THE ESTABLISHMENT HAS ITS PRIORITIES, AND YOUR WELL-BEING IS NEVER AT THE TOP OF THE LIST:
The Church of England didn't condemn rape gangs.
It didn't condemn decriminalising abortion.
It didn't condemn assisted dying.
But it happily condemns stemming illegal immigration.
There is little value in a CofE that insults the Word of God & ignores the welfare of England. https://t.co/OTvSRTapb9

YES:
“Kennedy's reforms aren’t being proposed to disrupt a healthy and effective system that’s served us well; quite the opposite. The context is a sick and broken establishment that demands a fresh approach.”https://t.co/8qKetpDjWK https://t.co/lg8vameexP

OPEN THREAD: Party like it’s Saturday night.
BRIAN WANG: How Everything Changes After SpaceX Starship Flight 10. “SpaceX Starship flight 10 proved that Starship can fly to orbit and deliver payload. This makes Starship lower than even partially reusable Falcon 9 for cost to space. But that is just the start. Flight 10 shows the mass deployment of Starlink version 3 satellites will start happening in months. It also means that regular booster and starship reuse is very near as well. The big SpaceX gamble on the huge Starship and full reusability and crazy catches of giant rockets will pay off. In the history books, SpaceX Starship flight 10 will be where it was proved that everything about Starship was going to work.”
I’m already looking forward to v.3, even though there will undoubtedly be more bumps on the road.

HE DOESN’T HAVE TO KNOW ANYTHING HE JUST HAS TO FOLLOW THE SCRIPT, WHICH DOESN’T HAVE TO MAKE SENSE:
I realize Cenk is basically an idiot who just gives dumb takes on issues he knows nothing about, but the Prime Minister of the recognized government of Yemen (Salem Saleh bin Braik) is fine. Israel has never targeted him.
