It is my firm belief that in the future psychologists will discover that the desire to move to Dubai is a key indicator of severe mental illness
Gaza was a laboratory - the plan is to globalize the genocide
''Do you even read theory, bro?''
The theory:
Obviously the Two Sessions are important and actually a pretty decent story for Chinese media to lead with but unfortunately my brain has been cooked by the click bait model of news media
Love that Chinese State media is like ''ah yes the Two Legislative Sessions, the top (and perhaps only) developing global news story in March. Yes, sir, everyone is glued to their phone monitoring the situation at the NPC''
Total eclipse of the heart (whatever the moon is doing is cool too I guess)
Always a little confused that in Chinese it is also the Middle East (ไธญไธๅฝๅฎถ) given that the region is in fact to the West of China. Starting a petition to get Chinese speakers to call it the middle West or something
I think someone should name a non-evil company after something in Lord of the Rings because satanic billionaires are way over represented in the LotR fan community right now
NEW EP: we discuss all things Looksmaxxing. Who is Clavicular and why is he smashing his bones? Where did looksmaxxing come from? What does it tell us about modern America? And, most importantly, why assassins need to be looksmaxxing

I would like an Internet the Americans can't use because I will see something labeled Republican rebel songs, click on it then realize that Republican means something very different in the US
Boy am I glad we aren't integrating AI into the Western military infrastructure or anything. If we were doing something that stupid I would be very concerned right now
During the Scramble for China do you think anyone was ever like ''Hey, Germany, did you invite Austro-Hungry? Then wtf are they doing here?!?''
The Greens only have 5 MPs and we have already reached this is the Iranian Revolution levels of hysteria. The next couple of years in British politics is going to be truly mental
Queer Islamo-Communism with Chinese Characteristics will be the strongest ideology the world has yet seen. Nothing will be able to stand against it
Ironically this was what the Labour party was kind of founded to do but now is filled with the weirdest twitter obsessed politics junkies
Hope Wins! Scottish Greens.
Greens beat Reform! ๐
Congratulations to Hannah Spencer and our friends @greenparty.org.uk on their historic by-election victory in Gorton and Denton.
We will never let the politics of hate divide us. The Greens will always put people and planet before profit.
So Labour basically have no idea what they are doing, right
Looksmaxxing community in shambles
As a Scottish person I obviously believe strong regional accented English is good and proper but as someone learning Chinese I obviously believe everyone should speak clear, standard Mandarin. No this is not hypocrisy. And no I will not be explaining why it isn't hypocrisy
If Britain must have a King we need jousting, quests, outlaws taking from the rich and giving to the poor, periodic wars over the succession and occasional executions of corrupt advisors to appease the mob.
If we are going to keep a medieval institution we should commit to the bit
Why did anyone go to the bee wake?!? Why are they all just chilling besides the bee swarm?!? Who let the kids play under the bee hive coffin?!? ๐ญ๐ญ๐ญ
We've saved Loch Lomond. Flamingo Land Rejected! Scottish Greens.
We've saved Loch Lomond!
For the last decade, we have fought to save Loch Lomond from Flamingo Land's destructive mega-resort plan. Today, their plans have been rejected!

I would rather battle a mythical creature than to hyrox
My husband has suggested we do a Hyrox together. I am currently applying for refugee status in someone else's house
Desperately want a Warhammer 40k manga retelling the Monmouth Rebellion in which the Emperor of Man is James II and Horus is the Duke of Monmouth now
Tarot began as a card game in Italy and only started getting used for divination in the 18thC. Wondering if this means we should start telling the future using Magic the Gathering or Pokemon cards or something
