So Mr Ed claims in a statement that he's apolitical but about 10 seconds later, there was tons of responses about his overwhelming support for Ukraine and he even recorded a song with Bono about the war!
Sheeran features on the second verse of "Yours Eternally," a song inspired by Ukrainian soldier and musician Taras Topolia.

That's funny, as Co-President #DanielOrtega announced the abolition of the electoral system, saying that #Nicaragua would no longer hold elections, all you got from the White House was a sternly worded reply. I guess that's what happens when one old bastard has as little to offer as another old bastard. The lack of international media coverage on what effectively is an imprisonment of 6.6 million people is both staggering and disgusting.
It ain't coming home!!!!!!!
We remember #Guernica and #OradourSurGlane as testaments to the evil in our societies—places where the lives of innocent people were deemed irrelevant, and where that evil consumed those who could not fight back.
Do we include #Gaza in that list of ghost towns?
Of course we do. But unlike the atrocities of the past, we can defend the innocent, destroy the evil, and stop it forever.

@DeliaChristina@sfba.social what a moron.
Fair play to #Ireland, #Slovenia, and #Spain. I know a lot of people here are quite snobby about the #Eurovision but you're missing the point. This competition is the #Israeli military regimes Berlin Olympics and anything that shows them up for the murdering bastards that they are is a great thing.
It’s also important to know the Germany would have boycotted the competition if #Israel had been removed.

The Football Association of Ireland has chosen a neutral country for its contentious match with the Israeli military regime later this year and they picked #Serbia - a nation also guilty of genocide.
Nice.

@LoganFive@beige.party does it have a donor card?
So what's the difference between the #Nazis and the dirty pigs of the #Israeli military regime?
The Nazis had the balls to show their faces.
The Nazis had no fear of reprisals because they thought they were superior.
These scumbags are afraid of the incredible #Palestinian people.
And their fear is justified because one day, the people of #Palestine will send them packing.

My choice would be a #Scandinavian #WorldCup primarily because it addresses many of the ethical, logistical, and cultural concerns that have plagued recent tournaments. Let’s break down why this would have been a far superior choice compared to #SaudiArabia, and how it aligns with the values of fairness, sustainability, and inclusivity. 2)

Why a Scandinavian World Cup Would Be a Sensational Choice ✅ Advantages
- Infrastructure & Logistics
- World-Class Stadiums & Training Facilities: #Sweden, #Norway, and #Denmark already have modern, high-capacity stadiums (e.g., Friends Arena in Stockholm, Ullevaal Stadion in Oslo, Parken Stadium in Copenhagen) that meet FIFA standards. #Iceland and even the #FaroeIslands could host training camps and smaller matches, leveraging their scenic and well-equipped facilities. 3)

A Missed Opportunity
A proposal for a #Scandinavian #WorldCup is logical, ethical, and exciting. It would have been a celebration of football in its purest form—inclusive, safe, and sustainable. Instead, #FIFA’s decision to award the tournament to #SaudiArabia prioritizes money and politics over people, risking the reputation of the World Cup as a force for good. 19)
Jaysus wept, that was a deplorable game. #Canada has zero potential and even up against a very poor side in #SouthAfrica, they utterly failed to make any impression. They're celebrating and their coach is boasting but it's farcical and it's the prime reason why this 48 squad tournament is wrong.
#WorldCup2026 #WorldCup
The opposition to these murdering bastards playing here in Ireland is growing and hopefully, it be more aggressive in the coming weeks. The #Irish government has effectively washed its hands and has passed the responsibility to the Football Association of #Ireland. The association is up to its eyes in legacy debt and will not under any circumstances, rock the boat with UEFA, who will never sanction the #Israelis because they practically own #UEFA. It's now up to the Irish people to take a stand.
Imagine if #Russia or even #Britain did this. This would be on every front page, news bulletin, and web site. Yet when it comes to the horrific crimes of the #Israeli military regime, it's completely ignored because we are supposedly getting too much to process.
Just hate #Israel with all you might and do everything possible to make Israelis pay for the evil that they commit against babies, women, and men who are completely innocent.
Block, boycott, and ban every one of them.
#freepalesti̇ne
Only a matter of time before somebody killed themselves on these deathraps.
When they aren't spontaneously bursting into flames, putting numerous children in ICU's across the country, they are now killing riders.
Thankfully, the #Irish government is moving towards an outright ban which will benefit many and be a loss to none.
And to think, there are idiots on here who think keeping the status quo is a plus for society and a punch in the nose for motor #vehicles.
It's Sunday and it's still ok to hate #Israel and #lovepalestine.

