The coastal line of Israel (occupied Palestine) and Gaza in one picture, where one group of people is living an apocalyptic life and the other is living high on the hog.

This clip of Russell Brand and Jimmy Saville being perverts about Brand's female assistant is wild to look back on...

This you?
How am I as a Jewish Canadian responsible for Israel’s self defence war in Gaza but Muslims in Canada aren’t responsible for the 50,000+ Islamic terrorist attacks across the globe since September 11, 2001?

It's quite scary that once Israelis decide they like a particular country as tourists, they start treating it's native residents as invaders - first jokingly, and then in earnest. We cannot allow them to do the same here at any cost.
They spread their racism, corniness & arrogance wherever they go 🤮 A group of Israeli tourists filmed themselves laughing as they push a local boat operator into the water in Sri Lanka

The challenges posed by #ArtificialIntelligence and unregulated automation can put countless jobs at risk and become a real threat to proper integral human development. Technology must always be subject to ethics; an algorithm cannot replace human discernment or a worker's value. Access to work for all must be a high priority for public policies and economic processes, serving as a criterion for evaluating the human quality of any development model. #ApostolicJourney #Argentina

Many had predicted that the Soviet collapse would unleash a new creative era, with a generation of young talent eager to break free of the old system's constraints. That never happened. They have not produced another Battleship Potemkin, And Quiet Flows the Don, Stalker, The Cranes Are Flying, etc. It makes sense. The Soviet Union had extensive cultural and artistic infrastructure that included state-funded theatres, publishing houses, film studios, conservatories, art schools, cultural centres--much of which collapsed with the USSR. To this day, the post-Soviet era has yet to produce a cultural legacy comparable to that of those seven decades. The loss of the USSR was the end of a civilization.
The Soviets believed all art is political, and produced seven decades of shitty art

since this seems to be going over people's heads: this is a response to Tony Hinchcliffe, who told the same exact joke about George Floyd at the Kevin Hart roast
“I’m sure Charlie Kirk is looking up at us right now, laughing so hard he can’t breathe” Dave Chappelle makes a joke about Charlie Kirk during his show at Madison Square Garden

Chappelle's special is outrageously inappropriate and offensive and that's exactly the kind of comedy we need right now. I think it will go down as a classic and one of the most important comedy specials of the last 30 years.

-watched Democracy Now once -read vaguely leftist criticism of the Iraq war -became a critic himself -immediately killed by his own squad
Pat Tillman: -jacked -hot wife -3 year starter at Arizona State -benched 225lbs 29 times -374 tackles in 4 years with Arizona Cardinals -turned down $3.6M contract to enlist in Army after 9/11 -deployed to Iraq -passed Ranger school in 62 days (0 failures) -ran into enemy fire in Afghanistan to cover his squad during an ambush -hunted terrorists -lost his life fighting for his country Next time you feel like wasting your potential tell yourself: don’t be a do-nothing doughboy - be a grateful SAVAGE like Pat Tillman.

This is why Dave Chappelle said he feels better about Charlie Kirk being gone btw The fact that conservatives think they can ban jokes about a guy who used to joke about genocide is peak hilarity. You guys forever lost the culture, just take the L

The Abdul El-Sayed victory is turning into another very useful litmus test to divide people who think the point of politics is the election vs people who think the point of politics is what happens after the election
Ro Khanna said something factually inaccurate. I pointed out that it was factually inaccurate. Mehdi Hasan gets mad at me for some reason and points out irrelevantly that Hillary Clinton and Kamala Harris both lost.
