Not Buying It

السودان أيضا تباد لكن لا بواكي لها

Pro-Israel accounts have been insisting all day that this photo of an Israeli soldier mocking a Palestinian woman is a fake image Turns out the same soldier was photographed by the New York Times

It’s 1989. You are a drunk teenager putting out a cigarette before going to a music club in Chicago. As you enter you hear a new kind of raw music that instantly blows you away. It’s Nirvana. You never heard of them. They are still two years away from their Nevermind breakthrough. It’s a concert of a lifetime. You still tell your kids about it frequently. Unfortunately it wasn’t recorded. Or so you thought. Unbeknown to you a Chicago live music enthusiast, Aadam Jacobs, took his tape recorder to the show and recorded the whole thing (as he has done 10,000 over a quarter century). The tape has been digitally cleaned up and is yours to enjoy online now for free. Make sure to share this with every single member of Gen X you know: archive.org/embed/ajc00795…

Molozlar içinde yaşayan ailesine bir bidon su taşırken İsrailli teröristlerin hava saldırısında katlettiği Filistinli küçük kızı asla UNUTMAYIN!

@Hezbolsonaro Apple maps has little coverage in Lebanon as a whole. Very few towns and villages in northern Leb either. Think it must be a country issue rather than "erasure"

Incredible. Online influencers launch a fake panic about Apple erasing southern Lebanese villages, and to "save the historical maps" someone makes a completely incorrect AI generated map and gets 5000 likes. You are doing the erasing!

@mishtal @BBCNews If bbc doesn't report what the Iranian leadership are saying, wouldn't it just be a propaganda outlet?

All morning this trash has been running as the @bbcnews headline. What has happened to this country and why are we funding this putrid anti-western Al-Jazeera wannabe? Iran is a toxic Islamist regime that slaughtered 10,000 of its own citizens. The U.S. doesn't need its trust!

@MarkLTighe Are there any charities in Ireland that aren't corrupt to the core?

Debunking some propaganda about Lebanon:. 1) Lebanon is a democracy. A pacted democracy organized through political sectarianism, with regular elections, voting & political competition. It is definitely an imperfect system, but no less a “democracy” than a state that practices +

@JohnDoy38195851 I'm struck by the guy changing from Dasha Bubyahina to Alchemy Drake. Total Max Power vibes. Would love to know his story

1913, Claddagh Girl A rare Autochrome image preserves a vanishing way of life. One of the earliest colour photographs ever taken in Ireland. Fourteen-year-old Máin Ní Tuathail sits barefoot against a stone wall in Galway in traditional Claddagh dress. 📷 Archives de la Planète

Finland tracked every gender-referred adolescent in the country for up to 25 years. Their psychiatric needs didn't improve after 'gender reassignment'. They surged. A landmark peer-reviewed study just dropped. Here's what it found. 🧵

The President's threat against Iran is genocidal, even by the strictest definition. It may be bluster, but that does not change our obligation. To work, a threat must be credible, and we must act accordingly. We attacked Iran. Any order to escalate our attack with nuclear weapons would clearly be immoral, and must therefore be rejected by every person in the chain of command. Anyone who carried such an order forward would become immediately complicit. That is the lesson of history, and those who fail it will be judged harshly by it--and by God. We can't have a Commander in Chief who threatens civilians, idly or in earnest. The President must be removed from office, for the good of the Republic, and the world.

Genesis 1 clearly states that God made the universe in six literal days.

@PeteFarrell14 I shop there periodically, have no massive grá for the current building, but the proposed building is ugly and, even worse, bland. It would do nothing but accelerate the enshittification of Dublin's built environment

People who say say they like the current Stephens Green Centre always go silent when you ask them the last time they shopped there

NEW: CNN photojournalist put in a chokehold by Israeli soldiers before the entire CNN crew was detained in the West Bank. CNN says the crew was detained for two hours. The Israeli military has released the following statement to CNN: “The actions and behavior of the soldiers in the incident are incompatible with what is expected of IDF (Israel Defense Forces) soldiers operating in the Judea and Samaria area.” They also noted that the incident would be “thoroughly reviewed.” Source: @JDiamond1

@ConlonAna90136 @Nick_Delehanty Just google her name

@Nick_Delehanty Where did you get this from can't corroborate it anywhere

Libya negotiated. Let's be precise about what happened to Libya. In 2003, Muammar Gaddafi made a strategic decision to abandon his weapons programs, open his country to international inspectors, and normalize relations with the West. He paid reparations for Lockerbie. He dismantled his nuclear program. He cooperated with Western intelligence against Al-Qaeda. He did everything that was asked of him. He negotiated. He complied. He normalized. In 2011, NATO bombed Libya for seven months. His own military turned against him with Western backing. He was captured in a drainage pipe. A mob sodomized him with a bayonet while Western officials watched via satellite feed. Hillary Clinton laughed about it on camera. "We came, we saw, he died." The man who gave up his deterrent in exchange for promises of security and normalization died in a drainage pipe while the people who made him those promises laughed at the footage of him being sodomized with a bayonet. And Libya, which had the highest GDP per capita in Africa, free healthcare, free education, housing subsidies, and a functioning welfare state, became a failed state with open slave markets within three years. This is what negotiated security guarantees look like. This is the documented outcome. Not a fringe case. Not a misunderstanding. The most complete, unambiguous illustration possible of what your weapons are worth the moment you give them up. The lesson is not complicated. The only deterrent is a deterrent you still possess. The moment you negotiate it away, you have nothing left to negotiate with.

The London Ambulances Attack: Of Course It Was A False Flag - The notion that the Iranian state would discredit itself by choosing to attack an ambulance service in London is crazy. Iran has not even attacked any hospitals or ambulances in Israel.  Iran craigmurray.org.uk/archives/2026/…

@wil_da_beast630 Never heard of this before. Can you recommend a book that references this?

I mean....yeah: they paid guys the equivalent of $10K per year (in a far poorer society) to do this - plus promising no "Hell." Also, IIRC - and I do - the woman had to continue using her learned skills "in her healthy marital bed, for the Good Husband who saved her from venery."

@KirstiMiller30 Doesn't change the fact that they are not women

There have been 13 Olympics that have allowed trans women to compete in the female category if they meet the hormonal and physical requirements of the trans sports policy. The results over 13 Olympic games suggests trans women massively underperform in elite womens sports. Since the IOC has created a rule for trans athletes to compete in 2003, over 81,000 people have become Olympians. Out of those 81,000 Olympians a total of 2 have been trans women & one came dead last the other came 37th out of 42. There isn’t a single trans or intersex woman dominating her sport. Even Caster Semenya, the most famous, & most successful, intersex woman athlete doesn’t “dominate” her sport. Caster has won a total of two Olympic golds medals & holds no world records. By contrast, Katie Ledecky has won a total of 9 Olympic gold medals and has broken 19 world records since 2013. Why is Katie Ledecky treated like a marvel, and Caster Semenya and transgender women are treated like mutants? There currently exists no evidence to suggest that trans women who elect to suppress testosterone (through, for example, gender affirming hormone therapy and/or surgical gonad removal) maintain disproportionate advantages over c_swomen indefinitely. More specifically, current evidence suggests any physical performance advantages trans women do not fall outside the range observed among XX women after 2 years of testosterone suppression. transresearch.org.au/post/trans-wom… youtu.be/B8CzqxhZk7I?si…
