It's a suitable outfit for a comedian pretending to be a tough guy president. -

Hundreds of Ukrainian soldiers captured in Kursk while Putin appears in military fatigues
I can remember when you wrote posts that had a point and were not just endless repetition of Putin bad, Putin bad. Perhaps when Ukrainian war is done and dusted I'll take you off my ignore list. For now, bye. -

Electrical wire question for my land
As with most things here, it's really entirely up to you. A few thoughts. Do you actually need a switch at the pump? A waterproof outlet on the pole may be better. If you do want a switch, would it be better/more convenient at the house end of the cable? Don't "extend" the pump cable, replace it with a suitable length of flexible cable in a conduit to protect it from the weather and UV. I wouldn't run underground unless you use underground rated cable (even if it's in conduit), underground conduit invariably fills with water no matter how carefully we seal the ends. The cable run from the house should be protected by an RCD if your installation doesn't already have one. All good fun 🙂 -

Trans punk rocker slammed for evil lyrics during onstage performance at Bernie Sanders rally
Laura Jane Grace, the transgender rocker and frontwoman of the punk band Against Me!, has ignited a storm of controversy after opening a Bernie Sanders rally with a provocative song questioning God’s anatomy. The performance, which took place in Kenosha, Wisconsin, featured Grace performing a new solo track, *Your God (God’s D–k)*, with lyrics that many have slammed as vulgar, anti-Christian, and offensive. During the song, Grace sang, *“Does your god have a big fat d–k? Cause it feels like he’s f–king me.”* The lyrics continued with even more explicit lines, including, *“When he whips out his meat does your world fall to its knees?”* and *“Does he chew c– like bubblegum and give b–wjobs like a vacuum?”* The song quickly drew backlash, with critics calling it a deliberate attack on religious beliefs. Conservative social media erupted in outrage. Libs of TikTok called the performance *“absolutely sickening.”* Political commentator Robby Starbuck condemned the act, writing on X, *“This is who the Democrats are now. Pure evil.”* Others criticized the explicit nature of the lyrics, with one user commenting, *“God will not be mocked.”* Even some Democrats expressed discomfort with the choice of performer. A self-identified moderate Democrat wrote, *“It’s hard to express how ashamed and disappointed I am in these people now. What has happened these last few years may not ever be undone. Inexcusable.”* Another critic remarked, *“Little Bernie has gone full Satan, right before our eyes! What kind of singer even writes this on paper, let alone sings it in front of an audience?”* Grace, 44, has been a longtime supporter of Bernie Sanders, previously performing in support of him during the 2020 campaign. Known for her raw and rebellious style, she has never shied away from controversy. In a past performance, she sang about burning crucifixes, white supremacy, and automatic weapons, with lyrics like, *“God is good and God is great, now get the f–k out of the USA.”* The Sanders rally, part of a national tour titled *"Fighting Oligarchy: Where We Go From Here,"* drew approximately 3,500 attendees to a small college sports arena. Wisconsin, the event’s location, has been a battleground state in recent elections, flipping to the Republicans in the last presidential race. Despite the backlash, neither Sanders nor his campaign has publicly commented on Grace’s performance or the controversy it has stirred. However, the incident has once again highlighted the growing cultural and political divide, with critics pointing to the performance as evidence of what they see as an increasingly extreme and out-of-touch progressive movement.

Russian Captain Identified in Cargo Ship Collision with US Tanker
The captain of the Solong cargo ship, which collided with a US oil tanker earlier this week, has been confirmed as a Russian national. Ernst Russ, the shipping company involved, verified on Wednesday that the 59-year-old captain was Russian, according to a report from Reuters. The incident occurred on Monday when the Portuguese-flagged Solong crashed into the US-flagged Stena Immaculate, a tanker carrying jet fuel, off the East Yorkshire coast. The collision left one crew member missing and raised concerns over potential environmental damage due to chemical leaks into the sea. Crowley, the company operating the Stena Immaculate, described the severity of the crash, stating there were "multiple explosions onboard." Footage from the aftermath captured thick black smoke pouring from the hull of the tanker. Search and rescue helicopters were dispatched, but despite extensive efforts, the search for the missing Solong crew member was eventually called off. Meanwhile, all 23 crew members aboard the US vessel were confirmed safe. Following the collision, Humberside Police arrested the Solong's captain on suspicion of gross negligence manslaughter. Authorities have confirmed that he is cooperating with investigators. Detective Chief Superintendent Craig Nicholson stated: "Extensive work has already been carried out, and we are working closely with our partners to understand what happened, and to provide support to all of those affected. Following enquiries undertaken by my team, we have arrested a 59-year-old man on suspicion of gross negligence manslaughter in connection with the collision. This follows the conclusion of search operations by HM Coastguard for the missing crew member of the SOLONG." Investigations are ongoing as authorities seek to establish the precise circumstances that led to the crash. Based on a report by The Standard 2025-03-13
