Oxymoron of the day: European deterrence.
I’ll see your “European Deterrence” and raise you an “American Support”
Timely reminder from the 1st Prime Minister, Dr Eric Williams, of #TrinidadandTobago as the country embarks on its 64th year of Independence Lest we forget
A reflective Viv Richards in his final season of first-class cricket at Glamorgan. Aged 41, he bowed out on top with 1235 runs at 47.50. His last first-class innings typified his career as he thumped 83 in 61 minutes v Kent at Canterbury
Well the last time I was there was like 8 years ago but I know of no changes that have made the drive any easier. I’m about a 40 min drive away but that’s no consolation. It really is a torturous drive. Did you come to Trinidad specially to visit Asa Wright?
…blaming Trump’s victory on the Democrats I presume
Asa…yes I have…on a couple occasions…beautiful…have you?
We’ll take it
Sometimes the historical dictionary offers solace through the existence of an obsolete word that is sorely needed now. One of them is ‘respair’, recorded just once, in the 15th century. It means fresh hope, and a recovery from despair.
…mine were quiet 😉
Ok. So I’d heard the monkey; (1) …escaped from Emperor Valley (2) …“had a fight” (lolol, like it was a lover’s quarrel) with a woman on Maraval Road I guess the actual facts are now trickling out. There’s a really good old time calypso in this…
Happy 63rd Independence Day Anniversary Trinidad & Tobago! 🇹🇹 🙏🏾 🙂
Liking this pic for a certain flag prominently displayed 🙂

That the regime is White Christian Nationalist and believes in eugenics does.
Condolences to you and yours Jess. I know first hand how difficult this is. May sweet Ladybird live on in your memory.
Trump just had his with you…now it’s your turn. Good luck…I guess
He doesn’t read though
💯
I’ve long suspected you live in an Enchanted/Disney/Fairytale forest based on the flora and fauna fotos you post. This Baby Bear (friend of Goldilocks I presume) sighting kinda confirms it for me.
Def heard the name…will look it up
…can’t say that I do
Damn Jess! I feel like this is scaring me more than it scared you. Sounds like it’s not your first rodeo…to see him three times though…once would be enough to make me need to change my shorts! Did it feel like he was stalking or was it a case of coincidentally heading in the same direction?
Yeah…not the word (or two words (is ‘oh’ a word?)) that came to my mind.
Damn! There are no bears in Trinidad…doesn’t stop me from thinking they’re the scariest animal in the world. You have like bodyguards right?
…our future
“…conspired”? Shouldn’t that be “is conspiring“?
🎯💯
There are no US led peace efforts because Trump does not understand the concept of a just peace. There are US led surrender efforts. He wants to gift Ukraine to Putin, his idol, as tribute then claim…neigh demand the Nobel Peace prize because a conquered Ukraine is proof he made the shooting stop.
Happy to be wrong about this.
…and West Indies cricket brother…and West Indies cricket.
Just a friendly reminder that your desire to have a bookshelf with a rolling ladder is valid. Don’t allow anyone to disrespect you by telling you otherwise.

I hereby challenge you to translate that into hieroglyphs (not ‘hieroglyphics’…see , I actually watched the video). You can write it and post a pic as I suspect there ain’t many easily accessible hieroglyph fonts.
This has been a rough decade to be a supporter of parliamentary democracy, liberalism, membership of the EU and Manchester United.
Online age verification is not like "showing ID to buy alcohol" because a) the liquor store doesn't get to scan your ID and store a digital copy of it forever in a database that will inevitably get hacked b) you don't have to show ID to go to the library because they have cocktail recipe books
…that depends on the results of the next general election. This government has been clear about prioritizing Trump asskissery over even the consideration of regional interests.
…not to mention Trump is a liar with expansionist urges (because he thinks this is what good dictators do) so no one with sense believes this is about drug cartels. What it is about, in part, is about having people talking about it being about drug cartels.
…so just talks like a duck then
Yes…seeing plenty peewah (no, not ‘prewar’ Mr. Spellcheck) these days…was seeing a lot of breadfruit…appears to be dying down…also starting to see zaboca a lot
Ah shame
#Trini crew, my #Spotify spat this one out at me today…apropos, wouldn’t you say?…quite more-things-change-more-they-stay-the-same-esque #KingDavidRudder youtu.be/SYqLeYJoaBc?...
It’s kinda their thing
As seen on FB
#miseenchaos
Lolololol
Now? Trump. He has the power. Eventually? Vance. He is the end-game Manchurian candidate of the White Christian Nationalists and Tech Bros. His youth, discipline and concentration of evil will make Trump’s already disastrous 2nd term look like choir practice….for Ukraine and everybody else.
Vance is anything but ignorant. What he is, is beholden to Putin as long as Trump is president at least.
When stupidity is considered patriotism, it is unsafe to be intelligent. - Isaac Asimov
Wow…I must admit that of the many items I had on my post-election bingo card, contempt for #CARICOM was not included. On brand though. This betrays a misunderstanding of T&T’s historical role and standing in the region and a naïveté re what the current America stands for. Again, just Wow.
I missed it…what was said? Do you have a link to point me to?
(2/2)…factually on the drastic weakening of the jobs market under Trump. Instead of punching back, you chose to magnify the fact of the comment and minimize its function. Instead of standing up for T&T you throw us under the bus with the tired “PNM did it” bogeyman. Pathetic.
(1/2) Instead of pointing to the flow of American guns into T&T as a key issue. Instead of asking why are we being used as prop for the authoritarian takeover of a majority black city. Instead of asking why they cherry pick these stats whilst firing their own Commissioner of the BLS for reporting…
What a stupid, obsequious, predictable thing to say. #TropicalTrumpism
…pretty sure you’re already there
Lifting you up 🙏🏾
“As U.S.-led efforts to deliver Ukraine to Russia…” I fixed the beginning of this headline for you. You’re welcome.

