"To the antisemitic Greta and her fellow Hamas propaganda spokespeople, I say clearly: You should turn back—because you will not reach Gaza," Katz said, referring to Swedish climate activist Greta Thunberg, one of the 12 people on board. "Israel will act against any attempt to break the blockade or assist terrorist organizations—at sea, in the air, and on land."

I really don't like the post-truth world :(.

Last paragraph basically says it all:

This is not to congratulate China for its authoritarian government, for its repression of minorities or for the iron fist it deploys against any form of dissent. But it merits pondering how this undemocratic government could successfully slash its poverty rate when the richest and oldest democracy in the world wouldn’t.

::: spoiler Tap for spoiler Norway has a functioning judicial system and the people in power are upheld to the same standards as everybody else, fucking obvious to literally everyone. :::

He controls the media in Hungary, but foreign media showed Trump, Putin and Netanyahu supporting him and suddenly everybody realised he sucks and shouldn't be trusted.

Truthful answer? No not at all, but if you call it what it really is people won't vote for you.

Damn, a rat that size might as well pay rent.

Dutchie here, before Mark Rutte was SG of NATO he was our PM for over a decade where he earned the nickname Teflon Mark: no scandal sticks, no political storm makes him wet. Why? Because he can say anything in a way that makes you believe he is telling the truth. Before you know it this man has no active memory of any meeting that was about not-joining and suddenly 'remember' a meeting about joining. If you do not want your country participating in this war, do not sit back and relax because this guy says it won't happen. He is not all bad, but i'd advise anyone (except Trump) to not take what he says too serious.

Wait is this an actual post by an actual gov agency?

Edit, also just noticed how last year was positive yet they still coloured it red lol

You get an upvote for the x-ray, but the reply goes over my head tbh

Here's an idea: make raising children affordable.

I call fake, many images have shown the world is not a perfect circle but more of a rectangle, example:

Reports of unidentified men arriving at the beach by boat to install signs prompted the response from Mexico’s Naval Ministry (Semar). 

The signs reportedly stated in Spanish and English that the area was Department of Defense property and a “Restricted Area” by order of “the commander.” They also said that “unauthorized entry is prohibited,” as are photography or drawings, and stated, “If you are found here, you may be detained and searched.” 

Sheinbaum said her government was communicating with U.S. authorities in order to get an explanation.

“First, the consulate was consulted, then the embassy,” she said. “They hadn’t issued an official report, so the signs were removed. Later, a U.S. government agency stated that a company had indeed been hired to put them up.” 

The Pentagon said in a statement that contractors would work with “appropriate agencies to avoid confusion in the future.”

The US is run by amateurs.

“Here, taking care of one another through public programs isn’t radical socialism. It’s Tuesday.”

Suing only works in countries with rule of law unfortunately

TIL the first chicken egg wasn't laid by a chicken

My country, the Netherlands is already boycotting Eurovision, i'm not used to not having to congratulate our government for being on the right side of history. Personally, i expect Israel to buy a shitload of votes again and this time win the contest, then they get to organise the whole thing and will call the countries not coming to their party antisemitic haters. Might register at polymarket to bet on that outcome. If Israel wins this year, i hope the boycotting countries will start an alternative ESC and persuade the not boycotting countries to join them instead of going to Israel.

Edit: typo

When there are road works they tend to close the high way or at least some lanes because a hi vis jacket doesn't protect you against speeding lunatics.

Even if we had it, imagine how small your life is if you actually believe we are born to do a biological job.

The Swiss government made them change it. No production in Switzerland means no profiting off Swiss icons.
