Germany to Trump: We won’t help you reopen the Strait of Hormuz

@Wen this was the Facebook war that Zuckerberg caused, one of the earliest interventions of social media algorithmic warfare, this set the precedent for the attacks on Scottish referendum, the 2015 UK elections, 2016 Brexit referendum and the 2016 US elections, plus countless other attacks on democratic processes around the world ever since...
@friendslive Thank you 🙂 My allotment is very naturalistic, I don`t like regimented flower borders. I have a mix of native and near-native wildflowers, many fruit trees and bushes and some vegetables. I also have 4 ponds. I love wildlife and want to attract as many as I can.

If you live in the UK you can vote for my wildlife and climate-change allotment garden in a big BBC Gardeners’ World Magazine garden competition which wants to find the best garden out of 20 past winners (I am Nadine Mitschunas, Judge`s Choice Winner 2021):

Gardens of the Year 2026 - Best of the Best

My allotment is full of flowers, fruit and veg and a happy place not just for me but all the wildlife as well. 🦋 🐝 🕷️

Jeg fik sørme installeret Linux Ubuntu på min Lenovo! Det kunne - med noget bøvl - installeres sideløbende med Windows! Det gjorde det muligt at komme igang med det samme. Også før jeg følte mig helt sikker på at skiftet kommer til at fungere..

Umiddelbart ser det ud til at kunne det, jeg har brug for. Det er samtidig pænt og nemt at bruge so far. Det skal man ikke lade sig skræmme af!

Nu glæder jeg mig til at teste det til stort og småt..

Once the dust finally settles after the fire in the Union Corner Building in Glasgow (top left), attention will undoubtedly turn to how to fill the gap it has left behind.

This is an important location for the city, and Gordon Street is packed with many magnificent Victorian buildings (top right, bottom left and bottom right).

As an ex-macOS user but still using my trusty #MacBooKPro of 2010, I have been distro-hopping for years trying to find a Distro and UI that feels like 'Home!' Been thru Fedora, Mint, Zorin and no matter how I tried, Plasma just smacks of Windows far too much and never seems stable! It is fair to say that Elementary has its own quirks but for such a small Team, IMO it finally is holding its own! I look forward to turning my Mac on and feeling like I am part of something independent and unique! @elementary @danirabbit #linux

I fucking hope so. Americans need a wake up call. We are the baddies
