Stick your shiny souless bowl up your hole
Old Trafford is our home
Your taking away peoples wishes who want to stay there
To many memories to throw away
All other fans would give anything to go back to there old grounds
So dont take it away from us for greed
Show loyalty
The pursuit for peace should be that of the Israelis and the Palestinians.
I thought we voted for America First.
We have no business contemplating yet another occupation to doom our treasure and spill our soldiers blood.
This is Frank and he has had a coffee stand at the top of the steps at Bethnal Green tube for as long as I can remember.
When the new restaurant/coffee shop next door opened along with another high street outlet opening across the street, Frank suddenly found that his license from the council had been revoked and he was chucked off his stand.
I believe it was to make way for these new shops to take his regular custom. They didn’t need him in the way of gaining maximum profit... so Frank was gone.
Well the locals were having none of it and a petition started demanding his return.
How dare they do this to him.
How dare these people smash his business and leave him with nothing.
After a lot of pressure the council backed down and Frank had his licence and pitch returned to him but sadly by that time Frank had sold his equipment to feed his family and try to survive.
So the good people of Bethnal Green started crowdfunding and here’s the result... Frank back in business on his old pitch with brand new equipment and even a little hut now to shelter him from the rain... Brilliant!!
He is truly the happiest man in East London and it’s wonderful to see.
It really does show that if we all stick together, stand up to them and just say no... the little guy can win.
If you’re in Bethnal Green come and have a coffee with this lovely man. 🧡
Today we are all #UnitedAgainstGenderApartheid and calling the free world to listen to the women of Iran and Afghanistan who are wounded, but unbowed to their oppressors.
I joined international jurists and human rights defenders in signing onto a joint letter and underlying legal brief urging States to include the crime of gender apartheid in the draft crimes against humanity (CAH) treaty.
Women and girls who live under the Taliban in Afghanistan and the Islamic Republic in Iran are battling extreme, institutionalized and systematized gender-based oppression and domination. This treatment has a name: gender apartheid.
The UN General Assembly’s Sixth Committee (Legal) is scheduled to debate the proposed CAH treaty in October. Member States have the choice to recognize the CAH of gender apartheid in the treaty. Codifying this crime will provide the international community with the necessary tools to mobilize against apartheid regimes and hold perpetrators of gender apartheid accountable.
We can’t miss this chance to make gender apartheid a crime recognized under international law.

Finally found this clip of Mainoo chesting down the ball from Onana before turning and shrugging off a Newcastle player like he wasn't there.
He's just 19, by the way.
What a player 💥

Last night I was lucky to be among the first group in New York to get to taste chicken grown from a droplet of muscle cells. It was.... DELICIOUS. Succulent, moist, the right texture. Chicken as it should be. Even though full commercialization is a way off, it made me excited for the future.
It also made me even more frustrated with a tiredly cynical article in the NYT at the weekend "the revolution that died on the way to dinner". As if it were ever going to be easy to transform the way 8 billion humans feed themselves.
This chicken came from Upside Foods, whose founder and CEO @UmaValeti is one of the most inspiring and impressive entrepreneurs I've met. The beautiful facilities he's building will allow this next-gen meat to start to become cost competitive.
Let me tell you something about those facilities. They're housed in glass. Nothing to hide. Inside are large, clean metal containers for growing this meat, and growing it in half the time it takes for modern, artificially inflated chickens to grow.
Those chickens, by contrast, are not grown behind glass. They're shielded inside closed-off massive meat factories. And for a reason. If we could see the hell-hole of cages, feathers, beaks, chickenshit, bird-flu, antibiotics and, worst of all, brains tortured with a short but horrifying life of suffering, we'd throw up before downing our next drumstick. To imply as the NYT did that next-gen meat will be slowed by some kind of ick factor is a woeful under-estimation of human adaptability. When the truth will out - and it will when there's actually an alternative available - the ick factor will run the other way.
This technology really matters. It will probably be impossible to lure humans away from our meat addiction. I personally love meat. I want it to be part of my future. And last night I saw a glimpse of how that can happen in a way that will be both delicious and kind -- to our fellow creatures, and to the planet.
I'm not an investor in Upside. But I wish I was. I certainly would not bet against them. When you peel back to the fundamentals, a system in which you're using your nutrients only to grow meat, instead of bone, brain, feathers, claws and beaks, and to do so in a shorter time horizon, has every chance to become cost competitive.
I predict the New York Times will be proved embarrassingly wrong on this one. Just because a better future is hard to build, doesn't mean we should stop. For me, I'll throw my lot in with the determined, the visionary. Uma, an honor to meet you.
