1/23 Sorry, this will be long... There is a lot of shouting about what happened in the Channel yesterday. So I want to go back to basic law. Not immigration policies or political rhetoric. At sea, the starting point is simple: Preservation of life comes first under all maritime conventions.

I was asked by @newlinesmag.bsky.social to write about the death of Bosnian Serb genocidaire Ratko Mladić. He was a war criminal but above all he was a coward. And it is on his cowardice, and the courage of those he sought to exterminate, that we should reflect. newlinesmag.com/spotlight/th...

#TodayInHistory: #OnThisDay in 1966, the New York Central Railroad broke the American rail speed record with its experimental M-497 railcar. Nicknamed the “Black Beetle,” the M-497 was a marvel of engineering. It was able to reach a speed of 183.68 mph, becoming America’s first high-speed train.

Missed it sadly (or maybe not). Always had this down as one of the very worst. And if not the worst shoot-out alone, then the worst match and shoot-out combo.

The US ticketing map we’ve all been waiting for. As someone who grew up with the European ethos of sport being for the fans (and sport fulfilling a crucial role in providing social cohesion) turning live sports into expensive money making machines is a thorn in my eye.

Bella Ciao 🎶🎵 🎶🎵 🎶
A stencil mural on a red brick wall in Providence, Rhode Island, USA. The artwork features a bold yellow background divided into two sections. The top shows a single large black fish surrounded by smaller fish scattered in disarray, with the text "DO NOT PANIC." The bottom section illustrates the smaller fish united to form a larger, powerful fish, swimming together to face the bigger fish, accompanied by the text "ORGANIZE." The piece delivers a powerful social message of unity and collective strength against challenges. A black fence runs along the bottom edge of the mural.
