Happy Earth Day.

"We must not give an inch of space or a second of airtime to the far right... except on this one issue" is an attitude cropping up in response to an increasing number of events. Not great!

I see people arguing that Tucker Carlson et al have simply come around to a 'left-wing' and 'pro-Palestinian' position. No, they have not. They are simply mining a long tradition on the American far-right and using anger over Israel to promote antisemitism. There is no good outcome from this

As in Gaza, now in Lebanon.

"Is your family supportive of your transition?" Bitch, my aunty just embarrassed me in the pharmacy because I looked "sooooooo handsome". They could stand to be less supportive tbh

Solidarity with the fuel protests, but why for the love of Christ is the US embassy not being blockaded 24/7?

'We're sinking deeper': Iranians brace for infrastructure strikes as Trump deadline nears Ordinary Iranians respond to the US president's threat to destroy Iran's power plants and bridges unless it opens the Strait of Hormuz.

quite the insane (since removed without explanation) quote was in this BBC piece. www.bbc.com/news/article...

"Radin, also in his 20s and living in Tehran, said: "About them hitting energy infrastructure, using an atomic bomb, or levelling Iran. My honest reaction is that I'm OK with all of these."

Starmer’s Iran war cover-up exposed YouTube video by Declassified UK

We visited ‘RAF’ Fairford with a ladder and some ingenuity and saw pallets of 2,000lb bombs being loaded onto US warplanes bound for Iran.

A thread on the reception of the Easter rising among Algeriam nationalists.

BREAKING: Israel's Knesset has passed a law to execute Palestinian detainees.
Death by hanging. Mandatory sentencing. No pardon. 90 days to carry out.

It applies through military courts with a 96% conviction rate. It does not apply to Israelis.

It is good when bigoted spectator hacks feign reaching for the smelling salts!

The "young men are overwhelmingly turning to the right" narrative isn't just contradicted by every stat we have, it stops us talking about something weirder: the UK/US' insane rightward shift means ANY young man involved in frontline right wing politics is now a bigger freak than we can even imagine

I guess boycotting Harry Potter feels pretty trivial to me, because I'm an adult. if someone told me I shouldn't eat Gerber's baby food, I'd be like, that is no problem. I'm way ahead of you

Israel a step closer to controversial death penalty bill Israel's Knesset National Security Committee has approved a proposed death penalty bill against Palestinian detainees. It will now advance to a final vote expected next week.

'controversial' ? FFS! It is an abomination, a crime, a flagrant abuse of human rights based on apartheid. It is pure and evil racism.

You don’t even have to read the article, the headline says it all. Don’t advise me to “set sail” or throw Jack Sparrow gifs at me. Pirating it still gives it attention and tells the studios that people want this shit. I hope it completely bombs and HBO loses a ton of subscribers.

Amazing here, as the Times - whose political correspondent it was that this guy spread rumours about, claiming he was a Russian agent, because he’d written about the massive secret billionaire bung Labour Together took - joining in the rehabilitation process. After what, one month?

Every year, January to April, people accuse me of fearmongering in my reporting. Every year around this time, bills pass. And without fail, every year, the ratchet tightens.

And now Idaho just passed a bill that could put me in prison for years—for washing my hands in a bathroom.

Rowling was still tweeting yesterday falsely accusing Lin Yu-Ting of being male. She continues to do so with Imane Khelif.

So much for protecting women.

Olympic boxer Lin Yu-ting cleared to compete after sex eligibility review Olympic champion Lin Yu-ting has been cleared to return to international competition after World Boxing completed a review of her sex-eligibility status, ​opening the door for her to fight at the Asia...

Taiwanese boxer Lin Yu-Ting was demonized and harassed because JK Rowling claimed she was male. Her boxing career was disrupted for over a year. Now, she's been cleared to compete as female after further "sex eligibility reviews." This is going to happen again.

“Harry Potter stopped belonging to JK Rowling long ago…”

Is she cashing them royalty cheques, or nah?

Ooof

Any time you see McDowell in the media you've to remember that he just says shit to get attention.

The uncomfortable truth is that Ireland's unspoken role as the de facto Data Protection Officer for the EU is to be the protector of Big Tech against the EU's data protection rules.

Kind of interesting that this piece published at The Guardian acknowledges that these changes are at least partly a response to the freak out during the 2024 Olympics about Imane Khelif, when the guy writing the piece played a role in fanning those 2024 flames.

Meanwhile, you at the bus stop-

Elon, proudly: "I've raised an oblivious moron."

By the way, this has flashing red lights for a subtext all the way through it.

The librarian is autistic.

The head teacher at the school then pursued a course of action which would create a justification for firing without citing her autism as a reason.
