So your mum and her family were busy cheerleading Pinochet’s troops while they slaughtered civilians, I guess? And the communist party wasn’t even in power so that bit of your story is clearly made up.
Happy publication day to this pivotal contribution on Egypt's 2011 revolution!

For those who missed it: this was the moment The Strokes ensured they’ll never be invited back to Coachella again! I'm so proud of them

🧵(1) Digitization & cataloging is complete for 41 manuscripts in the collection of the Fondation Georges et Mathilde Salem in Aleppo, Syria. The collection includes texts by a variety of Christian, Muslim, and Jewish authors on topics ranging from medicine to grammar to poetry and literature.
Final thought - if this is how they treat the best-performing REF unit of assessment at the university, nobody is safe.
15 minutes; no questions; government got the blame; my department to have 60% of us sacked. Apparently sacking us will lead to a ‘new, improved’ curriculum. No voluntary scheme, straight to selection and legal minimum redundancy payment.
Such dignity

This is a really great article about women and ADHD and hormones.
“Palantir must be destroyed” is a phrase that works in both Middle Earth and Plain Old Earth.

I must listen to the birds.

The Israeli army struck civilians in the Lebanese city of Mayfadoun.
And then, the Israelis double-tapped the medics who arrived onto the scene.
And then, they triple-tapped the next wave of medics.
And then, they did it one more time for good measure.

BBC today correct Nigel Farage's false claim to Nick Robinson on Political Thinking (13th February 2026) that net migration was only down due to an "exodus" of people leaving the UK since 90% of net migration fall was a fall in immigration. After my 3rd complaint!

Just this week, the ads on my silly little phone game are “Google Gemini - just take a picture of your maths homework and it’ll do all the work for you, including pretending you understand the working-out”.
It’s illegal to run a human-powered essay mill, but this is FINE…
If Liz Kendall wants me to embrace AI, she can fix what’s wrong with it and stop talking about it as if a trillion dollar surveillance/kill-list engine sucking down as much energy as a new industrialised country and appropriating billions of pounds‘ worth of labour is a lost kitten.
There’s been another fire!
Someone set fire to the Raytheon building in Warner Robins, Georgia.
Raytheon is one of the world’s biggest arms manufacturers and supplies the US & Israel with their bombs.
The fire is being investigated & the person responsible has not been caught.
