@BigBearF1 Don't hear King Charles telling smashers like this do you?
[ All (non-symbolic) statues are horrible. It's nice to have a plaque to read though. I made pilgrimage to the coast and have my own version of this photo /somewhere/ on at least one of my many many broken computers. ]

@VerminusM That's like living under occupation. In Britain, the Royal Family owns so much land that anyone who needs to use a lot of land (such as the military) finds that they must lease it from the Royal Family. The Royals lend-out land for a living, so that we must pay them, forever...

@Cobratate This is what I did at the end of my school days. I drunk water, and I brushed my teeth more. Eventually I realized that I was doing this to mitigate the effect of sugary desserts and drinks on my digestive system. Sugar is a digestive agitator, which is why it's added to food.

@stengel You are correct. That was a failed suicide attempt. Those things can be very messy. Some kind of intervention is usually the next thing...

I've got nothing against King Charles personally—in fact, he seems like a decent and thoughtful man—but why the heck are we inviting the 77-year-old monarch of a medium-sized nation that committed something close to national suicide with Brexit to address a joint session of Congress? "Of more worth is one honest man to society," wrote Thomas Paine, "than all the crowned ruffians that ever lived." We are the nation that threw off a crowned ruffian and ended hereditary privilege to create a republic where the people rule. Happy 250th Birthday America.

@VerminusM First they were going to divide India by the regions; Indians viewed this as a project to weaken and divide them, but the Western Muslims didn't want to be minorities in a powerful India, not under a single polity. This is not, in fact, an irresolvable problem.

"The Sun Always Shines On the Righteous"...is a popular idiom; we like to say this on a /rainy day/. If I look for a source it seems to be garbled Gospel-of-Matthew but really I think it's a splice with "the Empire On Which the Sun Never Sets", which may prompt the rejoinder :
"Because God doesn’t trust an Englishman in the Dark"

@TRHLofficial It seemed to me like the family was under attack. But people tend to choose the wrong targets. They /seem/ to choose the wrong targets. But unless you're very close to the situation you might never really know.

@mehdirhasan I don't have the heart to tell him what has happened to basketball. You do it, Mehdi; you tell him. I don't want to be around when he hears.

Now [📓1:1] for comparison...
"In the Name of Allah--the Most Compassionate, Most Merciful."
-- Clear Quran
"In the name of Allaah, the Entirely Merciful, the Especially Merciful."
-- Saheeh
"With the name of Allah, the All-Merciful, the Very-Merciful."
-- Usmani
...both Usmani and Sah[ii]h offer near- perfect translations; Khattab's "Clear Quran" has discarded the meaning in pursuit of his-own chosen literary aesthetic. Sahiih reveals this mistake very well in its corresponding footnote.
quran.com/1/1
English

But if you read that one then it'll bias (dictate even) your interpretation of the meaning(s). So a simple Sahiih?
But the best texts are the ones with the most footnotes, the ones which best expose the original language.
So you could read a dozen Qur'aans and miss this, EG :
"The Way of those on whom You have bestowed Your Grace, not (the way) of those who earned Your Anger (such as the Jews), nor of those who went astray (such as the Christians)" -- [📓 1:7]
This (above, reportedly) is controversial but it is also perfectly accurate as it is there (via Wikipedia). It seems that the footnote (this is /the/ most important translation which I-myself don't own) becomes political, infusing some /MEDIEVAL/ bias? You can learn about the "anger" against the Jews by reading the Psalms[*], you can see that the Christians are "astray" /now/[**]. And you can read /carefully/ what the Qur'aan has to say about the Jews /after/ the exile, suspending any personal bias...

[* = They were becoming a bit /autistic/. ]
[** = This is the way I was forced to do it from the translations I have; the targets of these complaints are a mystery to every Qur'aan I have access to. ]

Everyone /here/ loves Elton John. 🤩
He say's he's lost his sight... Mine has deteriorated quite dramatically in the past few years. Not gradually though : step-by-step, and especially immediately-after I've had an eye exam; painfully, at night-time; as though I were being attacked by an internally-generated surgical laser (Space Lasers exonerated this time). One time, a few years ago, the right side of my face was swollen following one of these Rage Room sessions, quite freakishly; ultimately (due to some major extrusion acne) I lost a chunk of flesh from the inside of my brow-line, and gained a pock mark on my right cheek. Here and now I really do need to wear specs, all the time; which I can't do, because there's bugger-all[*] structural cartilage left supporting my airways and I need to regularly manipulate the (finger my) valves in order to breathe properly.
[* = Sir Elton is my stylistic inspiration here. 🖕🧐 ]
I'm sorry, that was a little off-topic. I am being very sloppy at the moment. I apologize.
No-one will reconstruct cartilage in Britain in my experience, not even the "cosmetic" people who normally would. They all insist that I should have a straightened, pointy little nose (for housework); that I should accept a standard Aryan -lady's reductionist procedure; whereas I think that my nose should be restored to its previous forward-projecting prominence (for sports). NOW they say they can't even /see/ my photos; perhaps someone is lasering at /their/ eyes? 🧠

