Talking of BBC bias - here's the man in charge of the BBC's online Middle East output drooling over Mossad.
This guy is now suing Owen Jones for saying he's biased towards Israel.

@adamcsharp.bsky.social I just published a digitization of the 1994 PHS reprint of the original 1893 broadside of Hart's Rules (latex.silmaril.ie/harts-rules/) which the OUP made standard practice. But the #oxfordcomma as such is never mentioned (just the comma-separation of adjectives). Just sayin'

Hello it's me the leader of the party full of landlords that has been in power your whole adult life and created the housing crisis we now refuse to resolve.
I'm here to tell you it's actually the foreigners' fault.

Any decent historian reads European decline in this statement. Tightening Russian visa rules for Europe while relying on Russian resources, underfunding Ukraine, and inviting Putin to visit the EU is like decorating a bucket with a hole in it.
Starting a war and expecting to move freely in Europe is hard to justify.
The EU is tightening visa rules for Russian nationals amid continued drone disruptions and sabotage on European soil.
Travelling to the EU is a privilege, not a given.

Friendly reminder that Republicans are garbage, entirely devoid of empathy, compassion, or honor. They are terrified little babies who are filled with hate, scared to death of anything they don't understand. And they don't understand most things, because they are also deeply incurious.

With SNAP benefits going to shit because of rich assholes and corruption running rampant through politics I'd like to point your attention to a Clinton.
No, not one of those Clintons. This Clinton. Clifford Clinton.
