Didn't wish him dead. But if I did, it wouldn't be for his beliefs, it'd be because he's a cunt.

Sending Tony Blair to administer a peace plan in Gaza is like having Jeffrey Epstein run an all-girl's boarding school.

The Gaza ceasefire is obviously good news and a relief but three things need to happen: Palestinians need to be key partners in the process, it needs to end in statehood and the rest of the world needs to hold Israel accountable for their genocide.

If you need another reason to see One Battle After Another, it's that it'll have the worst people on the Internet pissing blood because a film that's woke garbage* is making money.

*It's not, but they have the media literacy of those moths that bash their heads into the bright light of a TV screen.
