Jesus. You have measured out our lives in Bake Offs.
This carries the “We’re disabled, Daniel, not werewolves” energy.
I’m sharing a Palestinian account every day and today is Darin. Darin was studying business administration and her husband Fesal was studying accounting. Darin gave birth to their little girl Lareen during the war. They’ve lost everything and Lareen was injured by shrapnel recently. They need help ❤️
Imagine if 63 people had been violently murdered in your community today.
Absolutely, they don't see it as necessary. And all the different little sites just copy the typos verbatim. I guess this is what happens when people refuse to pay for news...
I think your counter offer is: dont fly if you're morbidly obese.
So. Airlines need bigger seats?
Lol. Editing is no longer a value.
That's the answer.
Ach, great stories this week. Last one got me.
Nightswimming, but Orange Crush was the catalyst for my alternative music awakening. Picture 12 yo Bros fan me, standing at the TV listening to it, brain expanding cosmically.
If they all refused to go, it would also stop... can't put everyone in prison.
Announcing EU / UK trade sanctions on Israel has a good chance of stopping the build-up towards the occupation+destruction of Gaza city and the expulsion of its residents. Blocking this manoeuvre would greatly reinforce demands to end the war. This genocide can be stopped. Today.
"What sort of world have we slid into, when children are making their own funeral arrangements?!?" Liam Cunningham plays the tape of 6-year-old Fatima as she was planning the music for her own funeral. (She was killed by Israel 4 days ago...)
A 7-year-old girl from Gaza, Zeina Al-Ghoul, told her mother: “When I’m martyred, I’ll tell God to stop the war.” Zeina was killed while standing in line for a piece of biscuit. #CeasefireNow #FreePalestine
Ridiculous framing. It would be comedic if it wasn't so offensive.
Oo, another accufession.
Why dpoes the first thing look like the Sorting Hat?
This is an environmental disaster that should have us screaming from the rooftops.
Yes, Trump's just the hateful figurehead of a much more sinister cabal.
Why not listen to Israel's explanation in their own words - they want Gaza gone, they want back in, and they want everyone killed or displaced. Hamas is the excuse.
Ah, it's old, and possibly fake news! So on the plus side, not proof of life! Though I think there was a golfing photo circulating.
@awedandflawed.bsky.social @cuimhaidin.bsky.social Ple@se ,I am extremely hungry and haven't eaten for two days. Our children are hungry too. Any small amount can help buy food. Ple@se don't ignore this urgent call for help. Don@te and share
The trouble with using Victor Frankenstein as a template for today's tech maniacs is that he does pretty immediately regret it. No, what we have is Dr. Moreau, weird colonialists who gets cancelled and then spend their money creating more and more unwanted monstrosities for no particular reason.
I just asked the European Commission whether they would ask for the €50,000 back in this case, as it has clearly been used to develop a military product now contracted to be supplied to the IDF, in breach of Horizon rules. No comment on the specific case "have to look into it", spokesman says.
Thank you for asking the questions.
Excellent journalism. Digging, documenting, posing hard questions. Others please copy.
👉 This brings the recorded death toll from the Israeli genocide in Gaza to 63,557 and 160,660 injuries (likely 3-5x higher)
Naoise Dolan: I can’t conceptualise what is happening in Western leaders’ heads now, what psychological tricks they play on themselves. They continue to sleep and eat and walk their dogs while on some level presumably aware they are abetting mass murder.
to be spicy, falalalalalalalala
Regarding the below repost - sourdough is great. It's good for your gut, it's far less processed than the readily available sliced pan pap that's genuinely doing us harm. And best of all, it's delicious.
I'm turning off replies coz yes, I know you can still get sliced white. And so does she. But she had some thoughts about how sourdough is chewy and MY GOD she thought it would be banger to share them. Also, I like sourdough, I think it's great, yum yum.
Why are European states not meeting their obligations under international law? @yarahawari.bsky.social : "I think the very obvious answer to that is because of their complicity in the genocide"
I know two, who had holidays booked before Trump's election. Their both very concerned about it.
Yikes, it's almost Stephen Mangan.
“Ireland continues to put peace at the forefront. It received especially high scores for reducing its militarisation year-over-year and ranked as one of the countries with the fewest ongoing domestic and international conflicts. It also placed within the top 10 for societal safety and security.”
In fairness, though, they're not talking about Talbot Street.
Sadly (and revoltingly) so.
Warship is the new worship.
sunday is of course the day of warship
My son just messaged me from holiday that Trump shat himself on Fox News. What times we live in.
Lol, I read it like that for a second too ;)
A Bog Less Haunted - A Wistful Memoir.
Yup. Very very scary.
No one's saying US police aren't murderous. That doesn't really have any bearing on German police brutalising protesters.
It's not just police violence. It's also about their...support of the genocide.
So this, and all the other reported violence against protesters is just... made up?
Yes, they broke it - she had to have it operated on. Horrific police brutality. I saw them smashing someone's face into a train last week. It was really shocking.
I watched that fundraiser tick up in real time - I think the Irish outpouring shamed Americans into donating too.
The EU's Horizon Programme has pumped billions of euros into Israel's military-industrial complex, including millions since Israel was accused of genocide. It is high time to exclude Israel from EU Horizon. Article by @natebear1.bsky.social www.donotpanic.news/p/eu-science...
I found it kind of non, I have to admit. Souless, if you will. I didn't care about anyone.
