I like walking past this type of smoking area that makes cigarette addicts look like zoo animals in the middle of the terminal. It’s good anti-smoking messaging
Today in Uffa Nations League the Irish didn’t shake hand with Israelis. No whining from the Irish fans. Sportsmanship is well and alive. But when India does not shake hands with the terror sympathising Pakistanis all hell breaks loose.
Brenda Power is a rare voice of moral clarity amongst the Irish commentariat on this issue. In under a minute she eviscerates Ireland’s hypocrisy.
‘There wasn’t a single peep of protest to the Irish cricket team voluntarily playing Afghanistan last month, where women are treated worse than battery chickens. It is the most extreme humanitarian crisis in the world right now, as far as I can see, the gender apartheid in Afghanistan. Not a word of protest.’
‘Where was your indignation when we played [Afghanistan]? England wouldn’t play them, South Africa wouldn’t play them, New Zealand wouldn’t play them. The great humanitarians in Ireland had absolutely no difficulty. We’re hypocrites.’
It's fucking 11:30 PM in Japan right now and PV Sindhu's R16 is still yet to happen...
She will have to play post midnight...
And hopefully if she wins🧿, her QF is at around 9 am tomorrow.
Fuck you Asian Games..
Fuck you Japan for your absolutely shameless scheduling.
If you are in delhi, make sure you go out for walks, outings, or literally anything post-dinner for the next 15–20 days.
Perfect amount of wind chill rn. enjoy the pre-pollution weather
Politically, India is exhausted. There's nothing left in its political discourse except for reservations, feminism, wokeism. Indian polity is a failed story. BJP, INC or any other party, they're all failures. India needs a reset.
Incredible respect for the Iranian Women's Kabaddi team.
The country has been in a war.
The women have been in a war with their own regime.
A team of young players, most of them playing their first Asian Games.
One of the substitutes was recording on her iPhone to capture the historic moment.
Up against the powerhouse of Kabaddi, the Indian team.
And they took the game right down to the wire!
Awe-inspiring stuff.
