@_____CASTORA@Lordmiles Your idea of fixing the problem on a sinking boat with holes in it is to empty the water with buckets faster instead of plugging the holes.
@isfjcutebear I’m thankful for all the times I got to visit Japan and got to experience everything that made it amazing. It opened my eyes and helped me gain perspective on a lot of issues. I will miss you as much as I miss England before it fell into its current state.
Timeline of events today:
🇮🇱 Israel strikes Beirut, Lebanon.

JUST IN: 🇺🇸🇮🇱 President Trump says he is not happy with Israel's initial attacks in Beirut, Lebanon which were not coordinated with US.
"A deal would have been signed on Monday, Tuesday, or maybe Wednesday, but now this has happened."

The uniparty showed its face today...
@japan_nobunaga The older I get, the more I realize every successful gathering depends on one person quietly taking responsibility for something. This story captures that perfectly.
It’s all talk. Just withhold foreign aid to Israel for a month and they’ll stop bombing their neighbors - instant peace, the Strait of Hormuz can be opened, and gas drops $2 a gallon. Israel has been, and continues to be, the biggest welfare recipient from American tax payers.
I ordered one pancake in America. The waitress wrote it down and said, "one short stack."
Short. I am a small and humble man. A short stack sounded perfect for me. I waited with a calm heart.
She returned carrying three pancakes, each the size of my face, stacked into a tower, with a block of butter on top sliding down the sides like slow lava.
This was the short one. I did not dare ask what the tall one looked like. Some knowledge a man is not ready for.
I ate for forty minutes. I was not full. I was afraid. The tower did not shrink. I am fairly sure it was growing back faster than I could eat it.
I had to surrender. I left half. In Japan, leaving food is a deep shame. So I leaned in close and apologized to the pancakes directly, in a low voice, one by one.
The waitress asked if I wanted a box. I did not know food could be taken into custody. I declined. I did not want it following me home.
In America, is the short stack truly the small one?
I need time to prepare my spirit before I ever face the tall one.
