I enjoy reciting penitential psalms in an ice-cold bath while lashing meself with a cat o' nine tails.
Very, fond, of, a, comma,
All glory to George Carlin.
FIFA/World Cup loves dictators.
Italy in 1934
Olympics in Germany in 1936
Argentina in 1978
Russia in 2018
Qatar in 2022
Probably missing another couple.
The US has refused to host Iran's national team for the World Cup even though they have to play all their games there
Which means they're based in Tijuana and will have to fly on the day of their games
I've never heard of this kind of discrimination in World Cup history
HAS anyone ever been banned from coming to the UK for one or more of the following reasons.
They have: -
1. Taken part in the GENOCIDE in Gaza
2. Supported or enabled the GENOCIDE in Gaza
3. Denied the GENOCIDE in Gaza
4. Justified the GENOCIDE in Gaza?

The entire political left has tapped out when it comes to tech policy and it's having devastating effects. I am begging people to WAKE UP and stop ceding control of the online world to the far right by supporting atrocious mass online censorship and surveillance laws.
Liverpool refused to pay £20m for Guehi in January, then let Konaté leave in the summer. Now they'll probably spend £60-70m on a new CB anyway. For that money, we could've had both Guehi and Konaté at the club. That's not smart squad planning...
Spending billion more on AUKUS, silence on genocide in Palestine, Palantir contracts and spying on Australians - we have many questions! This week we will demand answers in Senate Estimates again and I'm not holding back.
Henrik, when a supposedly democratic state breaks international law, the distance between where it’s happening & Ireland is irrelevant.
No one in 🇮🇪 questions the right of Israel to exist.
We do, however, question their abuse of human rights as all democrats should.
In a statement to CNN @hasanthehun harshly criticized Israel and Britain, charging that free expression and due process in the UK “are falling by the wayside at the behest of a foreign apartheid state and its expansionist interests in the Middle East.”

Banning Hasan Piker has already generated so much more controversy than him speaking at that event ever would have and wins you precisely zero votes from a right that hates you anyway. Truly amazing how bad Starmer and the gang are at politics
Secondly, it's abundantly clear that the UK government has put Israel at the heart of its policymaking around free expression. Whether it's proscribing Palestine Action as a terrorist group, arresting hundreds of people for holding signs supporting it...
Hi everyone, we are deeply concerned for the wellbeing of my brother, Tommy O’Neill, and urgently need your help. He was last seen on May 13th at the Amistat Hostel in San Antonio, Ibiza, and his family and friends have not heard from him in two weeks. We have filed a missing person’s report, but we’re hoping that fellow solo travellers may have crossed paths with Tommy in recent days and can help where possible.
Tommy is a 34-year-old Irish man, 6 feet tall, with dark brown curly hair (as shown in the attached photo). His mental health has deteriorated recently, so he is currently very vulnerable and may be acting unusually or appearing confused.
If you recall seeing or speaking to anyone matching this description around San Antonio or anywhere else on the island over the last two weeks, please contact me immediately.
Please WhatsApp me at +49 2933 780 if you have any information at all, no matter how small it might seem. Please share this post to help us reach as many people in Ibiza as possible.
Thank you.
Today, I signed an Executive Order temporarily repealing bedtimes in the City of New York so that kids of all ages can watch our team in the NBA Finals.
As Mayor, you’re forced to make many difficult decisions. This was not one of them.
Go Knicks.
The UK government has barred Hasan Piker and Cenk Uygur from entering the country over their criticism of Israel.
Meanwhile, war criminal Isaac Herzog, whose statements were cited in the ICJ genocide case against Israel, was welcomed at Downing Street with open arms.
I’ve written to Shabana Mahmood demanding these bans be reversed immediately:
