    No way Biden is getting re-elected.  I can’t believe in all the US huge country huge population they don’t have atleast 1 decent candidate. Ridiculous 

    The trouble is it's all about who has enough money to fund the campaign which is why they tend to get just rich old guys.

    Biden seems past it already. What's he going to be like in a couple of years? 

    But I don't know how trump is not in jail yet. 

    I think trump will get it though. Even democrats are questioning Biden now.

    Yesterday, during her annual New Year's address, Queen Margrethe II of Denmark announced her intention to abdicate on live television. She will formally step down on 14 January 2024, 52 years to the day since she became queen.

    Not only is she the longest-serving monarch in Danish history, she is also the world's only reigning queen following the death of Queen Elizabeth II and the world's longest-serving living monarch.

    I wouldn't exactly call myself a staunch royalist, but as a Dane I most certainly felt the presence of history yesterday when I watched the Queen's New Year's address, as we always do on New Year's Eve at 18:00. What an ending to the year!

     

    I completely understand. QEII was a constant presence throughout my whole life while prime ministers came and went. It really is the end of an era when something like this happens and unsettling with regards to the future. 

  3. I really want to know what the motivation for this was. It just seems so strange. It's not like it's building land or anything. Nobody has anything to gain by the tree being chopped down which makes it even more upsetting. 

    Many have said that it must have been done by a professional - it was during a severe storm and sixteen years old don't hike forty minutes with a specialist chainsaw in a storm to chop down a three hundred year old tree!

  4. It's a shame the company is no longer on the stock exchanged as I'd love to see the effect on the share price. 

    I'm expecting it to return to Twitter at some point. It's such a strong brand and X is nothing. 

    Oh and I just saw a news headline that threads has lost half its users already!

    No, it's still going. Talks with government have failed and I believe the plan is to wait until everyone is tired and the situation goes back to normal by itself. Which is a scary game to play as people are seriously fed up with not being heard or considered.

    Friend lived in Paris for ten years and said that although there were always protests, they didn't seem to have any effect and change anything.

    Would you agree?
