EU members reject push to suspend association agreement with Israel Spain, Slovenia and Ireland failed to win the unanimity needed to limit the country’s preferential access to the single market.

Shameful position by Italy (& Germany of course) blocking the suspension of the EU-Israel trade agreement today.

But this isn’t the end of the matter. This will go down very badly indeed in Italy. Rise up friends!

Thrash is a terrifying movie about the real-life danger of the savage, ruthless predators that unapologetically terrorize communities with grisly mass-death and mayhem.

And also about sharks.

Satellite images reveal scale of Israeli demolitions as Lebanese villages destroyed BBC Verify analysis found more than 1,400 buildings had been destroyed since 2 March.

It's easy to succumb to outrage fatigue. But this was four days ago. 2,000 killed. 1.2 million displaced. Entire villages demolished. A 40km 'buffer zone' (10% of Lebanon's territory) annexed. It's barely raised a resigned shrug, but it meets the criteria for war crime. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

ZOHRAN: “TBH, I don’t think too much about how Republicans portray me. The power of an ideology is judged in the worth of its delivery— to be told a city-run grocery store is implausible but $500 MILLION/day to kill ppl in Iran & Lebanon is necessary speaks to a broken politics.”

It’s so impressive how quickly Jesse can produce new fully thought out outstanding lyrics.

Putting aside how scummy and evil this is for a moment, I’m not sure we’re prepared for the level of political flashpoint that the 2026 World Cup is going to represent.

Kamlager-Dove: Stevie Wonder can even see how much this war is costing us. Prices have gone up, and this dude is wanting to spend $2 billion of your money every single day rather than help you. Fuck him.
