Sometimes you just need an ignorant American to explain things 🙂

So they, like. Passed a law saying women can wear whatever they feel comfortable in while swimming. And then, people got mad that women were wearing burkinis, so they de-funded the city until they banned them?

I mean, I see big dudes that wear long sleeve shirts into the pool to hide their man-boobs. They could also be doing it to limit sun exposure, which seems reasonable. I don’t judge. I figure these burkinis are kinda like that? Like, as long as nobodies wearing so much clothing that it becomes a drowning risk… What’s the BFD?

According to this site; they established these rules of only wearing tighter fitting swimwear because then people don’t wear them out and about, so they stay cleaner, thus don’t introduce as much dirt into the pool. (Makes sense since my public pool growing up wanted us to shower in the gym showers immediately prior to getting in so… I guess this is a valid concern at most pools)

However, they say that when they changed the rules to allow for burkinis, it was done as a religious exemption. So now the court says that changing the rules just for one random religion goes against the spirit of French law, so they changed it back.

I mean, I’m all for not giving a fuck about random religions and their weird draconian rules, but… Couldn’t they just have them shower at the pool prior to swimming? And think of all the poor fat men that desperately want to hide their shame 😞

Sometimes the better at thinking you are, the less sense working for others makes. The less sense spending time doing bullshit makes. The less sense spending time away from loved ones makes. I dunno, bro just needed a UBI

Israeli forces detained Bani Mufleh, from the town of Beita in Nablus, in June 2025 without charge under Israel’s administrative detention policy and released him in January 2026.

“Bani Mufleh suffered a severe brain hemorrhage just two days after his release and he was transferred to a hospital in critical condition,” it said.

6 fucking months. A journalist held without charge for 6 fucking months. They tortured him. There is no way to go from picture A to picture B without EXTREME mistreatment, EXTREME undernourishment. And for him to hemorrhage from his brain just days after release? REEKS of physical abuse. They are truly evil.

Pullover. Zip always bunches up when you sit down making it look like you have a boner coming out of your belly button.
