A thousand stories involving major violence in the Old Testament and *that’s* the example she picks???

“He could have had a giant party *on* the water!”

So simple!

TBH I can absolutely see some people reading it and thinking “if only Gatsby hadn’t exhibited beta behaviour- endlessly mooning after one specific woman - he’d have been the ultimate gigachad” or some shit like that.

TBH, it’s a microcosm of how American society thinks in general. The focus is on the fact that Gatsby appears obscenely rich, throwing stupendous parties, and that this is a good thing - the American Dream, in fact. The rest of the novel completely passes people by.

Lars Porsena of Clusium, by the Nine Gods he swore.
That the great house of Tarquin should suffer wrong no more.
By the Nine Gods he swore it, and named a trysting day,
And bade his messengers ride forth,
East and West and South and North,
To summon his array

One deeply corrupt man giving another, even more deeply corrupt man the shittiest looking participation trophy ever.

“The Palantir is a dangerous tool,Saruman.”

I’m fully prepared to believe that Nigel Farage was an odious little shit at school, and much like I would never have dreamt of voting Labour with Corbyn at the helm, I’ve never voted for any party led Farage and never will. Other Jewish people will make their own choices 🤷🏻‍♂️

Awful that this was ever even considered as an idea, let alone that it almost got to the point of taking place!

From Popbitch: Farewell Deborah Turness. One of her big projects on the BBC News website was setting up an analysis section looking at the issues behind the headlines. It is now known as BBC In Depth, but DT initially insisted that it should be called BBC Deeper. At some point, however, it was pointed out to her that if anyone were to google ‘BBC Deeper’ they would discover penetrative coverage of a totally different kind...

Many thanks to popbitch.com for their service 🫡

In that letter from the lawyers for Farms not Factories, we got the same old tired line that "criticism of Zionism is not the same as antisemitism".

I tell you what. Read the piece & tell me whether you think this is *just* "criticism of Zionism". Go on.

I'll translate. What this means is that Elon's just read (or re-read) The Player of Games by Iain M Banks, seen the concept of getting slap-droned in the Culture and thought "that sounds pretty cool, why don't I pretend that my tech is going to be remotely capable of doing that?"

If you have a few minutes this morning, why not read a piece that resulted in a threatening 4-page legal letter when we asked for comment!

Crikey - thanks for flagging!

It's not. The doctor in question is very clear in her views, and expresses them on video as well. You can look her up, if you the stomach for it - I don't blame you if you don't!

A tweet by a doctor stating that "It is a profound failure of leadership that even the most 'patriotic' White men in British office are too afraid to name the 'Israeli' Jewish lobby as the primary architect of mass migration policy."

I'm posting this on BlueSky to (hopefully) disprove a theory I have about this platform.

Do people on here understand this is not 'pro-Palestine' activism, despite this individual describing her output as such? That this is in fact the Great Replacement theory so beloved of White Nationalists?

Since Musk likes Tolkien so much, I wonder if he's read about the character who turns up calling himself "Lord of Gifts", claiming to be bringing wonders and enchantment to the peoples of Middle Earth, but is just a horrendously evil character in disguise?

Since we're talking Tolkien, that is.

"Get me Hennimore", a skit from That Mitchell & Webb show, in which Hennimore (Webb) is given extremely confusing tasks which he is expected to perform flawlessly. He consistently fails. In this case, the police appear to have screwed up so massively that this seems the only possible explanation as to how they might have managed it.

"Now, Sergeant Hennimore, this is absolutely critical. Door One, which is yellow and blue, is the 'release from custody' door. Door Two, which is blue and yellow, is the 'send to immigration centre' door. We need to send the migrant sex attacker through the blue and yellow door."

I'm so glad Tolkien didn't live to see this crap

GUYS, I POSTED THIS THREE WEEKS AGO WHEN DANNY KRUGER DEFECTED. AND NOW...

On Rosh Hashanah it is inscribed, And on Yom Kippur it is sealed. How many shall pass away and how many shall be born, Who shall live and who shall die, Who shall reach the end of his days and who shall not, Who shall perish by water and who by fire, Who by sword and who by wild beast, Who by famine and who by thirst, Who by earthquake and who by plague, Who by strangulation and who by stoning, Who shall have rest and who shall wander, Who shall be at peace and who shall be pursued, Who shall be at rest and who shall be tormented, Who shall be exalted and who shall be brought low, Who shall become rich and who shall be impoverished.

This is one of the prayers that Jews traditionally recite on Yom Kippur.

Cannot read it without crying right now. Hold your loved ones close.

I’m sorry, I just can’t get over this. It’s like watching a shark get chewed up by a bigger shark.

A lot of people are reacting to the mad statement in headline, and sleeping on the even madder statement that "if we lose, we lose, but you lose by war anyway". You are running to be president of a country that won its independence *in a war*.