BOYCOTT THE WORLD CUP AND THE 2028 SUMMER OLYMPICS! Yes, I said it.
This is the way.
True. Sometimes, though, you have to do a work around
The routine disdain, contempt and disrespect meted out by Putin to the leaders of the West re: Ukraine is what awaits liberal democracy’s practitioners in the US if Democrats continue to play by the rules long since discarded by Trump et al. Keep bringing words to a firefight…get burnt to a crisp.

Slavery? Yes. Mixed marriages? No. Women’s suffrage? No. Due process? No. Concentration camps? Yes. Democracy? Not any more. Science? No Accurate data? No Historical accuracy? No The confederacy? Yes I just went ahead and did a quick (not exhaustive) expansion of that ‘hankering’ list for you…
Lolol…not only can we bomb and kill Ukraine and Ukrainians whenever and however we want, we must also be involved in the ‘protection’ of the people we’re killing. This farce is brought to you by the spineless of European leadership in concert with the shortsightedness of the American electorate.

That’s a good problem to have.
Good morning to everyone who doesn’t have Vladimir Putin on speed dial to tell them what to do.

…to whom? A significant, increasingly vocal segment of Americans don’t seem to mind at all.
I see his fingerprint in a lot of her action (she has confessed to admiration)….but I can’t trust my judgement as I’ve never been a fan….ergo Hell Yeah TACO (KACO?) tactics and as the the penchant for blaming all ills on the previous admin loses potency I expect to see it deployed more frequently
Tropical Trumpism
Lolol
Seriously @nytimes.com. Wtf. Russia illegally annexing territory it violently invaded is a “land deal” like a car jacking at gunpoint is a “car deal”
We have a winner
…’cuz he’s eclipsed Lavrov as Russia’s No. 1 diplomat.
Are consciously including Trump et al in this category? I am.
What's that topic you wrote an essay or did a presentation about in high school that you still get excited about whenever you see it mentioned?
It was magmanimous! (see what I did there?)
🤔😟wow the peer review process is so important …I could’ve gotten you cancelled!
Did a pretty badass volcano in Form 2 (Grade 7)
Lolol…please promise to make the entirety (we’re prepared to negotiate for partial) of your next #wordsunravelled podcast with @robwords.bsky.social in full costume

…that’s not his pocket Timothy
This is the way.
Rather passive statement. Consigns agency to the realm of conspiracy theory. From where I sit the biggest difference between us is that some act as if they have no option but to dance to the pied piper’s tune whist a minority are preoccupied composing our own music. Constant performance is a choice.
Whether it’s a fly-by international relations humiliation from Putin or a lectern-by debate beat down by Harris, any objective public confirmation of Trump’s political and cognitive cluelessness does nothing to pierce the self inflicted spell his devotees have placed himself under.
You spelled ‘submit’ wrong.
Unearned? He put Trump in the White House twice.
…the word “still” is doing some heavy lifting here
…not in public anyway
I’m taking my wins wherever I can get them
This is what passes for DEI in your White Christian Nationalist Reality TV presidency.
I'm a new kind of mob boss. I'm going to make Ukraine an offer they can't accept.
You spelled “Obsequious Donald forsakes Ukraine, Comes to Daddy. Mid Season Cliffhanger Surprises No One” wrong.
