@sainsburys Have just realised a product bought from your Selly Oak shop today was missing one item. The phone line has been of no help (and in fact the number on the receipt was incorrect, so I had to find it online.) Very frustrating.

This is a story about how a reported antisemitism row involving comedian @reginalddhunter unfolded. If you've only read mainstream media you'll have a partial view. The story unravelled on social media and we now have much-needed context. It began with this in The Telegraph

@Rownsterr Arguably the original fave.

@MariaCVos Also secretly wondering if maybe her dad's name is Johann and her mom Anne-Marie or something 🤣. Forgot to mention the parent name combo in my list! Another fave.

One thing about Afrikaans people... we hate sticking to one way of spelling a name. We love a koppelteken and we'll take any opportunity we can get to add an accent to a name.

“What is the charge? Eating a meal? A succulent chinese meal?” A Member of Parliament in Australia pays tribute to an icon in a speech at the New South Wales Legislative Assembly. 😂

not to be melodramatic but this is actually civil society resistance and solidarity. like fuck the mods the reddit fishtank community wants to help this lebanese guy protect his aquarium from the israeli air force.

one of my favourite stories in olympic sport is the ongoing tale of katarina johnson-thompson and her hatred of the javelin. her entire face rn reads ‘i am not going to let this big fuckoff pencil steal my olympic medal’

"One of the world’s most prolific enemies of truth is Elon Musk. He is surely the global far right’s most significant figure, and he holds the world’s largest megaphone. As he may put it, a battle to defeat him is now inevitable – and it has to be won." theguardian.com/commentisfree/…

She came from nothing and not only had to fight to get to the Olympics, not only fight her opponents, but also an absolutely disgusting segment of society trying to destroy her life under the guise of pretending to care about women’s safety. An iconic performance, what a legend
