Is it *extra*-marital in general or specifically *pre*-marital? Because if it's the latter everyone should just get married to fulfil that legal obligation purely so they can bang whoever they like whenever they like.

First look at ‘ONE NIGHT ONLY’, starring Callum Turner and Monica Barbaro. The film is a rom-com version of ‘The Purge’ where premarital sex is outlawed except for one night every year. In theaters on August 7.

Because of course he did.

‘Fifa Super League’: Infantino discussed having governing body’s name on European breakaway

Worth noting that Ceuta and Melilla, by virtue of only being captured in 1580 and 1497 respectively, were not subject to the Alhambra Decree and thus are the only parts of modern Spain where Sephardi Jewish communities survived (modern mainland communities are much later arrivals/returnees).

Ben Shapiro probably does not know enough history to even know this, but the way he is talking about Muslims as a nation within the nation who can never be integrated is almost verbatim what European nationalists said about Jews in the late 19th and early 20th centuries.

This would be the one thing that might finally redeem him for the Ghana handball.

Lmfao not even the Trump stamp of approval will make them vote for a Muslim when a white man is available

John@johnlk.bsky.social · 18h ago

So, uh, a candidate who suspended his campaign a month ago is winning a landslide against a Trump endorsed candidate because of anti-Muslim prejudice against a guy who is not Muslim (and I guess probably also just regular racism). How often does a candidate who suspended their campaign win?

Always a great way to start a sentence.

Native BCS speakers - would it be fair to say that "pozvati" is perhaps less formal (for want of a better word) than "invite" in English? In the sense that it could have a less grand meaning of someone simply being "called on" or "asked for"?

This is a film about a parent whose "knowing best" led to his son getting kidnapped and nearly killed.

Bragging about missing the message of a movie for seven-year-olds

An example I like to go back to is Marcus Willis (then ranked world No. 772) getting a Wildcard to play Roger Federer (then No. 3) in Wimbledon in 2016. Federer won in straight sets, of course. But on an individual point-by-point basis, Willis actually won the rally 42% of the time!

Also the trope of England supposedly not having been successfully invaded since 1066 is largely an invented tradition. We ignore the 1215-17 French and 1327 Scottish invasions altogether, and pretend the 1153 Angevin and 1688 Dutch invasions and seizures of the throne were voluntary domestic affairs

Nah, specifically anti-Nigerian racism just won't catch on outside of Africa, because that would require anti-Black racists to distinguish Nigerians from other Black people, which they will never do.

Starfire’s Deranged Neocon Foreign Policy Podcast@irhottakes.bsky.social · yesterday

Who do we think gets to be the next target of hysterical persecution once politicians and the media get tired of picking on trans people? My money is on Nigerians. Demographic that’s highly educated and black. Easy to bait resentful morons into getting mad over that.

People often bring up as a defence of the judicial processes the point that Miller, Forstater, etc's more extreme views were only expressed after their cases, but to me it's a huge fault.

Nate O@nateo.bsky.social · yesterday

As far as I’m aware, David Miller’s more recent egregious statements about Jews occurred outside the scope of the judgment, but I’d like to know if I’m still open to call David Miller a raging antisemite without this judgment opening me up to a SLAP suit

Everywhere should be a hostile place for Republicans. They should not be able to find a friend anywhere. They should lose all their professional and familial relationships. They should be blocked from signing up to social media platforms, clubs, and yard sales. They should be ejected from fairs.

There's this very weird but noticeable tendency to treat legal aspects that are Byzantine & opaque to lay folks - to the point of "I know it might LOOK like it says X, but if you read these 25 200-page previous rulings, you'll see it really means the opposite" - as features rather than obvious bugs.

There's also the fun thing where they can always hold them at full draw on demand for any length of time, when even the strongest man would struggle to hold a medieval war bow like that for more than a few seconds.

TIL that Japan's constantly one accident away from having to rewrite it's whole Imperial succession law because it's strictly male-line succession only and there is precisely 1 man in the Imperial Family under the age of 60.

For fuck's sake. The "protected belief" phenomenon has really got out of hand, judges are increasingly just throwing it out there for any weirdo who wants to harass people at work. Reminder that this provision was intended to protect *religious* beliefs.

Efforts to launder hate and discrimination through some "charitable" endeavour in the bet that people will be reluctant to criticise that are not exactly some great novel idea.

At a certain point, having voted for at least one candidate of both parties at some point in your adult life is just a function of age.

This says absolutely nothing of substance whatsoever about the thing it is ostensibly meant to address. "I've voted for people of both parties" good for you bro so have many Trumpists, how about you address the fact that you guys were literally leveraging your personal relationship with Trump
