A warning to anyone planning to attend a World Cup game: Do not attend a World Cup game in the United States. Even American citizens are at risk of being kidnapped, beaten, murdered, or placed in an inhumane detention facility. A football (soccer) game is not worth the risk. STAY HOME!!

It hasn't there are just far too many people on Israel & the USA's payroll.

Left Wing Hasan Piker and Cenk Uygur have both been banned from coming to the UK because they criticise Israel's War Crimes. The UK no longer has Free Speech, only acceptable to Israel Speech.

India is still on fire it's been 10 days and some places have hit 45C every day They have no AC and nearly 2 billion people have to live AND work in this Within a decade or two it is going to be unlivable and they are all going to migrate THEN you will be complaining

When the AI bubble pops, every AI company will beg for a bailout and say AI is “too big to fail.” These companies tried to replace the artists, writers, workers, teachers, and journalists whose work they stole. They will demand you save them so they can take your job, too. Can God get a hell no?

Journalists both inside and outside CBS News are sounding the alarm as the queer executive reshapes one of television’s most influential news programs.

Iran war live: Israel’s expanding invasion of Lebanon draws global alarm https://aje.news/m0fzwg

Behold the unmitigated, gobsmackingly obsequious, absolutely mindbogglingly stupid, corrupt, financially illiterate Australian Govt handing over $378Bn for 'second-hand' "anything" let alone "used" subs that the US wants us to "use" for their continued - & obscene - warmongering. fmfd, people. fmfd

European leaders condemn Israel’s deepening incursion into Lebanon

It would be fair to say that the Albanese government is waiting to see whether Adam Bandt can make the transition from being a Greens party advocate to environmental leader, writes Jason Koutsoukis. trib.al/kRgzVPE

“While eyes remain peeled on Israel’s increasingly violent and expanding campaign in Lebanon, Netanyahu is proving ever more predatory with the Gaza Strip. With aggrandizing impunity, more territory is being acquired, with plans for more to be seized.” (Link to the article in the replies below.)

👇 ... Albo still thinks this is 'lightly dismissable with a flick of his wrist' & a condescending 'mansplanation' of why "we don't need a RC" into violence against women & children. Good men. We know you're out there. Please stand up & be counted amongst those of us who want this scourge stopped.

These tech bastards are going to destroy everything!

This IS Israel. Credible, witnessed sexual abuse & violence, repeated rapes - against Palestinians adults & children. Will the voice of the Aust. Govt stay silent? They'll speak up when Australian citizens are at risk but not when Palestinians are? @senatorwong.bsky.social @albomp.bsky.social

Data centers’ diesel backup generators are emitting pollutants that can cause health problems for residents. That’s on top of contributing to higher electricity prices and sucking up communities’ water. Is it any wonder communities across the country are organizing to stop them?

In China, the best selling car is actually not a Tesla. It’s this: the Chevy Sonic-sized Geely Xingyuan (EX2), which starts just under $10,000. I drove it around for a few mins, and it wasn’t hard to understand just why Geely sold nearly 500,000 units last year. insideevs.com/features/797...
