This is how Spanish TV announced the boycott of Eurovision

If Russia is banned for what they're doing to Ukraine, surely Israel should be banned for what they're doing in Palestine?

When is the UK going to boycott Eurovision?

‘This is pathetic:’
Fans react as Trump receives
first ever FIFA Peace Prize.
“FIFA is so corrupted man,
they actually made a ‘peace’ award for Trump
because he got upset about
not getting the Nobel peace prize...
What are we even doing here?”

After much consideration, I've decided that the problem with Liz Truss's new YouTube venture is Liz Truss.

She's got the charisma of a bin liner and speaks like a droning spin dryer on a quiet cycle.

The drawn-out ceremony at Washington’s Kennedy Center

Mockler: It's honestly humiliating that other countries are treating our president like a child, like a baby. It's like if I created a peace prize and I gave it to myself. I'm like, I'm just going to keep this medal on all night. Our president is an actual child

Leave it to Trump to fuck up the World Cup Draw.

He turned a 15-20 minute event into a 3-hour disaster.

Poor production, audio dropping out, lighting terrible.

Even Kevin Hart was invisible on the screen.
