It's not in this article but the government asserts that the sandwich was thrown at "point blank range", which implies subway sandwiches have defined effective weapon ranges of varying lethality, and I would like to see the government's chart of these ranges.

The revolution started on social media. It ended with protests, violence, and an online poll to pick the new prime minister. www.wired.com/story/nepal-...

This does not look good. Not at all.

Missed this from earlier this year but this is absolutely disgraceful. Rest assured that no website that doxxes *students* in the name of “ethics” cares about justice in the slightest. www.aljazeera.com/amp/news/202...

Sinners is easily one of my top films of 2025, if not of all time. I was so happy to see this post proposed for the pop culture symposium - we finally got a horror piece! 🎃 opiniojuris.org/2025/10/31/f...

This is a huge (but positive, imo) shift given the emphasis on Microsoft partnerships in OTP strategies and policy papers over the last few years (even the draft policy on cyber enabled crimes from a few months ago). Really the only correct choice at this point given the risks

Kinda massive

New incredible detail here: ICE says a match in its facial recognition app Mobile Fortify is a "definitive" determination of a person's status, and that this overrides birth certificates. This is an app ICE is using in the field to scan people www.404media.co/ice-and-cbp-...

Thanks to @carlaferstman.bsky.social for visiting and giving a great lecture at QUB law today!

BREAKING: Top UN court says Israel must allow UN relief agency in Gaza to supply aid to the war-torn territory

🚨Today🚨 At 15:00 in #TheHague, the #ICJ will deliver its advisory opinion on "Obligations of #Israel... in relation to the Occupied Palestinian Territory". This is separate from the #genocide case brought by #SouthAfrica in 2023. It was requested by the #UN General Assembly in December 2024👇

Top recommendation for October: Interview with the Vampire (series). What a show, completely puts the film to shame.

Have discovered from the Facebook comments on this post that the Far Right really do not like being called the Far Right

I spoke to @irishnews.com about fake videos and misinformation used to spread hate by the far right: www.irishnews.com/news/norther...

A months-long investigation by The Ferret and a group of international journalists found there have been 40 propaganda animations produced by the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) in the past two years – including several using the Scottish Maritime Museum’s 3D scans theferret.scot/idf-s...

Many of these “illustrations” aren’t based on verified intelligence at all. Our analysis of 43 official IDF videos found recycled 3D environments, spatial inaccuracies, and assets lifted from unrelated artists and institutions.

NEW: Since October 2023, the IDF Spokesperson's Unit has released dozens of 3D animations illustrating alleged Hamas, Hezbollah, and Iranian sites The style is now unmistakable: satellite zoom-ins, black & white wireframes, and red-textured houses - a new visual language of war

The Home Secretary is now planning to find a way to criminalise the "cumulative effect" of protest.

““They dragged little Greta [Thunberg] by her hair before our eyes, beat her, and forced her to kiss the Israeli flag. They did everything imaginable to her, as a warning to others,” the Turkish activist ErsinÇelik, a participant in the Sumud flotilla, told Anadolu news agency.”+

Putting up Christmas decor before the end of October is offensive to us Halloween folk so pls stop

Close to 65k watching the livefeed from the Global Sumud Flotilla off the coast of Gaza. Israel seems to be intercepting right now. All eyes needed. www.youtube.com/watch?v=uEN2...

This passage nearly broke me.

Absolutely nothing can go wrong here, 10/10 idea
