My gosh.
Yesterday, Egypt Coach Hossam Hassan asked FIFA to use its "soft power" to help Palestinians.
Today, just as the Egypt-Argentina match began, Israel killed Mohammed al-Wahidi, of the Egyptian Relief Committee in Gaza — which also organized Gaza screenings of the matches.
Young people spent years of their lives locked in their homes so these people didn’t risk dying trying to catch their last breath
In return they demand young people needlessly die of heat exhaustion

Artificial intelligences do not undergo experiences, do not possess a body, do not feel joy or pain, do not mature through relationships, and do not know from within what love, work, friendship or responsibility mean. Nor do they have a moral conscience, since they do not judge good and evil, grasp the ultimate meaning of situations, or bear responsibility for consequences. They may imitate or even simulate, but they do not understand what they produce, for they lack the affective, relational, and spiritual perspective through which human beings grow in wisdom. #MagnificaHumanitas
HS2. A masterclass in how Britain destroys money.
The cost:
• 2011: £32.7bn
• 2013: £45bn
• 2015: £55.7bn
• 2019: up to £88bn
• 2020: up to £106bn
• 2026: up to £102.7bn… for a fraction of the original route
What’s been cut along the way:
• 2021: Eastern leg to Leeds: SCRAPPED
• 2022: Golborne link to Scotland: SCRAPPED
• 2023: Birmingham → Manchester leg: SCRAPPED
• 2023: Crewe hub: SCRAPPED
• Euston terminus: paused, downsized from 10 platforms to 6, now needs private finance
Original plan: 11 cities, 340 miles, £32bn, open 2026.
What we’re getting: 4 stations, 140 miles, £100bn+, open 2039.
A national embarrassment, paid for by taxpayers.
Ultimately, there is no amount of facts, logic, rebuttals, statistics, or graphs that can truly counteract a paid agitator snorting a line of coke backstage before lying to a crowd of people who want to be lied to so very much.
A mother and daughter from Gaza were last pictured blindfolded in the back of an Israeli military vehicle in December 2023. @AlexCrawfordSky and Sky's Data and Forensics team have traced their last known movements.
This is an extraordinary story. Social media and right-wing journalists came close to causing riots in Epsom by broadcasting a claim that migrants had raped a white woman that turned out to be wholly false
@aFleavorpD96701@mistergeezy@BronxStilo@whateverkc22 kamala supporters like this care more about point scoring than morals. seen a lot of them make jokes about ICE when someone disagrees with them. many such cases!
Está sería una buena parranda del diálogo entre civilizaciones, mientras no estén pensando en desaparecerlas a punta de misiles.
Es una gran Alianza por la vida, es el gran trato, como dije al presidente Trump las civilizaciones no deben desaparecer.
Soldado israelí le dice al joven palestino que siga su camino, luego practican tiro a distancia y lo asesinan.
Israel no es un estado sino una organización terrorista.
When you’re British and on holiday abroad and you hear an American it’s jarring but it also fills you with a sense of relief because you know on this occasion you aren’t the most hated tourist in the room
