Yeah that’s the lad. The history of Rome is incredible. I only fell into Revolutions because I needed something to fill the gap after history of Rome and his style is very easy listening.

I’m being a bit more picky with the sections I listen to in revolutions but really enjoying it so far.

It’s on Spotify etc if you have that.

Well I learned a lot so thanks. Particularly surprised at the levels that anarchism reached there. I’m listening to the 'revolutions" podcast at the moment (highly recommended) and just coming into the Russian revolutions so I can see the seeds of it.

Have you read the book you linked? Any good?

Cheers. I’ll give them a read this evening.

And yeah great bunch of lads the Spanish. Absolutely sound in general.

If Zionists had any real leverage they could use to control states Spain and Ireland (and to a lesser extent France under Macron) wouldn’t be outspoken advocates for Palestinian rights

I’m not sure what has given Spain their perspective but at least in Ireland there is no amount of propaganda you could throw at us to change public perception here, largely on a moral ground, but we also have that sweet, sweet history of oppression. We were all horrified on October 6th but there’s no justification for the current genocide.

Really fucking tired of antisemitism bring bandied about as the reason for our support too. Children are being shot in the street, losing limbs and being starved as a weapon of war FFS. Antisemitism is a real and nasty thing and the word is being cheapened by the hour.

Very happy to have a larger country along for the ride with us. History is on our side. 🇪🇸🤝🇮🇪

Thank you. I am so, so proud. He has turned out a beautiful man. One of my best friends is in a wheelchair and hung out with us a lot when he was growing up so he saw the things he struggled with and really embraced accessibility in college (he did product design).

Here’s a funny text conversation we had earlier.

*yoink*

My son has been working on this for his company’s websites for the last while. He had worked on a lot of design for accessibility while in college so was happy to take on responsibility for it.

A lot of it is e.g. proper keyboard navigation and making sure it’s set up well for screen readers, colourblind folks etc.

That could be the one I was thinking of. I thought there were rumblings recently about passing it. It’s a fairly vague memory though so I definitely could be wrong.

Edit: just read through all of that page. Good God. Can they just get their fingers out.

I can’t remember what the backup plan here was, but we have one. I think it’s to force a court case in the European court of human rights by banning imports from occupied territories.

Glad at least that we could out countries who are propping up this genocide. It ain’t much, but it’s honest politics.

Yeah this is purely a hardcore isolationist ranting.

Evolution in action. Still sad.

Would Western Europe and the US come to the aid of those smaller NATO allies and engage in a potentially grinding war to throw Russian back?

I believe deeply that Europe would. The strategic consequences of not doing so are too clear. Plus, we all really like the Baltics.

You may mark this for future wine or milk.

“Staunch Ukraine supporter” me bollix. Glad this didn’t get watered down.

Your comment caused me to scroll back up to try to force the white and gold (love the spinning dancer) but as soon as I got there the dress was already white and gold despite the black and blue I had initially seen.

Wild.

Black males the highest yes percentage. I wonder what causes that? Not sure why but my gut would have put them at a lower desire for war with Iran than white males.

Is Judaism popular in black communities?

I have to say, massive props to the Grad for those amazing cook off videos. 🫡

It’s also done on no kings day so we all know what the headline will be. Doesn’t seem like a coincidence on reflection.

Is he a cop then? The cop car part is confusing otherwise. Uniform etc. not so much.

Edit: I see elsewhere that the car was disguised too

If signalgate didn’t bring down Hegseth, there is no chance of ice Barbie going from this.

Oh you’re in for a treat. Quality movie.
