I've been away for a long time, come back to visit, dunno if I'll come back proper or not hmmm

They want you to believe words are more harmful than genocide. Establishment figures, desperate to silence us, have combed through hundreds of hours of footage and interviews, extracting a handful of words from months or years ago to manufacture moral hysteria. Let us be unequivocal: we do not, and have never, supported Hamas or Hezbollah. We condemn all attacks on civilians, always. It is never okay. We know this more than anyone, given our nation's history. We also reject any suggestion that we would seek to incite violence against any MP or individual. Ever. An extract of footage, deliberately taken out of all context, is now being exploited and weaponised, as if it were a call to action. This distortion is not only absurd - it is a transparent effort to derail the real conversation.

All two million Palestinian people in Gaza are currently being starved to death by Israel. At least 20,000 children in Gaza have been killed. The British government continues to supply arms to Israel, even after scores of NHS doctors warned Keir Starmer in August that children were being systematically executed with sniper shots to the head. Instead of defending innocent people or the principles of international law, the powerful in Britain have abetted slaughter and famine. This is where real anger and outrage should be directed towards. To the Amess and Cox families, we send our heartfelt apologies, we never intended to cause you hurt.

Kneecap’s message has always been — and remains — one of love, inclusion, and hope. This is why our music resonates across generations, countries, classes and cultures and has brought hundreds of thousands of people to our gigs. No smear campaign will change that. Suddenly, days after calling out the US administration at Coachella to applause and solidarity, there is an avalanche of outrage and condemnation by the political classes of Britain. The real crimes are not in our performances; the real crimes are the silence and complicity of those in power. Shame on them.

A Palestinian man stands by graffiti in Gaza that thanks Kneecap for "being the voice of the oppressed".

📣 KNEECAP STATEMENT:

👏👏👏

"It is those in high places who allow this barbarity in Gaza... but nobody threatens their careers or salaries.

There's not a cheep about them as the political guns are turned on three working-class rappers."

yeah its like chicken or the egg, if more people come there will be more support for apps and games but people wont come until that happens

Mainoo is a unit now wow

Seen it so many times and it never gets old

Movie you’ve watched more than six times using gifs.

Government censorship comes to Bluesky, but not its third-party apps ... yet | TechCrunch Government censorship has found its way to Bluesky, but there's currently a loophole thanks to how the social network is structured.Earlier this

TechCrunch is finally asking if Bluesky really is decentralized as they have been claiming.

That first article is how I heard about it! The second one is very interesting, I did read about Blacksky and what they are doing, seem to be pioneers in the space perhaps

Strangely I haven't seen anyone discussing BlueSky blocking activist users in Turkey at request of the government... time for Mastodon?

Nigel Farage isn't a Doctor, in fact he doesn't have any medical experience at all.

Why does the BBC repeat his nonsense?

Idk why but firefox just feels sm cleaner on linux, feel like I've given my laptop a new lease of life

Just transitioned to Linux Mint on my personal laptop, feels good so far!

We need to back these guys till the end of the season, they’re clearly shot of confidence right now, no point piling more pressure on them

Bruno scored our 5,000th goal at OT tonight and the halftime record lives on! Also can’t forget saving the club from financial oblivion😄

Jesus, nothing else like football

Zirkzee looking good, obi too they have more chemistry than him and Rasmus

Sam Fenders new album is so good, not a bad song on it. Guy poured his heart into it

Although sometimes it can be better to score later on…

Incredible performance from Celtic first half, just needed to put a chance away

He doesn’t deserve to be put into this game, would be wrong to do that to the lad

This is one of the worst football matches I’ve watched in terms of players quality

This is so tragic to watch. Not going to say anything more cause I’m hangry and everything is pissing me off lol

I think the main issue is just that companies slap the term ‘AI’ on to any kind of complex algorithm at the minute cause it’s the ‘big thing’ right now

I am a beginner and am really keen to incorporate the language more into my everyday life :)
