When they received the call to respond to an Israeli airstrike in the city of Mayfadoun, in southern Lebanon, most of the paramedics held back, having previously seen colleagues killed by double-tap attacks targeting rescuers. But the medics from the Islamic Health Association (IHA) rushed to the scene. By the time the other emergency workers arrived at the site, they found the IHA medics had indeed been caught in a second strike. They started evacuating their wounded colleagues, only for their ambulances to be hit in two further attacks. One of the paramedics covered his ears and screamed, convulsing in pain as shrapnel shattered the back window of the ambulance. The rescue mission on Wednesday afternoon had turned into a nightmare as Israel carried out three consecutive strikes on three sets of ambulances and medical workers.

Israel performed a literal quadruple tap attack in Lebanon to massacre three separate sets of medics.

Truly pushing the bounds of human depravity.

Not a @greenparty.org.uk voter but hope their increased influence in next parliament will bring about some important change

They'll have been plotting who gets highest status jobs. It's all anyone seems to plot, anywhere.

Some day, all mayors will be made this way.

Our negative results on classical conditioning in planarian flatworms. This was surprising, given the long history of work (including sensational findings of memory transfer and retention through decapitation).

I think Starmer is a great PM

Come work at the Bristol Baby Lab! Postdoc recruitment starting soon; read up and get in touch with relevant people now. (I’m not involved in recruitment, but always happy to informally chat about what the Bristol developmental psychology scene is like.)

BREAKING: We're taking the government to court over Palantir Peter Thiel's surveillance firm is embedded in the NHS. Wes Streeting won't show us the briefings - so we have launched a legal challenge.

BREAKING: We’re taking the government to court over Palantir.

The government is refusing to hand over important briefings given to Wes Streeting about the £330m NHS data contract with Peter Thiel’s surveillance firm

So we’re taking legal action.

👏 Very unpopular opinion: Keir Starmer is a great PM,

a job that, like England Manager, looks easier from the sidelines.