אחיי ואחיותיי,
רגעים גורליים דורשים צעדים נועזים.
וזה מה שאנחנו עושים עכשיו.
אני שמח לבשר לכם שאני עושה הערב יחד עם חברי יאיר לפיד את המעשה הכי ציוני והכי פטריוטי שעשינו אי פעם, למען המדינה שלנו.
הערב אנחנו מתאחדים ומקימים את מפלגת "ביחד" בהנהגתי,
מפלגה שתוביל לניצחון גדול ולפתיחת עידן חדש למדינה האהובה שלנו.
ללפיד ולי יש דעות שונות במגוון נושאים - ואנחנו לא מסתירים את זה, להיפך, אנחנו גאים בזה.
אני גאה בזה ששני מנהיגים עם דעות שונות יכולים להילחם יחד לטובת עם ישראל, בדיוק כמו שהבנים שלנו, החיילים שלנו, נלחמים כתף אל כתף.
האחדות בינינו היא מסר לכל עם ישראל:
תם עידן הפילוג. הגיע עידן התיקון.
כשאנחנו עובדים ביחד, אנחנו מנצחים.
בממשלת השינוי בראשותי הספקנו ב*שנה אחת* מה שממשלות אחרות לא עשו ב*ארבע*:
הוצאנו את הכלכלה מגירעון ענק לעודף.
עצרנו את מזוודות המזומנים לחמאס.
סרבנו להכיל אפילו בלון תבערה בודד.
החזרנו את הביטחון האישי לרחובות.
אלה היו ימים טובים לישראל.
והפעם, בממשלה החדשה שנקים, זה יהיה גדול יותר, מהיר יותר וטוב יותר.
ממשלה של מקצוענים, מנכ"ליות, מנכ"לים ואנשי ביצוע, שחושבים רק על טובת ישראל.
המדינה תחזור להיות מנוהלת.
אנחנו מגיעים עם תכניות עבודה מוכנות, כדי לא לבזבז אף רגע.
זה צעד גדול לתיקון המדינה - אבל ממש לא הצעד האחרון.
אתם תראו עוד מהלכים ועוד הפתעות, שישנו את פני המדינה.
ביום הראשון לממשלה החדשה בראשותי:
נקים ועדת חקירה ממלכתית לטבח השבעה באוקטובר כדי להביא אמת למשפחות,
ותשובות לכל עם ישראל.
נוביל חוק שירות לכולם, ונפסיק לממן השתמטות אפילו בשקל אחד.
נקצוב כהונת ראש ממשלה לשמונה שנים, וזה יחול קודם כל עליי.
נשמור על אדמות ארצנו ולא נמסור סנטימטר לאויב.
נחזק יהדות מקרבת, טובה ומכילה, בלי כפייה.
מעל לכל - נדאג שצעירות וצעירי ישראל, שמשרתים ונותנים כל כך הרבה מנפשם ומגופם למדינה, יוכלו לבנות כאן את העתיד שלהם.
**
לא בפעם הראשונה, יאיר לפיד מוכיח מנהיגות.
שאצלו - טובת המדינה באמת מעל הכל.
יש בו את אומץ ההחלטה ואת נדיבות המעשה.
חברי המפלגה המעולים שלך, מיש עתיד, מתחברים הערב לחברותיי ולחבריי למשפחה אחת גדולה - ביחד!
בקרוב נחזור לממשלה של "אנחנו" ולא אני.
נוביל את העם בדרך בה מאמינים רוב גדול של אזרחי ישראל,
דרך הימין הליברלי הציוני:
עוצמה מדינית ובטחונית, יחד עם בית לכול הציבור הישראלי.
כל ישראלי ירגיש כאן רצוי, אהוב, ומכובד - גם אם לא הצביע לי.
בקרוב יבואו ימים טובים לכל עם ישראל.
ה׳ עוז לעמו יתן, ה׳ יברך את עמו בשלום.

@RmSalih If you continue to insult Khadiijah 💰, our revered mother of the investment-in-the believers in this way, then may Allah be /greatly displeased/ with YOU.

@RmSalih Don't be so negative. And self-contradictory.

Only around 2% of Muslims globally live in the West.
98% of us live in Muslim lands or lands to which we are indigenous (India, China, Russia etc).
In major Western nations our numbers are around 6% or below. In the US and Australia it's about 1%.
Even if we wanted to take over the West, with numbers like that it ain't gonna happen.
