"Soros money" is the current era's way of saying "Jewish money" whilst covering up that you're a massive antisemite.

James Barišić 🇭🇷 @james.barisic.fr · 1d

What I don't get, right, is that, as someone who worked in politics for more years than I care to remember, I never saw an advert for the job of "professional protestor", nor was I ever offered use of any protestors, nor did I ever get my hands on any "Soros money". Odd.

Sen. Roger Marshall: "October 18 is when the protest gets here. This will be a Soros paid-for protest for his professional protesters. The agitators show up. We'll have to get the National Guard out. Hopefully it will be peaceful. I doubt it."

Not sure I am going to be able to stop myself from contributing to the bigotted conversation going on next to me.

There's a lot to ponder here.

Oh, and there's also the "Guess which one wants to legalise incest" game.

No, seriously, one of themlp does. Stop being so woke, will you?!

I'm teaching my students content and social media this week. I just want to make it clear that I think that this post is utter dog shit.

Whatever the dog couldn't process ended up in its poo, and as the wet stuff dried out in the sun, the hard calcium stuck around. This led to crumbly, mummified turds all over the place (and people didn't pick up back then).

So, I've done a bit of research and I now know why dog poo used to be white.

Back in the 70s & 80s, dog food contained a lot of meat and bone meal, both of which are high in calcium. The bone meal was cheap filler.

I don't think enough people consider the artistic qualities of white dog poo.

God yeah. It was everywhere. That and paedophiles. Just a shame we never thought of a way of creating some kind of game that involved throwing one at the other.

If you think Netanyahu is someone to be trusted, I have some magic beans you might be interested in.

Typical leftie Sadiq Khan making Londoners breathe woke fresh air. It literally doesn't make me sick.

Mayor of London, Sadiq Khan @london.gov.uk · 2d

Thanks to London’s bold action, almost 10 million people are now breathing cleaner air.

That means fewer children will grow up with stunted lungs and fewer people will have to suffer from asthma, dementia and heart disease.

London hits clean air milestone 184 years early - ULEZ makes 'big difference'

A professor has branded the success a 'truly remarkable turnaround for the city's air quality'

I want to be wrong but this feels like a massive trap is being set for the state of Palestine by two people who could not care less about the existence of Palestine or the people of Palestine.

Netanyahu's genocide cannot be ignored. He must face trial.

One of the police, slaps the guy's arm and goes "SHHHH!" and points towards his colleague on the phone, putting his finger to his lips.

He whispers 'désolé' and hands the food out in silence!

"Yes, I had couscous... vegetarian... Yes, lots of salad..."

At which point, a guy appears from behind the counter with two trays and says, very loudly (so it's over the TV), "OK, who is the double burger and chips, BBQ sauce..."

So, I'm not saying where I am but I've just been having dinner in a tiny back-street fast food place. Three tables. One empty, one me, one with three police. Football on the TV (looks like a dodgy stream!).

One of the police takes a call from his wife/gf/partner.

After considerable thought, I am tonight able to announce that, if elected with a majority, each and every voter and their kids will be given ONE MILLION pounds l, cash, in used notes. I will enact this policy within one month of taking office and payments will be made without further conditions.
