  1. Where Elon Musk and Donald Trump's alliance could fall apart Donald Trump and Elon Musk could fall out over China if massive tariffs are levied on the nation, it has been claimed. The pair became strong allies during the election campaign and the billionaire was made co-chief of the 'Department of Government Efficiency'. The Tesla and SpaceX boss even shelled out hundreds of millions of dollars to bolster Trump's campaign. Read more here

  4. You have pretty much the same as me, Spacey. A number of years ago, I had a fall and tore two tendons from the bone on my right arm. and partly tore a third tendon. The sports medicine specialist who examined me said those injuries do not heal, and surgery would result in 3 months in a sling with no guarantee of success. The description you were looking for is rotator cuff syndrome. You can look it up on Google. When the pain gets bad, I need a steroid injection guided by ultrasond. I can lift a half kilo dumbell 10 times slowly about 80% of the way to straight up, 20+ times quickly with my left. Getting dishes from the high shelves or putting them away can be quite painful. For hanging washing on the rotary clothes line requires that the line is just above my head. When my son or daughter use the line it is often left at full height and I have to wind it down 15 or 20 turns of the handle.

  6. Barron for president in 2044?

  7. ‘He’s like the sleeper’: Lara Trump details Barron’s influence over his father Lara Trump has shared details of how Barron influenced his father – and said the teenager should be given “serious credit” for his role in getting Donald Trump reelected. Trump’s daughter-in-law, who is married to Eric, gushed about 18-year-old Barron on Patrick Bet-David’s podcast, explaining that the NYU student stayed in the shadows when it came to the 2024 presidential campaign. “Barron Trump is so cool. He’s like the sleeper a little bit. He’s kind of stayed out of the spotlight, probably intentionally,” she said. Read more here

    Correct. 5 ate 8, 7 ate 6, and 9 ate 4.
  16. Massive blow for Putin as strategic bridge collapses Vladimir Putin witnessed one of his strategic routes in Crimea destroyed after the bridge connecting Dzhankoi to Maslove suddenly collapsed, damaging a railway line as it fell. The incident occurred on Wednesday, and this loss will significantly slow the delivery of military equipment to the Russian army. Officials from the region, annexed in 2014, initially did not disclose the cause of the abrupt destruction of the structure. According to local authorities, the bridge gave way under the weight of overloaded vehicles, and for now, traffic on this route has been suspended. Crimea has previously been the target of Ukrainian drone attacks that forced the Russian fleet to leave the area after several warships were severely damaged. The Kerch Bridge, which links Crimea to Russia, has also been targeted multiple times by the Ukrainian army over the past year, weakening the structure. This bridge, a critical transport route for Moscow, was temporarily closed before allowing traffic to resume at a limited capacity. (QG - Source : RBC Ukraine / Picture: © Unsplash)

    The Garbo ... Leonie Parker © Stanley was a garbo and he reckoned life was grouse, checking out the rubbish bins while driving house to house. Stanley said you’d not believe the stuff that folk threw out. Clothes he wore to church on Sunday he’d found strewn about. He found tennis racquets and a brand new pair of shoes, wheels to fit his rusty ute, a half drunk case of booze, garden tools and ornaments, plant cuttings by the score, board games, books and bicycles and many many more. Stanley kept all manner of the treasures that he found, took his bounty home with him and placed it all around. Stanley really loved his job, could not believe his luck, thought he’d hit the jackpot with his Council garbage truck. Stanley’s wife, long suffering, would shake her head and smile, looking on with fondness while he added to the pile. When her friends would criticize she’d simply say that Stan could have done much worse. He could have been the dunny man.

  21. Some Porsche owners have been told not to drive their luxury cars as the manufacturer issues a recall to thousands amid the risk of wheels falling off. Around 1,000 drivers in the UK have been sent letters or emails with the warning telling them 'not to use your vehicle until further notice'. The price for the top-end cars, the drivers of which have been sent the notification, ranges from about £100,000 to £200,000.
  22. Not Trump, but a result of the election result. Nine male GOP members have been served divorce papers since the election, citing the result according to the Washington Post. This may be because of a fear that the Trump Congress may remove no cause divorce.
