Google finally updated some of its satellite images of Gaza and my god, it's horrific. The entirety of Rafah has been demolished. The majority of Khan Younis is in ruins. Entire towns completely leveled and erased of the map.

When you are informed, on a solo parenting weekend, that the Sunday morning u9s football match will - contrary to earlier suggestions - NOT in fact be going ahead in the bucketing rain, and you can instantly pivot to pancakes: that's the good stuff

The team getting our hopes up only to fully Sheeran the situation, leaving one principled player isolated in the process, is just about the worst way this could have gone

a lot of chat about a 'Kaepernick moment' in the lead up to this. Sadly we have our Kaepnernick moment: a player being absolutely hung out to dry by his association and teammates.

This is precisely why hundreds of experts demanded that during Ireland's presidency of the EU our country not be allowed to handle tech policy. Ireland is the trojan horse for US Big Tech lawlessness in the EU. It's really as simple as that.

Jonathan Swift DESTROYS the AI bros
The first Man I saw was of a meagre Aspect, with sooty Hands and Face, his Hair and Beard long, ragged and singed in several Places. His Clothes, Shirt, and Skin were all of the same Colour. He had been Eight Years upon a Project for extracting Sun-Beams out of Cucumbers,* which were to be put into Vials hermetically sealed, and let out to warm the Air in raw inclement Summers. He told me, he did not doubt in Eight Years more, he should be able to supply the Governors Gardens with Sun-shine at a reasonable Rate; but he complained that his stockwas low, and intreated me to give him something as an Encouragement to Ingenuity, especially since this had been a very dear Season for Cucumbers. I made him a small Present, for my Lord had furnished me with Money on purpose, because he knew their Practice of begging from all who go to see them.
