A new law in Israel blocks Palestinians who've graduated from universities in the occupied West Bank from teaching in Israeli schools

A reminder that in July 2024 the ICJ ruled that Israel is an apartheid state

"pro-life" fash don't do irony...

About 10% of people with Tourette Syndrome exhibit coprolalia, the involuntary utterance of inappropriate remarks.

These utterances are often what the individual *themselves* considers taboo.

It is NOT the same as lowered inhibition but rather is more similar to horrifying but intrusive thoughts.

"Andy and Mandy"

This is worth a read. It pretty much makes me assume that age verification is a "these fools will give us their data" tool.

The Silent Scream - Wikipedia

In mid 90's our religion teacher showed us the "pro-life" propaganda film. "The silent scream". I have no idea how she could think it appropriate.

"things aren't going so well folks"
"right..... That Simons guy, the anti-trans stuff, Mandy, trying to out-right farage....."
"what do we do?!"

"potholes. The plebs love the pothole stuff"

Plausible given that anyone with any grey matter recognises tariffs are paid by the consumer.
Satsuma can blame the courts while ignoring any improvement in the economy. The fuckwit probably sees it as an out.
That and he can claim things would be so much better if he got to do what he wanted.

If it's not this it's maybe just bad?

Probably not but let's cross fingers, toes and eyes.

Ok. Bye.

Cis, trans, white, brown.... All near irrelevant wrt consent to be interviewed and be asked for your opinion.

Honestly, you're now embarrassing yourself.
"Considering the general ethics" of seeking public opinion is just.....smh.....

I don't think that's plausible at all. Not is it plausible that she would think it would never be seen.

This isn't balanced either. It's far more likely consent was gotten and agreed to. Owen isn't stupid.

I doubt very much that Jones would put this up without permission or that the interviewer didn't give it. I don't really get how you think anything unethical occurred. It seems like you're applying how *you* would feel if it was you and not her.

A well known journalist comes up to you with a camera and microphone and you think your words will never be seen by anyone?

It's loooonnnnnggggg past time Josh Simons was kicked.

No they aren't. But kids aren't to blame for an absence of these things.

An advert for Claude code consolidation calendars where a worried-looking young man with glasses is biting his fingernails whilst arrows point to him saying personal calendar work calendar Mayan end of World calendar and brother-in-law's medical calendar. It is a parody of consolidation loan adverts

This always makes me question why was it Brexit rather than UKExit?

I mean, the simple answer there is that NI is an afterthought for UK politics.

Someone really needs to start writing the script for "Caterwise" as a comedy of errors.

ALSO - if you missed out on your childhood measles vaccine and haven't had measles, you can get *free* MMR vaccination from your GP! (whether as an older child, teenager or adult).

I got my MMR about 10 years ago!

Oh yes, BBC, you'll publish an article about it, but when I try to pitch my flatshare sitcom to you, you call it "ahistorical," "offensive," "a waste of time," and "how did you even get into my office so early? Have you been here all night?"

Something from the UK....
