🚨 BREAKTHROUGH: 18-year-old Arya Satheesh from Ireland has developed a plant-based plastic that can biodegrade and release an enzyme that helps break down other plastic waste. A plastic that could actually help clean up plastic waste.

Interesting bit of information that came out the day after the Ireland-Israel Nations League game. Y'know, the one where the Israel fans made monkey noises at the black Irish players.
Quote from Abubaker Abed on Twitter:

"It was confirmed to me this morning by a prominent football journalist informed by a former FAI board member that the UK-based player agency Unique Sports Group (@UniqueSG) threatened the Irish players yesterday that they'd never play for US-owned UK clubs if they refused to play

quite sure that's actually also how you radicalize people, to begin with. i don't know why it works, but for some reason people will assess the conclusions of an argument critically, but not its premises. so you can get ppl to believe dire shit by putting it in the premises instead the conclusions

This is one reason I don't really buy the whole "they were just a product of their time, nobody knew any better" thing. Seeing people warm it up for the fucking 90s is absolutely wild. I was there, man, you can't say that!! It wasn't 100 years ago.

In 2024-25 HMRC failed to collect £59.2bn of tax; £500bn since 2010. £12.8bn lost through profit shifting by multinational corporations. Promoters of a business rates avoidance scheme boasted that they have deprived local councils of £500m. Billions can be raised by ending abuses.

Just a quick reminder that Kanye West who released a song entitled Heil Hitler - is currently touring all over the USA. Ed Sheeran is not to blame. It was made quite clear to him that all venues would be withdrawn unless Macklemore was dropped. But "Heil Hitler" is apparentally fine.

If you're in government watching criminal-led blackshirt thugs in balaclavas wage war on the RNLI and you're hedging your bets because you're not sure who the majority of the country will side with, why do you even want to be in government? Why would you WANT to lead people you think so little of?

If we want to suppress the wave of extreme far right radicalisation shittifying the country, then we need to send Prevent into public schools and elite universities, as well as the offices of the Times, the Telegraph and the Spectator and several cash-rich thinktanks. That’s where it’s coming from.

Herzog's argument could be remotely credible in an environment where the Israeli opposition, or indeed even Herzog himself, could be expected to announce a unilateral disengagement from the West Bank if they win the election. As this is impossible, the argument is dumb.

The reason they kept hammering on at "these are legitimate concerns" was because everyone could see that wasn't true, but the people running the press wanted to keep doing it anyway, because it was fun. They were having a great time and didn't want to stop.
