The government and the media have been lying to you over the Maccabi Tel Aviv ban. We will not let these lies and smears go unchallenged.

I remember when so many nerds were begging for serialization, but maybe we should go back to the long overarching story mixed with standalone episodes format. I mean, sometimes you gotta take a break from your intergalactic war to play baseball with some jerk Vulcans.

I guess it saves us coming back and burning it again.

The United States is conditioned to reject external ideas or international law in order to protect the illegal actions committed by its government. Traditionally the US is known for its extensive acts against humanity the world over, something that until recently didn’t affect “We The People.”

FWIW I get the impression that the Palace would be absolutely fine with a new Titles Deprivation Act and it may actually be in the long-term interest of the Royals to have one on the books.

Braquage! #Louvre

#BREAKING | Israeli navy forces opened fire on Palestinian fishermen off the coast of Gaza City, injuring some and abducting three fishermen while they were fishing, according to the Gaza Fishermen's Union.

This remains the funniest way to hear about an internet outage, though.

I mean sorry, but a bet's a bet. Don't like it? Don't make it.

Oh gods, all the Americans, with memories that don't go back far enough to remember the last time the White House was modified, have just woken up...

You can now watch Oscar Award winning documentary No Other Land in the United States of America. Link below.

Can we also talk about how “pyrotechnic devices” is a very interesting way to say “firebomb”.

Sad to see rampant antisemitism in Israel

ISRAEL BREAKS CEASEFIRE should be such a simple headline to write and yet no western news outlet seems capable of it.

The ceasefire hasn't come under threat, it's already been broken. Does israel even understand what "ceasefire" means?

It doesn't sound like the ceasefire is "under threat" if they are actively engaging in air attacks - it sounds like Israel has broken the ceasefire and is murdering Palestinians again.

"test"? They fired. During a ceasefire. That does something to a ceasefire. Clue: the right answer isn't "testing it"

When Israel bombs Gaza after pledging itself to a ceasefire, we apparently need to say this is a “Test of ceasefire” to avoid saying what is blatantly obvious, that this is a violation of the ceasefire Again, I’ll keep on repeating this: Israel does not do ceasefires unless forced to.

#BREAKING | Israeli PM Netanyahu held a meeting with the defense minister and security chiefs, ordering forces to “act forcefully against targets in Gaza.” His office also confirmed that the Rafah crossing will remain closed until further notice.

I remembered X-Men 97 recently, and thought "Oh, did I miss series 2?" Nope! A 10 episode animation in the style of the Saturday morning filler slop, with all the speed advantages of modern digital animation methods, with series 2 already scripted before 1 came out, and *still* over 2 years gap!

Why yes. I'm at a wedding.

Today, we rejoice in the sight of children celebrating in Gaza, but we mourn for the children whose laughter we will never hear. My statement on the announcement of a ceasefire.

We are building a mass, democratic party from the ground up. Get involved at a regional assembly near you, and take Your Party into your hands.

The government says it is “driving forward private finance efforts for Gaza's reconstruction.” As if enabling a genocide wasn't enough. Now, they are allowing private companies to make some money out of it as well. Have they no shame? www.middleeasteye.net/news/british...

OK, The Gorge (2025) is far better than it has any right to be. And a rock version of "O Come All Ye Faithful" is not something I knew I needed in my life, but DAMN... #thegorge

Oh great, we're clearly reaching peak protest hours in the US. There's only so many times I can take the mick out of how the supposedly democratic President of the country of "No Kings" has more power than most actually monarchies...

One of the cartoons from my new book 'Physics for Cats'. In good bookshops now and online in English, French, German and Spanish. It's also available as a print at www.tomgauld.com/

Still tryin

Anyone know whose turn it is to manage Nottingham Forest next week? I forgot to check the rota on Friday.

Remember, whoever defends themselves from fash Maccabi Hafia fans trying to stamp on their head is an antisemite.

This whole notion that the president has some uniquely strong democratic mandate because he's elected nationwide is complete ahistorical, atextual garbage. We have a democratic branch, it's the House of Representatives who are directly elected, which the president is not and never has been.

JFC, even the countries WITH kings are doing it better than we are.

many kings did not, historically, have the kind of powers Trump is claiming! wars were often fought over it! the English literally beheaded a king over the balance of power between the king and parliament! a king would, in some ways, be an improvement over what he's trying to do

#BREAKING | Israel just bombed a vehicle carrying displaced civilians east of Al-Zaytoun neighborhood in Gaza City while they were returning to check their destroyed homes. vehicle was carrying 10 Palestinians, they were injured or killed, civil defense is still inspecting.

*Looks around frantically*

Anyway to bring everyone back dowm to earth my cat did a dirty protest on his return home and is now hiding under the sofa off his face on drugs. So i best go clear that up.

Transparent screens! Near-future stuff always has transparent screens because it’s legible from a reverse angle, so you can see the actor and what they’re doing. Transparent screens would be a nightmare for most real-life applications (although they have a handful of specialized use cases.)

Owner was rushing down from [redacted] to get kitty. Vets will stay open late. Can she take her tonight? Yes. But dude asks if he can do goodbye scritches. Yes of course etc. Everyone so emotional. I'm trying not to blub (and not just because i've seen the price of Napoleons tooth op by then) /7

I see we're busy trying to distract everyone from Gaza by going on about the Chinese again...

oh no the Americans just woke up.

Ben Gvir personally oversaw the torture of Greta Thunberg, as reported by Aftonbladet. www.aftonbladet.se/nyheter/a/25...

Indictments for the crime of apartheid were confirmed to have been drawn up for Itamar Ben Gvir and Smotrich months ago— they remain unissued.

Greta is an immensely impressive human being and despite her well-intentioned downplaying of her experience what she endured was torture. www.aftonbladet.se/nyheter/a/25...

Greta Thunberg: “Israeli soldiers hit, kicked, starved, and tortured me” • They placed a flag next to me, and anytime the flag touched me, they kicked me • Whenever I raised my head to look at Ben-Gvir, I was kicked • She was filmed while stripped naked Aftonbladet: tinyurl.com/a33vxatc

The Israeli FA used the slogan 'Let the Ball Talk' anticipating protests at their two away games with Norway and Italy. They lost 5-0 and 3-0 respectively 💀

Sums it all up

I suspect they are not quite ready for the “No Independent Executive Branch” slogan yet, no matter how desperately they need Parliamentarism.
