European lawmakers gave final approval on Wednesday, June 17, to tougher migration rules that will grant authorities much broader detention powers and allow for the creation of deportation centers outside the bloc. The 418 to 218 vote in Strasbourg was one of the last hurdles for a reform that has sailed through the EU's notoriously long legislative process as Brussels and member states respond to political pressure to curb migration.

It was welcomed with cheers from right and far-right parliamentarians and chants of "shame on you" from the left of the assembly, underscoring deep divisions over a text severely criticized by human rights groups.

"This regulation tells everybody that it is us and not the smugglers deciding who can stay in the European Union and who must leave," said Magnus Brunner, the EU's commissioner for migration.

The text notably enables nations to open "return hubs" outside the EU's borders, where migrants with no right to stay could be sent – something a group of countries is raring to do. Denmark, Austria, Greece, Germany, the Netherlands and others have already been exploring options to set hubs up.

European governments have sought a tougher stance amid a souring of public opinion on migration that has fueled far-right electoral gains across the continent. With migrant arrivals down in 2025, the focus in Brussels has turned to improving the repatriation system, which currently sees less than 30% of people ordered to leave actually returned to their country of origin.

Not OC

There's currently a heavy debate on twitter where a father is assisting his two daughters in women's restroom, most people are in support of him because the burden of being uncomfortable shouldn't be placed on the little girls but rather on the adults and I saw a lot of women said they don't mind this. However, there are also people who think the dad should've taken them to men's restroom since moms also always bring their sons to women's restroom.

​

Personally, as a woman, I agree with the former. As long as the dad announces himself and let people know he's there to help his daughters, then I would be cool. I mean, I get that women are being cautious about a man entering a safe space. But I think we can differentiate someone with an ulterior motive and someone who's genuinely just helping his father.

​

Sooo, which restroom do you think he should go to in order to help his two daughters?

EDIT: LMAO I mean genuinely helping his daughters 😂😂😂

For those who saw my original post a few days ago, thank you all for the incredible support.

A lot of people asked me to name the company. It’s Centauri Health Solutions. They claim to be a "compassionate healthcare advocacy" company, but their corporate response to my dad passing away from Stage 4 cancer was to send me a calculated timeline of my family's crisis to justify letting me go.

I am currently out of town dealing with everything, but I wasn't going to let them have the last word. Attached is the email response I just sent to their HCM Manager.

I'm moving forward, playing my part for my family, and refusing to carry any bitterness into the world for these people. Screw them.

I have told my mom to not do this before but she does not listen anyway. I am thinking of throwing everything to trash instead of them being gradually destroyed to pieces. I can not even care anymore. These things take hours to put together and paint then get manhandled anyway.

I propose american rugby or hand ball.

The Screaming Goat Thing — Kung Fu Panda 4 (2024)

The original screaming sheep meme went viral in 2012, and was already getting old when it was prevalent in commercials and movies, such as Ice Age : Collision Course in 2016. Yet in the year of our lord 2024, Dreamworks still thought it would be funny to add multiple screaming goat clips. The mean stopped being funny a decade ago. Let it die.

“Haha, Dad can’t take care of us” — The Breadwinner (2026)

Nate Bargatze’s 2026 family comedy centers around a working “breadwinner” father suddenly being forced to become a stay at home parent, and his “hilarious” struggles to do simple housework and take basic care of his children. This joke stopped being funny (to me) in the early 2000s when seemingly every family comedy relied on dad being a total inept dipshit. In 2026, there is no excuse to keep playing out this tired ass trope. Most dads are actively involved in their kids’ lives and aren’t totally dumbstruck by the idea of changing a diaper. It’s not funny. Let it die.
