#BREAKING The world's top court on Wednesday ruled that Israel's ban on the UN's main humanitarian provider to Palestinians and its restrictions on aid to Gaza and the occupied West Bank violate international law.

Catherine Connolly being a barrister should be covered by the press - to highlight how impressive it is that she succeeded in the profession in Ireland without family legal connections & being not from a upper middle class background. Astoundingly difficult in the period she would have been training

If you rent, you have no say in your home’s heating system & insulation level, but you do pay the bills. Minimum Building Energy Rating (BER) rules would change that—a Bill on this is being debated in the Dáil soon. Learn more⬇️ www.friendsoftheearth.ie/news/why-we-...

On top of that, these models are trained on culturally relevant and community-curated datasets, and they're geared towards really specific use cases: language preservation; healthcare; education.

We're seeing lots of headlines about the catastrophic impact of massive data center expansion. But what else could data centers look like? In my perpetual quest to seek out alternative technofutures, I want to highlight the really cool work of Keolu Fox. 🧵

For years, there's been a massive over-emphasis on food miles, and a massive under-emphasis on food type. By far and away the best dietary decision you can make, for environmental, humanitarian and public health purposes, is to cut out animal products.

I don't think enough people talk about how great BBC Bitesize is. Secondary school textbooks are now vanishingly rare and Bitesize content is (a) not in a terrible app, (b) engaging and interesting and easy to understand, and importantly (c) FREE. A properly great digital public good.

‘this child is not dying from a rare illness, or a sudden wound. He is dying from absence. From the steady erosion of what makes a life livable. From the spaces between explosions where the world forgets to look.’

"Gaza is no longer a place. It is an experiment, a question posed to humanity: How long can a population be bombed, starved and displaced before it ceases to exist? And how quietly can this be done before the world looks away for good?" Dr. Ezzideen Shehab x.com/ezzingaza/st...

"imagine the emotions of the library's owner, a collection that has outlasted even its creator [...] through friendships and travels across Arab and international capitals? Now, he finds himself facing the unimaginable: being forced by necessity to throw it all into the flames to feed his children."

Dr Eszideen @ezzingaza ...Who rules from beneath the rubble? Who governs from a tent? Who leads from the grave? The men in suits and titles will survive. They always do. It is shoemaker, widow, feverish infant, who will be buried. And buried not for defiance, but for existing. x.com/ezzingaza/st...
