It is awful to wake up to posts like this, but much worse to have to try to survive under a genocide that's maiming and killing children like Nour, please help if you can:

This website would genuinely be so much better if there was a special Discover tab for Americans that only show them posts by other Americans so the rest of us stop getting aggro from their most brain fried centrists who seem genuinely bewildered by context and angry that other places exist

“Interstellar object” refers specifically to rocky/icy bodies like asteroids and comets from outside the solar system, so not really

Israeli's kidnapped: cutting off the water supply for a whole population seems reasonable

Keir Starmer’s spokesman asked about Israel detaining British citizens who were on the Gaza aid flotilla, while in international waters, replies that it is a “matter for the Israeli Government”

many benefits are household claims. imagine you're british and your spouse has ILR, and you're told that you're being denied benefits because your spouse is from "other parts of the world and they can leave". imagine if you lose your job and your spouse can't claim jobseekers, so you end up homeless

The Tory Party has gone mad..

He insisted the Conservatives had a plan to cut spending, including £8bn of annual savings from reducing the civil service, £6.9bn from cutting the aid budget and £23bn from slashing the welfare bill.

Stride told the BBC that to save money, only UK citizens would have access to the welfare system and that people with "low-level" mental health problems would also lose access to benefits.

Asked what would happen to people living legally in Britain who are not UK citizens if they fall into hardship, he said: "They've come from other parts of the world and they would have the option to return."

The Conservatives failed to back the Labour government's proposed £5bn of welfare savings this year. Stride claimed that the Labour plans were rushed and "not considered and principled".

As explained in the article, people are looking, but it takes a bit of time. In the interim it's an exciting thing, and an exciting object, from a different part of the freaking galaxy!

There are plenty of things to be concerned with, but we don't have to stop being interested in the universe.

Interstellar Object 3I/ATLAS May Have Been Caught In Perseverance Rover Photo

People think they've found Martian images of interstellar object 3I/ATLAS on NASA's website. They might be right.

Starmer on Kuenssberg was defending that old story about buying a field for his mum so she could see her rescue donkeys and I've never mocked that coz it's a nothingburger and I like donkeys too.

But he said "WE'RE TALKING ABOUT 20 GRAND HERE HA HA" like that's nothing. WHAT a terrible look m8.

Keir Starmer comments about Reform are no more sincere than Wes Streeting saying trans people should be treated with 'respect and dignity'.

They are words meant for Labour supporters who don't really care about either 'issue' but want some nice things to point to.

Their actions tell you everything

You can't joke about anything anymore. Because you signed a multi figure contract with the Saudi government that said they wouldn't pay you if you did.
