We are NOT talking enough about the fact that Donald trump is a child-raping pedophile. We simply are NOT. It is just INSANE to me that we are expected to just go about our business when everyone knows that the president* of the United States raped children.
Olivia Dean watched her 2025 world tour disappear in just four minutes. Hours later, greedy resellers flooded the internet with tickets priced at $1,200, a brutal 400% markup targeting loyal fans.
She reacted instantly. Olivia partnered with a secure fan-to-fan platform, enforced strict price caps, and cancelled every ticket listed above original value without hesitation.
That decision wiped out an estimated $2.5 million in reseller fees. By 2026, ethical touring became industry standard because one artist refused to exploit her own community.
We post daily wisdom for women.
Came out to my mom in 1999.
She listened to me without interruption.
After that She started
Mom: „I am just afraid that…“
Me: „Please, not the AIDS fear.“
Mom: „AIDS? You were always very clear about safer sex. Your straight big brother on the other side… No I am afraid.. 1/2
she’s absolutely right. we all saw how the internet treated connor and hudson, they never faced any of the homophobia, racism, and body shaming that ariana and cynthia did eventhough their relationship is practically the same
So, jokes aside, to understand why the heat is worse in the UK than say Arizona for example, the answer is quite long...
First it's the Humidity, it's far higher here.
The UK's island location and prevailing south-westerly winds bring moist sea air, so heatwaves are often humid rather than dry.
In contrast, many of the hottest US states (e.g., Arizona, Nevada, New Mexico) have dry desert heat where sweat evaporates quickly, so you actually feel cooler despite higher temperatures.
Even humid US regions (like the Southeast) usually have widespread air conditioning to offset it.
Second, the buildings and Infrastructure that we have all are designed to Trap Heat, not Release It.
UK homes are built for cold, damp winters: thick brick/stone walls, heavy insulation, small windows, and designs that retain warmth.
During a heatwave, they turn into ovens, solar gain through windows builds up, and there is poor ventilation or passive cooling features like overhangs, shutters, or light-coloured roofs.
Plus, poor air conditioning: Only about 5% of UK homes have AC (vs. ~90% in the US).
It's not standard because it's rarely needed most of the year, but during spikes it's a nightmare.
Also, retrofitting is expensive and tricky in old terraced houses or listed buildings.
This extended to public transport, schools, offices, and even hospitals as they often lack cooling.
Finally, most importantly, we have zero acclimatisation.
Meaning it's just as hot at night as it is during the day.
Britons aren't physiologically or culturally used to sustained heat.
We're properly white!
So, a sudden jump from typical UK summer temps feels extreme, and the body struggles more without gradual adaptation.
Heatwaves often bring "tropical nights" (temps staying above 20 °C), so homes don't cool down overnight.
You can't sleep, recover, or anything which just compounds fatigue, dehydration, etc.
Drier US heat often cools significantly at night.
That is all topped up with the fact that we have longer summer daylight at the UK's higher latitude meaning more hours of solar heating.
Hope this long explanation that no one wanted clears this right up...
It beggars belief how many people would be prepared to vote for a party (I use the term loosely) without the first idea of what they stand for other than ‘Stop the boats’. 🤷♂️
Retweet far and wide.
People retweeting this asking why we don’t do this anymore and it’s because there’s freaks who record you and then will make fun of you online for having fun
WOW: 🇺🇸 A pop-up has just opened up in New York, displaying every single page/timeline of the Epstein files.
Anyone can now walk in and read by themselves.
100 years. He's seen this planet change I'm ways very few of us alone can understand and has stood steadfast in preaching about environmental conservation being vital to human survival, while technocrats like Altman, Thiel and O'Leary are doing everything to make sure we don't.
