I doubt any major power will intervene for Iran unless it looks like a regime change that actually benefits Israel / the USA happens. China and Russia have basically been minimal allies with Iran for the sake of funding an enemy of America, but they've always wanted Iran to remain weaker.

The small pro Iran groups, largely the groups Iran trained will act, but they have been already for the past 3 years.

Book your time travellers grand tour feast of flood beer, butter, cheese, whiskey, wine and chocolate.

For the cheaper package, there's the toxic runoff, coal and radioactive material tour.

50% of the list is "The great chocolate and beer flood, where everyone got drunk and full." And the other half is "The terrible toxic fossils fuel slip or ecological disaster and death", except both have equal deaths.

The pentagon knew Israel was about to attack, they said so themselves, but denied any support or involvement. This seems to a valid reason for the pizza party, just to track, observe and be ready for any unexpected counter response.

I am in the camp where I believe the USA hasn't actively been involved yet but fully intend to be in the coming days. We have a seen Israel do anything they weren't already capable of, and the massive shift of US jets, missiles and an aircraft carrier to the middle east has largely happened after the initial attack.

Also I actually have less of an issue with other people buying Gaiman's work. I have no love for the man and won't buy anything myself again, but if you buy something of his, the money goes to him, and stops there. Rowling directly funds bigotry; the money people spend on Harry Potter is in a direct pipeline to funding the suffering of innocent people.

At the very least, before everything happened with Gaiman, he was known for having positive philanthropic ventures. Even if you gave him money, a sizable portion went to him, another portion went on to better the world. I'd presume he still supports these trusts and charities too.

This guy pops up everywhere online with screenshots of his silly tweets, and every time I think it's Edward Snowden.

It takes me to the end of tweet to realise that's a crazy post for him, and go back and read his name properly.

I'm the opposite, I want romance, character death, low magic, a later era (1700s theming more than 800s), safety tools out the wazoo and in-game bigotry that my party can rebel against.

Gal Godot.

I'm very impressed with Lemmy here for not doing what Reddit would have and naming a long list of women. That being said, if I didn't feel a moral obligation to boycott Gal Godot, she is so talentless that she hasn't made anyone else's list because it's such a low hanging fruit.

She's very typecast, but she can act. If she actually got a role where she could show strong emotion, I think she could rise to it well. She's good in Challengers and great in Euphoria.

He's the only actor I can think of I actively boycott other than Gal Godot. Aside from his violent racism and American nationalism which is all well documented, I just absolutely loathe the type of character he likes to play; the macho snarky asshole who feels like he got kicked out of basic training and makes being a veteran his whole personality.

There's few archetypes I hate more than the "former soldier who could kill a man, harbouring some deep unnerving instinct", or the "American in a truck who loves the flag and is just a hard working guy", and somehow he always plays and glamorises both, despite not actually being either.

This was my hometown's team. It's super strange having it put on the map, where basically everybody knows this story, and before then nothing at all.

It's absolutely just a random investment in a potentially very lucrative industry. 21st century football is massively swayed by who can spend the most money, especially below the very top level where the money becomes too ridiculous. Wrexham had the oldest active ground in the UK and the ground itself is particularly goodnfkr the level of play. Wrexham had dropped from 3rd division to like 5th, near 6th when he bought it (I think). But Wrexham as a city isn't small, it's the largest population centre in North Wales, and before it gained city status in 2022, was a larger town than many of the cities near it. All it really needed to do well was investment, where it had the facilities to be tenfold more successful if anybody actually paid for it, it's the same for probably a dozen other teams across the UK.

But the investment worked of course, and the team has done amazingly well since then. But don't consider this anything but an investment where two celebrities used their image to aid it's success.

He is very involved in the branding that results in his typecasting, so I have no pitty for it.
