Schmigadoon and Schicago… both on Apple TV now www.imdb.com/title/tt1180... Can’t believe I only just picked it up. It’s great. Such fun bank holiday weekend shows to binge on. Wish they would make series 3 (written) too. #AppleTV

So much has been erased in #Gaza—lives, schools, libraries, and years of careful, intellectual work. These are the bios of 82 Gazan scholars whose lives and contributions to knowledge, were brutally cut short when they were killed by the IDF, simply for existing. rememberinggazascholars.org

Devastating. The US is racing backwards. We all lose when any of us lose.

If you're about to be hammered in local elections in at least part because you aren't deemed to be on the side of ordinary people then why are you you also delaying bills around which you could build an opposite narrative on ticket costs and leasehold? www.ft.com/content/1aa7...

"Any noticeable differences in bowel function should be checked out. If things are different, you should really see a doctor and ask explicitly, ‘Could this be colon cancer? I hear it’s happening in young people.’” www.nbcnews.com/health/healt...

The thing is, there are also "legitimate concerns" about her policies pandering to racists. Biden had one job, to stop Trump's second term. He failed. Labour's job is stop a Reform led government. They're doing the opposite.

📢 Physiotherapy is on Westminster's agenda on Thursday 23 April. Ask your MP to attend the debate on the AHP workforce. This is a key opportunity to raise the profile of physiotherapy. 📨 Invite your MP: https://www.csp.org.uk/blog/2026/04/physiotherapy-westminsters-agenda-ask-your-mp-be-there

This is a crucial report, shining a spotlight on the funding links between Russia, Hungary and the British mainstream right

These Trump thugs and their GOP enablers, are demolishing democratic norms and - as a side hustle - making billions. What “patriots”. www.narativ.org/p/exclusive-...

Read Mark's remarkable story, interspersed with clinical commentary by his palliative physician, at share.google/jACRqNhnzOOzAR… Humans are astonishing. We can't know anyone else's mind. We need their view. Start those conversations, everyone.

The medics feared that preventing Mark's imminent death by intubating him would condemn him to a life of insufferably constricted horizons: bedbound, unable to communicate. His family knew he would accept physical inability. His reflections are thought-provoking. ⬇️

29,000 likes for AI misinformation is not a great argument against stupidity (the reality is 20% solar along one line, which is still cool but not 100% across the entire network)

Absolutely.

First use of AI that gives me hope. Human. Bridge building not polarising.

Who owns England? Answering this question just became government policy. I spoke to Hannah Marsh about 10 years of campaigning for land ownership transparency, recent wins to open up the Land Registry - and how people can help get this over the line: wickedleeks.riverford.co.uk/news/who-own...

Glad to see this statement about the awful new death penalty bill passed in Israel. Made worse by the ongoing killing of palestinians in the West Bank by Israeli settlers with no legal consequences.

Thornberry is a good egg.

Regardless of the issue, it's always the same story: commercial interests allowed to ride roughshod over everything and everyone else. Faced with the urgent need for action, successive governments twiddle their thumbs. www.theguardian.com/environment/...

"Israel is the only democracy in the Middle East", they say

'The State of Palliative Care' - its benefits, its pioneering spirit, the compelling evidence, & the squeeze between underfunding & AD, are addressed by @apmposts.bsky.social President Suzanne Kite & VP Paul Paes. They call it 'an existential crisis.' sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

Half a million strong. Together. The biggest march against the far-right in British history.

Instead of relying on traditional streetlights that remain fully lit all night, many Scandinavian cities have adopted motion-activated lighting systems that automatically brighten as pedestrians, cyclists, or vehicles approach #energyefficiency #ActOnClimate

Does Mohammed Bin Salman ("Mr Bonesaw": whom the CIA concluded ordered the killing of journalist Jamal Khashoggi) own a piece of The Observer? Read the whole thread.

Must read from Carole Cadwalladr @carolecadwalla.bsky.social @thenerve.news The BBC have fallen for the tech bro snake oil. The recent deal with YouTube is just the lumpy precursor.

BBC DG pick: a privileged, private school, Oxbridge, consultant, tech bro with no broadcast experience - over 4 qualified women: sadly, unsurprising. Commons Committees often reveal true character… Your salary? 🤷🏻‍♂️ Did you read the report? 🤷🏾‍♂️ Brittin is 🦻🏻to👂🏾 Sunak. Like Clive says: Good luck, fella 🫵

If you want to know who took your money, it's the people with all of the money.

The lunatic quality of these proposals is persistently underestimated. They are far, far worse than people recognise.

As a cis woman it is hard to find the words to articulate how I feel about my safety being used as a pretence for this egregious bullying of children
