  • I would really recommend the documentary Navalny:

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Navalny_(film)

    I knew almost nothing about the guy prior to watching it, and what happens to him is fascinating. He's not perfect but I do believe what he says and he really wanted a better Russia. The balls on this guy!!

  • I used to find these kind of stories funny, but these days I just wonder how desperate must someone be to do this.
    What's going on in their life that they've ended up doing this and their next stop is prison?

  • Israelis deserve peace, and Palestinians definitely deserve better

    Absolutely with you!

    But it is their responsibility as a people to make their situation better.

    Ok, hang on...

    What do you mean by this? Whose responsibility? Palestinians? They have a responsibility to improve their situation....

    Israel is an occupying force. Surely Israeli forces and settlers should leave occupied West Bank to start with. Then there can be a discussion about how Palestinians can improve their situation.

  • You get a phone call from someone claiming to be from 23andme but they're not...

    Hi it's Jim from 23andme.
    Just going through security with you. You did a test with us on the 5th Dec, your mother is X and your father is Y.
    Ok that confirms who I am.
    So as I said it's Jim and in your results we see you have a genetic condition which means you will have early onset dementia.
    We offer a preventative treatment. Want to enrol in the trial? It's $200.

    Not the best example I admit but an example of how that data could be misused and you've just paid "Jim" $200

  • While I agree with all of those things, I can only choose one thing. The protest is to call for a ceasefire on Gaza, so my sign will reflect that.

    Out of interest, do you think Israel's response to the attack by Hamas is disproportionate?

    As of today:

    • approximately 10,000 fatalities in Palestine
    • approximately 1,200 fatalities in Israel
