I love whenever real candid videos have the exact setup and payoff of a 40s cartoon gag

The UK just deployed a political weapon it's only used once before in modern history.
And nobody is talking about what it just backfired into.
🚨 🚨 🚨 KEIR STARMER BANNED FOREIGN JOURNALISTS FROM ENGLAND TO STOP A RALLY → IT PRODUCED THE LARGEST ANTI-GOVERNMENT MARCH IN YEARS 🚨 🚨 🚨
The Home Office issued entry bans on 11 foreign nationals ahead of the 16 May 'Unite the Kingdom' rally in central London. Rebel News founder Ezra Levant. Multiple journalists. Commentators. Banned from the country. To stop a march.
Metropolitan Police deployed 4,000+ officers. Live facial recognition. Drones. Dogs. Horses.
The result: tens of thousands — some estimates reaching hundreds of thousands — flooding the streets of London anyway.
THE WEAPON:
→ UK Home Office entry bans — 11 foreign nationals barred from the country
→ Prime Minister publicly labeled the rally "extremist" and "hatred and division"
→ Starmer framed it as "a battle for the soul of our nation" in direct pre-rally statements
→ Police mobilized at a scale typically reserved for state visits or terror threats
→ Live facial recognition deployed across central London
→ Rival pro-Palestine march simultaneously permitted on the same day
→ Metropolitan Police prepared for 50,000 — the actual crowd exceeded preparation
→ Government rhetoric amplified international media attention across the US and Europe
THE TARGET:
→ A march organized around "national unity, free speech, and Christian values"
→ Organized weeks after Reform UK seized 1,350+ council seats and control of 13 councils in the 8 May local elections
→ Reform's gains came primarily at Labour's direct expense — Essex, Sunderland, council after council
THE MATH:
→ Reform UK: 1,350+ seats gained in a single election cycle
→ 13 councils flipped — including Essex with 42 seats
→ Starmer's response: ban journalists, deploy 4,000 officers, call the march extremist
→ Outcome: the bans became the story, the march became a symbol, and the streets filled anyway
Read that again.
💀 Every ban Starmer issued handed organizers a government-censorship narrative
💀 Every officer deployed turned a political rally into a national confrontation
💀 The suppression didn't shrink the movement — it advertised it
⚠️ Reform just proved it can win elections. The march proved it can also fill streets.
⚠️ Starmer called it "a battle for the soul of our nation" — and then lost the visual battle on live television
⚠️ This isn't a fringe moment. This is what a political realignment looks like in the streets.
They're showing you the arrests and the police lines.
They're NOT showing you what this sequence actually means — a government that just lost 1,350 council seats in one night responded to the aftermath by banning journalists and calling a march extremist, and the streets answered with the largest visible opposition mobilization in years.
You don't ban foreign journalists to stop a fringe event. You ban foreign journalists when you're afraid of what the footage will show. And you only deploy 4,000 officers with drones and facial recognition when you already know the crowd is going to be too large to ignore.
Process that.
Most people won't see this. RT to change that. 🔥
I'll keep you updated as this unfolds, turn on notifications this is EXTREMELY important.

@RFitness0612 Love yourself as you are. You are worthy as you are. Make your own choices, but appreciate yourself and don't let others decide for you.

@tetsuya_00x @tsuruchan2438 Very true, in many cases. Which is sad because we need strong parties that are healthy and think differently to be a successful nation.

私は日本人だから、米国人、特にNewYorkers の心理がよく分かりません。
そこで米国人にお尋ねしたい。
このポストに書かれているように、イスラム過激派による9.11の悲劇を経験したNYがなぜムスリムの市長を選んだのですか?
その判断基準は何だったのですか?
その市長が米国人よりも移民に優しい政策を採ることは事前に十分に想定きたはずですが...

How the hell did the city that experienced the biggest Islamic terrorist attack in history vote for a Muslim mayor?

@SXR123 Daddy's money is buying a lot of publicity and accolades.

