The Straits of Hormuz situation is the latest indicator of how fucking stupid the Trump junta, Hegseth et al are.
Any idiot with a map could have pointed out what Iran would immediately do if attacked, but these swivelled-eyed loons are so far down the racist rabbit hole they couldn't see it coming.

Om Sverige hade haft Tomahawks hade den nationella säkerhetsrådgivaren garanterat glömt en på en OKQ8-toalett i Ödeshög.

Igor Tudor's well-documented reputation as a fire-fighter upon his appointment as Spurs manager has really gone up in flames.

ANNA GULLBERG: Skrev om extremisten – då ringde socialen Förra veckan publicerade Dagens ETC en stor granskning av den högerextreme aktivisten Christian Peterson. Anna Gullberg minns vad som hände när hon skrev om honom – och varför hon varit tyst om en ano...

Extremhögern kring Christian Peterson har vapeniserat orosanmälningar. Precis som de gjort med förtalsanmälningar.

Screenshot of part of a news story about renowned Irish religious nutter and general arse pain Enoch Burke that says: 
Mr Burke, who taught German and history at the school, has repeatedly argued the direction was unconstitutional and went against his right to express his religious beliefs.

I feel that we don't pay half enough attention to this particular aspect of him ...

There's a great expression in Swedish for people like him ("rättshaverist") who take vexatious legal cases with little or no chance of winning, but unfortunately it's impossible to translate - unless you use a picture of him and just leave it at that.

Ireland is hosting a dedicated pavilion at one of the world's most significant property conferences this week, on the French Riviera, as part of an effort to attract billions of euro in foreign investment into our housing system

The Irish government will do absolutely anything, including inviting in more absentee landlords, in order to avoid having to do something about the housing crisis. It’s not foreign investment, it’s international financial feudalism.

One of the biggest problems with this demented moron/paedophile is that no-one in the world can believe a word he says. His comments contradict themselves, often within seconds or minutes of each other.
We already live in an uncertain world, but this clown makes it much, much worse.

My daughter has discovered the likes of Pete Seeger, Woodie Guthrie and Phil Ochs all by herself, and that's just people from the folk realm. Films, TV and books have an amazing habit of finding their audience, even across the generations.
