So let me get this straight: Iran not only refuses further negotiations, it doesn't even bother to show up, is keeping the Strait of Hormuz blocked -- and Donald Trump, after all the bravado, threats of extermination, and chest-thumping, just extends the truce, does nothing, and waits for the regime to “submit their proposal”?
If that’s not a humiliating fiasco and a display of complete weakness, I don’t know what is.
Hello, Moon. It’s great to be back.
Here’s a taste of what the Artemis II astronauts photographed during their flight around the Moon. Check out more photos from the mission: https://t.co/rzM1P0QbOl
Passengers on a commercial flight captured the launch of Artemis II on camera
The plane happened to pass near the launch trajectory at the exact moment of liftoff, giving passengers a rare view of the rocket launch right from their windows.
I don’t know if you know but… it’s Prostate Cancer Awareness Month.
I have been reading about @chrishoy this week and he has inspired me to post this.
Cancer is not a nice word. It sends fear into most people and so many of us are touched by it either directly or indirectly.
Last July I had a prostate screening blood test at the Canon Medical Arena in Sheffield. My dad has had prostate cancer before and now it’s back. His experience has made me far more aware of the risks and the worries so visiting the @LivingCareGroup centre felt like £15 and 15 minutes well spent.
They had 200 appointments available - all subsidised by a local charity. I posted on my social media and spent much of the day reading through the thousands of comments.
There were so many people who were struggling to get an appointment with their doctor and they just wanted that level of reassurance that comes from a simple medical test.
There were hundreds of comments about the need for a national screening programme and many more were pointing to the fact that 1 in 8 men will get prostate cancer at some point in their lives.
One email stood out above everything else for me. I have read it quite a few times.
Dear Dan,
I would like to thank you so much for talking about your visit in Sheffield for an inexpensive PSA test.
My husband lost his paternal grandfather to prostrate cancer and his cousin has terminal prostrate cancer. Although my husband used to have tests, he hasn't over the last 10 years.
Your post prompted him to go along to Living Care and take the test. After a second PSA test, an ultrasound and an MRI scan, he has been diagnosed with prostrate cancer.
It was quite a shock, but had you not posted about it that day, I don't know when he would have got tested and the cancer may have been found, not just at a later stage, but at a catastrophically later stage, like his cousin.
Obviously, it's still a worry, but I’d like to thank you from the bottom of my heart for the nudge you gave him, giving him a better chance of survival.
Yours, truly gratefully…
That for me is what Prostate Cancer Awareness Month is all about. It’s about helping each other. It’s about people like this lovely lady and her husband.
It’s about simple tests.
It’s about changing lives and saving lives.
@ProstateUK
Now, seriously - the President of the United States of America is visibly losing his mind, just live on TV. Every day it’s getting worse, more erratic, more unhinged, is anyone going to do anything about this at all?
PEOPLE, HE’S RAPIDLY LOSING HIS MIND. HELLO?!
🚨🇺🇸🇷🇺 RUSSIA FM LAVROV: CRIMEA IS RUSSIA'S GREENLAND
Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov compared Russia's occupation of Crimea to Greenland, claiming Crimea is "no less important for Russia's security than Greenland is for the United States."
Repeated the Kremlin line that Crimeans "decided their fate themselves in a referendum."
Reminder: Crimea was taken by troops without insignia, officials were swapped at gunpoint, and the “referendum” happened under occupation with no option to stay Ukrainian.
This is what people are worried about: Trump's ambition for Greenland legitimizes China taking Taiwan and Russia keeping Ukraine.
When the U.S. president threatens military force to acquire allied territory, every authoritarian on earth takes notes.

"If you're 100% with me, you're a saint. If you're 100% against me, you’re the devil."
Reflecting on her guest edit of the Today Programme, former Prime Minister Theresa May says she fears that society has become too polarised to have respectful debates about politics.
So @vuehelp appears to not be much help... Checking your gift card balance online is all you have to do to keep any balance from expiring. Trouble is, it doesn't say this on the gift card itself so I didn't know.
My balance has now expired and @VueHelp say they can't help.
Any reasonable company would understand this and made a goodwill gesture & reinstated my balance, after all this is money that has been paid to @vuecinemas for which they haven't given me anything in return. Well done @VueHelp, as you think differently you've lost my custom now!
In reality what @@vuehelp means is they are unwilling to help, not that they CANNOT help.
If I had been aware that an online balance check would have reset the expiry back another year, I clearly would have done that.
