and Robbie Williams as a chimp for some reason

I was in Hong Kong and after a glorious day sightseeing and walking around it suddenly started to thunder. Rain everywhere. No shelter in sight. People slipping down the stairs running through the streets. Cars splashing puddles everywhere. Bus and tram stops full of people trying to avoid the rain. I quickly ducked into a department store before I was fully soaked but thought, “fuck I have another twenty minutes walk to get back to the hotel”. So I looked around the store for a few minutes and found the accessory section where they keep the umbrellas. Perfect! This was going to be the best impulse buy of my life.

I picked up a designer leather belt that I had been searching years for online. There it was, right in front of me, at a decent price. So I bought it.

If you’re white and have a reasonable amount of money you’ll be fine anywhere in Europe 😬… I’m only half joking.

sigh sarcasm and the internet strike again. 🫠

The US is under the impression that it won the Cold War against Russia.

In an interview with pro-Trump journalist Tucker Carlson, Witkoff (Trump’s special envoy to Ukraine) praised Vladimir Putin, saying he “liked” the Russian president.

“I don’t regard Putin as a bad guy,” he said. “He’s super smart.”

During the interview, Witkoff repeated various Russian arguments, including that Ukraine was “a false country” and asked when the world would recognise occupied Ukrainian territory as Russian.

Witkoff is leading the US ceasefire negotiations with both Russia and Ukraine but he was unable to name the five regions of Ukraine either annexed or partially occupied by Russian forces.

Get gud? 😄

What’s the calculation that investors / the stock market is making here? That in time Twitter will become less of a cesspit and that ads can be served? Or is this just YOLO money?

Took me a second but finally got it.

Mr Freeman, we meet again.

I think OP was playing the role of “a westerner with absolutely no knowledge of history or religion” when they made the comment.

Seppo, septic tank, yank. Love it! Cockney rhyming slang strikes again?

Unfortunately the USAians are so dominant in the region of the Americas that they’ve coopted the term American for most people. My Columbian friend hates when we refer to USAians as Americans because he says “hey we were here first” 😆. But unfortunately that’s the way it is.

Yanks or Yankee Doodles is what we used to call them but they get rather upset these days when you call them that. I wouldn’t call them gringos because it just sounds unnatural for a Brit to say that seriously.

It’s shit

Suspends disbelief to accept magical space wizards that can mind rape you if you’re not careful enough.

Different looking ghost… aww hell no!

Why would your King’s best friend be charged with anything? The only thing he’s going to get charged with is how to funnel your public money into his bank account.

I think the general consensus is that the Democrats need to simply wait this one out. Trump will, inevitably, implode and ruin the country at which time the Democrats can ride back in more easily.

That and at every opportunity call people racist for not agreeing with the Democrats.

Elon Musk is the resident Nazi at the heart of the US government and is widely believed to have bought his influence with Trump. Oh and also Trump is President again after being a convicted criminal. No this isn’t a joke.

Did he form these views before or after he lived out his life in the country that is the anthesis of socialism? 🤔
