I'm not American. Can someone explain this to me? Why would you register a party you are aligned with? I'm Ireland we use proportional representation so most people will be voting for multiple parties in order of how closely they align with your views.

Anna from No Such Thing as a Fish recommended an Australian podcast called Smart Enough to Know Better years ago and I've been thoroughly enjoying both since. And I would say if you get the opportunity to see No Such Thing as a Fish live go for it. They are excellent live.

Voting for a 3rd party is a vote for Trump. If you think Trump is less genocidal I have some magic beans to sell you.

So you side with the Palestinians then. The innocent people being murdered so their land can be stolen. Glad we got that cleared up.

Why are you saying Palestine? Israel are claiming they are fighting Hamas. Hamas aren't interchangeable with Palestine. Israel are indiscriminately murdering innocent Palestinians, none of these people have "refused a ceasefire". Whats worse about all this is Hamas wouldn't even exist is Israel hadn't funded them.

Raised by Wolves was killed by David Zaslav when HBO was brought by Discovery. The is the reason Discovery switched from educational programmes to reality TV. He ruins everything he touches.

If you haven't seen it already check out Bobby Fingers on YouTube. Only 4 videos so far (all amazing) and is the other half of the Rubber Bandits. Very talented VFX artist

Smart Enough to Know Better - Australian podcast where two guys discuss things that interest then in a humorous way. Could be the latest astrophysics news, could be the location of stomachs and diet of a centaur.

"The reason that the rich were so rich, Vimes reasoned, was because they managed to spend less money.

Take boots, for example. He earned thirty-eight dollars a month plus allowances. A really good pair of leather boots cost fifty dollars. But an affordable pair of boots, which were sort of OK for a season or two and then leaked like hell when the cardboard gave out, cost about ten dollars. Those were the kind of boots Vimes always bought, and wore until the soles were so thin that he could tell where he was in Ankh-Morpork on a foggy night by the feel of the cobbles.

But the thing was that good boots lasted for years and years. A man who could afford fifty dollars had a pair of boots that’d still be keeping his feet dry in ten years’ time, while the poor man who could only afford cheap boots would have spent a hundred dollars on boots in the same time and would still have wet feet."