I can
I saw a video a few days ago of a German police man viciously slamming a man's head into the side of a train. It was viscerally shocking. This is horrifying, but no surprise. Germany is standing up for some nauseating violence in the modern era. Never Again is Right Now.
Just today, I was asked by @amnesty.de journal about the conditions of protest in Germany and whether we are seeing a new quality of police violence at protests. You can guess my answer from this video. 2yrs ago we were discussing illegal pain compliance holds, now it's punches straight to the face
And there was me thinking it was just a sexy head land.
Uh oh. You're close to being on the Christmas card list.
Ireland now has over 5000 children living through homelessness. A month ago, the Housing Minister said he was powerless to stop this. Can you imagine being a child stuck living in a hotel, telling yourself it won't be for much longer, then seeing the man with the power to stop it talking like this
Possible causes of your problems. It’s a diagram that (sadly) still seems relevant in 2025, so reposting a year and a bit on.
Not to be facetious, but my daughter just... tried to touch her toes every day, and it wasn't long before she could do it.
Exactly which of their attacks is not premeditated?
Waah!
I was just joining in. I would say it has nothing to do with her. I feel confident that removing it will not be bad luck.
While the population of Gaza are being openly destroyed by bombs, bullets, disease and starvation, 100 miles from safety and plenty in Jerusalem, @moderation.bsky.app are busy taking down Gazan accounts desperately looking for help. I hope they can sleep at night.
What had this got to do with Brigid??
They've given up a bit, it seems!
🚨 Jewish Terror | Palestinian sources publish a video from Masafer Yatta in the South Hebron Hills showing Jewish assailants beating an elderly Palestinian amputee and knocking him to the ground, after raiding his land. 🧵
What if scientists hadn’t waited until this point to speak about politics Every time I see a headline like this, my brain just shouts Like what if scientists hadn’t sat around silently watching everyone around them get attacked Maybe the fight on campus would have gone differently
The 1948 Palestinian Nakba was documented as it happened by American journalist Dorothy Thompson in her documentary Sands of Sorrow (1950) Once considered America's second most influential woman, she was completely blacklist after it's release. youtu.be/nAv5bhEvT4E?...
And that the response of the masses is to rage at the govt for not arming the teachers or giving them heavily armed guards.
I accidentally fostered a much larger dog than the picture suggested, who ended up staying a month. When she got adopted, it was like the fable about the couple who thinks their house is too small, so the priest keeps bringing them large animals to live there and it feels big when they go.
In what way, exactly, do democrats oppose it? They gave Netanyahu a standing ovation, not a standing opposition.
But the chances are so high...
And then they killed this wonderful soul of the community too.
I am irrationally irritated by the way Americans say 'hot cocoa'. If they called chocolate milk cocoa, it would make sense. But they don't.
Hard to say if it's toxic masculinity or just moronic masculinity.
Oo, this one really gets me.
'reminiscent of' or 'tastes like'. It's the latter...
All worries if not. EVERYONE has time for this.
As with Ballymena, what's useful about the DUP's acquiescence to far right fearmongering about migrants is that it's so very clearly just about the racism. Net migration to NI *for the past 22 years* amounts to less than 62,000 people. That's less than 3k a year, in a state of 1.9 million people.
![BBC News NI headline: DUP's Sammy Wilson backs Nigel Farage's proposal to renegotiate Good Friday Agreement as part plan [sic] to stop small boat crossings.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:lss244cnzeoicm3p3nrg5ovh/bafkreif2gvke34ccgtzvnskacxjmvaig6bnc6hwcc7liyu3pcggz6dqzje@jpeg "Click to view full size")
Just for perspective, a few weeks ago roughly 100,000 turned up for the London Trans+ Pride march. By contrast fewer than 3,000 ACROSS THE WHOLE COUNTRY, have turned up to anti-asylum "protests". Yet we are meant to take the latter as "the voice of the people" and the former as "the minority".
Sigh. 'Nothing tastes as good as ...' NOPE.
Yup, very offputting. A sack of shite, no less. Also, expensive to feed! and will make your house feel much smaller.
Latin and Greek Orthodox Patriarchs of Jerusalem released a joint appeal for peace in Gaza on Tuesday, August 26, saying there is no reason to justify “the deliberate and forcible mass displacement of civilians.” August 27 Pope Leo XIV joined his voice to theirs www.vaticannews.va/en/pope/news...
I hate logging into an old account. I've been on the internet for twenty years now. It makes me feel like an immortal wizard. "Username incorrect? Well, I've been called many names over the centuries."
An accidental poem? Written by a poet who didn't know (they were) it?
"Israel's free Palestinian childminding service criticised" Netanyahu tells news agencies.
I dunno, have you heard ravens mimicking people? It's far, far scarier.
I have a serious complaint to make. FISK S3 only has 6 episodes. This will not stand. It's so excellently good. So smart and hiliarious. They're all the best characters, and I love whoever is on screen in the moment the best. @netflix.com pay for more, please.
A Reeses Piece?
Is that not kind of what they did?
This is the source of my appreciation of giant Polynesian type men.
Lol, yes, it's McTudor ;D
There is absolutely nothing wrong with any town, Dalkey or otherwise, saying no to Starbucks. Everyone should say no to Starbucks, for multiple reasons.
Sigh. We got one in Bray...
So, in English the hospital attack is a terrible mistake, whereas in Hebrew it was approved and carefully coordinated.
