How lazy must the song writing be for the Eurovision people to think it's too political? You can absolutely hide political messages in the lyrics, in a song about love, sex partying, etc, and the vast majority of people will not notice. Quite a few bands have made careers out of doing exactly that. I mean just from the song title, you know that they are going to be very heavy handed with it.

In other unrelated news, the Titanic still floats according to BBC Verify. They have obtained this image as proof:

Researchers used samples from populations deemed by experts and campaigners to be vulnerable to exploitation, including Uyghurs and Tibetans

By this logic, said genetics journal should retract all papers which used samples from black people in the United States and Europe.

The audio of the second slam in the video is properly loud, but I agree with you about the rest though.

Holy crap that first slam is absolutely brutal. Broken neck probably.

Also how much steroids are these fighters on? Men and women don't look like that naturally. Drug testing in the UFC seems to somehow be even more of a joke than most other sports.

I mean under Biden the US bombed Nordstream and is attempting to vassalise the EU through the Ukraine war. I don't think the president matters that much, the US will continue to act in its own interests regardless of who the president is

Eagerly awaiting the EU to sanction all US aligned propagandists as well...

Oh wait that will never happen

Yeah I am pretty concerned. I think if work from home or hybrid jobs start requiring devices similar to the apple vision pro, it will only further the divide between people that work from home and those that don't, as well as increasing the barrier to entry to these jobs. Dividing the working class further.

Are you really trying to both sides this? Firstly the law in question uses the word "risk", not "certainty" so I'm sure the ICJ ruling that there's a plausible case of genocide against Israel fits that description.

Secondly, the Western nations that cut funding from the UNRWA did so as a form of protest after Israel lost in court and as a way to de-legitimise the case against Israel, as a lot of findings in the preliminary ruling of the ICJ use UN figures as a source. They are not cutting funding from the UNRWA because they believe in Israel's "dossier of evidence" with regards to UNRWA participation in October 7, no one believes that, they are cutting funding from the UNRWA to tarnish the reputation of the ICJ, the UN and to attempt to tarnish the evidence used in the case of genocide against Israel. Because if Israel is found guilty of genocide, these nations will be complicit in that genocide. So they are simultaneously trying to cover their arses and reduce the chances of that happening through cutting funding from the UNRWA, for the reasons mentioned above.

What gave it away?

I tried to make it really obvious at the end with the "visits to Epstein island" stuff.

Wouldn't Germany selling weapons be in direct violation of this

https://www.gesetze-im-internet.de/krwaffkontrg/__6.html

Admittedly I'm using Google translate and my very limited knowledge of German here, but wouldn't Germany continuing to sell weapons to Israel be in violation of points 2.1, 3.1 and 3.2?

2.1

Approval may be refused in particular if... There is reason to believe that granting it would run counter to the Federal Republic's interest in maintaining good relations with other countries.

3.1

Approval is to be refused if...There is a risk that the weapons of war will be used in an act that disturbs the peace, especially in a war of aggression.

3.1 This is really interesting because it uses the word risk and not confirmed. Thus even the preliminary ruling of the ICJ should be enough to constitute risk here.
