Aren't the British judiciary very good to Tommy Ten Names that they would delay the verdict on his latest trial. So he could be a guest in Israel from tomorrow (16th Oct) until the 25th Oct. His legal fees were paid by Musk also.

Who's funding his trip?!

Hey look, Israel broke the cease-fire, twice, in two different ways, within 24 hours - again.

Mondoweiss @mondoweiss.net · 1d

NEW: Israel informed the UN it will permit only 300 aid trucks into Gaza daily, not the 600 mandated by the ceasefire it just signed.

A kickstarter that solves the problem of not having pints of lager in your raincoat pockets. ✅

Maybe it was always like that, but I only noticed once lockdown ended. I feel like I had to be more careful at pedestrian crossings

Why the hell are we normalising “ray ban” spy glasses? It’s fucking creepy.
I don’t care if they’re from a brand name, I don’t want you to be secretly recording me for whatever purpose.

Someone in the cafe was wearing them the other day and now I see them all over social media.

Also crazy driving... Since covid people drive like maniacs. Every single week I see a dublin bus go through a red light. Saw it happen twice today.
