I got rid of – just one I got rid of the other night, you buy a house, they have a faucet in the house, Joe, and the faucet the water doesn’t come out. They have a restrictor. You can’t – in areas where you have so much water they don’t know what to do with it. Uh, you have a shower head the shower doesn’t uh, the shower doesn’t, you think it’s not working. It is working. The water’s dripping out and that’s no good for me. I like this hair lace and [sic] – I like that hair nice and wet. Takes you – you have to stand in the shower for 20 minutes before you get the soap out of your hair. And I put a, a thing – and it sounds funny but it’s really not. It’s horrible. And uh, when you wash your hands, you turn on the faucet, no water comes out. You’re washing whole – water barely comes out it’s ridi – this was done by crazy people. And I wor – wrote it all off and got it approved in Congress so that they can’t just change it.
@Birne Helene ich hab während des us-wahlkampes versucht, mir eine seiner veranstaltungen auf youtube anzusehen. das ging nicht. es war unmöglich. so viel inkohärentes, unzusammenhängendes geschwafel. das war nicht zu ertragen. kein wunder, dass die simultan-dolmetscher alle ausrasten, wenn sie aus trumps gefasel kohärenten text machen sollen. das ist wie wasser zu wein machen ...

A boy from our town has been accepted into a high school exchange program from Germany to the #US by the German organization #SwitchYou. But they struggle with a shortage of hosting families. Fediverse, do your thing: Could you imagine hosting a 16 year-old German student for a school year (or even just a semester)? Please reply, so I can forward you the contact data. Thank you also for boosting.
@Flominator@genealysis.social Man absolutely not. That is the absolutely LAST THING I would suggest for a German High School student today. In today's America. With today's ICE and today's Government? Holy fucking shit. No fucking way. The US is not a safe country for any foreign national today, let alone a MINOR. Don't they have exchange programs in Australia? New Zealand? The UK? ANY one of them would be far safer than the US right now. ---

Cotingas are a fascinating and diverse group of birds belonging to the family Cotingidae, primarily found in Central and South America, especially in tropical rainforests. They're known for their vibrant plumage, unique vocalizations, and in some species, striking courtship behaviors.
No interest in golfing or tweeting, but I manage a lot of farting.
Why does anyone golf? Strangest thing any human ever did. And you know what's even stranger? The Scots invented it. In my experience the Scots are some of the most sensible people on earth.
On the other hand, haggis, bagpipes, and caber tossing. Yeah. Forget I brought it up.
Why #news stories about #PalestineAction have all but dried up lately... Palestine Action, a direct-action pro-Palestinian group in the UK, has been at the center of a dramatic escalation in government crackdowns and legal controversy throughout July and early August 2025.
### Key developments:
- Proscription and Arrests: In early July 2025, the UK government officially proscribed Palestine Action as a terrorist organization under the Terrorism Act 2000, following a high-profile incident where members broke into an RAF base and damaged military aircraft [1][2]. This made any support for, or membership of, Palestine Action a serious criminal offense—punishable by up to 14 years in prison. Since the ban, police have arrested over 200 people, including elderly activists, at protests nationwide for holding placards or expressing support [3][4][5][6].
- Protests and Police Response: Demonstrations opposing the ban occurred in cities including London, Manchester, Bristol, Truro, and Edinburgh. These were met with heavy police presence and mass arrests under terrorism laws, many involving pensioners and older demonstrators [7][5][3][8].
- Media and Chilling Effect: News coverage of these arrests and the ongoing situation has grown sparse, likely due to legal risks for journalists and outlets. The law criminalizes not just membership but also public expressions of support, raising fears about inadvertently violating terrorism laws [1].
- Legal Challenge: Despite the crackdown, on July 30, 2025, Palestine Action’s co-founder, Huda Ammori, won a High Court ruling granting her the right to challenge the government’s ban via judicial review. The judge said the ban could represent a disproportionate restriction on freedom of expression and association, and suggested the government may have failed to properly consult the group before outlawing it [9][2][10][11]. The High Court will review the ban’s legality in September.
- International and Domestic Criticism: The ban has drawn condemnation from human rights groups, civil liberties organizations, and UN officials, who warn it sets a “disturbing” precedent for protest rights in the UK and represents an unprecedented use of counterterrorism laws against a protest group that targets property, not people [1][6][12].
### Why news coverage has dried up: With the group now listed alongside terror organizations, and the law criminalizing not just activism but also public support, media coverage is constrained by concerns about “recklessly encouraging” support—risking prosecution [1]. This legal climate has produced a chilling effect on coverage and public discussion.
### Next Steps: The judicial review in September may decide whether the government’s proscription stands or is overturned. Until then, prosecutions, police crackdowns, and restrictions on supportive speech continue. Public debate and protest remain highly restricted and fraught with legal risk for participants and reporters alike [9][2][10].

Nick Fuentes can make endless videos with snapshots of this or that to try to show you that Tucker is a CIA agent (you live in an oligarchy, all your big media is some Oligarchic play) and that somehow means good guy/bad guy or something.
That's extremely retarded.
In the spirit and season of retards, here's a clip proving Nick Fuentes is a gay retard.

Au moment où des milliers d’êtres humains sont sciemment affamés – jusqu’à la mort – par l’armée israélienne, au moment où des mères de famille palestiniennes sont exterminées par des snipers en tentant désespérément de récupérer un peu de farine, au moment où les derniers journalistes de Gaza vont disparaître –, car porter un gilet avec la mention Press dans l’enclave équivaut aujourd’hui à un suicide –, au moment où les soignants s’évanouissent d’inanition dans ce qui reste des hôpitaux, au moment où l’on parle ouvertement de déporter les survivants du carnage dans des camps, le grand souci de la #Cicad et ses soutiens semblent être de nier l’effroyable crime contre l’humanité qui se déroule sous nos yeux et d’accuser d’ #antisémitisme ceux et celles qui le dénoncent!

En lisant certains commentaires de cette lettre, je suis stupéfait qu'il y ait des gens qui s'étonnent que depuis le 7 octobre 23 les actes "antisémites" ont augmentés......mais dans quelle réalité parallèle vivent ces petits bourges suisses ?? Un pays aurait le droit de massacrer et procéder à un nettoyage ethnique d'autochtone sans que cela ne déclenche rien envers ceux qui le font ?? EX:
C’est justement cela, l’amalgame. Et vous ne pourrez pas le nier : depuis le 7 octobre, les actes antisémites ont augmenté de façon alarmante, en Suisse comme ailleurs. Ce lien statistique, documenté, montre qu’une partie de l’opinion projette sur les Juifs, ici, la colère suscitée par un conflit lointain. C’est grave.

of course they know. it’s got to be an open secret that the Emperor has no brain."
‘Self-termination is most likely’: the history and future of societal collapse
An epic analysis of 5,000 years of #civilisation argues that a global collapse is coming unless #inequality is vanquished. Dr. Kemp’s new book covers the rise and collapse of more than 400 societies over 5,000 years
Today’s global civilisation, however, is deeply interconnected and unequal and could lead to the worst societal collapse yet, he says. The threat is from leaders who are “walking versions of the dark triad” – #narcissism, #psychopathy and #Machiavellianism – in a world menaced by the #ClimateCrisis, #nuclear weapons, artificial intelligence and killer #robots.
