"you should get raped instead" + "Muslims are the most inbred people in the world"

Fine with Elon Musk's platform.

THIS DAY in 1939, Las Trece Rosas - The Thirteen Roses, young girls between the age of 18 and 29 from the Spanish Socialist Youth, were tortured, then executed, by Franco's Fascist Forces in Almudena, #Spain.

THIS DAY in 1976, Eric Clapton, who built his career on blues and other black music, stood on a stage in Birmingham and let loose a #Racist Rant that shocked even his own fans.

He tried to explain it away as 'the drugs'. No one was buying it. He has never really recanted.

Condemning the Israeli Government is NOT 'AntiSemitic'.

Supporting Palestine DOES NOT MEAN supporting HAMAS.

Update on my Fraudulent Transaction via Apple Pay from #DAZN (I've never had dealings with them) ... that they seem to have a rep for.

NW Bank : Played a blinder, excellent service, marked as Fraud, Money reinstated.

DAZN : A week later no contact, no response, no help. Just silence.

Stephen Yaxley-Lennon 'arrested again' is today's least surprising headline, to be fair.

Took him long enough. Seven years.

Happy Birthday, President Barack Obama. We miss him. The world misses him.

A man you could safely leave only with the Constitution, or your 12 year old daughter.

Here's a racoon really enjoying his grapes.

If you saw a small pile of eggs, well done, you.

Nigel Farage is right about London. I was there yesterday and there was a gang of men armed with sticks, waving them about, while a huge crowd cheered them on.

Almost every single living, former head of the IDF, Mossad (Israeli foreign intelligence), Shin Bet (domestic intelligence) & Police Commissioner urges an end to Israel’s war in Gaza.

“This is an extremist government. It has taken us all hostage.”

Advertising Fail. Take your time.

I just ... I just asked an AI to summarise a YouTube video is a specific manner and forgot to add the URL of the videro ... and I got Rickrolled.

Israel : "We're not Genociding enough, we need to genocide faster."

You're gonna hate me for this trivia, geek that I am, but Bond in the books was English, then after seeing Sean Connery in the first two films, Ian Fleming 'ret-conned' him to Scottish afterwards fopr future novels.

No idea what this sign means and I really don't want to even ask.

The awful @IsobelOakeshott, fluffer to the Reform Party and ‘Patriotic Tax Exile’ in Dubai … caught out lying. Again.

You think that the simplest thing would be to create a little forum of a wide variety of elderly people, sit them down, and test the GUI with them. At the beta stage. I have done such beta testing. All done in one afternoon. Pretty easy, and not expensive.

This man is a Conservative MP and former No.10 adviser.

The cricket is set up for a wonderful denouement this morning.

Chris Woakes might have to try to bat with his injured shoulder.

BBC: “If Woakes emerges on Monday, it will be the biggest act of bravery by an Englishman since James Bond stayed behind on the island in No Time To Die.”

Good morning. Mondays are hard. We'll get through this.
