  • Jesus Christ: movie star

    This episode is so ridiculous it actually made me laugh. How is this “the front” of what’s on the news?

    I’m here to balance out my political news coverage, so I expect a little bit of right wing craziness sometimes, but this isn’t even news, it’s just an ad trying to make Christianity seem hip and cool???

    “So… was Jesus actually a feminist?” 😳

An attack wouldn't change the regime but would weaken it, reducing its capability to fund terrorism and provide support to proxies.
Swearing at work can get you sacked now
Q: What's your sense when these matters reach court of how tense things are between employers and employees?
There is significant tension as employees feel that their flexible working conditions established during the pandemic are hard-fought rights that should not be revoked.
Swearing at work can get you sacked now
Q: What did someone allegedly say that got them in trouble at CBA?
Bradley Duff was sacked for allegedly using inappropriate language and aggressive behavior towards a junior colleague.
Greenland: How far will Trump really go?
Q: Are voters behind this push to acquire Greenland, and are they even aware of the possible implications for them if it does go ahead?
Trump's positioning on foreign interventions is increasingly risky, as his support base is fracturing over aggressive foreign policy decisions, including the Greenland acquisition, while Americans are focused on domestic economic issues.
Is this Novak Djokovic’s last dance?
Q: Do you think the game will change when Novak Djokovic does eventually retire, when the last of the old guard is gone?
Yes, the game has already started to change with younger players like Alcaraz and Sinner, who play at an even higher level than the previous generation.
