Another hanging, hello world can you see this??
On Sunday, when his family went to see him one last time, at the end of the visit he refused to let go of them. Guards had to forcibly tear him away from his father and mother.
His nam is Alireza Raeisi, born in 2004, had barely turned 22 years old.
That night was the last time his parents ever touched their son. On Monday at dawn, the regime hanged him in Dastgerd Prison, Isfahan
His crime? protesting on January 2026 uprising, executed for demanding freedom.

The only thing traumatic about the 80s was the school Ryan Reynolds burnt down in Canada. 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

So many evil people in this world and we had to lose a pure heart like Dolly Parton. Devastating day for humanity.

This is why nobody dances anymore. Because if you do you get posted on the internet and called a loser for trying to have fun

A huge number of LGB people are unhappy being forced under the alphabet umbrella.
We surveyed lesbian, gay and bisexual people. 94% felt uncomfortable being categorised under the LGBTQ+ umbrella. 87% felt uncomfortable being categorised as 'queer'. Here's what they said - and what we're doing about it.
"As a lesbian I feel marginalised and like I don't belong in a community that used to be very important to me. I feel ostracised and isolated." "It feels like they jumped on our coattails but somehow managed to grab the steering wheel." These are verbatim responses from LGB people in our survey.
LGB stands for lesbian, gay and bisexual - people who are same-sex attracted. TQ+ covers gender identity, which is a distinct thing. Organisations that attempt to serve both often end up serving neither well - and in practice, tend to prioritise TQ+ constituents at the expense of LGB people.
In 2021, the government abandoned the aggregate term BAME following the Inclusive Britain report, which found it failed to reflect the differing needs of those it covered. LGB Alliance is calling for the same approach to LGBTQ+.
Don't Call Me Queer is LGB Alliance's campaign for same-sex attracted people to have specific representation that actually serves their needs. Read our report and take action: lgballiance.org.uk/dont-call…

Digital games should come with real consumer protection. If a store can remove access, players deserve a full refund. No excuses.
Digital ownership needs real rights.

Is this normal ?!!!

White British students are a minority in almost one in five universities, analysis by The Telegraph has found.
Institutions are coming under pressure to end “racially discriminatory programmes” that exclude white working-class students, who are one of the most under-represented groups in higher education.

👁️Police use of facial recognition has led to catastrophic errors including:
🔹A roofer who was dragged to court after a facial recognition blunder
🔹An innocent man who was wrongly arrested & detained for 10 hours after this Orwellian tech falsely accused him of being a criminal
In both cases, officers trusted a computer over 'human eyes'.
There's no place for this tech in British policing.

This is ultimately the end goal of mega cooperations: you, the customer, no longer own anything, only they, the company, have a say on what you can consume or not consume. Prior to this announcement, Sony removed over 500 movies even though the users “purchased” them. There are also cases where players pay for a digital game yet companies remove them. These type of practices are ultimately anti customer.

"Gay" and "queer" are increasingly used interchangeably in progressive discourse. But the two words don't mean the same thing. And in that difference lies a danger for our hard-fought equality.

After years of being banned from entering a stadium in my own country, for no crime other than being a woman, this is how I walked in.
This was the World Cup FIFA 2026 between England and Panama but for me, it was beyond that.
You have to be a woman from Iran or Afghanistan to truly understand this emotion.
For whom this simple act, walking into a stadium, moving with joy, showing my hair, sitting next to men, was not just forbidden. I was beaten for it. Imprisoned for it. Humiliated for it. Exiled for it. And even in exile, I became a target for multiple assassination plots.
And now people lecture me: "Don't politicize football."
I have a question: which part of my body hasn't already been politicized by the Islamic Republic? My hair? My voice? My seat in a stadium?
They turned our entire existence into a political battlefield. Every inch of a woman was a crime scene under their law.
And now I'm supposed to just sit back, eat a hot dog, and enjoy the game?
I did enjoy the game. England won. But walking through those gates, that was the real victory.
