Something unusual is happening in Kyiv. Calm. Since last night. It’s 4 pm. This calm feels like a spider’s web. Delicate. Fragile. May the spider keep doing its job.

Gaza, a small city that before the genocide was one of the most densely populated cities in the world, with 2.4 million inhabitants in an area of ​​no more than 360 square kilometers, has now lost 70 percent of its area under occupation after the genocide.

When we see the excess deaths from record-breaking temperatures we shouldn't be shy in saying those journalists who knowingly lied and obfuscated about climate change until there was nothing we could do about it have blood on their hands the same way Nazi propagandists did.

BREAKING📢 Crack team of climate scientists show "it is no longer defensible for companies proposing new or extended fossil fuel projects to claim the climate harms will be negligible. Our research shows the harms are, in fact, tangible and quantifiable – and no project is too small to matter"
theconversation.com
For the first time, we linked a new fossil fuel project to hundreds of deaths. Here’s the impact of Woodside’s Scarborough gas project
The results challenge claims that the climate risks posed by an individual fossil fuel project are negligible or cannot be quantified.

"with far-right actors like Daniel Thomas ... and Dan Wootton calling Piddington the ground zero of the coming civil war" We should be in no doubt that we are back in the #1930s and face a nasty, brutal future if our politicians do not push back and stamp on this. They are not. It is disturbing.

"It is hard enough to be a carer for your own loved ones. The tenderness I dispensed to my mother, came from a battery she had charged with five decades of love. Being able to muster the energy and patience it takes to care for a complete stranger... Well, it's magical. It's a sort of superpower."

Yes every woman has been harassed, many assaulted. But every woman has also experienced invisible loss from moments she avoided harassment. She felt a space becoming unsafe, so she left, while men stayed on. And in leaving, she lost: opportunities, experiences, learning, promotions, even simply fun.

So the Bayeux Tapestry exhibition is not going very well They've sold far too many tickets and the space cannot cope with the physical number of people - how did they not do basic crowd flow/control calculations? Embarrassing that the British cannot organise a queue properly (Not my photo)
Paper flyer from the British Museum apologising for the disruption to your Bayeux Tapestry visit today

It's basically saying 'sorry we may not be able to get you in today, we will try and get you an alternative date but if we can't do this we will refund your ticket'
