I always found the 4th Reich / EUSSR talk incredibly insulting ... that alone is, in my book, enough to op to keep the UK outside as long as it takes to make them see how wrong that was.

And I am getting so fed up with folks saying we need to do is wait till November 2026 🙄 This administration damages the US and its people every, single, hour.

I really hoped it would last, and for a while after 1989 I thought it could. The way things look now, I expect conscription to return to Europe before my (possible) grand kids will be 18. Well before that, I think.

I was called for military service in 1984, my brother served from 1979-1981. My father & his younger brother were conscripted 1946-1948. My grand-father ... you get the picture: every generation since the early 1800's. My Millenial / GenZ kids were the first generation who didn't have to.

Few movements in Western democracies have waged war on women as relentlessly as MAGA has in the US.

They're a coalition of incels, patriarchal conservatives & religious fundamentalists led by a man accused of sexual abuse by dozens of women.

The Trump Administration are violent, toxic misogynists.

Double tap in case he's still alive?

Full 1985 "Internet vibes" here in 1641 🤭

I think we are very much in a "the printing press is going to destroy the Labour market for scribes & is going to flood the public with nonsensical conspiracies"-phase. Of course, it did do all those things, but didn't end the world or civilization ... although 1618-1648 must have felt like it did.

It's getting more and more evident the UK badly needs a new Dutch invasion ... by invitation ... of course.😜

I admit ... I come from a long line of handweavers 🤭
