'Meanwhile, SAPS is no longer publishing data on the murder of women and children in its quarterly crime reports.' [Parliament] is concerned by the absence of... data, this undermines efforts to assess the scope of violence against women and children and to develop effective, targeted interventions.

I’ve now lived so much longer than I would ever have expected to that I feel I’m living in the future. This is when I imagined Neuromancer happening. And now the creators of today’s AI warn us that it threatens humanity.

Maybe vertical drinking is a crucial aspect of British life, and it's appropriate for Downing Street to intervene. In the meantime, however, Number 10's howling silence about the climate emergency - amidst drought, fire and crop failure - continues. #Priorities www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2026...

For years, Telegraph columnists told us climate breakdown is a hoax. Now they say: it's real, but it's too late to do anything about it, so let the bodies pile high (again). Just one long list of excuses not to reduce fossil fuel use. Such newspapers bear as much responsibility as the oil firms.

Arundhati Roy: “To hear them say that art should not be political is jaw-dropping. It is a way of shutting down a conversation about a crime against humanity even as it unfolds before us in real time – when artists, writers and film-makers should be doing everything in their power to stop it.”

Lithuanian Olympic uniforms by Issey Miyake for the 1992 games in Barcelona. This was Lithuania's first time in the Olympics after gaining independence from the Soviet Union. Fabric was cut and shaped using heat, not scissors or sewing machines.
Someone wearing a Lithuania Olympics uniform by Issey Miyake. There's a cape across the back that says "Lithuania." Also pleated, flowy sleeves, puffy chest, cinched torso, and close fitting shirt below the waist point. Wearer has metallic pants and white sneakers. The hood on the uniform is pleated, so it has lines everywhere. The hood is half zipped, so it's covering part of the person's face. Bunch of athletes in the Lithuania Olympics uniform. The capes across the banks say "Lithuania." There's a Olympics logo on the seat. Similarly shaped Olympics uniforms for different countries, so they feature different colors in accordance with those countries.
