I’m going to give you a 19th/20th Century Turkish word that must be considered by all leaders (#prententious, or not): *adamsendecilik* ‘being messed about in a pointless way by someone in authority to the point at which you need help’ - that’s what’s got to stop at every level.

Once again, my wife spent the past month Halloween-maxxing so our kids could homemade-costume-mog.

Russia became the worlds largest country by peacefully erasing the culture of newly occupied lands by means of mass murder and then repopulating the area with russians so we can then claim it is "historical russian land"

A 14YO boy lay in wait to attack a 14YO girl - where he stabbed her TEN times - and stabbed a shopkeeper.
A judge panders to him in court, calling him a "bright boy" and "prison is no place for him" and let's him walk free.
Police say it was a miracle the girl survived. She suffers nightmares and ongoing trauma that will affect her for the rest of her life.
Her family left distraught.
A public outraged - moved in their droves to challenge it.
Yet nothing will be done.
This boy learns he can commit the most horrific, violent attacks and be greeted with nothing but softly spoken words and a smile.
The girl learns her life, her safety, her future does not matter.
This country is a disgrace. A shameful, catastrophic hellhole of injustice with a legal system that cares only for horrific offenders and NO regard whatsoever for the trail of destroyed lives they leave behind.
I absolutely despair.
Thank you to everyone who challenged it. They gave us hope justice could prevail by including it on the website - but had no intention of following it through - which somehow makes it even worse. 😞
🙏Thank you so much to everyone who sent in an unduly lenient sentence request and/or shared this post.
This outrageous sentence is now being considered for review.
I hope this girl knows that she matters.
I hope she knows we are rooting for her.
I hope she knows we will not accept it.
And I hope the Attorney General does the right thing and changes this sentence to one that truly reflects the gravity of what this boy did.
Thank you again everyone 💜🥹

I don’t know what’s more upsetting, watching antisemitism increase or watching normal people stay silent.

One of the most insane videos I've seen.
American-Jewish comedian who describes himself as pro-Palestine is attacked at his show by a woman who believes all Jews are evil.
This antisemitic garbage has become totally normalised. Social media brain rot!

The most catastrophic British political event of my lifetime was the Expenses Scandal of 2009, which ensured at a stroke that the Conservative Party (which had displayed some interest in serious reform of the State prior to that) would spend its next term in office shackled to a party that clearly loathed the idea of governing and was barely more intellectually coherent than it is now in its degraded Ed Davey Rubber Dinghy Rapids Era; that journalists would be able to snipe away at MPs indefinitely; and that the talent pool for MPs would diminish to people prepared to be paid £85k per annum in return for five years of tabloids publicising them claiming Yorkies on expenses. We lost a decade of politics to this.

Veterans sneering at the Op CABRIT WSM? WANKERS!! 180 days away from family in -20 holding NATO's flank in Estonia while you post shit from the sofa. Veterans with class lift up serving troops. Mocking sacrifice isn't cool, it's insecurity. Punching down is Walt behaviour.

@janekbradley says I got less funny though. Fair, it's hard keeping up the humour when you have to share a room with 8 bottles of drain cleaner 🫣

When Howard Carter was breaking into our tombs and raking about it was a bit annoying as I was asleep, but it can't be worse than having Kate Nevens and Lara Bird show up at your border demanding to be let in

Abject horrors of Transatlantic slavery & the plantation system aren’t diminished by recognising Roman slavery was equally horrific in many circumstances. Claims made here simply aren’t true. It wasn’t all cosy, domestic & respectful!! Working in Roman mines was at least as bad as working on a plantation, slave marriages had no recognition, & children of Roman slaves were sold at will. Why pretend otherwise?

The funny thing about this is that I posted it at the urging and direction of an Israeli friend, who posited that the mere sight of an Irish woman mentioning Israeli democracy and eating Israeli food (the necessity of a laffa in future is noted) would drive Irish Twitter apoplectic.
And so it has! Irish anti-Israel folks: please do keep exposing yourselves and do so with the knowledge that I simply don’t care about your ignorance and hatred anymore. It’s so transparent to everyone outside Ireland and I receive infinitely more support than abuse at this point. Indeed, thank you very much for helping to gain attention to and grow my page, it is much appreciated.

"What's election day like in Israel?"
Oh you know, pretty normal. Probably the same as every other country.

Just delightful videos of Bedouin Israeli voters riding camels to the polls, mostly to vote for Ra'am, an Islamist party with a Jewish #2 that could be the kingmaker in the election's outcome.

Slam Israel all day long but never lose sight of the irony of a guy funded by Qatar criticising the quality of their elections.
"The Most Racist Election in Israel’s History"
If Netanyahu stays, Israel will become a pariah state – so the Israeli establishment is doing everything it can to ensure that he loses. But a Gadi Eisenkot victory won’t help Palestinians either, writes @OborneTweets for Zeteo UK:

The two most beautiful words on Wikipedia. Smallpox was the killer of infants. It was the crippler of those who survived. It was endemic. It was inevitable. Smallpox was, and is no more. Humanity stands triumphant over its carcass.
