undeserved sense or racial purity.

If you have ancestors who were fighting against the Normans in 1066 you also have ancestors who were fighting for the Normans in 1066.

You probably also have Roman and Viking ancestors. We are a mongrel nation.

The only governing parties have been Conservative and Labour for over a hundred years. Now they've both managed to become irrelevant in a single election cycle. Incredible!

I got very lucky, after my second guess there was only 1 possible word left.

It's not just about the messenger.

You've got to have the right message.

US boat strikes are crimes against humanity, says former ICC prosecutor

The Trump administration has sought to justify the strikes by saying it is in an armed conflict with drugs gangs.

That would be an excellent first step. Both Donald Trump and Pete Hegseth should face trial for the destruction of suspected drug boats without evidence or attempt to detain non-lethally.

But I don't think America will ever be truly trusted again.

I find it funny how presenters in the UK say:"isn't Green Party meant to be just about the environment." Like it's a difficult concept that environmental justice and social & economic justice go together.
Coming from a Nordic country, this doesn't sound 'radical' at all, just very common sense.

When this administration is over the US will spend the next generation apologizing to the rest of the world.

I think part of the reason of the government shutdown is to stop a vote to release the Epstien files.

Millions of people starving to cover up the fact that the President of the United States is a child molester

Colin Payne🇬🇧💛💙🇪🇺🇺🇦💚 @minophis.bsky.social · 9h

No doubt and the idea the Epstien was killed to keep these secrets seems very likely. But I think this cannot be covered up forever it is too big and to public to be covered up.

We are going to have to rely on age and LDL cholesterol.

Trump hasn't got long left and MAGA is a cult of personality centred around him. When he goes he will leave a power vacuum nobody can fill and MAGA will tear itself apart.

One day we will be reading the most anticipated obituary ever.

I have serious questions about the intelligence and sanity of those who were never involved with these sickening acts but are trying aid the cover up out of loyalty to Trump. This will come to light and the consiquences for anyone who tried to cover it up will be dire.

This will come to light eventually, it is unavoidable. They should be thinking about the consequences of trying to aid a cover-up of child trafficking and molestation when Trump is gone.

Three things cannot be long hidden the sun the moon and the truth.

The world saw him stand at a podium and give a nazi salute. They saw him cut federally funded aid to the most vulnerable people in the world and then joke about it. He has threatened to cut starlink to Ukraine and so much more

He is toxic to any company associated with him.

Did he ever get rid of the suntan? My Grandad had it till the day he died.

Colin Payne🇬🇧💛💙🇪🇺🇺🇦💚 @minophis.bsky.social · 1d

My Grandad was antifa all across north Africa and then at Sword beach.

It's the fifth letter of my starting word.
