I think of supermarket wagyu beef in the same way I think about halal and kosher meat. It is utter BS. We kill millions of animals in the most brutal way every minute in the name of religion while playing some religious chants. Ban it. Wagyu beef needs to be certified asap. Not just vague claims.
Everything Hurts and I’m Dying@ehaid.bsky.social · 1h agoI know wagyu beef is supposed to be the best but is it really $60 for a 12 oz ribeye good? Saw it at the grocery store and couldn’t believe it.
I’d recommend everyone watch this - it’s rather cheering to watch our media discover that an incompetent crank runs our national equality regulator

TL;DR: When the British Medical Association's long-awaited review of the Cass Review was published, the media said it had "dropped its opposition" and "vindicated" Cass. But, according to doctors who were on the BMA's review team, that's not what actually happened.
Reporting about British Medical Association critique of Cass Review was 'factually wrong'
The mainstream media's reporting of vital information about trans healthcare was wrong. Again.

He's losing words. Anyone with a parent or loved one suffering from dementia will recognize this pattern. Wen he says "moving cameras," it's because he can't recall the word "videos" and so he's stating the component parts as best he can. E.g., a "camera" is involved and the images are "moving"

I’m really pushing it tomorrow morning by taking a 5.17am train to London St Pancras instead of my regular 5.05am. I will use the extra time to spray so much Bleu de Chanel over myself that no one will want to sit near me all day.

Guest of honour for Keir Starmer, who used a gilded carriage to show the orange clown where Andrew used to live. Trump is fading fast.

Their storefronts are broken. Their trees are all gross. Everything about the place is dirty. It's really all of them."

In 1906, the newspaper 'La Nación' had written: 'Sorolla is one of the glories of Valencia...one of the glories of modern Spain.'
As Rod Liddle has died, I notice this column I wrote in 2019 about his attacks on people with M.E. is on the most read again. Rebekah Brooks, of News UK, described Liddle today as “provocative”. In reality, he spread lies about very sick people for cash. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...
