Israel wiped Gaza from the face of the earth.  Everyone knew exactly what they were doing!  A crime more confessed to as it happened than any other in history. A crime more documented as it happened than any other in history. There are no excuses. None at all

Some early reports said that the horrifying flooding in Nepal was the result of an earthquake. However, the signal was actually the recording of the landslide. TL:DR - there was no earthquake, it was a landslide. earthquake.usgs.gov/earthquakes/...

The Messi magic just had to continue. Certainly one of the poorest matches I’ve seen him play but he still pops up, another 100 minutes of football played and a cracking goal to level the game. Sore one for Egypt, really admirable team. They should be proud.

The Government must block Nigel Farage’s resignation until the Standards Commissioner finishes investigating him. The people of Clacton deserve the full facts. If a by-election does go ahead, all parties should stand aside. We cannot give oxygen to this vanity project.

HERE IT IS! In August 2025, a massive landslide brought a big chunk of mountainside into the Tracy Arm fjord in Alaska, causing the second-largest tsunami ever recorded. My latest for @eos.org is the story of the forensic investigation, and why the culprit is climate change: 🧪

The Forensics of a Skyscraper-Sized Tsunami - Eos
A landslide in Tracy Arm Fjord in Alaska created the second-largest tsunami on record. A new analysis links this abrupt event to the retreat of a glacier and, ultimately, to climate change.

A retweet by Zack Polanski is now the main story across every single media outlet. Two days ago, it was revealed that Nigel Farage failed to disclose a £5 million gift from a crypto-billionaire. It gets nowhere near the media attention, for straightforward political reasons.

Lucas from Queer Disabled Edinburgh is wearing a black shirt and a patterned tie, they have a moustache and small beard, and a bald head. Mahasin from exhale has medium length curly hair and is wearing a long lilac dress with multiple chunky and decorative necklaces. They are all standing in front of a mirrored wall and are smiling. At the bottom is a picture of a round table with lots of place settings, each one has a leaflet about the awards, with a black and white picture of christina mckelvie, a smiling woman with short blonde hair, on them.A picture of a powerpoint slide on a projector screen.
