This is a story about how a reported antisemitism row involving comedian @reginalddhunter unfolded. If you've only read mainstream media you'll have a partial view. The story unravelled on social media and we now have much-needed context. It began with this in The Telegraph

We’re not doing this again Piers! 😆 I already schooled you on this last Olympics!
Losing isn’t greatness, especially if you were favourite to win. It’s losing.

not to be melodramatic but this is actually civil society resistance and solidarity. like fuck the mods the reddit fishtank community wants to help this lebanese guy protect his aquarium from the israeli air force.
They deleted this post on the r/aquariums forum and now the subreddit is revolting against the mods

She came from nothing and not only had to fight to get to the Olympics, not only fight her opponents, but also an absolutely disgusting segment of society trying to destroy her life under the guise of pretending to care about women’s safety. An iconic performance, what a legend

Birmingham's Craven Arms pub has been listed as Grade II. Cheers! 🍻 Designed between 1906 and 1910, with its striking tiled exterior, it has been recognised as a building of exceptional national interest.
