People in Israel and Palestine are suffering. It’s a war. It’s a genocide. It’s apartheid. It’s a state of permanent terror pitting neighbours against each other.
It has to end.
Is this motion helping with that? Nope. It’s pissing people off and making us look like we don’t understand the nuance.

“This Labour Government is the worst thing to have ever happened to trans children.
They have step by step dismantled every protection that supported my daughter […] At every point when the Labour Government could have made something better, they have turned around and given her another kick.”

I don’t care who the owners are. No one should have this much control over the media.
The combined Warner Bros. and Paramount company will be named Skydance.
Warner Bros. and Paramount will continue to operate as brands under the parent company.

Yes. You should.
A guy on here asked if he was supposed to just stop being friends with someone who'd raped someone and I can't stop thinking about it

I've decided to do one of those horror film a day during October challenges, mostly for fun but also to help me discover more new and diverse films.
It's a list I've set myself, plus the extra rules of only one film per director, and one film per franchise.
(Now with easier to read non-AI slop)

Ah yes, the mind is boggled by immigrants and tourists who don’t want to get abused and thrown into a secret nightmare prison for weeks or months before eventually being whisked away to a country they didn’t come from in the first fucking place. What a mystery!
Visitors to the US are on track to drop by almost two million year-on-year.
“We’re the only major country in the world losing visitation,” the head of the US Travel Association said. “It’s mind-boggling.”

i worry that men think being A Good Guy is dramatically and heroically intervening on behalf of an endangered woman and then being publicly rewarded on a grand scale when actually being A Good Guy is just usually saying, “hey man that’s not funny” or “wow that’s fucked up” and there is no reward

Wes Streeting continuing to push the govt line that the UK is not involved in the war on Iran.
US bombers were taking off from the UK to bomb Iran & UK military forces have been actively engaged in blocking Iranian retaliation.
"No part in this war" is a lie.
