Whatever RFK's mother was taking during pregnancy, she didn't take enough of it.

I'm done. I've been burnt out for the last 6 months with issues with my parents health. Things keep getting worse instead of better. Now I've been diagnosed with kidney failure, undiscovered for years and now at 9% I'm looking at dialysis in the next 6 months. Honestly wondering why bother.

Nobody else suspecting that RFK Jr is probably autistic/ADHD himself and is projecting?

I don't see why someone's personality traits should give them more or fewer rights than anyone else, but okay.

He thinks he's playing 4D chess but in actual fact he's playing Jenga and the tower is starting to wobble.
So glad comedy is legal again on X because this is gold!

I do think it’s funny how Donald Trump just made MAGA hats 54% more expensive

Hawker Hunter jet went roaring over the house at 1800ft. Didn't think the RAF used them any more. Are they breaking out the old "off-grid" jets so the Yanks can't switch them off remotely when we go to war with them?

Most men buy a sportscar to compensate for their "shortcomings". Musk takes over the whole car company, space company, social media company, then a country.

Spoke to someone who thinks it's fine for Ukrainians to come over here and get support from the government to survive, but not asylum seekers from Syria, Iraq etc to come and get the same. But he's "not racist though". He also falls for the "invasion" rhetoric and that all immigrants are criminals.

I feel like all kinds of shit is about to hit all the fans and there's nothing we can do but watch. I just feel sorry for the one person in the world I still deeply care for, even though she hates me, about to bring a child into this world that's about to change for the worst.

And in 50 years Musk Jr becomes "the first self-made Quadrillionaire" while the plebs slave away at the "X Corp" mines on the Moon.

Just replace the penny with bottle caps. They'll be the US currency after the war anyway.
Another power that properly belongs to Congress, of course

Was slightly disappointed it was the "other" Brian Cox on The Last Leg last night, then he gave his opinion of Donald Trump and I wasn't so disappointed. The Professor would have the same opinion but is too polite to use the same word.

I just realised JD Vance looks like a young Greg Hemphill (from Chewin' The Fat and Still Game), and I can't unsee it.

Gonnae no dae that ya fanny.

Oh, okay. After several weeks of me not installing the Windows 11 24H2 update until I knew for sure it wasn't going to fuck up anything on my PC, now it's basically saying "you're getting it next restart, whether you want it or not." After the last 6 weeks stress I'd rather not, but okay.

I would have loved to have heard the phone alerts go off in a busy area like a pub or supermarket. Was spectactular enough all 3 of my family's phones screaming in unison at 1753 tonight. #redalert

Ironic that Trump is removing the ability for people to choose how they identify based on personality traits, yet he's choosing to identify a body of water to suit his own personality trait.

I had no idea who the ADL were. By their post I assumed it was "American Defense League" or some similar nationalist extremist group.
This is so bad

Ended up watching the Twunt inauguration without wanting to (my dad, not a Trumper, ended up changing the TV to it out of curiosity).
A bit depressing watching the USA's downfall to an analogue of Hitler's Nazi Germany in realtime, with Trump acting like he's king of the world with impunity.
