Urgent: The Freedom Flotilla ship is expected to reach Gaza within the next 48 hours to break the blockade. The coming hours are very critical — we must focus on them and amplify their voices. If you see this, reply with a dot . spread it 🥹❤️

Hilarious series of tweets. Women say ‘we’re fine being single forever’: respondents say ‘you’ll change your mind when you get old and lonely’. News flash: we don’t and won’t. They just don’t seem to get that single freedom & autonomy is much better than a mediocre relationship
In about five years we are actually going to see what really happens when women in mass decide to become spinsters. They really don’t understand what middle age means to a girl. The world is going to treat much much different. Yes unsuccessful middle aged men are losers as well but there is no harsh transition. It’s simply more of the same.

Your daily reminder that halal refers to how the animal was killed for eating and has nothing to do with taste. But the people in the comments are having a good time thinking it’s some sort of gotcha.
A halal butcher in Zurich, Switzerland has sold 3.1 tons of pork labeled as veal to Muslim customers, who haven’t noticed any difference for three years.

I love the Voyagers
Imagine starting a car that hadn't run in 21 years, that's 15 billion miles away in interstellar space. That's what the @NASA team just did with @NASAVoyager's thrusters. People are amazing. jpl.nasa.gov/news/nasas-voya…

This. And yet there are some including Murdoch media convinced they didn’t go far enough right. Apparently insanity is doing the same thing and expecting a different result. They can’t cope with evidence that Australians are generally centrist & moderate voters. Not RWNJ.
3yrs ago the Liberals should’ve realised the Teal rise meant they needed to come back to the centre. Embrace science, embrace inclusivity, embrace intellectual honesty. Instead they careened ever rightward, egging themselves on to more negativity & crazier policies #auspol

The word “gloom” is from Old English glōm, which meant “twilight.” And the evening twilight was called ēfenglōm, or ‘evengloom’. So when we say something is gloomy, that originally meant “like twilight, when the world goes dark.”

In tears watching the @AntonyGreenElec tribute and farewell. So much praise so well deserved. We are better off as a nation for your knowledge and education on our political system. Happy retirement - you will be greatly missed #AusVotes2025
