@bbcbrasil The UK should be rewarded by ending the slave trade, against the will of african kingdoms, at the expense of a lot of resources such as manpower and money.

@nytimes Sex at birth is the same as in any time of anyone's life, you idiots. Sex does not change. It's sex, plain and simple.

Keith - am happy to 'let it go'. Haven't said a word about Khelif in over a year. It's others who keep banging on about it - not me. Maybe take it up with them? My point stands - she was assigned female (girl) at birth, in their world that can never be changed. It's not my view.

Let it go @LeoVaradkar. Imane Khelif won't ever be beating up women in the boxing ring again after today's IOC ruling.
Leo Varadkar@LeoVaradkar

@aoifeh1916 Hey @grok Has Imane Khelif been confirmed as a biological male? Has Imane every claimed to be trans? Is being trans or intersex or trans possible in Algeria where Imane is from or must one adhere to the sex assigned to you at birth?

@Miroandrej One trans woman has competed in the Olympics since 1999. She didn't place. But sure, let's mandate genetic testing for all women athletes. Totally proportionate.

I despair about the stupidity of these people: “If these rules are adopted, it could mean that when you sign your daughter up to play sport, she may be subjected to sex testing just to participate. [Nikki Dryden, a human rights lawyer and former Olympic swimmer.] So it's better for the daughter to face a trans woman or a male DSD athlete throughout their sporting career, rather than undergoing a once in a lifetime cheek swab? theguardian.com/sport/2026/mar…

@edtchirp @Miroandrej Many men pretending to be women competed (and won) in women's sports. That is going to end after sex testing.

Why is the Transatlantic slave trade worse than any of the many other examples of this appalling behaviour ?
Lewis.B.Rendell Official@Lewisrendell1

The UN just voted 123-3 to declare the transatlantic slave trade the “gravest crime against humanity” and start sniffing around for reparations. Ghana led the charge, naturally. Applause erupted. Of course it did! What a shit show 😂 Africans didn’t just participate in the slave trade, they ran the supply side with ruthless efficiency. Tribal kings rounding up rivals, Arab traders shipping them, selling their own flesh and blood for beads, guns, and profit centuries before a Yankee clipper showed up. Meanwhile, over a million white Europeans were dragged into slavery by the Barbary corsairs. Romans, Ottomans, Vikings, Mongols, every people on earth kept slaves. But only Western guilt is immortal. Funny how that works! Every single perpetrator and victim is dust. Not one living soul owned a slave or wore chains from that era. This isn’t justice; it’s retroactive inheritance fraud. You don’t get to pass down victimhood like a trust fund while the rest of us are told our ancestors’ sins are genetic. Britain didn’t just abolish the trade, we patrolled the seas, hanged slavers, and spent blood and treasure to end it while half the world was still merrily enslaving each other. We owe you precisely nothing. Not an apology, not a single taxpayer penny, not one brass farthing funnelled into the great African wealth-transfer casino. Descendants of slaves demanding cash from descendants of abolitionists is peak cosmic comedy. Build a civilisation instead of another sob story. Stop pickpocketing the future of English children for yesterday’s African quarrels, what a fucking joke if you think we will 😂 The natives of these isles aren’t paying. Not today. Not tomorrow. Not ever. Fucking cry about it.

It was John @JohnCleese... Other slavery, like Roman debt slavery, was nothing like the dehumanisatiom that happened with chattle slavery. Imagine standing on an auction block being bought and sold, and owned as live stock. Your kids owned as livestock. You even made to breed more in order to increase the headcount in the slave owners livestock property... youtu.be/SfbpsmbxE2c?si…

The International Olympic Committee’s decision on women’s sports could mark an important cultural tipping point. For years, there’s been a sharp divide between popular and elite opinion on this issue. While most Americans support keeping men out of women’s sports, celebrities and elite institutions have largely either succumbed to gender ideology or stayed silent. But now the IOC, arguably the most powerful governing body in international sport, has realigned itself with reality. This could give other elites the “permission” they need to finally admit what everyone has always known: men and women have real biological differences. And those differences matter in sports. We should welcome everyone who is willing to stand for truth and fairness—whether they joined us early or late. But we should especially remember the ones who spoke out early. Many of them have endured vicious shaming for their loyalty to the truth. They deserve our thanks, society’s trust, and—in some cases—an apology.

Hooray!!!! “The plan specifically includes the creation of a brand-new additional bus route to Stanley Park. This new local route will traverse the entirety of 8.5-km-long Stanley Park Drive — the park’s perimeter road. The route will begin and end at Waterfront Station.”
Kenneth Chan@iamkennethchan

This is #TransLink's new 15-year plan to overhaul the bus network in Vancouver, Burnaby & New Westminster. This includes new express routes, new crosstown routes, and routing changes, including rerouting busy downtown Vancouver routes. #vanre #vanpoli dailyhive.com/vancouver/tran…

@Toibin1 Show me these "men" who have been competing in women's Olympic sports? Are there any? You do realise this will only affect women, excluding many from competing because someone didn't feel they were feminine enough?
