Hegseth undoubtedly faps to videos of his own press conferences

Been drinking much more lager than ale these days. Find it hits the spot more than ale and I don't feel as groggy the next morning. Plus makes me feel very continental and sophisticated.

That is understandable. I'm talking about not actually enjoying watching any football. Going mostly off vibes but it feels like a lot of football fans in this country at least are baffled by the idea of sitting down and watching a game for pleasure and see it as some kind of performative football hipsterism.

My partner dragged me to one in London about five years ago and I got hooked. A totally captivating and unique experience.

There are a lot of people who follow football teams who don't seem to enjoy watching football.

Muslim population in some parts of Eastern Europe is high. Bulgaria I think has the highest per capita in Europe. But having been colonised themselves throughout history there's a tendency to identify with Palestine in the same way the Irish do I guess. Also the legacy of being part of the Soviet sphere when Britain, America and to a lesser extent Israel were portrayed as the oppressor and workers were encouraged to directly support liberation movements. Having said that the far right like the far left is not that coherent here or anywhere really. America I am going mostly off social media to be honest which is not the best indicator I know. But it seems there is a large and ever growing subset of MAGA which are like "the US is in the pockets of Israel" which is a position I tend to agree with but also one which is a wafer thin line away from lurid antisemitic conspiracy theories.

A lot of the European right especially southern and eastern European seems to me more anti US and Israel, pro Palestine. And the far right in America seems to be becoming very anti Israel and indeed anti semitic. This is based on observations and vibes of course.

Trying to rank such things is pretty grotesque but I'd say exporting death on a large scale is probably worse than doing it within your own borders. Not that Iran doesn't export it, just compared to the US and Israel they seem like Switzerland.

The worst it's ever been

I don't think he's arguing otherwise. It is interesting in general how the far right's and even the centre right's attitude to Israel has changed over time.

It is also the case that they've had their brains addled by film and online media.

Parker didn't care what end it was.

I imagine the first thing you do is sort out travel to and accommodation in the city, then think about the stadium itself. So I am a little sceptical.

I had what I believe is called a sebaceous cyst at the top of my back for about a year. Very very big pimple thing that didn't have a poppable head like most spots. Started to chafe and was very ugly so was going to get it removed at a private place. Everything I read about it was like "DO NOT TRY TO POP IT". That summer it started to get really red and angry so I was desperate to get it removed then one morning in the shower... Ho. Lee. Shit. It just kept coming and coming. Was half an hour late to work because I couldn't get dressed. Nearly blocked up the shower. So incredibly satisfying though. I realise this isn't really related to the discussion I just wanted to put someone off their lunch.

I wonder if the based trad-cath JD Vance will condemn this. We wait.... https://www.ncronline.org/news/lebanese-maronite-catholic-priest-killed-israeli-tank-fire-southern-lebanon
