Polanski responds to Guardian's 'zealously pro-Palestine' jibe
Zack Polanski has suggested 'anti-genocide' might be better phrasing than the Guardian's 'zealously pro-Palestine' - what do you think?

UK's Zack Polanski understands the most basic rule of messaging: if you want to touch a nerve, you have to touch a nerve. Of course they're coming after him and of course his Green Party is rising in polls and members.

As a politician, I expect opposition and debate. But when it centres on personal insults, not policies, something else is going on, says the leader of the Green party, Zack Polanski

I dedicate this video I made to anyone struggling with mental health issues. You're never alone. You're always loved. You're always needed. "chatter in the skull" is our worst enemy. A great book is The Power of Now by Eckhart Tolle - not a cure, but a help ❤️

🫣 "Second screen viewing" 🤮
So this is why plot-splaining has become a thing?
I really am sick of unnecessary monologues, they're ruining so many good shows.
It's the exact opposite of "show, don't tell". If you need a detailed monologue to develop the plot, chances are it's rubbish TV.

Hasan: The great irony is of course that Donald Trump is the son of an immigrant. The grandson of an immigrant and married to an immigrant. In fact two of his three wives were immigrants, proving yet again that immigrants will do the jobs that even Americans are not willing to do.
