It is incredibly telling, to me at least, how Cameron and May were more progressive on trans rights, and yet even those areas of recognition are being rolled back/completely destroyed by Labour, yet trans and non-binary individuals are ignored, talked over, and told to shut up and support Labour.

“The estimate of the total amount of rubble in Gaza is 61 million tonnes. It is approximately 20 times the amount of rubble generated in all wars across the world over the last 18 years,” says Jaco Cilliers, the UNDP’s special representative in Palestine. www.irishtimes.com/world/middle...

It’s 186 years to the day since a man called Thomas O’Conor wrote a report about a stone figure on a church in Kiltinane, County Tipperary. This would be unremarkable were it not for what the statue looked like, because this was the first written use of the term Sheela-na-gig

Sir Ian McKellen orates 'The Stranger's Case' from 'Sir Thomas More' by Shakespeare about the Evil May Day xenophobic riot of 1517 in London. This passage was written 400 years ago, but times never change. Humanity refuses to change its unwarranted bias against 'others'.

I'm sorry but 'disingenuous bastards' is the only phrase suitable to characterize the behaviour of disingenuous bastards. The gulf between the compassionate instincts of its citizens and the hypocrisies of government have never been more clearly or deeply defined.

We're never going to reach forestry targets if we only see forests as an economic, rather than an ecological, project www.agriland.ie/farming-news...

DAFM needs 'at least 50 years' to reach forestry targets
'To achieve this level of forest cover by (say) 2050, additional planting of 16,000 hectares a year would have to be achieved'

Always funny when people get pissy about, of all things, *work to rule*. They are still doing their jobs, to the letter of the law in fact. That is causing problems is a serious indictment of how much extra people are expected to do in their job.

This is one of those headlines where, though they are becoming more and more common, it requires such a leap of imagination for normal people, that the scale of it is is hard to communicate. It’s like our world is screaming at us, but it’s in a frequency most of us can’t hear.

It remains the case that escooters make up a small fraction of road fatalities, incl deaths of children The overwhelming majority of road fatalities are homicides caused by collisions involving cars & large motor vehicles (e.g. lorries) The media coverage doesn't reflect this

I really do think tech crossed a line at some point between "helping you do the things you want to do" on the one hand, and "helping you do the things tech wants you to do" on the other. At this point, we're all contorting ourselves to live how the tech industry thinks we should be living.
