we like to make fun of russian disinfo as obvious & ineffective but the khelif thing is a clear example of success - started by a corrupt russian IBO official (Kremlev) whose org was bankrolled by a russian corp (Gazprom) & who started the rumor after Khelif beat a russian boxer

It’s so funny how the qualifier “English” is obviously seen as essential in all these kinds of tweets but not “men’s”
Manchester City are the first team EVER to win four successive English top-flight titles. @alitweedale looks at how Pep Guardiola has developed his team over the last four years, and how their style has adapted since Erling Haaland arrived. theanalyst.com/eu/2024/05/ma…

🧵👇🏼are we here once more!
Section 28 didn’t come out of nowhere. It came from a society where 75% thought homosexuality was wrong. From a society that feared the sight of a man in drag would corrupt. From a society that believed ignorance was better for children than any knowledge of gay lives. 🧵 1/16

I love Chelsea. I hate homophobic abuse. Please call out your friends and RT this to get it to the wider Chelsea family. I’m fed up of hearing these chants or others at Chelsea games. Be better.

Fuckin ghouls, how are you supposed to plan a day out on a budget; if you have school age kids, the kids you;d be taking to these attractions, the chances are you're going to be forced to go at these times. The zero hours, gig economy, Uber model has ruined everything.
BUSINESS: Merlin Entertainments, which owns Legoland, Sea Life and Madame Tussauds, is planning to introduce surge pricing where visitors are charged more during peak periods, with the change applying to its top global attractions by the end of 2024.

this is where your money is going btw if you're still buying HP merch, seeing that play, going on the studio tour, buying that stupid game
JK Rowling casually dropping her loose change on a crowdfund to change the definition of sex in the Equality Act, which would strip trans people of their legal protections & cause untold suffering. Rowling’s transphobia is blisteringly clear.

**THREAD** from on the ground in Gaza. RT’ing is cosmically incommensurate. But this is a monumental catastrophe that is on a trendline to genocide. It is horrifying and won’t even work on its own terms. Mass murder of civilians is begetting even more mass murder.
The Gaza Strip is experiencing an unprecedented humanitarian catastrophe since 1967. 2,300 lost their lives. This is what arrived at the hospitals. There are hundreds of people who were buried under the rubble and no one could reach them.

re the last rt: in six years the position of the incumbent Tory PM has gone from support for self-certification to 'trans people aren't real', and that's down to the hard work of a lot of people. congrats team. you did it. you made the country worse

OH MY GOD THIS MFER IS THE AVOCADO TOAST GUY
“We need to see pain in the economy. Unemployment needs to jump 40-50%. Employees think employers should be thankful for them, we need to kill that.” I’ll be real, I wish more CEOs talked this way. Labor would be far stronger and their lives far worse.

How to resign like a Martyr to Feminism: 3 weeks of temper-tantrums, two hours of self pity on Piers Morgan, invoke your daughters (classic), claim "the streets" are with you, and of course, don't ever apologise to Jenni Hermoso and the team. theguardian.com/football/202…

the way British liberalism utterly broke before a campaign of pure bigotry has been so distressing and offers an immediate reminder of the necessity to continually defend liberal values in liberal spaces and how easily lost they can be
🚨 NEW: Labour has officially abandoned its commitment to trans rights Shadow Equalities Secretary Anneliese Dodds confirms Labour has fully dropped its backing for self-ID for trans people, saying that Labour will protect "single-sex spaces" for "biological women".

I have no issues with the aid we have sent to Ukraine. But this is disingenuous because if there’s money for a war we are not belligerents in, there’s money to scrap this de-facto two child policy placed on the poor.
'There just, frankly, is no money left' Shadow culture secretary Lucy Powell says the Labour Party can't make promises it 'can't afford to keep' as she defends Keir Starmer's plan to keep the two-child benefit cap in place

Lily will forever walk the alleyways of our hearts. She was a British institution and cultural icon. As drag faces backlash, fuelled by click bait and a homophobic fringe, let us take some comfort today from these wise words: "If I wanted your opinion, I'd slap it outta ya."
