As a gay man, I say: you did this - you, the far-Left LGBTIAQ+ activists with your grotesque parades, your absurd 'pronouns', your men in women's spaces and your drag queen storytimes.

You did this. You pushed and pushed the boundaries of power to see what you could get away with, using the 'cause' as a testudo: criticise us and you're a 'homophobe', 'transphobe', etc.

You used us, the 'normie' gays as a cause, to radicalise and militarise, whilst weaponising speech, with what others can and cannot say - and now you're surprised that there's kick-back?

Oh, sure, you'll now use that as: "See? See? Look at all the homophobia and transphobia! We told you!" but it was you that caused the homophobia and transphobia with your ridiculous power moves for 5% of the population.

We asked for equality. We got that. We asked for Same-Sex Marriage. We got that. But you wouldn't stop there. Emboldened by the generosity of those who, in many countries, voted for or supported the latter, you wanted to see how much further you could go.

You poked the bear. The bear didn't react. But you kept poking and finally the bear reacted. And now we're in a position where the bear recognises you every time and will swipe back.

You did this.

South Wales Police has instructed officers to log comments they feel are beyond "legitimate" criticism of Islam.

This is, exactly as I warned, a blasphemy law through the back door.

Nobody voted for this.

Imagine a foreign government doesn't like what your country is doing, and decides to change it. Without asking you.

That's what Putin is doing in the Baltic states. He just got his first big win in Latvia. 🧵 [1/13]

@henrywinter I reckon @FIFAcom needs to think seriously about moving the world cup to the winter as a general rule - as was done in Qatar. The exception would be if a southern hemisphere nation were to host the tournament.

Grok tells lies. You must know that. Elon Musk also does not come out of this story free of criticism, not just as the owner of the AL tool but also for his direct comments on X.

"Several Celtic supporters clubs have put their name to a statement opposing the potential appointment of Robbie Keane as manager because of the Irishman's previous role as Maccabi Tel Aviv head coach."

Antisemitic pro-Palestine leftish insanity. It's everywhere. 🤡

[al_shaw @al_shaw]

We do know, don't we, that asking Grok a question is not the same as fact checking?

This happened 37 years ago today.
The Chinese communist government has been trying to suppress the memory of the event ever since.
Don't let them.

The person who cannot read, who suffers from anxiety disorder, autism + other mental health challenges should indeed be treated differently by police + courts to the person with none of those issues. It is not #TwoTier to individualise in this way. Both should receive justice.

"Don't be divisive" is the new version of "Thoughts and prayers". A control mechanism designed to stifle analysis, discussion and, importantly, action (or Praxis).

This is a vital moment for biblical scholars to examine race, racism and the kingdom of God. The implications of the tables of nations in Genesis must feature early on in any such study.

@Theosthinktank Lots of prior assumptions made in this introduction! You'll be interviewing @aaron_p_edwards as a follow up I hope......

There is absolutely nothing in sports that matches the feeling of World Cup month.
4 matches a day, completely random countries playing at 1 AM on a Tuesday, iconic commentary lines, and ignoring your actual job or schoolwork just to watch a group stage stalemate. We are back😂

@MattChorley It did change the content of the interview.

“When you reap the harvest of your land, do not reap to the very edges of your field or gather the gleanings of your harvest. Leave them for the poor and for the foreigner residing among you. I am the Lord your God.”

The Law of Moses does not affirm the maximisation of profit.

@jihadwatchRS It's an interesting story. Thank you for sharing. However, you're not genuinely claiming that the photo is authentic are you?

There is a time for everything,
and a season for every activity under the heavens:

.......

a time to be silent and a time to speak,
a time to love and a time to hate,
a time for war and a time for peace.

We must never allow the longevity of Russia's illegal war against Ukraine to normalise it. Putin continues to launch murderous attacks against civilian populations, invading an independent country in defiance of international law. He must be stopped.
