I have never not watched a @FIFAcom World Cup. But I’m not watching this year. You have blood on your hands, FIFA

[BladeoftheSun @BladeoftheS]

Infantino claims he can't do anything about Referees, players, journalists and fans being banned from the World Cup because in every country there are Governments.

In 2023 Indonesia refused to let the Israeli U23 squad have visas

FIFA instantly moved the tournament to Argentina

Remembering Iqbal Masih on World Day Against Child Labour.

Sold into bonded labor as a child, he escaped at 10 and became a voice for thousands trapped in slavery. Assassinated at just 12, he remains one of Pakistan's bravest—and most forgotten—heroes.

No our matric failed government is replacing native and shady trees with those foreign useless palm ones

Fact: He traveled there for his cooking show & when they tried to block this one episode, he said he would pull his entire show from the network & this was the first time the world ever saw behind the walls in Gaza 2013

[Mr PitBull Stories @MrPitbull07]

In 1978, she won an Oscar and, instead of limiting herself to thank-yous, publicly confronted part of the audience. Vanessa Redgrave stepped onto the stage to accept the Academy Award for Best Supporting Actress for Julia and turned a few minutes into one of the tensest moments in Oscar history.
She had just received the statuette when, after thanking those involved, she spoke of “a small bunch of Zionist hoodlums,” referring to protests against her in the days leading up to the ceremony. She had supported and financed The Palestinian, filmed in Lebanon, which had drawn criticism and demonstrations outside the theater.
Boos and murmurs broke out in the room.
Shortly afterward, screenwriter Paddy Chayefsky took the stage and openly criticized her, saying that a simple thank-you speech would have been enough.
Redgrave did not retract her words.
That moment marked a turning point. She continued to work, but with less support from the main industry circles. Some studios avoided casting her, while others distanced themselves. She began backing independent productions and building projects outside the more commercial system.
Her political activism had not begun there. For years, she had already taken part in demonstrations and campaigns on various issues, drawing the attention of British security services.
She came from one of the most prominent families in British theatre, the Redgraves. She could have chosen to keep a more neutral profile.
She chose otherwise.
In 2009, she faced the death of her daughter Natasha Richardson, who died after a skiing accident. She returned to acting soon afterward. She said it was her way of continuing.
Over time, she has moved between cinema, theatre, and public speaking, maintaining a constant presence both on and off the stage.
When asked whether she regretted that speech, she replied that saying what one believes to be true can have consequences, but it remains a conscious choice.

I’ve spent over two decades studying the Pakistani state. But words fail to describe how malevolent, low-IQ, & beholden to vested interests, the administration is.

The people trying to stop solar power adoption in Pakistan are all university educated professionals. Check their CVs and you will find many with foreign qualifications & fancy fellowships.

When they retire some will produce silly self-exonerating memoirs.

And while they were in government for decades two questions never occurred to them:

1. What is in the national interest and public interest of Pakistan?

2. How can we help Pakistan achieve these constructive objectives?

At a time of global energy crisis, Pakistan needs to move even more rapidly towards solarisation. Instead, the administration is trying to impede solarisation and now they are going after not just the ‘bourgeoisie’ or ‘rich’ solar net metering folks, but others as well.

Small wins 🤩

Thank Uuuuu Slovenia

I think this is the best picture I've ever taken

[Dylan O'Sullivan @DylanoA4]

Reading is so powerful now because, in a culture of doing so many things at once, it's stubbornly singular, when you're doing it you can't do anything else, you can't think about anything else, it demands all of you

[Osama. @ashaqeens]

Desi parents must not find out about qualifications/education of Iranian delegates

[Abier @abierkhatib]

Look who entered Al-Aqsa Mosque first once it reopened after 40 days 😂

[Andrea Junker @Strandjunker]

Been saying this for a while, but will repeat it for emphasis: “I was only following orders” was rejected as a defense at the Nuremberg Trials.

[Alan MacLeod @AlanRMacLeod]

I see we have reached the "harvesting the organs of the living" stage of capitalism.

[M K Venu @mkvenu1]

This should be the beginning of a global boycott of Israel, like that of South Africa during apartheid.

[Boze Herrington, Library Owl 😴🧙‍♀️ @SketchesbyBoze]

I’m sorry but the future belongs to those who read widely, who are able to write without the assistance of a machine, who haven’t allowed endless slop to kill their curiosity and cognitive abilities. Excess tech is going to melt many brains. Yours doesn’t need to be one of them.

[moni @iycsts]

maybe i’m too woke but i hate when someone reads a book that contains unconventional views and people automatically assume they agree with it. the purpose of reading is to see different perspectives, but it’s becoming more and more mindless consumption and confirmation bias

[Jason Bassler @JasonBassler1]

When nearly 4,000 Google employees sign petitions, 13 Palantir employees walk out, and OpenAI’s head of robotics resigns over AI drifting into warfare, surveillance, and state power… we should listen.

When the insiders sound the alarm, that’s a warning.
