This, from BBC News, makes no sense. Why would Hamas plan to attack Gaza civilians when they purport to represent them? They run the hospitals, why would they want to cause more suffering to their own people? This seems like just another Zionist excuse to resume bombing the shit out of Gaza again.

I see the ‘Department of Murdering Venezuelan Fishermen’ has now got a Bluesky account.

I wouldn’t say Starmer is a Zionist shill — but he’s certainly no socialist statesman.

That’s 150,000 human beings every year being torn apart from their lives in Britain by an American-style snatch squad that bears much similarity to the infamous Gestapo, and the Express appears to laud this idea. Surely this paper only appeals to the worst people in society.

The UK is a multicultural nation with a diverse population, and British society simply couldn’t function without people from different ethnic and cultural backgrounds. Last Saturday’s flag-shaggers ball would’ve looked very different if everyone had brought along the flag of their own lineage.

To be fair, it’s not been confirmed whether Starmer will actually meet with Herzog yet, but I would be surprised if he doesn’t. Maybe they could visit an arms factory together and sign a few bombs for a photo op?

7/7 Music freak: A former keyboard player (until my grand piano was sold and my Roland Juno 6 was stolen), I’m a ‘young’ boomer who laps up all music, irrespective of age and genre - currently besotted with the music of Ren, Creeper & Awolnation. Imho The Beatles are gods!

Frustrated writer: ..of ‘The Book’ - a long-term project I began in 1997 to investigate the realities of existence through an immersive, all-revealing book that I discovered within a recurring lucid dream. Paradoxically based around logic! Further info at the4books.com

4/7 Woke: adjective - alert to, and concerned about, social injustice and discrimination. Antonym = ignorant - unaware or unconcerned (about the plight of different people & minority cultures). No person is less human than any other, but some people are certainly more dangerous or foolish.

3/7 Humanist: whilst I believe we are collectively responsible for the sorry state of our world, I could not in good conscience stand back and watch anyone (or anything for that matter) unduly suffer. I like to think I’d help any stranger in distress & can act selflessly should I really need to!

2/7 Misanthropic: I detest the human race of which I am a part. Not only do we suffocate the natural world with our burgeoning populations, but we are continually at war with one another. We exploit the planet largely for the benefit of an entitled minority with little regard for other life.

Boredom is a ‘First World’ malady, so as I had a bit of time to waste this afternoon, I thought I’d expand my Bluesky description (just in case anyone is in the slightest bit interested). + it gave me something to do for 30 mins! (1/7)

Just for the fun of it I asked GPT to create a table comparing America’s most famous tech billionaires - regarding their age, personal wealth, the most praiseworthy and least popular things they have done with their money, and their overall popularity. This was what I got back…

Broadly speaking, the people who voted to leave the EU in 2016 fell into 3 distinct groups which, as illustrated by the triple set Venn diagram, were not mutually exclusive. A more detailed explanation over the following 🧵
