This Australian's reply to Trump's rant about “NATO not being there for America” is perfect.
"Mate. You run a country with 600,000 homeless people sleeping on the street tonight. A country where 40% of adults can't cover a $400 emergency without borrowing money. A country where insulin costs more than a car payment and people are rationing it to survive. A country where medical debt is the number 1 cause of bankruptcy. A country where women are dying in hospital car parks because doctors are too scared of abortion laws to treat a miscarriage.
You lock up more of your own citizens than any nation on earth. More than China. More than Russia. More than North Korea. The land of the free has 2 million people in cages, and a quarter of them haven't even been convicted of anything. They're just too poor to make bail.
Your life expectancy is going backwards. You're the only developed nation where that's happening. Your infant mortality rate is worse than Cuba's. Your kids do active shooter drills between maths and English while you sell the gunmaker's stock to your mates.
Your minimum wage hasn't moved in 15 years. You've got teachers working 2 jobs and veterans sleeping under bridges and you just spent a trillion dollars flattening a country that didn't attack you.
And you’ve got a convicted felon, adjudicating raping, paedophile protecting, porn star shagging insurrectionist running the biggest dumpster fire war campaign since the Taliban in Afghanistan thanked you very much for losing again.
And you're calling Greenland poorly run?
Greenland has universal healthcare. Free education. One of the lowest incarceration rates in the world. Nobody goes bankrupt there because they got sick. Nobody dies in a waiting room because their insurance said no.
'NATO wasn't there when we needed them." When exactly was that, champ? September 11? Because NATO invoked Article 5 for the first and only time in history FOR YOU. Soldiers from dozens of countries deployed, fought, bled, and died in Afghanistan FOR YOU. Australia wasn't even in NATO and we still showed up. For 20 years.
And you pulled out at 2am without telling anyone and left them to deal with the mess.
So maybe before you start calling other countries poorly run, have a look at your own backyard, you spray-tanned aluminium siding salesman. The only thing poorly run in this picture is your f----- mouth."

#WalterKoenig also did a piece into camera to help advertise the convention, which was included in this advert.

I didn't know Liz Sladen was leaving, I didn't read newspapers or see anything on TV. Before that I didn't know Jon Pertwee was leaving either.
#DoctorWho was even better when we didn't know. Pertwee/Baker was my first regeneration and it was an amazing surprise.

Alexa can't tell the difference between "L" and "W". If you want to know if it's going to rain, you can say "Awexa, what's the leather today"

So. Today a friend digitised a 40 year old 1/4" audio tape reel. Here's 22 year old student me interviewing my favourite author Terrance Dicks about his Doctor Who Target novelisations. I've kept the beer gulping in at the start! #TerranceDicks @DWASonline @ChrisChapman81

Six wheels, bright pink and a chauffeur behind the wheel. This should be interesting. 👀
FAB 1 from Thunderbirds is the next car taking on Scalextric Top Time.
The Mercedes-AMG GT3 currently leads with a 7.84 second lap, but can Lady Penelope’s ride go even quicker? 🏁

Oi, @motorolaUK . Turn of that ridiculous "hello you" push notification. 1000s of users are trying to turn it off and failing.
Pissing off your customers is not how you sell phones.
