Yes Prime Minister was right. We can't fire Trident without US launch codes, cancel it, put the money into conventional/drone/cyber/logistics forces, both soft and hard power, replace student loans with national service in any of those areas, and use that to drive both security and growth.

Elon Musk spent Thanksgiving with Trump instead of his family and Trump sat next to Musk during the feast instead of his wife Melania Trump. Musk hasn't left Trump's side since the election, questions are arising if he'll be living at the White House after January.

It will probably come as no surprise to anyone to hear that Elon Musk has now admitted that X (formerly Twitter) is throttling link-based posts, essentially stifling news articles on the social media platform. Thankfully we now have @bsky.app

OMG this is amazing. From 2019:

“More than 10,000 people in the constituency of Saffron Walden have signed a petition to revoke Article 50 and remain the EU - the highest number of signatures in Essex - but MP Kemi Badenoch says ‘we run the country based on elections and not petitions’.” 🤣 😂 🤣
Kemi is not good enough

READ THIS: How Amsterdam became the bicycle capital of the world

In the 1960s, Dutch cities saw cars as the transport of the future. It took the intolerable toll of child traffic deaths – and fierce activism – to turn #Amsterdam into the cycling nirvana of today. www.theguardian.com/cities/2015/...

How many times do I need to say this?

These are not expats, they are immigrants.

You don’t “expat” somewhere, you emigrate, and that makes you an immigrant.

I have never heard anyone refer to “Bangladeshi Expats” or “Polish Expats”, it’s always immigrants, so why not here?

Having just spent the last half hour shopping for the ideal outfit on cyberpunk while sitting irl in my pajamas I can confirm that this is true.
One thing that micro-transactions in video games have proven irrefutably is that men also want to spend a bunch of money on little outfits, and society had failed them in finding a way to express it.

Apparently some old white dude in America doesn't like spicy food. And somehow this is news, not just a standard meme about mayonnaise.
