Gang: My brother's scooter - literally his only means of independence - batteries died today. He can't get out of his car without it and would be well and truly stuck. If anyone can see their way clear to helping out or sharing this, so he can be out and about this Christmas.
Thank you deeply.

So my scooter batteries died at the #Everton match vs #NottinghamForest today. This is my mobility and lifeline and as it's Christmas this is an unexpected expense we can't afford. Any help a donation or a share is much appreciated.

The bottom 90% lost a collective $79 trillion in wages over the past 50 years.
Why? Because the top 1% ate up an increasingly larger share of the national income — so that $79 trillion flowed to them instead of the working class.
The greatest trick of all is trickle-down economics.

I'm pretty sure this is an actual human rights violation
I was once told (have not confirmed) that the gift shop in a museum devoted to Van Gogh in Amsterdam has "Vincent" by Don Maclean playing *constantly*
I was once in a KFC in Zhuhai and they played a recording of a small child singing "Happy Birthday To You" (in Chinese) on repeat for at least half an hour, that's how long it took before I could not bear it any more, it may have been on all day.

I do like how, in the bit of Prescott's memo where he criticises the BBC for editing together different parts of Trump's speech, his own quote of "what Trump actually said" is... edited together from different parts of his speech.

CBP Agent Gregory Lairmore testified that the sandwich “exploded” when it struck his chest hard enough that he could feel it through his ballistic vest.
“You could smell the onions and the mustard,” he recalled.
THAT POOR BRAVE BASTARD.

Seems to be business as usual for Brian O'Driscoll after speaking just 3 weeks ago at a conference sponsored by Checkpoint, cyber security company for IDF. No questions asked, no explanation, back doing punditry. WTF??

If you get the chance to see the young pianist Roman Borisov, take it! Probably the best Rachmaninoff 2 I've ever heard. Clarity. Freedom of expression... Mind-blowing! Played the first piece here (3 mins long) as an encore. youtu.be/kGVtDtyWpZg?...

Funniest part is HE WAS CHARGED
So imagine David Beckham pretended to have cancer and shoved a phone charger cable up his nose posing for a fake hospital photo.
