As things kick off in Ukraine be suspicious & check everything before sharing. There will be lots of rubbish on social media soon - both malicious, and worse, ill informed junk by people desperate for clout. Donโt make things worse by trying to be first & chasing followers/likes.

Apple mapping has blurred large areas of Wiltshire. Presumably for security reasons but it is well wonky.
I expect state-level actors have more accurate imagery already. And the flip flop mob can use Google. Meanwhile 99.9% of users canโt use it. <slow hand clap>

Sunset soon. Sugar-addicted feral army brats will roam the patch in packs, hunting for prey.
Lock down & shelter in place, good luck.

Hungry mobs harvesting suburban housing estates?
Can you imagine them trying to pillage battalion patch? Fijian, Manc or weegie occupant gives it โso, *you* want to take *my* food?โ
And thatโs just spouses and kids. If troops are not deployed, way worse.

My dirty secret, I like tinned rice pudding.
Tesco delivery guy commented I only had one tin in my entire order.
Apparently most customers buying loads of tinned stuff & theyโre running out of some products.
We are going to see idiots panic buying bog roll again arenโt we?

What are some of these ppl on?
โฐThe head of the @BritishArmy has just delivered a massive wake-up call to his troops - and the whole of the UK - about the gathering storm.
Please read or watch โฌ๏ธ
General Sir Roly Walker tells his soldiers: "You didnโt know this but our nation is going to need you.
"Very soon the political leaders of this country will start to have a frank conversation with the citizens of this country about just what is going on and where the risk lies.
"They are going to try and explain to our citizens that our citizens have got to consent to sacrifices to prioritise defence and security.
"And then they are going to ask those citizens, to whom we are not necessarily at the front of their mind, that they too need to play a part in the defence and security of this country.
"They need to understand what we do for them.
"They need to consent to allow us to do that, which means sacrifices by them.
"And ultimately we are going to need them to back us, to back you to do the one thing that you do that noody else gets to do and that is to take the fight to the enemy."

British military is only place that can have VIP visit, where everything is rehearsed & delivered to exacting standards, yet random participant can bring a dog.
It wanders in, shoves nose in VIP crotch, then crashes out on its back in middle of room. And nobody cares.

Donโt want to be a suck up, but how does cancelling bunch of chunky Div HQ staff officers, hiding in tents smelling of foosty-pish, in snorkel OJAR orgy, impact tank commanders?
Yes itโs shit, but different kind of shit as tank commanders will go โwtaf is a cyclone?โ
Soldiers and officers at the 3rd (UK) Division โ the UKโs premier armoured warfighting unit โ were due to qualify later this year as tank commanders on a Cyclone exercise.
But the exercise was cancelled at the end of the summer to save money, and soldiers were unable to complete their training. It left the Army without a full complement of Challenger 2 tank commanders, The Telegraph understands.

OP TEAMWORK. A well-intentioned but catastrophically delivered time-wasting circus, that gets worse each time.
4 months out & theyโre planning for it already.

Just when we thought scaring crap out of everyone with emergency mobile phone alerts about disposable BBQ bans was peak voter detachment, they go & address concerns about fuel tax cost increases by showing us how much we are ripped off via Google Maps.
When fuel prices are high, finding the best deal matters.
That's why we've launched Fuel Finder in @googlemaps, helping you compare prices more easily and find your cheapest local option.

I know people are worried about fuel costs. Naturally, when prices rise the obvious government solution is toโฆ put them on Google Maps.
So from today, you can compare petrol and diesel prices to find the station that will screw you the least. ๐
Problem solved.
I know people are worried about fuel prices. And I get it. You get to the pump, watch the numbers climb, and wonder why it's costing so much more than it used to.
ย
The reality is that global events are pushing up costs, and families here at home are feeling the impact.
ย
But I won't accept that there's nothing I can do to help.
ย
That's why from today, you'll be able to see petrol and diesel prices on Google Maps, compare nearby stations and find the cheapest option before you fill up.
ย
It's a small change, but if there's a practical way to help people keep more money in their pocket, I'll do it.

What if pornbots upset useful idiots amplifing Russian accounts?
Petulant flounces caused by realisation that young women donโt really want to be friends could destroy ecosystem.
