We will have a memorial service for our grandparents who were murdered during the Holocaust.

My brother and I are conflicted because of the stunning hypocrisy of remembering the Holocaust while Israel does similar to Palestinians, today.

It makes no sense.

We are against the Palestinian genocide.

BREAKING: @andyburnham.bsky.social says the Duchy of Lancaster is treating people in the north as “second-class citizens” after failing to support the clean-up of a huge illegal waste dump near Wigan

At Donald's behest, the United States of America is committing crimes against humanity.

And the Republican Party is doing nothing to stop him.

Everything Trump Touches Dies Goes Global When I tell you that everything Trump touches dies, some of you still try to find exceptions.

Tragic and spot-on from @therickwilson.bsky.social: Iran needed "the slow pressure of the outside world...time, openness, commerce." From America, its students and young protesters needed a lifeline, an example, "a hand reaching out...Instead, they got bombs." open.substack.com/pub/therickw...

A vintage black-and-white photograph from the 1930s showing British aeronautical engineer and motorcycle racer Beatrice "Tilly" Shilling (1909–1990) seated confidently astride her Norton racing motorcycle outside a brick building. She is a woman in her mid-20s with short, neatly combed hair, wearing a full leather racing suit with long sleeves and trousers, and tall leather boots. She smiles broadly with a proud, spirited expression while gripping the handlebars. The motorcycle is a classic Norton model (likely her modified 500cc International or M30), featuring a visible fuel tank with branding, exposed engine, sprung front forks, large spoked wheels, a side-mounted oil can or tool, and no front mudguard in racing style. The setting appears to be a workshop or garage exterior with a brick wall, drainpipe, and open doorway in the background. The image captures her daring personality as one of the few women to earn the British Motorcycle Racing Club's Gold Star for lapping Brooklands at over 100 mph, blending engineering prowess, speed, and trailblazing spirit in an era of male-dominated fields.

In 1940, British engineer Beatrice Shilling designed a simple brass restrictor that limited fuel flow just enough to prevent carburetor flooding in the #RAF Spitfire & Hurricane fighter planes during #WWII.

She was born #OTD in 1909.

On the left: An oval-framed black-and-white portrait photograph of Josephine Cochrane wearing a high-necked blouse or dress with lace detailing and a dark jacket or shawl. Her hair is styled in an elaborate braided updo typical of the Edwardian era, with soft curls framing her face. She gazes just to the right of the camera with a calm, composed expression, conveying quiet confidence and elegance. On the right: A printed advertisement for the "New Improved Garis-Cochrane Dish Washing Machine," featuring bold uppercase headline text: "YOU CAN HAVE Absolutely Clean Dishes" followed by promotional copy promising dishes cleaned "without being nicked and have them clean, without being cracked quick, or broken by using the" machine. The ad highlights the product's advantages over manual washing and includes a detailed line drawing illustration of the open dishwashing machine, showing internal racks holding plates and utensils, a hinged lid, and mechanical components like a pump or agitator. Small text notes it is "Used Exclusively in the Baltimore and Connor Hotels," with contact information: "Send for Catalogue," "Telephone Harrison 2981," and the manufacturer "Garis-Cochrane Mfg. Co., 1403 Auditorium Tower, CHICAGO, ILL." The overall design is classic early advertising style, emphasizing innovation in household labor-saving devices and featuring the woman as a symbol of modern domesticity.

Josephine Cochrane invented the first commercially successful automatic dishwasher.

Posthumously inducted into the National Inventors Hall of Fame in 2006. She was born #OTD in 1839.

The Scotswoman - Celebrating 30 Years - How women took over a 178-year-old newspaper YouTube video by Lesley Riddoch

The Scotsman newspaper was first published 200+ years ago but on March 8th 1995 its female staff took over & the Scotswoman was published - a one day wonder. A wee film to celebrate International Women’s Day. www.youtube.com/watch?v=8u4E...

Spain’s Member of Europe Parliament Irene Montero: “Because no one stopped the genocide in Gaza, the United States and Israel are now targeting Venezuela and Iran. We must isolate the U.S. and Israel now, so they can no longer spread terror across the globe.”

Trump is a disgusting person.
Remember his hot mic moment at Normandy … he believes our Military are “Suckers and Losers”.
=================

The World is watching the US use the language of genocide.
YES, this is the language of genocide!
To prove it we bombed an elementary school, executing 180 innocent Iranian children.
We are now telling a country of 90+ million people, who have nothing to do with their government, that they are next.

Explosive device has just been detonated outside the US Embassy in Norway in the middle of the night.

It seems very suspicious.

There's something deeply obscene and broken about the fact that Donald Trump and Pete Hegseth are bombing elementary schools in an illegal war of aggression, and there's still a sense among the opposition that it has to be explained in terms of gas prices in order to get American voters to care.

My thoughts exactly! A disgrace.

How the right-wing British press became Trump’s trumpet Churchill would be appalled by the kinds of things Donald Trump says and does. But Fleet Street is happy to ignore history for the sake of some political point-scoring, writes Alan Rusbridger

“You’d think he’d be busy monitoring the wildfire consequences of the war he’d just started. But, no, he entertained himself by slagging off the British leader to any British journalist who’d listen.”

And they did more than listen. They disgraced themselves.

So, Johnson, Farage, Badenoch, the Telegraph… howl about the UK being “an irrelevance on the world stage”.
Remind me again who decided to isolate us with a strategically and economically idiotic Brexit, relying on a trade deal with the US to save us from exactly the kind of weakness they now bemoan.

Amos Goldberg, Professor of Genocide Studies at The Hebrew University in Jerusalem "Yes, it is genocide. It's so difficult and painful to admit it, but we can no longer avoid this conclusion. Jewish history will henceforth be stained"

Is there anyone more qualified and unbiased?

Paedo Torpedo? Hegseth gloats after US submarine sinks Iranian warship US submarine has sunk an Iranian warship — and 'war' secretary Hegseth is childishly boasting about the strike like an entitled little brat

Utterly Obscene. Beginning to despair about the power of world events being in the hands of such monsters!

I thought this was brilliant too!

Oh.
