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

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.

Just saw a website that offered "Up to £41.88 of savings!" and did a PROPER double-take. The internet has poisoned me 😫

Yeah, it gave the impression of being the tip of some Keyser Soze level, unfuckwithable drugs empire and it was just about 5 guys in a drug lab who folded as soon as the FBI showed up.

I am still moving forward with setting up a group meant for watching films and supporting each other to create art.

If you're UK based and interested in working with creatives to support each other in making projects a reality, email [email protected].

The setup is kind of interesting, but never pays off enough and you're just left feeling like "Is that it?", also the pacing is shite. Eric Bana does ok as the burdened, traumatised father/brilliant investigator, but it's also *very* cliché in that respect.

Just finished Untamed, with Eric Bana.

Short version, don't bother. Some impressive scenery, but other than that a very dull plot poorly delivered, with a couple of "twists" that nobody asked for and really didn't land well.

During a military-style raid on a building in Chicago’s South Shore, one resident heard a knock on his door.   It wasn’t the feds — it was a mom and her 7-year-old daughter, pleading for help.

He let them hide in his unit for the next 3 days.

Because every single post-Thatcher govt has institutionalised and deepened the neoliberal economic model she pioneered - to the detriment of everyone but a handful of hedge fund managers and landowners. Any deviance from this is crucified by the fascist press barons she also helped inaugurate.

Even funnier (not haha funny, obvs) is any reference (like I've just seen) to Trump having brought this about.

Motherfucker, the man can't even string a sentence together, you really think he had anything meaningful to do with the negotiations?

It's kinda cute how some people and publications are talking about the ceasefire in Gaza like it's going to happen.

A fundamental aspect of deep Nazi lore is that as they were descended from a race of ice people and would therefore be able to withstand the cold of Russian winter.

A quick glance at history tells us how well this worked out for them.

Academic Anarchy🏴 - Antifa Founder @johnbrownbread.bsky.social · 8d

The nazis themselves were not some clever masterminds where everything they did went perfect. They were also comical idiots who did ridiculous things, like invading Russia in the winter.

They gained power because the opposition couldn’t understand that the fascists were not rational agents.
