It just too me 30 minutes to cancel HBOMax. They threw up every roadblock and I finally had to have a human cancel it. They were pretty unpleasant. I guess a lot of people are canceling. Good. #HBO #paramountmerger

Flavio Bolsanaro has said he will cancel Brazil's switch from a 6 day week to a 5 day one, that included no pay cut. Instead Brazilians will be forced to work 6 days a week. You have just voted away one day of your lives every week for nothing.

Gaza has more amputee children than anywhere on the planet and they will still tell you that Israel is not committing a Genocide. These same people would have lied for the Nazis.

Kick Israel out of international football. No world Cup, no European competition (it's not like they're part of Europe). Israel has murdered thousands of Palestinian athletes yet Fifa and UEFA continue to sports wash Israel's genocide. Kick them out! #BDS

Ireland is pushing a motion to ban Israel from FIFA and UEFA. It has made JD Vance very mad. It's time to remove Israel from world sport, don't you agree?

If you just substitute the words 'working age' for 'fighting age', suddenly the arrival of youngish men and women doesn't sound threatening. Rather, it sounds like exactly what we need for an ageing population.

Are you conflating Judaism/Jewish history with Zionism? The former go back millennia, the latter only 100 yrs. Zionism was always a political ideology predicated on the establishment of an ethnostate, which would be acceptable if only it didn't involve a racist endeavour to eliminate another people.

A second Brexit referendum is a truly stupid idea. Straight to rejoin. No fucking about. There’s no logical argument, economic or otherwise, for not rejoining. The British electorate has proven that they don’t have a clue and are easily duped by disinformation campaigns and foreign interference.
