A huge fuck-you to Brexshit, Trumpism, Erdoğan and other populist BS, but esp. to Putler/ruZZia! 🖕🤬🖕
@beardedguy50 I remember paying already a couple of years ago £18 for small cod & chips + small fish cake, and that was at a totally unremarkable chippy in rural Wales.
As much as I like it, I don't eat it very often, so I expect next time I do it'll be well over £20.
@Nightisnotday45 Minä taas kuulin pataljoonan hevosmiehiltä, että kymmenen tuhatta T-14 Armataa on jo lähtenyt liikkeelle kohti rintamaa. Ja heti perään tulee liukuhihnoilta uusi uljas T-29 Armata, yli kaksi vuotta etuajassa! Kyllä nyt on tämä operatsiyooni jo taputeltu.
The constant banging on about DEI is an infuriating American import into the UK.
In the UK we call it EDI. And EDI training is essentially summed up like this:
‘Don’t be a knob to other people, and realise some people face barriers you don’t.’
It’s not some woke conspiracy.
Unfortunately, the Russian side once again chooses war – everyone heard the response today. Weak response. He simply does not want to end the war.
I think many around the world were disappointed by that response. He does not want to change anything, and he does not want to admit that this war appeals only to him – and to those who are making money off him. They were all smiling very broadly today.
That means Russia must have less money, and there must be more pressure on Russia.
I thank everyone who is helping us. I thank everyone who stands with Ukraine and wants a real peace.
Caolan Robertson is probably the best investigative journalist on X right now - follow him!
Also huge thanks to NAFO and Irish investigative journalists digging deeper into this case.
Rusal needs to go!
Sweden and Finland have pushed back after the NHL said Russian players could take part in the 2027 All-Star Game as members of the World team, an RG source said.
The dispute now adds another layer to Russia’s unresolved 2028 World Cup status.

@MartinSLewis I have it on good authority that 'cheese & onion' is actually 'sweaty feet', but apparently some focus group research seemed to suggest that 'cheese & onion' would sell better so they went with that.
@RockOla69 Siinäpä filosofinen kysymys – mikä on bensa-asema jolla ei ole bensaa? Jättömaa jossa hieman ongelmajätettä? Bensa-aseman mädäntynyt irvikuva?

Not to mention, per-capita power and water consumption has increased at least ten-fold in the intervening 90 years.
