  9. Kleine Einkaufsrunde südlich von Berlin, mit drei Stationen:

    galloway-loewenbruch.de/ (Suppenfleisch und -knochen, Beinscheiben und Rumpsteak vom #Galloway Rind, leider ohne Foto) und

    der Verkaufsautomat in Blankenfelde mit Produkten der spreewaldalm.de/ (Drehnower Hofkäserei).

  11. دي تويتة كتبها #جورج #غالوي الاعلامي السياسي البريطاني والبرلماني السابق بيقول فيها: إذا كان #نتنياهو قد مات فمن الذي يدير #الولايات #المتحدة #الامريكية الآن؟ جملة من سطر واحد وصلت المعنى لكل #اوروبا.
    This is a tweet written by British political commentator and former MP #George #Galloway saying: If #Netanyahu has died, who is running the #United #States now? A one line sentence that delivered the message to all of #Europe.

  12. Dear Friends of the fugitive George Galloway,

    As you may know/remember:

    - He is a scrapper (former boxer) and MP (Member of UK Parliament)
    - Was sent a short podcast from his current location (which I believe might still be China - had to flee the UK due to 'illegally' supporting the Palestinians in Gaza)
    youtube.com/watch?v=rn1qGRJsdKI

    Fortunately he is still #podcasting his wide experience of totalitarian war mongering from the usual hawkers.

    As a peacenik myself, with a perverse interest in martial arts and cutting edge #DARPA technology. I am equally bad at being a vegan/#vegetarian. So sorry gals and boyz :akko_blush:

    However I can report:

    + Having a #vegan brekkie. Also ordered some highly rated #chapatti flour for more vegan dhal.
    + Have fed my peanut loving garden squirrel
    + Am convinced that I am sentient, unlike AI which is not even close (doing vipassana meditation as my main practice - going well despite being an olde and advanced practice)

  14. 🚨🚨🚨Resist and Unsubscribe🚨🚨🚨

    Americans are feeling powerless to thwart the Trump administration’s assault on our nation’s values.

    Praised by tech CEOs, surrounded by sycophants, and enriched by his return to the White House, the president’s actions march on unchecked.

    Americans, however, have a powerful weapon that has been hiding in plain sight.

Outside Lanarkshire, however, the region is also quite notable in a number of surrounding counties, including Ayrshire, Dumfries-shire, Renfrewshire, and possibly Kirkcudbrightshire.
