Sky News this morning implying that the well documented atrocities of the Israeli government are only happening in the minds of protesters. As in, they’re imagined. British mainstream media has become a real cesspit.
Too on point not to share, “Aussie reply to Trump rant about NATO not being there for us.
Mate. You run a country with 600,000 homeless people sleeping on the street tonight. A country where 40% of adults can't cover a $400 emergency without borrowing money. A country where insulin costs more than a car payment and people are rationing it to survive. A country where medical debt is the number 1 cause of bankruptcy. A country where women are dying in hospital car parks because doctors are too scared of abortion laws to treat a miscarriage.
You lock up more of your own citizens than any nation on earth. More than China. More than Russia. More than North Korea. The land of the free has 2 million people in cages, and a quarter of them haven't even been convicted of anything. They're just too poor to make bail.
Your life expectancy is going backwards. You're the only developed nation where that's happening. Your infant mortality rate is worse than Cuba's. Your kids do active shooter drills between maths and English while you sell the gunmaker's stock to your mates.
Your minimum wage hasn't moved in 15 years. You've got teachers working 2 jobs and veterans sleeping under bridges and you just spent a trillion dollars flattening a country that didn't attack you.
And you’ve got a convicted felon, adjudicating raping, paedophile protecting, porn star shagging insurrectionist running the biggest dumpster fire war campaign since the Taliban thanked you very much for losing again.
And you're calling Greenland poorly run?
Greenland has universal healthcare. Free education. One of the lowest incarceration rates in the world. Nobody goes bankrupt there because they got sick. Nobody dies in a waiting room because their insurance said no.
"NATO wasn't there when we needed them." When exactly was that, champ? September 11? Because NATO invoked Article 5 for the first and only time in history FOR YOU. Soldiers from dozens of countries deployed, fought, bled, and died in Afghanistan FOR YOU. Australia wasn't even in NATO and we still showed up. For 20 years.
And you pulled out at 2am without telling anyone and left them to deal with the mess.
So maybe before you start calling other countries poorly run, have a look at your own backyard, you spray-tanned aluminium siding salesman. The only thing poorly run in this picture is your fucking mouth. Credit (borrowed from) Jim Scroggins - original author 📷 unknown”
We don’t need punditry from you, Senator. We need you to call for, and take, action: call for 25th amendment, call for impeachment, organize protests, *do* something.
Incredible to hear people say “Paper is the default canvas for this new era of human <> agent collaboration.”, that’s exactly what we hope to make!
عن التناقض الرهيب في نفسية البشر يقول الممثل الياباني هيرويوكي سانادا :
"هناك من يريد حمام سباحة في المنزل، في حين أن أولئك الذين لديهم ��احد بالكاد يس��خدمونه، وأولئك الذين فقدوا أحد أحبائهم يشعرون بإحساس عميق بالخسارة، بينما غالبًا ما يشتكي الآخرون من أقاربهم الموجودون على قيد الحياة، و أولئك الذين ليس لديهم شريك يتوقون إليه، ولكن أولئك الذين لديهم شريك لا يقدرونه في الكثير من الأحيان، و الجائع سيعطي أي شيء مقابل طبق من الطعام، بينما الشبعان يشتكي من طعم وجبته، ومن لا يملك سيارة يحلم بامتلاك واحدة، ومن يملك سيارة يبحث دائمًا عن سيارة أفضل
مفتاح السعادة هو أن نكون ممتنين وأن ننظر بعناية إلى ما لدينا ونفهم إنه في مكان ما سيقدم شخص ما كل شيء مقابل الأشياء التي نمتلكها بالفعل لكننا لا نقدرها ."
Insane that my wife got fired because this loser thought that her job was too “DEI”. Her job, btw, at USAID was determining if companies we traded with overseas were using slave labor or abusing workers.
