How many clips of Dr Feelgood playing on German television in the 1970s can one man watch? Well - how many clips are there?
Women will be like “lemme see your reels” thinking it’ll be some gooner shit. Babe. You’re about to see dogs so fat you’ll wish I was watching Sydney Sweeney fancams.

He’s wrong. The message of the Dune series is to support the brave mujahideen fighters of Afghanistan.
Timothée Chalamet says the message of ‘DUNE: PART 3’ is to beware of charismatic leaders. “Frank Herbert wrote Messiah as he wanted to warn the world what can happen when people blindly follow leaders. Even the good can be corrupted.”

Being a liberal Zionist means finding the take that will alienate the people on all other sides of an issue
I’m grieving the deaths of the two Israeli soldiers killed in Hebron today, and praying for the full & speedy recovery of those who were injured. I’ve spoken out loudly this week against Israel’s occupation of the West Bank, which imposes violence on a daily basis, and I will continue to do so. But violence is not the path to ending it — or to achieving safety, freedom, and peace for both Palestinians and Israelis. And neither is collective punishment or ethnic cleansing of an entire neighborhood, or punishing millions of people for the criminal act of two, which Netanyahu has promised to enact in response. I’ve seen a lot this week and I’ll have more to say about in the coming days (I’m on my way home shortly). There is a path to ending this excruciating cycle of violence. It starts by insisting that every life is sacred, that everyone is created in God’s image. For now: Shabbat Shalom, to everyone who believes in the hard work of making peace & justice a reality, for everyone.

He hasn’t received a single accurate briefing since the war started. They’re showing him AI videos of Superman and the Lone Ranger blowing up Tehran
When asked whether the U.S. is preparing for an extended conflict in Iran, President Trump tells CBS News' @weijia , "We can end it very quickly, but Iran is a failing nation." "The question is, do we want to finish it off, or do we let it — do we just want to let it wither because we're getting everything we want."

This is such an interesting clash of cultures. I'm not sure Gaza ranks among even the top 20 foreign policy questions of the last 25 years. Iraq is a bit higher, but in the long run, surprisingly inconsequential too.

My upright ancestors tended the fields and upheld their guild to produce a social surplus so that your parasitic ancestors could go play horsey with the Saracens
Replying to @AndromedaPip
My ancestors defended Vienna from Islam and charged down the Kahlenberg mountain on horseback against the Ottomans, what did yours do?

Israel flag in bio and he’s not Jewish or Palestinian, so …
Gaza, or anything having to do with Israel, is only the "biggest foreign policy issue" of our time if you're Jewish, Palestinian, or antisemitic.

Yggy is the Elizabeth Holmes of punditry. every day he wakes up is a do-over for him and he fundamentally doesn't accept that he needs to be held accountable for anything he's said or done before. it's a level of mendacity & self-belief you can't really break through
Hasan: "What does it say for your credibility on foreign policy issues if you've got the two biggest foreign policy issues of our lifetime, Iraq and Gaza, both wrong?" Yglesias: "I don't know that those were the two biggest foreign policy issues of our lifetime..."

There was a time in US history when this would have spelled the end of a presidential administration
The GRU hacked into Jared Kushner's iPhone. Dutch military intelligence (MIVD) then recruited a GRU spy who gave them access to the hacked phone. What MIVD discovered was that Kushner had access to two bank accounts --one Azerbaijani, the other Israeli --where Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman and Emirati ruler Mohammed bin Zayed deposited money. It sounds like a slightly far-fetched episode of "Slow Horses," but it's real. And it proves just how eye-poppingly corrupt this administration was and continues to be as its "special envoy" decides the fate of tens of millions in Europe in the Middle East. Simply incredible reporting by Matthew Cole, drawn from his new book on Kushner. vanityfair.com/story/jared-k…

“Major report”
What an extraordinary stance by Zack Polanski, appearing to dismiss a major report on antisemitism in schools and using it as an opportunity to attack the Board of Deputies.
