Don't argue with idiots (y'know, like the ones that believe a man can be a woman), there are better things to do with your time and intelligence. This fable rings true: Fable: DON'T ARGUE WITH DONKEYS The donkey said to the tiger: - "The grass is blue". The tiger replied: - "No, the grass is green." The discussion heated up, and the two decided to submit him to arbitration, and for this they went before the lion, the King of the Jungle. Already before reaching the forest clearing, where the lion was sitting on his throne, the donkey began to shout: - "His Highness, is it true that the grass is blue?". The lion replied: - "True, the grass is blue." The donkey hurried and continued: - "The tiger disagrees with me and contradicts and annoys me, please punish him." The king then declared: - "The tiger will be punished with 5 years of silence." The donkey jumped cheerfully and went on his way, content and repeating: - "The Grass Is Blue"... The tiger accepted his punishment, but before he asked the lion: - "Your Majesty, why have you punished me?, after all, the grass is green." The lion replied: - "In fact, the grass is green." The tiger asked: - "So why are you punishing me?". The lion replied: - "That has nothing to do with the question of whether the grass is blue or green. The punishment is because it is not possible for a brave and intelligent creature like you to waste time arguing with a donkey, and on top of that come and bother me with that question." The worst waste of time is arguing with the fool and fanatic who does not care about truth or reality, but only the victory of his beliefs and illusions. Never waste time on arguments that don't make sense... There are people who, no matter how much evidence and evidence we present to them, are not in the capacity to understand, and others are blinded by ego, hatred and resentment, and all they want is to be right even if they are not. When ignorance screams, intelligence is silent. Your peace and quiet are worth more. ❤️

@TimmehTimmehhh I left a very high paying corporate job to start a gardening business. Best decision of my life!

Anyone else feel like Australian corporate life has become completely cooked? Not sure if this is a rant or if I’m just burnt out, but Australian corporate life feels genuinely cooked at the moment. Hiring is a mess. So many jobs feel like they’re already filled before they’re advertised, but you still have to jump through 3–4 interviews, do the awkward “why do you want to work here” dance, then get ghosted or sent a generic rejection three weeks later. Then you finally get a job and half the time it’s endless restructures, new priorities, new managers, new acronyms, new “ways of working”, but somehow the actual workload only ever goes one way. The fake positivity does my head in too. Everyone pretending to be excited about “change” and “culture” while quietly drowning. Morning teas, RUOK emails, wellness webinars, all while people are doing the work of two or three roles and stressing about rent, groceries, fuel, mortgages, insurance, whatever else has gone up this week. And the commute stuff is insane. Dragging people back into offices so they can sit on Teams calls, lose two hours a day travelling, and spend more money they don’t have, all for “collaboration”. I don’t know. It just feels like the social contract has completely fallen apart. Work harder, get paid less in real terms, live further away, own less, pretend to be grateful, and keep smiling. Maybe I’m just jaded, but it honestly feels like a lot of us are becoming strangers in our own country. Like everything is technically “fine”, but it doesn’t feel like it’s built for normal people anymore. Anyone else feeling this, or have I just had one too many corporate town halls?

I don't think any nation's international reputation has collapsed as fast as India over the past three or four years.

Today I resigned from @AmnestyUK after 40years. As a women's rights specialist I could no longer condone their failure to balance women's rights with trans rights @SexMattersOrg @Transgendertrd @FrancesShipsey @amnestynews @chiaracapraro @AllianceLGB @WRNBarnet @ruthdraper17

Remember 19-year-old Diana Bahadour, who was shot and killed by the Islamic regime’s security forces for protesting for a free Iran. She had her whole life ahead of her. Never forget the evil of the Islamic regime in Iran.

Great, Another golden opportunity to butcher the Iranian people! FUCK IRGC!

I do remember. It was 2 months ago.

The receipts. I feel bad for the brave Iranian people

“Help is on the way” The only help I see is to the Tehran regime ….

The art of surrender.

My frustration with Trumps mind games comes from what it’s doing to the Iranian people. Millions of voiceless people hoping—and praying—that this 47 year Islamic nightmare might actually come to an end. I can’t begin to imagine the fear, the anxiety and the hope. So yes, while the mind games might be for the regime, it still stings, discourages and confuses. I get it. Perhaps it’s even necessary. But this has been going on for what feels like a lifetime. Imagine what Iranians are going through? Just get it done. Finish the job. The regime is full of religious lunatics who cannot be trusted.

They didn't die for a deal! They died for FREEDOM! 🇮🇷⛓️‍💥 FINISH THE JOB!!! @POTUS

SPOT ON. This deal won’t last a second. You simply can’t trust the IRGC. Once a terrorist, always a terrorist. Just wait and watch !

To the Iranian people, I am so sorry! 😔 I will never stop advocating for regime change and freedom in Iran 🇮🇷

If President Trump agrees to a 60-day ceasefire extension based on vague Iranian promises to “discuss” nuclear issues, it’s game over. That pushes the crisis into late July or early August, when major military operations become far less likely ahead of the midterms. Once the military leverage disappears, meaningful nuclear concessions disappear with it. Ballistic missile restrictions will be nonexistent. Iran will get billions in sanctions relief—while repeatedly using Hormuz as a tool of blackmail. Tehran will have won at the negotiating table what it lost on the battlefield.

If Trump agrees to a 60 day ceasefire, he is a total moron and needs to fire the entire negotiating team. He would be destroying his base and make the US look like total fools. Everyone knows I love Trump but that would be the last straw!!

American soldiers and tens of thousands of Iranians didn't sacrifice their lives for Trump to sign JCPOA 2.0.

I can't believe Trump missed his son's wedding to caputulate to Iran.

Everybody waiting for the wanker to resign. And he's unashamedly still clinging on.

It appears he was talking to himself.
