This is genuinely vile.

Displaced Lebanese wary as ceasefire between Israel and Hezbollah begins Tensions linger as evacuees await clarity on the ceasefire’s terms before risking a return to war-torn villages.

Many in Lebanon told me they don’t trust this ceasefire. Some went to check their homes but didn’t stay.

Many expect a resumption of fighting at some point.

those fucking 3 second half chances are gonna haunt me

the thing is there’s no one we can bring on on the right hand side to really improve that - both defensive control wise and in attack either one of saka and timber are so missed

happy with the performance generally but doku down the right against madueke and mosquera is the thing giving me worry

cant believe we’re being subjected to peter dury and gary neville plus jamie carragher for a game like this

This is the longest match in the history of football

The UK not being involved in the war again...

Dignified segregation 😌 famously all trans people want is their own segregation

This BBC immigration and asylum story is a moral panic. Poorly evidenced, generalised panic about a marginalised social group. Next week, the government will respond with a new 'crackdown'. This will then further exacerbate public anxiety.

You know who wins from all of this, Nigel Farage.

More than a fifth of UK’s ‘austerity children’ scarred by poverty, study says Researchers say hardship is a direct legacy of welfare benefit cuts imposed by Tory governments in recent years

More than a fifth of all “austerity generation” British children have been scarred by poverty for at least half their childhood, a new study shows.

This is the legacy of the Tory governments who proudly gutted the safety net by tens of billions. www.theguardian.com/society/2026...

I may look ethnically ambiguous and have an ethnically ambiguous name and yet some how these white people are always spot on

sometimes it gets to a point where im almost impressed that someone has managed to mistake me for the other south asian in the room

Much to the discomfort of several who prefer neat binaries, the Irish, Welsh and Scots were the extended arm of the British empire in India, Africa, and the Caribbean. The graveyards littered across the former empire tell that story.

Without Odegaard technical level is just not there to play through a press like Bournemouth’s. Couldn’t play through them all game and the second goal came from, again, giving ball away trying to play out.

"five trillion. That’s roughly the number of search queries that Google processes every year, translating to tens of millions of wrong answers that the AI Overviews are providing every hour — and hundreds of thousands every minute, the analysis calculated."

So maybe we should pass laws that punish the giant corporations for their abusive business practices instead of laws that won’t help kids and will force ICE watch activists to upload their government ID to platforms that will hand them over to Trump in a heartbeat

In the 1980s, the UK media responded to an increase in visibility/support of gay people with a relentless, well-funded, Right-Wing campaign against gay rights, and when support went down, allowing Thatcher to bring in Section 28, the media turned around and blamed gay people for demanding too much.

Lebanon: ICRC outraged by deadly strikes in densely populated areas The International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) is outraged by the devastating death and destruction in densely populated areas across Lebanon today following intensified military operations.

Difficult to describe how unusual it is for @icrc.org to speak publicly like this.

"Heavy explosive weapons with wide-area effects struck densely populated urban areas, including the capital Beirut, without effective advance warnings."

ICRC Outraged by Deadly Strikes in Densely Populated Areas

So who's the theocracy here?

Shit stays the same: likelihood of Israel doing another war goes up Bds the fuck out of Israel: likelihood of Israel doing another war goes down

Look I even made a terrible graph explaining the Crisis in the Middle East ™️

Every Middle Easterner who knows anything is going to be warning the world that you cannot trust Israel while we get ignored while Israel triggers another war and fucks it all up again.

Understand this if nothing else: Israeli politics needs war. That’s how they resolve tensions between them.

1 nil to The Arsenal in Lisbon is it
