The US has such great potential to be a fantastic country. A brilliant diverse, skilled and talented population. So sad watching it all be torn up by an egotistical maniac with more money than sense. Brainwashing the masses into his cult. I hope his cult wake-up and see through the charlatan.

Great work by InternBot537!

I'm sure the dead man's family were suitably impressed

“Like I said, some people will die. When you go to war, some people will die.”

New US security strategy aligns with Russia's vision, Moscow says The Kremlin welcomes the starkly worded document, which does not cast Russia as a threat to the US.

Great British Railways flies the flag as logo goes back to the future Livery for renationalised railway features red, white and blue alongside familiar double arrow symbol No matter how much train fares cost under Great British Railways, no one can accuse the government of wasting money on an expensive redesign. The logo, branding and livery for the impending renationalised and reformed railway will be unveiled by ministers at London Bridge on Tuesday. It is red, white and, yes, blue. Continue reading...

Great British Railways flies the flag as logo goes back to the future

Aligns with my intuition, even if it does sound bonkers to this 80s lad.

It's called American Exceptionalism 2. Strap in, Canada 😬

Graphic for The Lucan Obsession, featuring Lord Lucan, the Houses of Parliament, and a roulette wheel.

Fifty years ago, a possibly mistaken murder and the disappearance of a playboy aristocrat gripped the nation. My documentary The Lucan Obsession starts this lunchtime at 1.45pm on BBC Radio 4. Or you can binge all 10 eps (they’re only 15 mins each) on BBC Sounds now. www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/m...

#7: Saints 3-0 Sparta Prague, Europa League, 15 Sep 2016

Our Group K campaign made a great start, with Charlie “Parklife” Austin bagging 2 goals. But two poor draws against Hapoel Be’er Sheva would later cost us a place in the knockout stages.

We need online communities that are safe and inclusive. We can build them with care, joy, and justice.

Wow. Really? Christ almighty they need to grow up a bit over the pond, don't they?

Twitter's new feature that reveals where accounts originate doesn't reveal many surprises.

Er... Lads could be forgiven for thinking the way to make the unreasonable Russians reasonable is to... Smash them all the way back into their own borders?

Too simple? Perhaps it'll dawn on the grownups eventually 🙄

And that, my dears, is a classic snakebite puncture 😥

Almost new tube too. Annoying. #commuting

Twitter accounts are based in Russia. BlueSky accounts are based in homes with, frankly, too many books, plants, obsolete cables, and pieces of rustic pottery, that could do with a bit of a tidying up, to be honest.

Watch out for those hate reads, they'll bring you down..
