No political twattery, cancel culture or general trolling please, pretty please.
BTW - I'm married, live in France and am unlikely to fall for online scams - for those that are trying to groom me!

For those not understanding what's at stake regarding the BBC:
This is the single most trusted broadcaster in the UK and across the globe.
But more than that, the programming they produce is without equal in its variety & quality.
I fear that people will only realise what they had, once it's gone.

Well of course we should listen to a guy that recommended injecting bleach and shining a bright light up your arse to defeat Covid...

My bro spent a day in hospital in France. Back in the UK, he asked me to translate a medical doc using AI. It was immediately apparent that it wasn't correct.
Asking the AI what doc it had translated, it admitted that it couldn't read my doc and so had translated a template it had found online....

Genuinely wish AI would create a Dog translator.
I really want to know why my Lab felt the need to roll on the dead, dessicated carcass of a mouse and why she spent 5 mins barking at a new tree stump in the forest this morning.
If I did these things I would be committed 😄

Violence can never be tolerated. Nobody deserves to be killed.
However, UK media coverage of a murder in the US is completely excessive.
Until 2 days ago the majority in the UK had not heard of Kirk. Why does his shooting deserve more airtime than Gaza or Ukraine? Or any other US gun shooting?

The Bruno criticism is harsh. Amorim should have subbed him.
My concern with Bruno is that he's 30 years old, in a position that does not suit him, while Mainoo is 20 years old and that position DOES suit him.
Anyone considered Bruno at RWB? there are already another 4 defenders back there...

I love Bruno but I worry if he is one of the midfield 2. His passing can be so careless.
People criticise the defence & Onana for the goal in the Europa final but it's not mentioned that we were put on the back foot by a sloppy pass in our middle 3rd.
A Wharton or Baleba with Kobbie for me.

It always baffles me how invested US voters are in their "Leaders", hearing raucous cheers and screams of love and affection. For decades, not just the current magats.
I've never seen anything like this in the UK or France.
Nobody ever screamed, "I love you Boris", not even his wife.

Police training in most developed countries is 2-3 years.
In the US its ~21 weeks.
Anyone know how long to become an ice agent these days?
I assume just long enough to mash an ink covered fist on the contract and be issued a mask

A new "America party" makes a lot of sense as Nazi Musk is way more popular than Putin-puppet Trump.
Seriously, the US needs a new party like a hole in the head. Though hilarious that Musk can't read the room.

When people in the US talk about "freedoms" that they have that most Europeans don't; which freedoms are they referring to? Which freedoms do they think we don't have?
Or do you think the social democracies in western Europe are a form of dictator driven communism?

Are the enough decent people in the US that can win an election without needing some of the current conservative voters to switch sides? 1/2
