I hope so, but they're pretty desperate right now, a lot of my clients are being let go in the name of restructuring

You know what Trump is like. Pick an American, get yer money. Although that din't work out in his favour in the Vatican 😂
I guarantee you the next DG of the WHO after Tedros leaves will be Chinese, or if they buckle, American
Worryingly still, China is stepping up in the global health funding stakes, easiest way to gain soft power, and it's fair to say their agenda isn't exactly the bastion of ethics...
Maybe he meant words. He managed seven words that followed one another before descending into gobbledegook
Is there a Nobel Conflict Prize?
It's crazy... he just says they were carrying drugs, a lot of drugs without a shred of evidence to back it up, he just says there was. And people buy it 😑
It's surreal... investigating files that have all the names, details and evidence in spades takes months on end, but they can round up thousands upon thousands of immigrants and place them in purpose-built detention camps in a matter of days...
Not funny: when I queried whether my retainer contract with the HIV vaccine research team would be renewed, my boss said "well, we've just had to tell patients in botswana and lesotho they will no longer be receiving treatment" and I said "do they need a graphic to explain why?" He did not laugh 😬
Not to mention how much funding the researchers have lost thanks to Trump's chumpiness
I don't talk much here about work (boring) but I do when I get a graphic published in The Lancet (my third this year!). To my science teacher who told me to "stick to drawing", I did both, thanks 😁
Here in barcelona only brit tourists order pints. A caña stays cold (and they do love their head!))
Where's the drip bottle of bleach?
Fam away... Thought I'd get up to all sorts of no good, but instead...
Those US tarrifs are really hitting China 🙄

It's miserable to think Reform types are looking at USA right now and thinking "let's be having some of that" 🙁

Kid free weekend. Saw Roses at the cinema. Pissed ourselves (comedy not incontinence) 😂😂 Highly recommend x
The papers will have a field day 🙁
I pissed myself laughing throughout 😂
After 20 years trying... Now you tell me!
In my decades as Daily Racist whereby I hosted platforms to engage with the fash, we didn't manage to change a single fash mind.
Traumatic enough to watch imagine experiencing it 😔
I haven't slept all night on work deadline looking dishevelled spun out and sat on a bench. A concerned homeless guy asked if I'd like share half his sandwich 😭😭🥰
I mean, have you seen HIS face??
A crap rap I made about Trump Chump x youtu.be/SjY8g7VFYt4

How CDC collect data: extensive peer-reviewed research How RFK Jr collects data: I was waking through the airport and these kids faces looked funny
I have a 21 year old. They're still just kids with big dreams at that age. Depressing
What can you tell from RFK's face??
He finally became a legitimate billionaire...
It's exactly like the dangerous war zone they said clearly
In the past six years I've been through three printers, the last one eye-wateringly expensive. It says it can do everything from print and scan to make me a cup of tea but all it does is try to work out where the signal is coming from. Give me a wire plugged into a machine a simple PRINT option
As Bill Hicks (pbuh) once pointed out: "A war is when two sides are fighting..."
And Michael Jackson's Heal The World...
You have the shining!
I've started to hate the phrase false equivalence. Israel's treatment of Palestinians can't be compared to the Holocaust. Trump can't be compared to Hitler. Fuck off. Two things don't have to be EXACTLY the same to be anagolous. Read some poetry to understand parallelism, you uncouth pricks 😑
I was thinking earlier about that infuriating exchange between Joe rogan and muskkk where they say you can't punch a Nazi because they've never met a Nazi. Because you can only be a Nazi if you're invading Poland 🙄
I guess all those billions they got to fund ICE will now just have to go to... Billionaires

