While this is undoubtedly very funny and the Times has egg not only on its face but all over its head and shoulders, the phrase that leaps out here is ‘an interview…conducted through his Ring doorbell in Huntington Station, Long Island, from his current location in Florida’.

Ah, het verbreken van het staakt-het-vuren is geen gevaar voor het staakt-het-vuren. WTF.
De absurde gaslighting, de minachting van levens en intelligentie van het publiek, het cynisme om dit met droge ogen te beweren. Alle ogen op Gaza en op de ongekende propaganda

Tientallen doden door Israëlische aanvallen op Gaza, maar 'geen gevaar voor bestand'
Premier Netanyahu droeg het Israëlische leger gisteren op om zware aanvallen uit te voeren op Gaza. De VS houdt vertrouwen dat het akkoord standhoudt.

Het schijnt heel sneu te zijn voor de mensen die hun stad niet meer herkennen door alle 'buitenlanders', maar ik vind het zieliger voor mezelf dat ik mijn land niet meer herken door al het openlijke racisme dat daar vaak uit volgt.
Not one of Holland’s many parties raises this issue in their campaign programmes.
When the clocks are turned back one hour in Holland, someone also hits a switch marked “Medieval Winter” and acid rain comes belting down, while the Black Plague claims its first victims indoors, with wolves waiting to devour whoever dares to venture outdoors.
Useless Writing Tip No. 378 — At some point in your career, you’ll wonder whether your lack of success is due to external factors or whether you’re just not very good. Always bear in mind that you’re probably not very good at sex either, but you keep at it and expect neither adulation nor payment.

The richest man on earth owns X.

The second richest man on earth is about to acquire TikTok and his family could soon own both Paramount and Warner Bros.

The third richest man owns Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp.

The fourth richest man owns The Washington Post.

See the problem here?

De bezorgde burger = altijd wit, vaak man, racistisch, xenofoob en islamofoob. De bezorgde burger = nooit zwart, vrouw, moslim, gevlucht en terecht bezorgd om het racisme dat overal ruim baan krijgt. De bezorgde burger is al sinds Fortuyn een racistisch codewoord. En dat is verder geen nieuws.
