No, that's a time day. A prime day is when you uphold law and order in Ankh Morpork.
Nah, that's a vice day girl, a prime day is where you celebrate clocks, calendar and the like
No, that's a dime day, a prime day is when you perform transgressions against social mores we've collectively seen fit to codify into law.

What has Yvette Cooper’s proscription of Palestine Action done to this country?
Beyond absurd. It’s extreme authoritarianism. These police should be arresting rapists & crooks, not neglecting those duties to spend time arresting citizens standing against genocide.
It undermines police and the law.

This is a PR stunt that lets Israel’s genocide continue.
Meanwhile David Lammy won’t expel the Israeli ambassador, end all trade, implement a full arms embargo, stop surveillance flights or UK training of Israeli soldiers.

The way that I was raised, being Jewish meant believing that every human life was sacred; to save a single human life meant saving all of humanity. That no law or ritual was more important than saving a single human life.
It's unfathomable that any Jew can accept what Israel is doing in Gaza.

With Tom Lehrer's passing, I suppose this is a moment to share the story of the prank he played on the National Security Agency, and how it went undiscovered for nearly 60 years.

Israel's war on Gaza is definitely only about ending Hamas rule and freeing the hostages. Okay? 🤡
That's why the Israeli parliament just passed, with a large coalition + opposition majority, a West Bank annexation declaration, the area where Hamas isn't in charge, and has no hostages 🤔

For most Jews, Israel was not about settler colonialism. It was supposed to be a safe homeland for a traumatised generation post-Holocaust. It was, in the Jewish consciousness, a homecoming to a land we’d been expelled from. What it’s become fills me with grief, rage & shame I can’t even articulate.
