There are few things I truly hate more than Eurovision, but one of them is whitewashing a genocide. #freepalestine

A genocidal state has no place in the World Cup. #freepalestine

Following the targeted killing of Anas al Sharif and other Al Jazeera journalists in Gaza by the IDF, its clear #microsoft has blood on its hands #freepalestine

An interview with Hamada Sho in this month’s Time magazine. In the early days of the war he prepared meals for the kids in Gaza using what supplies he could find. Unable to find food, he now distributes clean water. An amazing, kind and inspiring man in an unimaginably awful situation #freepalestine

@irvinewelsh.bsky.social and @zadiesmith.bsky.social add their name to the growing number of creatives calling for an israel boycott and an end to their starvation of Gaza. #freepalestine

This is amongst the most impactful two minutes of broadcasting I’ve ever seen. By Emma Murphy, International Editor, ITV News. #Gaza

"In reality, our wildlife here is pretty boring: squirrels, some deer, a few bears. All pretty normal stuff.”

It’s a shame things have come this far before these these voices have been raised, but it’s a small step in the right direction #ceasefirenow #freePalestine

Why are we reluctant to recognize Israel’s genocide in Gaza? | Kenneth Roth

This is what our governments are enabling.

Palestinian photojournalist Abdel Rahim Khudr breaks down after discovering the loss of 48 family members in an Israeli air attack that hit his home in northern Gaza on the first day of Eid al-Adha.

..saw the truly awesome #Wunderhorse last night. A master class in rocking the fuck out! I don’t think we’ll be lucky enough to see them at such an intimate venue again!

After deliberately blocking humanitarian assistance from entering Gaza for 78 days, Israel has begun allowing in a “basic amount” of aid. Israeli authorities’ blockade and use of starvation of civilians as a weapon of war amounts to war crimes and acts of genocide.

Access to food in #Gaza is desperately low in the longest siege since the start of the war. Hear Amande Bazerolle, Emergency Coordinator for Doctors Without Borders, speak on the worsening malnutrition crisis.

Love this! #JarvisCocker is (in my humble opinion) the last great lyricist.

SORRY. Sorry. Have we seen this *incredible* news video coming out of Queensland? Wait for the witness/witnesses statement

Is it telling that Vance didn’t wear a tie on his visit to Greenland?

Perfect

The moral of this story is *do not drop all or even most protection measures against diseases* or you will go down a very similar path to the last person that played let’s pretend. www.bbc.com/future/artic...

Fucking ping pong paddles? Is that the best they could manage? This is not what an effective or remotely serious opposition like looks like.

..it’s also pretty clear what the “D” in “JD” stands for.

Dear several colleagues at work this week, If your kid is too sick to go to school, for fuck’s sake, please don’t bring him into work. Best regards, Everyone else

Wow - Barron Trump’s Patrick Bateman game is strong. He doesn’t look as stupid/ coked-up as his older siblings. Terrifying.

Well, this was a kick in the guts we didn’t need today ☹️

Much love and support to everyone in Gaza tonight - I hope you are able to return home safely, start rebuilding your lives and building a safe future.

People who are more concerned about who should take credit for the ceasefire in Palestine, than they are about the fact that there is a ceasefire at all, need to take a long hard look at themselves…

My first day in LA since I was a kid. Never a dull moment…

Feast your eyes on the Webb Telescope image of Rho Ophiuchi Cloud Complex, the closest star nursery to Earth!

My daughter and I did a deep-dive into music from 1987 to predict songs that would feature in the final series of #StrangerThings True Faith by New Order is our hot pick for the last song, last episode. The lyrics are perfect and it’s a complete banger! Any other suggestions?

#theShining is a Christmas movie, right?

“Swedes are not afraid to put citizenship, community and responsibility for the group at the heart of their day-to-day lives.” As a Swedish resident who witnessed the disregard we showed for each other (particularly our old and vulnerable) during Covid, I feel pretty confident when I say “lol”