I hope Mixtape wins Game of the Year.
No, seriously. I want it to win. Give the industry plant the award it wants that most players already don't respect anymore.
It winning would just seal the deal. If it wins literally any award, not even GOTY, it just adds fuel to the fire.
For the record, if you enjoy the game, that's fine. There's no need to harp on what enjoyment some people get out of it. It's fine that it's a linear game, with a linear story, with little interaction needed from the player—I'm not being facetious or two-faced here. If you enjoy it, that's totally fine.
I've played flash games, old games, new games, indie games, AAA games, VN's, all of them with various ways to play and limited to extensive ways to interact with the game.
What's upsetting is the sheer level of support this "indie" game is seeing across every outlet. Playstation, Xbox, defending it, every "gaming" reviewer giving something with limited player choice glowing reviews while other games get snubbed is disheartening to say the least.
Seeing people's hard work, love and dedication be cast aside because enough money was dumped is a bit of a buzzkill.

@basaru_1106 I think it was the Hygoog. Always loved Zeon mobile suits, and seeing it animated was inspiring.

Henry Cavill is one of Hollywood’s most dedicated Warhammer 40,000 fans, who also owns a full Adeptus Custodes army.
He was filming the Highlander reboot in Poland. While on set near the city’s cathedral, the owner of local games store ROLEY surprised him with a box set of Custodes miniatures, his favorite faction.
Photos captured Cavill’s excitement like a kid unwrapping a gift, and the pics quickly went viral.
In return, he signed an Ultramarines helmet for the store, now one of its most prized displays.

It’s dinner time.
I was given an in-app code for a Panda Express.
I decided I wanted Panda Express.
I download the app.
Oh cool. I don’t have to make an account. I can just use one of my Gmail accounts.
I decide to use my high school Gmail.
This would prove to me undoing.
I fill out my & my wife’s order. I checkout.
It has a place to input my name… but already has a name:
“RANDOM ASS DUDE”
First name RANDOM ASS.
Last name DUDE.
The Panda Express app has pulled my Gmail name that I made in high school.
No worries.
It allows me to erase and change the name.
I change it to my real first & last name.
I put in the order. It tells me it’s ready in less than 15 minutes.
I drive over and come in to the store.
“I’m here for a pickup order,” I say.
“What’s the name?” the female cashier says.
I give her my first & last name.
….
“I’m sorry sir. I don’t have an order under that name.” She says.
“Oh.” I say. “I got a text saying it was ready.”
“What’s the number?”
I give her my phone number. She looks it up.
She looks at me.
She looks around.
“Sir, I don’t have an order under that name. Is it possibly under another name?”
Oh no.
“Uh…” I say. “Well… it could be under RANDOM ASS DUDE.”
Big smile on her face. I’ve been had.
She rings me up, but then gets pulled away by her manager.
A couple minutes later another girl comes over.
“Sorry, sir. What’s the name on your order?”
Oh boy.
“Well…” I say. “It’s probably under RANDOM ASS DUDE.”
Big smile on her face.
“Ah, so YOU are RANDOM ASS DUDE, huh?”
“I guess I am.” I say.
“Here you go. You have a good day sir.”

When the March 2011 Tsunami hit his home town of Ishinomaki, Hideaki Akaiwa was at work. Realising his wife was trapped in their home, he ignored the advice of professionals, who told him to wait for the army to arrive to provide search and rescue.
Instead he found a wetsuit, jumped in the raging torrent - dodging cars, houses and other debris being dragged around by the powerful current, any of which could have killed him instantly - and navigated the now submerged streets in pitch dark, freezing water until he found his house.
Swimming inside, he discovered his wife alive on the upper level with only a small amount of breathing room, and pulled her out to safety.
If he had waited for the army, his wife of 20 years would be dead.
Oh, and if that’s not enough badassery for one lifetime, Hideaki realised his mother was also unaccounted for, so jumped back in the water and managed to save her life also.
For weeks after the disaster, Hideaki entered the water every day on a one-man search and rescue mission, saving countless lives and proving that two natural disasters in a single day - and insurmountable odds - can’t stand in the way of love.
This man is a hero.

@tuuu28283 Have some as a gift from my parents when they lived in Japan. Use them with noodles and asian dishes often. Use chopsticks whenever we eat out at any restaurant that provides them. Would love some high quality ones as a gift.
What are a good, long lasting pair like?
