Being a long suffering @stkildafc supporter, I am allowed say this: The cultural parallels with @SpursOfficial are frightening. This is absolute gold from @paddypower
Vale the great Dolly Parton. Philanthropist, entertainer, all round wonderful person. RIP.
An amazing video of Dolly Parton singing one of her most famous songs in Páidí Ó Sé’s pub in Ventry Co. Kerry 🇮🇪 in 1990
How did Páidí pull that coup off

Is holocaust survivor Stephen Kapos antisemitic Jillian Segal?
Demonstrates the utter absurdity of the antisemitism ploy Zionists use to deny for Israel’s responsibility for its endless atrocities.
Only political and corporate media hacks take it seriously.
"What's happening in Gaza is a Holocaust and what's being designed by the Israel government is the final solution to the Palestinian problem. As a Holocaust survivor my reaction is not in my name."

Free speech is on life support in this country. And I am well aware that the vast majority could not care less. So don’t complain when the repercussions bite you.
The way in which Isreal is happy to murder, yes murder, non-combatants set a new low bar for savagery post WW2. Legal definition of murder: Doing an act with reckless indifference to human life that kills someone without lawful excuse. And FYI: there is no lawful excuse here.
The way this ongoing conduct is studiously ignored by the west actually distresses me. What that says about our collective standards is also studiously ignored. Jesus wept.

Can anyone explain to me why Israel and only Israel is able to order people from another country to evacuate their home? Anyone?
Israel has issued an evacuation order for Tyre, Lebanon, displacing 200,000 more people. Tyre is an ancient Phoenician city with Roman ruins and a hippodrome.

The US did not become a superpower through endless wars and selling out to billionaires. That is what is facilitating the decline of the US, but if you look at the historical rise of the United States as a global superpower it demonstrates that it became a superpower through massive financial investment abroad and the building of alliances.
Domestically, it supported the development of labor unions, social safety nets, and regulatory programs that taxed corporations and the wealthy at substantial rates. When Kennedy said “ask not what your country can do” this is precisely what he was talking about.
The endless wars and rise of oligarchy was/is the undoing of the United States, it is the undoing of a superpower that was originally built on the idea of New Deal Liberalism.

A truck loaded with thousands of copies of Roget's Thesaurus spilled its load leaving New York.
Witnesses were stunned, startled, aghast, stupefied, confused, shocked, rattled, paralyzed, dazed, bewildered, surprised, dumbfounded, flabbergasted, confounded, astonished, and numbed.

Its always been strange to me how much of the Australian international student industry has been built on a delusion.
The idea that a Diploma of Hospitality from the Bonnie Doon Institute of TAFE is somehow worth tens of thousands of dollars to people from the developing world and that somehow this is going to be this huge boost for their careers when they get back home.
It's really not that special and the fact that policymakers collectively persist in the idea that it is, is really something.
