So shocking that the censorship in the totalitarian dictatorship of North Korea forbids free speech. Oh wait …. that’s the US not Korea!

Am I unusual for making a to do list before I go to bed and updating it first thing in the morning? Am I just too busy or am I weird? 😂😂. #ListAddict

Am I the only one who thinks the #TylerRobinson arrest stinks. A family member turned him in. Really? Trump voters are they? I’ve had conversations with people here who joked about being the shooter. Kirk was a monster so millions of people had a problem with him. Trump now wants to kill him.

How many innocent people have been killed by the US, either directly or by complicity, in the last 24 years since 9/11.

A year ago, to improve my life, reduce pain, and avoid double knee surgery I committed to weight loss. I’m 70yrs old, 5ft 1 and I weighed 18 st 2 lbs. 13 months later, I weigh 10 stone 11lbs. Total loss so far = 7st 5lbs or 46.72kg. Can I get a woohoo! #motivation #determination #ProudOfMe

"German media had become a direct pipeline for Israeli talking points, quickly recycled into the international arena and repackaged as 'evidence'
...When the history of this genocide is written, there will be chapters on the media’s role"

And Australian legacy media will also have a case to answer.

In less than 2 weeks there will be bonfires all over the North with 'kill all taigs' on them. Along with effigies of politicians on them. No one will be prosecuted for this. I doubt Starmer will even talk about it.

I remember when 'Irish car bombs' was a popular name for a drink in English and even Canadian pubs. I also remember Ian Paisley senior and others calling for the killing of Catholics. And so much else. But, yeah, Kneecap.

Its lawful speech to have an offensive/shock value band name like "Kneecap". I would disapprove of calling a band Kneecap, Suicide Vest, Lynch Mob, Pogrom, Nail Bomb, or Punishment Beating or White Hoods on taste/ethics. I guess Guillotine or Executioner/Hangman might be more defensible in context.

I’m on about humans. Farmers shoot wild birds to protect their livestock. Humans poison the earth. Humans destroy birds nests and the habitats of other wildlife on a regular basis. I’m sick of cats and foxes being blamed by people who cause a lot more damage.

I’m not impressed by your insult. I care very much for all animals. I have rescued animals for many years. Your childhood loss of pet cats seems to still affect you. I’m sick of animals being blamed for damage to wildlife when humans are the greatest threat.
