Illegal Israeli settlers set fire to this young boy. They. Set. Fire. To. A. Child. This is life in the West Bank. READ THAT AGAIN MONSTERS 🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬

Michael Prescott and Sir Robbie Gibb both bailed out of journalism years ago, and enjoy lucrative careers in corporate PR. And now they are the arbiters of BBC editorial standards. Go figure www.prospectmagazine.co.uk/ideas/media/...

The signs from Australia (their worst flu season on record), Japan (where they’ve had to close schools) and India indicate that this could be a long, drawn out flu season here with hospitals at capacity If you haven’t had your flu vax get it Covid as well if possible inews.co.uk/news/doctors...

*Again* the top story on BBC 6 music is about immigration How is Shabana Mahmood wanting to introduce a ‘Danish style’ system for refugees the top story this morning?!? The obsession of 6 Music news on immigration and asylum is frankly bizarre

Watch to the end

Is there a prominent Brexiter left who hasn’t torn off their mask to reveal the rancid racism beneath? Boris Johnson’s chief fluffer accusing anyone else of being over-promoted is peak process. The bitterness of insanely privileged men with empty souls knows no bounds.

Even I thought this was one of mine!

Oh dear. More worries about the consequences of CRISPR. The basic step - cutting both strands of DNA, which are then repaired, is not anodyne and has lasting effects.

A sandwich, Shroff said, cannot be a weapon hurled with force anywhere near enough to justify federal charges, and a bulletproof vest, she said, “is definitely going to keep you safe from a sandwich thrown at you.” www.nbcnews.com/politics/jus...

Wow! 😮🤩 There's a new interactive map of Every Known Road in the Roman Empire!! 🤓 itiner-e.org We might have to have a lie-down.

🚶‍♂️🚲 A new crossing on Claverton Down Road is open — the first step in the Scholars’ Way project to improve walking, wheeling and cycling routes in south Bath. More upgrades are on the way to help make everyday journeys safer and easier. Find out more in the comments.

the *best* thing about this... the creme de la creme of this comedy of errors... the absolute chef's-kiss peak-humour detail of this whole racist debacle... is that Kent County Council, which has both issued the permit and attached the condition, is a Reform-led council

Excessive force. PERIOD! They called them “violent mobs,” but the violence came from the guys with badges and body armor. 📌 Keep sharing videos, everyone, because they’re evidence.

Every single woman you know has had this happen to her. Even the goddamn president of Mexico.

Ed Balls tells him: "It was actually a bit nostalgic. It was a bit like James Cleverly talking about the Rwanda scheme using that kind of language – it took me back a couple of years."

Vital piece of investigative reporting from Sky. They've uncovered the X algorithm which feeds users extremist right wing material from the moment they join the site. It is a far-right radicalisation engine, by design. news.sky.com/story/the-x-...

I just don't think the idiots in the Trump administration realize how much normie moms are going to be incensed at their kids teachers and caregivers being carted off—especially when daycare is so damn expensive and hard to find. It's a collision of everything people are infuriated about.

Lewis is absolutely right here

Admit I was a bit blown away by this completely unexpected moment during our Unholy live show in New York on Wednesday @hillaryclinton.bsky.social

The thing that’s so incoherent about this is that yes, of course the 7/7 bombers were British. They were British terrorists. Being a massive arsehole doesn’t stop you being British, which is good news for Matt Goodwin otherwise he might find himself stateless.

Great investigation of the Nazis, racists and criminals mobilising the flag-on-lamp-posts movement. This is the kind of journalism that the national media could and should have conducted: manchestermill.co.uk/the-men-who-...

Here in Chicago, where government thugs are terrorizing my neighbors, I’ve been listening to old Graham Nash songs. They serve as sad reminders that the oppression he wrote about in the early ’70s is still here – maybe even worse. My boomer generation really fucked things up. 🧵 1/2

Lord Heseltine on charlatan Farage

Dear people who don't live in the Chicago area, Trump's thugs are practicing their violence on us before they apply it coast-to-coast. Get active now, while you can. Help us defeat the fascists and save our country.

Meanwhile, approximately 250 Ukrainian drones are reportedly en route to strike targets in Russia.

Pam Bondi swore no victims were trafficked to anyone but Epstein. But the victims say Epstein and Trump worked as a team to traffick them to Prince Andrew…

This is just straightforwardly false from Badenoch. If the Lam amendment had been passed, it would have removed ILR (and made liable to deportation) from someone who arrived here on a work permit in 1971, got ILR in mid-70s, and claimed her pension in 2000.

The were many Science in Action 'regulars' I'd have loved to have on this farewell edition, but with the threat from antiscience as the theme, hugely grateful @michaelemann.bsky.social could join, along with @drdebhoury.bsky.social @angierasmussen.bsky.social & @naomioreskes.bsky.social.

For years Roland has worked tirelessly to inform BBC listeners about societally-relevant science. This is exactly the WRONG time, BBC, to be letting him go! 😠

Swear her in. Release the Epstein Files.

Kemi Badenoch is absolutely right about this. At the time she hacked Harriet Harman's emails it was an offence carrying a prison sentence of up to five years

Manfredi Lefebvre , "Brexit is one of the main factors in our decision to potentially move our headquarters beyond the UK. The benefits of a European head office include lower operational costs, EU single market access and recruitment flexibility of a multilingual talent pool"

"The first couple of questions are easy: a tiger, an elephant, a giraffe, you know. When you get up to about five or six, and then when you get up to 10 and 20 and 25, they couldn't come close to answering any of those questions"
