The Swedish Football Association has declared that it has no confidence in Infantino. 👍

Still there are Liberals and Democrats defending Israel by saying it’s a Netanyahu problem. No. It’s an Israel problem and a YOU problem.

I understand it will not happen but Count Binface beating Nigel Farage would be the funniest thing that ever happened in Anglosphere politics

It's a supreme irony that the crime of genocide is why Germany must shelter the crime of genocide.

The EU still has a Free Trade deal with Israel which benefits Israel massively, in fact they would struggle to survive without it. Why are they still doing Free Trade with Netanyahu when he is playing these stupid games? Boycott Israel, stop Free Trade.

Look, I don't know much about this issue, but according to the media I consume which is carefully engineered to piss me off,

Was just talking with a friend about how jeans, a red checked button down shirt and a newspaper from that day is an easy dead Mitch McConnell Halloween costume and now she sends me this:

Hope this helps . As of 22 July 2026, Gaza’s Health Ministry reported about 73,200 Palestinians killed in Gaza since 7 October 2023. That includes roughly 1,180 deaths since the October 2025 ceasefire. The figure may rise as bodies are recovered and deaths from wounds are recorded.

The median voter really is just SO fucking racist dude lmao. Like somewhere around half of the American electorate just fucking loves this shit and any hope of reaching them is entirely dependant on how they feel about other issues. Christ alive

The goal is to satisfy the *emotions* behind every information need without providing real information.

The cross-platform enshittification of search functionality is such an infuriating exercise of authoritarian creep. They would like to kill the inclination to find information & enforce satisfaction with be fed information.

This is funny. He will win in court.

"we can't do that there's no money" you keep funding a frat of boys in blue too dumb to use a computer and given a gun of course we can afford this, the money's being misused

The reason Zohran scares the shit out of them so much is that they think this sort of technocrat FDR liberalism/market socialism will *work* and be popular, not that it will fail and be unpopular. They're afraid that he will be a good mayor not a bad mayor.

lowtax speedrun enjoyer@rickywlmsbong.bsky.social · 2w ago

zohran is a completely normal (mixed-market socialist/new-deal liberal/whatever) and it’s completely frying the brains of people with too much money or whose livelihoods are built on catering to the opinions of people with too much money

It’s also frankly a really bad look on Ukraine’s part she was able to get an audience with Serious People in government and Ukrainian society. They need to have standards and recognize that there is in fact such a thing as bad press.

Phillips OBrien@phillipspobrien.bsky.social · 2w ago

People embracing a racist who trashes US democracy because she also now supports Ukraine need to understand what they are supporting. You must own this as well. There is one side in support of freedom and the rule of law, and this is not on that side.

Schrödinger's Antifa: A generation of snowflakes who need safe spaces to complete their gender studies degrees and who would have pissed themselves on D-Day, but are simultaneously a highly organised group of violent domestic terrorists working to overthrow the government.

this is the real explanation for the vibecession btw, people have been seeing massive economic growth for 40+ years but their own positions are only mildly improving it’s keeping up with the joneses but actually a legitimate grievance and the post-covid boom was the final straw

Yes, the Problems are bad, but this is no time for radical things like Solutions

lots of reporters suddenly worried about slipping into communism but strangely f*cking quiet about slipping into fascism

i told you it was going to get weird running hot people!

Mitch McConnell would have replaced Mitch McConnell a month ago. Why can’t the Dems get their shit together?

the whole "women's sports exist to protect women from men" framing is hilarious, given that a lot of these divisions were initially formed because men were deeply embarrassed any time a woman beat them at a sport olympic shooting was mixed gender right up until a woman won the gold
