They can’t get trans people out of their minds, they’re obsessed. It’s very weird, and pretty creepy how much time and energy they spend thinking about trans people’s lives.

We need some British attendees to bring milkshaking to the global stage. If ever someone deserved it

Trump seems to be on a speedrun of saying all the wrong things this election cycle. I wonder if he’d openly endorse Maduro refusing to leave power

Hayman has cared for Star ever since he was a chick, carrying him around in his pocket. Once the duckling grew up, he developed a taste for real ale and started following his owner to the pub.

I don’t know how to feel about this barkeep raising a boozy duck.

In a worst-case scenario, if heavy rain affects the Seine’s flow and increases bacteria levels, the triathlon could be changed to a duathlon, without the swimming portion.

The marathon swimming competition could be relocated to the Vaires-sur-Marne Nautical Stadium in the greater Paris region, which already hosts rowing and canoeing competitions and can accommodate up to 15,000 spectators, organizers said.

It would be crazy if they suddenly made the triathlon a duathlon, but it does sound like there’s a real backup option.

He’ll either be caught leaving Europe (please don’t fuck that up EU), or any EU country will ship him back, if he doesn’t willingly go.

President Lyndon B. Johnson once said, “If you can convince the lowest white man he’s better than the best colored man, he won’t notice you’re picking his pocket. Hell, give him somebody to look down on, and he’ll empty his pockets for you.”

In the evening, the president spoke at Stanford University and caused controversy when, addressing poverty, he said that people will “figure out a way not to starve to death” and that there was no need to intervene because “in the end someone will solve” the issue.

You’re the president, the buck stops with you. It’s so incredibly lazy to assume NGOs will pick up the slack from your poor leadership.

As someone that loves going into an office, I wish they let people who didn’t stay at home.

I miss the aspect of the pandemic where people were freer to stay home if they chose, and the roads were so much emptier. It’s better for people to work how they’d like to, it’s better for me trying not to spend an hour commuting, and it’s better for the Earth to have fewer people burning carbon twice a day.

I wanna hear the story from the POV of the Americans who picked up a hitchhiking method actor in full blackface.

Netanyahu specifically had a very clear policy of keeping Hamas in power and also of trying to contain Hamas, because Hamas is a very good excuse for Israel to continue on its path of settlement, expansion, occupation, and rejection of a Palestinian state.

As long as Hamas is there, Israel doesn’t have to get into any kind of peace process, any kind of serious political negotiation. It doesn’t have to take the Palestinian demands for a state, for liberation, for rights as seriously. Even if we assume that Netanyahu is committed to getting rid of Hamas, he has an interest in staying in power now, and the best way to stay in power is to keep the war going on and on.

BB and his whole batch of right wing cabinet members has got to go.

Oh boy, more ‘20s vibes from Europe

It’s also a war crime, for those counting at home:

Intentionally directing attacks against personnel, installations, material, units or vehicles involved in a humanitarian assistance

UN, these are clearly materials involved in humanitarian assistance.

“My right, my wife’s, my children’s, to roam the roads of Judea and Samaria are more important than the right of movement of the Arabs," said Mr Ben Gvir, using a biblical term for the West Bank.

He then addressed Mohammad Magadli, an Arab Israeli journalist in the studio, saying: “Sorry Mohammad, but this is the reality, that’s the truth. My right for life comes before their right to movement.”

BBC. He has a number of repugnant views. There won’t be peace until BB’s cabinet is out of power.

North Korea’s still riding that high after supplying the Russians with weapons. They haven’t felt this important since Kim and Trump had their little lover’s spat in the last term.

In the eternal worlds of JoJo, it’s just too little too late.

Speaking to Saudi Arabian Foreign Minister Faisal bin Farhan Al Saud, Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi said Israel’s actions have extended beyond self-defense.
