Batshit Crazy!

Don’t argue with people over sixty. Just don’t. It’s not just an age; it’s a masterclass in survival. They grew up without Google, without DoorDash, without therapy podcasts, and without an "undo" button. If something broke, they grabbed duct tape, WD-40, a hammer, and a look of sheer determination that made even the broken appliance second-guess itself. As kids, they knew exactly what kind of mood their mom was in just by the sound of how hard she slammed the cast-iron skillet onto the stove. They were the original latchkey kids — walking home from middle school with a house key tied around their neck, with strict orders to heat up lunch and not burn the kitchen down. By the time they were ten, they could bike to the corner store, buy a gallon of milk for the neighbor, feed the family dog, and still have time to play freeze tag in the yard until dark. Their knees were a permanent canvas of scrapes, bruises, and rubbing alcohol. Their universal first-aid kit was just a quick wash under the garden hose and a Band-Aid. If a bone wasn't sticking out, you were fine. They drank water straight from that same hose, ate Wonder Bread covered in butter and sugar, shared a single glass bottle of Coke among five friends, and somehow didn't die from a lack of sanitization. This is the generation that knows how to rewind a cassette tape with a No. 2 pencil. They know the suspense of waiting all week for a movie to air on TV, because if you missed it, it was gone. They remember rotary phones, looking up a family in a massive paper phonebook, and the excitement of getting a color television. They survived party lines, typewriter ribbons, early brick cell phones, and flip phones — and today, they might accidentally send you a 7-minute voice memo where the first 6 minutes are just them breathing and asking, "Hello? Can you hear me?" And don't you dare laugh. Because without a GPS, these people could drive halfway across the country using nothing but an old paper map, a cooler full of sandwiches, and the gut feeling that "the exit should be coming up somewhere around here." They are the ultimate masters of household magic. They can stitch, tighten, glue, and fix just about anything. And somewhere in their pantry, they have a "bag of bags" that is literally older than half the gadgets you own. Leave people over sixty alone. They saw the world before the internet, and they navigated the world after it. And through it all, they didn't just get by — they thrived.

Good job @POTUS! Breaking all kinds of records

Admitting War Crimes! Since Obama, no nukes. Imagine that🤷‍♂️ Netanyahu Lied!

This is what desperation and surrender look like

Iran's deputy foreign minister Kazem Gharibabadi says if both sides fulfill their commitments in the deal that has just been agreed, Tehran and Washington will then enter 60 days of talks to reach a broader agreement regarding Iran's nuclear programme and US sanctions.

Should we expect any posts from you, @RealCandaceO , condemning the Kremlin’s attack on Christianity — or do you only talk about God when you’re paid to? The Lavra has been attacked twice — and both times by Russians. The previous time it was damaged was during World War II, on November 3, 1941. The cathedral was mined and blown up by retreating Soviet NKVD saboteurs after German forces occupied the city. And today — on Sunday (the Lord’s Day), June 14, 2026 — it was struck again by direct Russian missile attacks. The Kyiv-Pechersk Lavra (Monastery of the Caves) is 975 years old. It is one of the oldest and most sacred monastic complexes in Eastern Europe, with its history officially dating back to 1051 AD during the era of Kyivan Rus’.

Iran-U.S. "peace deal" to be signed on 19 June in Switzerland, says the Pakistani PM.

A number of navigational buoys have appeared in the Strait of Hormuz on MarineTraffic.com. They are all showing as Iranian ownership. There has been an extreme amount of spoofing in the region since the war began, so it's unknown if these are genuine.

The Alberta government is executing mass layoffs for approximately 370 Public Health Inspectors and environmental health workers as part of a massive, ongoing restructuring of Alberta Health Services (AHS). Who wants to go out to eat? 🤢

Suspiciously a Russian colonel Oleg Sokolenko was found dead outside his apartment in Moscow after falling out a window. He definitely was not pushed…

We shall see! Not signed, no deal.

The Strait of Hormuz was open before Trump's war, so he cannot claim its reopening as a war "victory." Illogical.

Looool my god, we gave Iran everything on a silver platter so he could “announce” a “peace deal” on his birthday. Truly a low point in American geopolitics.

Word!

Looks as if someone is sensitive about the fact that the new Iran deal isn't as good as JCPOA (or as good as what was offered by Iran in January, before we spent tens of billions of dollars to create a global mess).

Oh, look what the devout Christians from ruzzia hit in Kyiv just now...
