@Mappy6984 He clearly has a neurological condition. He’s still being an idiot, but his speech and gait are clearly ataxic.

@NoContextHumans Am a respiratory doctor. I treat very severe asthmatics. I can’t think of any that have a disabled parking permit solely for their asthma. If your asthma is that disabling get better treatment. Asthma is not a condition that creates that sort of disability.

Woman knocks on students door over them parking in the streets and it all blows up this is one of the most funny and ridiculous encounters I've ever seen 😂😂

@Compass_Report @krassenstein You might have misspelt ‘president’…🤣

@krassenstein This is a clear abuse of power. Private companies should be free to make their own business decisions and hires without fear of political retaliation from the White House. Blocking a merger or threatening an industry giant over a personnel choice sets a dangerous precedent.

BREAKING: Trump is now threatening Netflix of consequences if they don’t fire Susan Rice.
Important context: Netflix is in a bidding war with Paramount for Warner Brothers. There are rumors that Trump may block the bid by Netflix.
This is exactly how dictators act. How are Republicans OK with this?

@UNRWA Defend this. I dare you. Do it out loud. With your whole chest! Hypocrites! Inhuman, heartless, ghouls each and every one!

“A new level of open and deliberate defiance of international law, including of the privileges and immunities of the United Nations, by the State of Israel.
Early this morning, Israeli forces stormed the UNRWA Headquarters, a United Nations site, in East Jerusalem.
Bulldozers entered the compound and began demolishing buildings inside it under the watch of lawmakers and a member of the government.
This constitutes an unprecedented attack against a United Nations agency and its premises.
Like all UN Member States and countries committed to the international rule-based order, Israel is obliged to protect and respect the inviolability of UN premises.
This comes in the wake of other steps taken by Israeli authorities to erase the Palestine Refugee identity.
On January 14, Israeli forces stormed into an UNRWA health centre in East Jerusalem and ordered it to close.
Water and power supplies to UNRWA facilities - including health and education buildings - are also scheduled to be cut in the coming weeks.
This is a direct result of legislation passed by the Israeli parliament in December, which stepped up existing anti-UNRWA laws adopted in 2024.
These actions, together with previous arson attacks and a large-scale disinformation campaign, fly in the face of the ruling in October by the International Court of Justice, which restated that Israel is obliged under international law to facilitate UNRWA’s operations, not hinder or prevent them. The court also stressed that Israel has no jurisdiction over East Jerusalem.
There can be no exceptions.
This must be a wake-up call.
What happens today to UNRWA will happen tomorrow to any other international organisation or diplomatic mission, whether in the Occupied Palestinian Territory or anywhere around the world.
International law has come under increasing attack for too long and is risking irrelevancy in the absence of response by Member States.”

@AntSpeaks Not brilliant. Arrogant, soulless deflection from the crimes of Israel. Greta Thunberg is not the story. The death of innocents is the story, be it in Gaza or in Iran. This is NOT the gotcha she thinks it is.

Lovely (and depressingly accurate) prose.

The Nation of Hamsters: A Love Story. Trained to Run the Wheel, Conditioned to Love the Cage, and Programmed Never to Ask for a Key. Pull up a chair, sweetheart, but don't get comfortable. Comfort is not on the menu. Comfort is for the people upstairs—the penthouse crowd with their silk smiles and steel boots—while the rest of us are told to be grateful for the crumbs and call it character-building. You’ve been sold a bedtime story. Liberty. Choice. Opportunity. A darling little fairy tale, read nightly by well-paid anchors with perfect teeth and vacant eyes. They croon it so smoothly you don't notice your wallet missing, your future pawned, your brain gently wrapped in bubble wrap and labeled fragile—do not think too hard. Let's stop pretending this circus is run by clowns. The clowns are the distraction. The ringmasters don’t wear red noses; they wear tailored suits and invisibility. They don't campaign; they commission. They don't argue in public; they decide in private. The elected puppets are just there to wiggle and smile, to give you the adorable illusion that your little X on a ballot means something. It means as much as clapping during a pre-recorded show. Education? Please. Education is kept on a strict diet—just enough calories to keep the workforce upright, never enough to make it dangerous. You are trained, not taught. Conditioned, not enlightened. The goal is not curiosity; it's compliance. Ask fewer questions. Memorize more nonsense. Sit still. Ring the bell. Repeat. Graduate with debt and gratitude. Perfect. They don't want thinkers. Thinkers are messy. Thinkers ask why the ladder keeps getting taller while the rungs keep disappearing. They want operators. Box-tickers. Button-pushers. People exhausted enough to confuse survival with success and burnout with virtue. And while you’re busy running faster on a treadmill bolted to the floor, the vault is being emptied. Your wages shrink, your hours grow, your safety nets quietly develop "administrative issues." Benefits evaporate. Promises expire. Retirement becomes a charming antique concept, like pensions or honesty. And somehow—miraculously—the money always ends up back where it started: in the hands of people who already had too much of it. Media, bless its heart, is the lullaby. Don’t call it news; call it mood management. You're told who to fear, who to mock, who to blame—and never, ever who's actually picking your pockets. They keep you fighting your neighbor over scraps while the banquet disappears behind velvet ropes. Here's the punchline, darling, and it’s not funny: the system works exactly as designed. The problem isn't that it's broken. The problem is that it’s brilliantly effective—at extracting, exhausting, and anesthetizing. And the most tragic part? The decent, overworked, underpaid people—good people—are coaxed into defending the very arrangement that's squeezing the breath out of them. Loyalty to a myth is a powerful sedative. It’s an exclusive club, all right. Very chic. Very closed. And you’re not a member—you’re the product. The audience. The resource. The punchline. Smile for the cameras. Go back to work. And whatever you do—don’t wake up. If you enjoyed this piece and want to fuel more unapologetic truth-telling, consider buying me a coffee. It keeps the words flowing and the fire burning. ➡️ buymeacoffee.com/alvian.alvian

@JamesKAArcher @davidvance We did that with Palestine, let’s not do it again.

@davidvance If we deported all the lazy arsed racists and all the lazy thinking racists then our country would be on an upward curve in a matter of months.
You could always have one of our overseas territories and make it your own.

Would you support the deportation of all Pakistanis from the UK?

@TatyanaHeard12 Fantastic….@runningchin hopefully she’ll follow some more of our former players to wear the Red Rose but to have inspirational role models like you @TatyanaHeard12 in the game is just brilliant.

@micah_erfan Thoughts and prayers only work if loaded with action and directed at a problem, otherwise they are as effective as an empty magazine locked in a display cabinet.. good for show, but easily ignored….
Do something different? Maybe?
