My stand-up tour of NZ, Raybonanza, starts soon. Here's a joke that didn't make the cut. Bookings at: linktr.ee/raybonkan

This is absolutely absurd, wholly unfair to the Iranian team, & a clear violation of @FIFAWorldCup hosting obligations. Irans games must be moved out of the US & the US must be sanctioned appropriately by @FIFAcom. They have the ability & responsibility to do both pf these.

Iran v. New Zealand ended around 8pm here in Los Angeles. At 10:07pm, Iran players were on a bus bound for the airport, where they'd fly back to Tijuana. World Cup organizers wouldn't let them stay and recover. “Everything is like a disaster for us," Mehdi Taremi said.

Amir Ghalenoei, técnico da Seleção do Irã, após o empate contra a Nova Zelândia: ''Somos a seleção mais oprimida da história da Copa'. "Nem nós sabemos [porque vamos ter que sair] e é realmente engraçado. O planejamento da nossa equipe é feito em um lugar, mas a decisão final é tomada em outro. Deveríamos ter vindo para Los Angeles duas noites antes do jogo, mas não permitiram. Nosso plano era ficar aqui esta noite, descansar e voltar amanhã à tarde, mas mesmo assim não permitiram, e eu não sei por quê. É por isso que digo que a seleção iraniana é talvez a mais oprimida da história da Copa do Mundo. O presidente da federação não está aqui, o gerente da equipe não está aqui, o gerente interno da equipe não está aqui, o departamento de mídia não está aqui. Parte das responsabilidades pré-jogo que deveriam ser da diretoria ficaram a cargo da comissão técnica, enquanto o foco da comissão técnica deveria ser em questões técnicas. É por isso que digo que somos a seleção mais oprimida da história da Copa do Mundo." Via: @UOLEsporte 📷Getty Images

Unmatched resilience and bravery. The best of humanity.

This is disgusting. How desperate Americans are. They are saying Iran’s national team captain doesnt have a visa anymore and it’s already expired because he entered the US and he can’t come back for the next match. And you already know why he has to come back? Because our team has to travel to Mexico every time and come back for the next match. Their hatred and deep fear toward Iran is making me proud.

Paying Tribute to the 168 school girls murdered by Donald Trump

For those wondering the visa bond implemented by the Trump admin against Cape Verde is $15,000 per person. Many players in this tournament are here without family or personal support because they literally cannot afford the visa.

The fact that your government has made it illegal for me to answer yes is a damning testament to your flagrant disregard for civil liberties. This may be targeted at those taking action against the genocide, but it sets a very dangerous precedent that puts everyone at risk.

Hang on. People have been telling me all day that the only property for sale was 'behind the Green Line'/'within Israel's 1967 borders'. Are you saying that isn't true?

Read this from @signalapp, one of leaders in tech privacy to understand the implications of Starmer’s announcement. This is going to hand even more surveillance powers to the very companies that already know way too much about us.

Do you want Elon to have a copy of your biometrics? Do you want Zuck to scan your face? That’s what we will all be doing. This isn’t reigning in Silicon Valley power. It’s gifting them even more power. Of course, parents want these companies safe and regulated but that’s a job for govt, not the end user.

This is about ramming through digital ID and mass surveillance, while pretending it’s about the child wellbeing — a goal that Larry Ellison was massively funding Tony Blair’s think tank to lobby for in the UK; and bonus, about censoring content to desperately reverse this trend.

The last sentence is the real meat and potatoes of this. What's being promoted as a 'social media ban for children', is really an ID check for every adult.

Really enjoyed this from Frank Skinner in today's Observer. 1/2

Palestine is the most well-documented genocide in history, yet the most denied.

The President of Palestine's football association has been banned from attending the World Cup. He refused to shake hands with Israel's rep 6 weeks ago when Infantino tried to force him, instead shouting out "We are suffering" Now the racist genocide supporters have banned him
