Excuse typos - so angry that so soon after 165 girls aged 7-12 were murdered in the Israel/US war on Iran that @micheal-martin.bsky.social is going to present himself & some shamrock to the mobster/mass murderer/rapist in the WH.
So disloyal & disrespectful to all women.

Israeli attacks on UNIFIL peace keepers tonight. Irish service men were not directly hit, but they aided their counterparts from Ghana. This will further deteriorate Irish Israel relations.

People Are Calling Meta Ray-Bans "Pervert Glasses" On Bluesky, users quickly embraced the term "pervert glasses" to refer to Meta's Ray Ban smart glasses, following a shocking investigation.

Make it stick.

This is almost exactly what I said would happen on yesterday’s show. The conflicting & contradictory reasons given for the war, coupled with client journalists & pusillanimous politicians on both sides of the Atlantic, will enable him to claim β€˜success’ when nothing remotely successful has happened.

I’m gone so cynical that the concierge doctors helping uninsured guy in episode 2 frustrated me, but I’m still enjoying it.

I like Star Trek and Star Wars, but the fandoms are completely different, in that Star Wars has a sizeable "the Empire did nothing wrong" contingent but not a single Trekkie says the same thing about the Cardassians.

Dolly Parton is literally the only good billionaire and proof we don't just actively hate people with money simply for having it.

We hate you because you're all fucking monsters.

Dynamics of natural selection preceding human viral epidemics and pandemics Using a phylogenetic framework to characterize natural selection, we investigate the hypothesis that zoonotic viruses require adaptation prior to zoon…

There's a common misconception that zoonotic viruses require significant adaptation to jump from animals to cause human epidemics.

Not so πŸ‘‡.

Further, we see clear signs of 1977 flu experiencing cell passage, prior to epidemic.

SARS-CoV-2? Business as usual.

Love that the Sensible consensus is that sinking an unarmed Iranian vessel is completely legitimate and good but Iran striking airbases used to stage attacks against them is unreasonable escalation.

Steve-O was on Joe Rogan's show trying to defend trans people and Rogan went off, he called trans people "fucking perverts" and "mass shooters" who have done the majority of school shootings.

Completely unhinged bigotry paid for by your Spotify subscriptions.

This is another Europe-wide policy that no-one ever talks about.
It's not enough to deport people - they have to be traumatised, devalued and humiliated in the process, and everyone who plays any part in that process is a piece of shit that should be ostracised by decent people everywhere.

They've been saying this for well over a DECADE.

While people struggle more and more to make ends meet and keep a roof over their heads.

And at the same time, REITs and landlords get richer and richer.
