It's crazy that it's up to individuals whether they can afford to have their relatives buried. It should be one of the first basic things a civilized country takes care of.

They just need "unless we can make more money in the short term by not doing it" appended to them. So, yes, they mean nothing.

That's where I stopped.

far-right minister Itamar Ben-Gvir told a rally of thousands that the only way to defeat Hamas is to “return home” to Gaza and encourage “voluntary emigration” of its Palestinian population—a euphemism for ethnic cleansing.

And "ethnic cleansing" is in turn a euphemism for genocide. Netanyahu and his government's plan for Palestine is simply genocide.

In 1991, Look of the Year was hosted by real-estate mogul Donald Trump at the Plaza Hotel in New York, which he owned. Former US President Trump and Copperfied were among the 10 judges.

Trump sat alongside him in the front row, with his then nine-year-old daughter Ivanka, who would later work for Elite as a model, perched on his knee. Naomi Campbell, then an Elite supermodel, co-hosted the black-tie gala with Casablancas.

Aimee Bendio, a 15-year-old American contestant, says she believes Copperfield also showed an interest in her during the 1991 competition. Footage from the contest shows Aimee being interviewed by the panel of judges in her swimsuit. Immediately after, the camera cuts to Trump and Copperfield leaning back in their chairs to talk to one another.

Yuck.

He went missing in the middle of a civil war when lots of people were being kidnapped and/or killed. Maybe because of this they didn't look as hard as they otherwise would.

The legislation, along with two other bills Mr. DeSantis signed on Wednesday, “will keep windmills off our beaches, gas in our tanks, and China out of our state,” the governor wrote on the social media platform X. “We’re restoring sanity in our approach to energy and rejecting the agenda of the radical green zealots.”

The Republican Party truly is a party for the dumb and the mentally damaged.

I like it, it's a smart and revealing strategy. Glad I originally misunderstood now because this comment of yours is really helpful and interesting.

Making solar power less affordable is exactly what the USA and the world needs right now.

This is in Canada so US law is irrelevant. And your "fat" thing is a bit offensive.

Sorry, I misread "from a girl to a woman or from a boy to a man" in your first comment, so I misunderstood your intent.

Unfortunately the rest of the world doesn't, yet still has to suffer it. Right when we need to be doing everything we can to save the planet, this guy will deliberately accelerate its destruction out of sheer pettiness.

And the majority of the USA still doesn't like him or want him, even if he wins the election.

The Landlord and Tenant Board found the landlord's conduct 'deplorable,' saying they clearly took advantage of a vulnerable tenant.

Last week one was sentenced to 11 years, another had to flee the country, a third could be arrested at any moment. And what were Manahel, Maryam and Fawzia al-Otaibi’s ‘crimes’? A few social media posts that outraged Saudi Arabia’s conservatives


In September 2022, Fawzia al-Otaibi was a week into a trip to her home country of Saudi Arabia, staying with a friend near the Bahrain border, when her phone rang. As soon as she heard the male voice on the other end of the line, she realised that returning had been a terrible mistake.

It was a police officer who, in 2019, had tracked her down and fined her for public indecency after she had posted a video on her Snapchat account, showing her dancing in jeans and a baseball cap at a concert in Riyadh. She and her two sisters, Maryam and Manahel, had become targets in a campaign of arrests, threats and intimidation by the Saudi authorities after they had used their popular social media channels to post about women’s rights. For her, the dancing clip wasn’t a political statement; it was just about sharing a happy moment with her followers.

After the fine, Fawzia left Saudi Arabia for Dubai and hadn’t been back to her home country in three years. She thought the authorities had forgotten about her. She was wrong.
