The missing Presidents are hysterical but someone should have ask, to his face, the different in his criteria between "Great" and "Average". Also, this would destroy any other administration. At no point, in American history would ranking George Washington as third, beneath you, be acceptable.

It’s not up to this fool to decide. The rules of when to call a referendum on a United Ireland are in the Good Friday Agreement. It’s a peace treaty. So respect it. Or is that impossible for an English Prime Minister?

I know this isn't terrorism. You know this isn't terrorism. The authorities know this isn't terrorism. But, once again, they have labelled protesters "terrorists", as part of the long-running programme to ensure that no one dares protest about anything any more. www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2026...

We Own It@weownit.org.uk · yesterday90% of countries in the world run their water in public ownership Even here in the UK, Scotland's water is in public ownership - and they pay less for their water, invest more in their infrastructure, and pay £0 in dividends We are not asking for too much. We want what Scotland has.
Discussions of how to build greater climate resilience finally hits a key set of points seemingly not understood by right wingers: big carbon nations like the US disproportionately caused the problems then cut aid to poorer small carbon nations. Irresponsible ignorance of displaced impacts.
I presume Steven Pinker et al. will be signing the inevitable petition to protect this academic’s freedom?
Ireland would be better off United, Scotland would be better off as an Independent Country. Its just a matter of time.
Yet another. 150 years and every single PM of every hue has got this wrong. They’re not just consumed by nostalgia but also incapable of learning anything from their country’s own history. Congenitally stupid.
Nothing will rally Irish people around a Border Poll quicker, than an out of touch British PM telling us what we can't have one. www.newstalk.com/podcasts/hig...

What triggered Nepal flash floods? Glacier collapse so powerful it registered as an earthquake
Nepal flash floods triggered by glacier collapse that registered as earthquake
Signal detected by monitors for seismic activity actually came from the force of ‘glacial collapse and debris flow’, says USGS

El-Sayed on Trump’s tariffs on Canada, "You gotta be an a**hole to pick a trade war with Canada, they're the nicest people on earth"
The fallout from the collapse of this glacier - a torrent of mud surging down the valley - killed hundreds of people. Gone, in a flash. Those people were wiped out by anthropogenic climate change. Our governments are simply not responding quickly enough to this disaster which is already upon us.
Nahel Belgherze@wxnb.bsky.social · 2d agoAn incredibly well-timed Landsat 9 pass captured the effects of yesterday’s catastrophic glacier collapse near the Nepal–Tibet border. The event was so massive that it was detected by seismometers around the world.

Si les volumes de roches et de glace qui se sont décrochés dans l’Himalaya n’ont pas encore été quantifiés, le glaciologue Adrien Gilbert estime déjà, dans un entretien au « Monde », que cette catastrophe est d’une ampleur exceptionnelle.

Burnham drops support for political funding cap aimed at curbing mega-donors. Reportedly, favours a cap at £500k. How many people have £500k to buy influence? A game only the super-rich, big corporations/unions can play. Can't end political corruption without banning all political donations.