The Sun City venue initially benefited from a lack of awareness worldwide. Artists like Elton John played there knowing it was very unlikely that the vast majority of the world would know about it. That all changed when the call for Mandela to be released grew world wide and artists like Little Stephen made the venue more public 👇

If FIFA wants to redeem itself, it should:
- Pressure Saudi Arabia to implement real, verifiable reforms before 2034.
- Consider Scandinavia (or similar regions) for future tournaments—because the world deserves a World Cup that unites, not divides. 🔚
Replying to
-Transport Links: #Scandinavia boasts efficient rail, road, and air networks, making travel between host cities seamless for fans and teams. The region is also well-connected to the rest of #Europe, ensuring easy access for international visitors.
-Accommodation: With a high density of hotels, hostels, and Airbnb options, accommodation would not be a bottleneck. The region is also experienced in hosting large-scale events (e.g., Eurovision, #UEFA tournaments). 4)

Why This Would Have Been a Better Choice
- Ethical Integrity: A Scandinavian World Cup would align with FIFA’s stated values of inclusivity, non-discrimination, and human rights.
- Fan-Friendly: Fans could enjoy the tournament without fear—whether they’re women, LGBTQ+, or simply want to drink a beer in a fan zone.
- Sustainable Legacy: The tournament could set a new standard for eco-friendly mega-events, with carbon-neutral stadiums, renewable energy, and minimal waste. 17)

@BackFromTheDud@mas.to spot on.
Watching season five of #TheBoys and I think it's gone a season too far. The first few episodes seem to dance around a very slow story progression and rely on gore and violence more than ever. I'm beginning to think the end won't be the closure many fans are expecting.

These are the two scumbags who are suspects in the murderous act of killing #HindiRajab.

- Local Opposition to Infrastructure Projects
- Some communities might resist new stadiums or transport upgrades due to environmental or financial concerns.
- Solution:
- Use existing infrastructure as much as possible (e.g., upgrading rather than building new stadiums).
- Temporary modular stadiums (like those used in Qatar) for smaller cities.
- Public consultations to ensure local buy-in. 15)

Israel is seen as progressive but participants highlighted that the LGBTQ community still faces unresolved challenges in securing full rights.
Tal Salin Aicha, a 31-year-old tattoo artist, shared, “I don’t believe the LGBTQ community here enjoys all the freedoms people assume we have in Israel—we can’t even get married.”
Aicha added, “There’s still so much to fight for. Many young people are suffering, with slurs like ‘homo’ used as insults, and they’re targeted just for being themselves. 2)

@juergen_hubert@mementomori.social Nobody other than morons is giving the Israeli military regime any such credit. Without Germany and the US, Israel wouldn't last six months. In fact Israel's collapse has already begun and there's no stopping it - the more liberal- minded parts of the population with money and second passports have headed for the exit (and continue to do so), the army is at a point of collapse, the economy cannot function without US and European cash being thrown at it. It's a zombie state.

- Strict Financial Accountability
- Scandinavian countries have high standards for transparency and anti-corruption, which could slow down decision-making.
- Solution:
- Clear, early budgeting with independent audits to ensure accountability.
- Public-private partnerships to share costs and risks.16)

It’s reasonable to assume that factions within Israel, particularly those with conservate or far-right leanings, would oppose progressive rights for LGBTQIA+ communities. However, the ongoing genocide likely diverts attention, leaving little room for rolling back such ideological concerns. Given their history, there are concerns that, if unchecked, Tel Avi could eventually impose restrictions—or worse—on LGBTQIA+ rights. In short, the Israeli #LGBTQIA+ community is living on borrowed time. 🔚
One of the many downsides of social media’s impact on our lives is that truly terrible things sometimes get undeserved attention. Take #ArmieHammer, for example—his latest B-movie is getting publicity for its portrayal of immigrants. Of course, someone like him will never rise above mediocrity, but unfortunately, we still have to endure this kind of nonsense from time to time.