Now I'm thinking you're just a bit of a fool. Enough time wasted here. You keep flying your flag for billionaires leaving the poor unable to get decent housing. I have a life I need to get on with. Sayonara
It's not the government, it's rich people buying out apartments and hiking up rents. And all you're doing here is cheering them on. I don't even know why you're on this anti-capitalism thread. You'll find a lot of like-minded capitalists on xitter. Maybe you'll be happier there
I'm not going to do your homework on the most basic of knowledges: Tourists have money, which is why they can travel Even a child understands that
Data for what? That tourists have more money to spend €100 a night at an airbnb than locals who can't afford €700 a month to rent a room? What in blue blazes are you even talking about?
Fact of the matter is, you'll never see a graffiti that reads: This hotel used to be my home
It's actually very simple what you're saying: Poor people go to airbnb because they can't afford hotels = poor people eat at McDonald's What you're sadly missing is: tourists are generally not poor, locals who've been priced out of the market are Want me to draw you a picture?
All dictators, like cult leaders, are ultimately the same. They use division and hatred and promises to keep them safe from wrongdoers to keep their people in line, without them ever realising they're being controlled, used and subjugated
Ha reminds me of the scientist Simon Singh's answer...
Hm. I wonder why this could be? 🤔 www.travelandtourworld.com/news/article...
I appreciate you came here as a tourist and don't have much money, but you don't represent the average tourist. The average tourist can afford to stay here. The average local is struggling to do so. The sober analysis: I'm siding with the poor here. While you're siding with the millionaire landlord
Remember the part where I told you you're making up your own arguments? So you've now gone from me telling tourists to stop feeding the capitalist machine that sees the rich buy homes to turn them into airbnbs and pricing out locals... to me telling poor people they can't eat junk food 🤷
On the further inspection, it's more like an empanada or a dumpling even www.spendwithpennies.com/homemade-pie...
It's sausage in a pitta
You know, if you had said "as well as tourists, many countries have allowed the super wealthy..." I'd have agreed with you. Dunno why you chose to make your point by being condescending 🤷
And the biggest mass homeowner by proxy is? Take your time before you realise ah, it is the tourists who stay in one of his

It's a kids water pistol. Not even as dangerous as a subway sandwich. Some perspective, please
Jesus
I can't speak for Brazilians but I know a ton of Argentinians here through the party scene. They're not hated here by the no tourist brigade because they're not rich and don't contribute to the hike in rent. You're mistaking economic migrants with tourists
That's just paranoid. They mostly do it during a no tourist march, around the centre, and they squirt passers by who clearly look like tourists (generally white brits). Why stop at pathogens? Why not just imagine it's acid 🤷
Not everyone here works for the service industry. The economy there doing well means little to them if they can no longer live here. Pero sigamos defendiendo el capitalismo 🤷
I see you've decided to have you own argument so it's pointless me saying anything. But this is about Airbnb culture destroying local people's rental opportunities. You probably shouldn't be too vocal in your support for that
Like I say, in barcelona, the activists have kept it on the light side (water pistols) and not violent/xenophobic. I respect them for that
That's not what they're saying. Tourism is necessary, but mass tourism, especially in terms of housing prices, isn't doing the locals any favours. You can visit somewhere without taking it over
Here in barcelona, the anti-tourist brigade have been very respectful, they make their point by squirting tourists with water pistols (never heard of an instance involving garbage)
It's not a war it's a one-sided wipe out
Make a movie mildly inappropriate: Conception
London you were great (and it's true it's dangerous ... For the wallet) but so happy to be back in barcelona with my besties. Happy Sunday x
Make climbing harder... Getting OUT of USA??
Size of those pans no such thing as a small portion
I'm punctual to a fault. I'd rather turn up way too early and be bored than rush and bee stressed with minutes to go
I used to be gullible but then someone told me they took the word gullible out of the dictionary so now I don't know what I am 😑
Them pots be a beauty, cor
Now I think about it... That hole is a single serving?? For who... A lilliput?
Here's a little factoid. A food mag asked a bunch of top chefs what their favourite comfort food was. The most popular answer was sardines on toast
I did not know that! Also, apparently the handles on the pot are there to rest your ladle in, but I'm not convinced
Share a factoid everyone probably knows but you didn't until recently Boys wear belts to hold up their jeans. Girls don't need to because they have hips x
Yesterday should've been 2. I went for ONION and immediately thought why did I go for two Os 😐
A THING I CAN DO: instinctively know to portion the last mouthful of curry with the last tear of a chapati A THING I CAN'T DO: have the right amount of crisps left for the last bite of a sandwich What's a thing you can and can't do?
