@chris_croslin1 @elonmusk My ID basically came from the government…

@duolingo these were taken at 7:54, 7:59 and 8:02.
What language or whatever is Gillespie using that garners that number of XP in such a bewilderingly short space of time?
Makes it difficult to compete when I’ve been on for about 15 minutes and got max XP each level for 570

You know when a bully gets increasingly agitated because their normal bullying tactics don’t seem to be working? This quite a significant scale for that to be playing out…

@mrdanwalker H.I.R.I.H.
Just thought I’d get that in ‘early’ today. 🙌

[Nick Parish @Longingtobeholy]

This morning I read Luke 14, where Jesus warns against taking the place of honour. Then I read the news and saw that US banknotes will soon have @realDonaldTrump’s signature on. 🤷‍♂️

@krishk More than I’d like! 😜 happy memories of postal costs in the late 90s…

Hang on. I thought he told the UK not to bother because the war was already won…

@Telegraph I hope the article is better than the headline, because if it isn’t, one might wonder what the point of the @Telegraph is 🤣

[Nick Parish @Longingtobeholy]

@julesprichards Thanks (assuming you think back positively…). Must get around to publishing the book sometime. Hope you’re well.

Looks like Donald ‘I end wars’ Trump might have a busy day.

[Nick Parish @Longingtobeholy]

This has nothing to do with securing world peace and stability, and everything to do with self-serving interests.

[Nick Parish @Longingtobeholy]

The power he wields is deeply troubling both to many American citizens and to allies globally. He shows no real interest in others, save for what they can provide him with. His blinkered selfishness puts us all at increased risk, threatening to tear apart deep, historic ties.

[Nick Parish @Longingtobeholy]

If the @NobelPrize ended up awarding anything at all to the playground bully, @realDonaldTrump, it would be an utter travesty.
NATO isn’t about self-preservation of a single nation, but about the mutual support of the entire bloc.
There is nothing peaceful about bullying allies.

For the second time this week, I’m on my third cup of tea at around 7:00. 😴

[Nick Parish @Longingtobeholy]

The view from my current perch. Now to decide which jobs to tackle this morning… 😬

[Nick Parish @Longingtobeholy]

@eyecantalk Oh Chantal. Prayers for your family, for strength and peace this Christmas. 🙏 And cake with ample brandy. 💜

So @realDonaldTrump failed to bully Russia into stopping the war, so is now trying to bully Ukraine into capitulating…
I don’t understand how this is anything other than rewarding Russia for an armed invasion of another sovereign country.

[Nick Parish @Longingtobeholy]

Actually a bit heavy-hearted about Trump’s plan which simply hands chunks of Ukraine to an aggressor.
If Russia invaded the US, I don’t imagine he’d cede Alaska to end the war. So why is he pushing Ukraine to give up territory. Bullying your way to peace doesn’t seem peaceful…

[Nick Parish @Longingtobeholy]

Trump taking legal action over someone being economical with the truth. You couldn't make it up...

@BROKENBRITAIN0 No possessive apostrophe needed in ‘its’…
