Ireland is pushing a motion to ban Israel from FIFA and UEFA. It has made JD Vance very mad. It's time to remove Israel from world sport, don't you agree?

CDU at 17.5%!!! AfD at 30.5%. Merz is truly the Trump of Germany. He’s destroyed his own party & by allowing the Nazis to become the largest party, he’s going to destroy the country. My loathing for him & his govt knows no bounds!!

One from the archives In 1984 Dunnes shop worker Mary Manning refused to handle South African goods & was backed by her shop steward, Karen Gearon. Both were suspended. 9 colleagues came out in support. The strike lasted 3yrs & forced the Irish govt to ban the import of all SA goods. All heroes

Literally Germany. All those stories of “someone I know who wasn’t served cos he was white, or their child is in a school with litter trays for kids who think they’re kittens, etc etc” People need to push back on this dangerous nonsense.

Shinjuku is IMPOSSIBLE! 😊

Unseen Japan@unseenjapan.com

Shinjuku and Shibuya are considered the two most complex stations in Tokyo - and that's the opinion of the locals who use them every day. Shinjuku's underground is so hard to navigate that some have labeled it the "Dungeon Station."

For two years it was considered libellous to suggest that Hind Rajab was killed by Israeli military. This admission is part of a long-reaching pattern: deny the incident, muddy the waters, and then, some time later, and only with sustained pressure, admit to it. www.theguardian.com/world/2026/a...

A long time ago, in a galaxy... well... very very close to you. Earth had a ring (probably). For about 40 million years in the Ordovician (466 MYA), any trilobites that looked skyward would have seen the faint shimmer of the Earth's ring. Let's look at the evidence for this conclusion.
