Israel accepts health authorities’ Gaza death toll is broadly accurate, saying 70,000 have died
Israeli military’s abrupt U-turn in accepting official figures comes after years of attacking data as ‘Hamas propaganda’

The people who spent years defending and even lionizing Kyle Rittenhouse and Ashli Babbitt now want us to believe that an unarmed mother in her car and a disarmed nurse were domestic terrorists who deserved to be murdered by law enforcement.

Little bit wary of centrists who post lots of "AHA! SEE! Farage wants to privatise the NHS!" gotchas coz we already have a government right now that's doing a bit of the ol' that and they should probably pipe up about it if they feel so strongly about the NHS.

Every day for as long as I can recall, it has been a great Nordstream pipeline industrially blasting raw sewage into homes and workplaces across the land
This isn't satire. This is a real headline published in the UK.

The WI has been trans inclusive since the 70s, before I was born. Do you see who in this scenario was innocently minding their own business, coming to their own arrangements locally? Do you see who is forcefully imposing themselves and their demands upon others, via threats.

A controversial opinion in the UK: having a standard emails job then sitting in a house you bought for a song and watching it rise exponentially in value due to political choices that have nothing to do with you is not it fact “working very hard to get what you have”

Important to understand that this is both 1) true and 2) the same thing as directly accusing most MPs and politics journalists of being actively complicit in genocide, the crime that made the Nazis the most detested people in history. Also, 2) is absolutely correct, they are.

One of the big issues of our time is seeing 'young people cant afford homes' and 'homeowners cant afford to be taxed more' as two separate problems, rather than the inevitable consequence of an economy built around inflated house prices to placate landlords
Some sympathy for this potentially made up woman but I wonder how the poster feels about the numerous people who would love to be able to call a house their own and form relationships with their neighbours but can't because of the housing market. Does their emotional plea count for anything?
Mumsnet is already on the case.

The Sun hasn’t made a profit for years. Is Rupert running it at a loss because it breaks his heart to think of all those guys not getting football coverage that they could get elsewhere? Or is there a more bleak reason.

I get a surprisingly large number of responses saying “This is because the public are stupid” but for real, if that was the key issue, then it wouldn’t be necessary to constantly shitehouse people with the most misleading and inflammatory messages they can get away with. There would be no need.
It is IMO not possible to operate any kind of meaningful democracy when your national press is a joke and a travesty, but your mileage on that may vary. I think it’s incontestable that it is impossible to govern well and effectively, while being in hock to these pantomime clowns.

The way disabled people have been vilified over PIP, as if they were trying to play the system, was disgusting & shameful
Hacks & commentators that engaged in the grotesque demonisation of disabled people should be ashamed.

I don’t particularly care to debate the merits of the British vs continental justice systems when the obvious core issue here is that these people cannot be trusted with anything, and they have repeatedly demonstrated how thoroughly untrustworthy they are.

yes I don't really see how you can go "oh yikes these people have changed their political views incredibly quickly, mostly because of what Very Online people talk about on social media" and also think that people who went from never talking about gender to calling trans women predators are....normal
I don’t like subtweeting people I consider online friends, but there is a subset of people who are very worried about the ongoing radicalisation of our political elite but won’t ever acknowledge the echoes with the radicalisation of their colleagues on trans rights
And few who are sympathetic to us, some who are friendly with me on here, will ever stick their head above the parapet

This one really is useful because you won’t see a more clear demonstration of one of the most damaging political phenomena of the era: the reactionary professional mind rejecting unacceptable reality, only able to process and comprehend it via something close to conspiracy theory.
Former Obama speechwriter Sarah Hurwitz says Jewish students shouldn’t have smartphones until they finish high school — so they don’t see the “carnage” Israel and the U.S. have carried out in Gaza.
