@allhailtwit I used my grandfather’s 1932 Falk Plan for my first visit to Berlin in 1983 (and several times after).

@MattCundill @StuntmanStu A lot of strangers going through your house if you’re the GG.

The highest quality video of the moon was just released… this is so beautiful.

@StuntmanStu All morning, I’m listening to the Good Friday road races: 417, Bronson from 417 to Baseline, Queen Elizabeth. Cameras, more patrols, stiffer penalties. Prove me wrong.

[Andreas Weichert @CdnWeichert]

@ThatEricAlper Still have it in the “useful things” box downstairs. Might even have two.

[Andreas Weichert @CdnWeichert]

Yay team 🇺🇦! This would be unbelievably challenging!

Incredible footage showing the crew of a Ukrainian Yak-52 shooting down a Russian Shahed drone using small arms.

@StuntmanStu But surely a chili dog is NOT a hot dog. It is a chili dog. (I do notice the absence of guac and sour creme).

@StuntmanStu Dirt used the two tin cans and string method, though strictly speaking that was not “wireless” tech!

@allhailtwit Allan, I hang on to X for a few accounts like yours, thank you for your posts. I first visited Berlin in 1983, family ties go further back (Opa lived there in 1945, survived the Soviets, helped clear the Bunker; Gr.Uncle’s appt seized by Soviets as temp HQ - some great stories!)

@StuntmanStu Mustard for me, preferably a good sharp Dijon.

[Andreas Weichert @CdnWeichert]

@Amazingeye6 I could , but would then regret it.

[Andreas Weichert @CdnWeichert]

@StuntmanStu I used this to developed a love of classical music in my kids in the noughts. It worked!

[Andreas Weichert @CdnWeichert]

@EricIdle Anytime is a good time!

The Moldovan people have spoken. Sunday’s election results are clear: the Moldovans are united in our desire for peace, democracy, and Europe — and in the courage to defend them.

This is not just a party’s victory — it is Moldova’s victory. The European path is our way forward.

[Kaja Kallas @kajakallas]

Moldova’s vote is a clear yes to a European future.

Despite Russia’s massive efforts to spread disinformation and buy votes, no force can stop a people committed to freedom.

We stand with Moldova on their path to the EU.

In Russia, cemeteries of "Special Military Operation heroes" are being destroyed

In Yakutsk, a woman went to visit her brother's grave, who had died in the war in Ukraine, but the cemetery no longer exists: everything was leveled with a grader, the plaques are gone, and the area has been flattened as if nothing ever existed. According to her, the authorities plan to create a "Walk of Fame" on the site.

The state is erasing traces, acting as if nothing happened- "Vanya? What Vanya? Vanya never existed." Convenient for statistics, and so that thousands of graves with tricolors don't offend the patriotic public.

[Kaja Kallas @kajakallas]

Russia has not broken Ukraine’s resolve.
It is not breaking ours either.

We now have met 80% of our 2 million rounds of ammunition target.
We aim for 100% by October.

@UnrealBluegrass When I was 13, a friend’s father played me the original 10“ LPs, Songs by and More Songs by. I was hooked, memorized it all, performed them often at High School and University and randomly at parties. 97, not a bad age for a self-described grumpy old satirist. 💔
