I'm going to start asking every person who advocates for the forcible ending of Israel, against its people's will, how many Israelis they're willing to kill to achieve that goal. I've asked several already, and remarkably none have answered, even though the answer is obvious from their rhetoric.
It is smart of the IRCG to tell the boy to plead witless. Which is what I presume happened
Not sure tube strikes (especially partial ones) “bring London to a halt”. WfH/Liz Line/Overground/Lime bikes.
London just felt a bit empty today (so bad for restaurants etc) rather than full of people who’d come in and were struggling home. TfL say only -13% passengers and 51% of tube running.
A rally and a march, organised by different Jewish groups, had been organised to take place in Central London on the same date - an hour apart
Here's the thing. All these childish adults calling to wipe a state off the map, and pretending they think no one would die in that effort? Once the war of Israeli extermination began, they would absolutely put on a shocked Pikachu face and go "Oh, I didn't know it would be like THIS! How could I?"
Epic
I know. Slightly delirious by now. Bet the train crews slept well.
Yes, all day. Deadline for a paper, plus a bit of teaching
Alleged sex offender threatening to jump, I heard. Home at 5am in a taxi presumably paid for out of all our ticket prices
5am I got home! Thanks for checking
At 5am - hope you're not affected
It's 01:07. In 90 minutes somebody from LNER may move this train down a diversion, eventually reaching London. Nobody explains the delay. A few years ago I'd have been embarrassed by this lack of contingency - now I'm disturbed #retford
#Retford I am stuck on a train in Yorkshire. Trespasser on the track, or a bridge, or something. 3 hours stationary. #LNER staff doing their best, starting to fray a little.
Strange that this service has gone so wrong
Been 2 hours now stuck. Everything is getting on my nerves, especially the passengers being horrible to the LNER staff
I'm glad that whoever is considering throwing themselves off this bridge is being treated as somebody who's life is more important than the journeys of the passengers on the 18:00 from Edinburgh or the other way. Society in good order here. Good luck British Transport Police
Yes!

We can't both extract north sea oil and also thrive. Greenhouse gas. Simple.
There is nothing, nothing, 'pragmatic' about intensifying extraction of British fossil fuels. What kind of 'progessive' policy advisor doesn't grasp that global heating makes security less and less likely, and that arresting and reversing it is a collective responsibility
Seen colleagues forced to stop or change their advocacy in the inclusive education or Education for Sustainability after local pushback invoking academic freedom. Wonder if this kind of thing, with its imperatives and certainty, gets similar reactions

Opposition leader Péter Magyar at a rally.
Orbán's electoral crushing is a far greater achievement than most people outside Hungary realise.
He systemically consolidated power for 16 years, fixed the electoral map, abused govt power for political purposes & censored media.
The hurdles that Hungarians overcame for this moment were immense.
Magyar is not the messiah but he's "trying to improve". He won because he "speaks the language of the algorithm, but he builds trust in person. And he can keep up with the speed of the news cycle without losing strategic clarity.”
Some good environmental pledges from Magyar. He wants to end dependency on Russian energy by 2035, & double renewables by 2040. Plans to improve energy efficiency in 25% of homes within 10-15 years. Introduce strict enviro sanctions, increase recycling & stop supporting polluting foreign investors
Zelensky happy
Trump sad
Putin sad
I’m just so glad about how happy he’ll be and how sad they’ll be tonight.
Hello @jd-vance-1.bsky.social, please come campaign for Nigel Farage in the UK at your next opportunity.
Not cheered by Hungarians shouting "Russians get out". Anyone who wants Russians to get themselves leaders who don't murder, terrorise, spoil, land persecute, better not lump Russians in with those leaders. Better expand nationalists' imagination.
Kremlin get out. Putin get out. Russians rise up.
Hungarian election results.
Péter Magyar victory rally.
One way that Orbán sought to entrench power was adopting a new Hungarian constitution in 2011 that classified many policy areas as 'cardinal laws' that require a two-thirds majority vote to change.
With almost 100% of votes counted, the Hungarian opposition has just achieved what seemed impossible.
