I'm reading news of an imminent ceasefire deal. I'm praying that the violence truly stops, that we don't see drawn-out death by another name. I pray that we all stay alert and awake regardless of what comes next. None of us are free until Palestine is free and a ceasefire is not freedom.

Oooh, look at Sainsbury’s, with their fancy new Latin motto like they’re bleedin hogwarts Grow up

A large Sainsbury’s Store Front with the signs for the other shops laid out underneath. They are Argos Habitat Tu. sounds a bit Latin dunnit. lol eh

The fact they left out Specsavers leads me to think they knew what they were doing, and I’m probably just explaining their own joke to them

Occasional reminder that there’s no, “it’s too late, its over” for anthropogenic climate change. Every molecule of CO2 that doesn’t go into the atmosphere makes a difference. Preventing 0.1 degree of warming makes a difference. Every bit of climate resilience we build together makes a difference.

Insufficient from Streeting and actually quite dangerous. Musk's comments against Phillips in particular risk her safety. Saying you're "willing to work" with him helps validate that behaviour. www.bbc.com/news/article...

The Conservatives have also criticised the billionaire for "sharing things that are factually inaccurate".

For those keen to know, those 5 minutes and 38 seconds will dissipate over the course of the next 2 weeks. Next Friday, the stretch will be 1 minute and 22 seconds, and the Friday after that it will 0 minutes and 0 seconds! The 2025 stretch will start on the day *after* Friday the 13th. Seems apt.
