I'm sure Trump will keep telling ships to trying to sail through this since he destroyed the Iranian army with his bare hands and all

This clip seems to me like somebody trying to bait Polanski into saying "of course it doesnt work" and Polanski saying "well, we did a session and the journalist said her tits got bigger so I guess it worked" in an attempt to bait the radio man to say "yeah, she was lying" and neither rising to it.

You can see how many people were around when Israel decided to bomb Ramlet el Bayda, Beirut

<sigh>

One reviewer used AI to review our manuscript.

How do we know?

Suggested papers to cite that do not exist. Some titles correct, but everything else is wrong or just fabricated out of whole cloth.

Requested citations for things I’ve said in review papers that were citing other papers.

oh wow it's like Iran and Venezuela are two wildly different countries whose governments respond very differently when attacked

Outdated intel likely led to deadly U.S. strike on Iranian elementary school, sources say The munition could have hit the school because old intelligence showed it to be a military target, according to four sources familiar with a U.S. military probe's preliminary findings.

Somehow, this story keeps getting worse:

"The ongoing investigation has so far found that the munition did not go off target, but rather hit the school because old intelligence showed it to be a military target, the four sources said."

Adorable!

I feel this strongly: I don't care. I am DISGUSTED that 175 little girls are dead and that thousands are dead across the region and that 1 million people are displaced in Lebanon alone. THIS IS EVIL.

Feminist groups @feministgreens.bsky.social and @libdemwomen.bsky.social have joined @transgreens.bsky.social, @pluslibdems.bsky.social, @sgprainbowgreens.bsky.social, @outforindy.bsky.social, @trans-yg.bsky.social in condemning the harassment of MP Hannah Spencer by two abusive gender-critical men

An article “More than one million foreign nationals are receiving benefits” (March 17, 2025) referred to the number of “foreign nationals” receiving benefits, and gave the rate of benefit claims for various nationalities. In fact, the particular DWP data on which the article was based recorded the nationality of claimants when registering for a National Insurance number, rather than the nationality at the time they were claiming benefits, so that some claimants might have since acquired UK citizenship, and would not be foreign nationals at the time they were claiming benefits. This correction has been published following an upheld ruling by the Independent Press Standards Organisation. Advertisement

Fully *one year later*, the Telegraph has been forced (by @ipso.co.uk) to admit that it was lying about foreign nationals claiming benefits.

If you're wondering why there's so many anti-trans articles written by cis people while so few positive ones written by actual trans people it's because they're intentionally being silenced

Jury restriction plan clears first hurdle despite Labour dissent The justice secretary says the limits are required to stem a growing backlog of cases in crown courts.

David Lammy will go down in British history as the man who destroyed faith in the justice system.

Labour MP's who abstained rather than voting against this are pathetic cowards who deserve to lose their seats tonight yet alone at the next election.

Good to see our British Media reporting the really important stuff

Red Flag Alert - Anti-Trans Genocide in the USA - #3 | Lemkin Institute

The Lemkin Institute has issued a *THIRD* trans genocide warning, noting the next stage is widespread containment - and this was before the 4th Circuit ruled today that states can essentially do whatever they want to make trans people "appreciate their sex".

Report Confirms Columbia Ignored Decades of Doctor’s Sexual Abuse Columbia commissioned the report after ProPublica’s investigation into how the university protected former OB-GYN Robert Hadden. The school also announced the resignation of two top doctors who were i...

NEW: Decades after patients first warned Columbia University that one of its doctors sexually abused them, the school is acknowledging a culture of silence that allowed the abuse to continue and some school administrators are finally facing consequences.

Ugly laws: The blueprint for Trump’s anti-homeless crusade DC’s crackdown is just the latest in a long war on being poor and disabled in public.

On Wednesday, the Trump administration announced a new initiative that would lead to more unhoused veterans being forced into guardianships.

It's part of a long history of poor disabled people's civil liberties being threatened.

The Bombing of Iran’s Azadi Stadium Is Straight Out of Israel’s Gaza Script Israel has long targeted sport facilities and athletes in Gaza. Now with US help, it’s doing the same thing in Iran.

ESPN isn't covering the bombing of one the most famous stadiums on earth so.... my latest piece @thenation.com "The Razing of Iran’s Azadi Stadium Is Straight Out of Israel’s Gaza Script" www.thenation.com/article/soci...

Drone strikes in Haiti.
Drone strikes. In Haiti.
By private contractors.
They’re killing Haitians for private profit & the world barely pays attention.
The story of Haiti is the story America likes to tell about itself. Except there, it’s true. And the west has never stopped punishing Haiti for it

Honestly it's reassuring that the intellectual vanguard of Jewish fascism produces unintelligible, pop-historical, Facebook-boomer-level slop laced with Nazi messaging

Here's why Starmer must resign & it's very simple: Starmer says he should be forgiven because he didn't know the 'extent' of Mandelson's relationship with Epstein. Ergo, Starmer STILL argues that it's ok to promote such a man, dependent on the DEGREE of association with a sex-trafficking paedophile.

These files confirm that Mandelson's malign influence runs through this Labour government.

Starmer knew exactly the choice he was making when he appointed him. He has to go.

america: *kills guy's dad and wife*

also america: "we are ready to talk."

Exclusive: Foreign hacker in 2023 compromised Epstein files held by FBI, source and documents show The hack occurred after a server at the Child Exploitation Forensic Lab in the FBI’s New York Field Office was inadvertently left vulnerable by a special agent.

Excellent reporting here by @raphae.li about a hacker who breached an FBI server, apparently without knowing it was the FBI, and accessed the Epstein files. The hacker allegedly threatened to report the server's owner TO THE FBI bc of disgust over CSAM on the server, www.reuters.com/world/us/for...

MIDDLE EAST EYE Middle East Eye @MiddleEastEye X.com "We need to ensure that Erdogan doesn't create a new alliance of radical Islam, Sunni version." Former Israeli Prime Minister Naftali Bennett, in an interview with Bloomberg, stated that Israel "will not sit idle" if Turkey forms any Islamic alliance

Now Naftali Bennett is also targeting Turkey in his public remarks:

Also worth noting:

Turkey is a member of NATO

This reasoning could easily be extended to LGBQ people as well. They could say it's not irrational for a state to ensure an appreciation for one's sex by promoting heterosexual relationships rather than gay relationships.

What's so insidious about this particular line is that it sets a framework for courts to bless any number of coercive measures by state and federal governments to get people to not transition. It establishes coercing people not to transition as a legitimate government interest.

Millenarian Fantasies In Lebanon, Israel seems to be following the same logic it deployed in Gaza: emptying out entire areas through what amounts to ethnic cleansing.
