We are undergoing an unprecedented loss of freshwater across the planet. Rising temperature are prompting more evaporation and groundwater pumping, ultimately sending freshwater to the seas. newscientist.com/article/248983…
I was shocked in The Netherlands. Every City and town we visited (6) had thriving shopping areas alongside shopping centres. No closed down shops. No charity shops. Lots of independents. Just businesses doing well. How come We can’t manage this?
Corbyn opened many eyes to just how hateful, fraudulent and toxic our media are, particularly the state broadcaster, BBC. We know they lie, we witnessed it in real time. We documented it here. You can't unsee it once you've seen it. We don't believe them anymore. #ItWasAScam
Today was a victory for all anti-racists & anti-fascists! 500 anti-racists stopped Nazi Tenconi from marching through the city of Glasgow! We've proved today that Glasgow welcomes refugees and that the far right will never be welcomed in our city #RefugeesWelcome
MAJOR BREAKING NEWS Trump made 4,725 wire transfers to Epstein. Totaling over $1.1 billion ‼️ Let me repeat that…4,725 wire transfers, adding up to nearly $1.1 billion, flowing in and out of just 1 of Mr. Epstein’s bank accounts. #EpsteinTrumpFiles
Remembering Sinéad O'Connor who died two years ago today. RIP
The British government “care more about red paint on planes than they do about red blood on the walls of tents in Gaza.” Actor Juliet Stevenson attended the demonstration outside Downing Street last night, to demand our government takes action to prevent mass starvation in…
Just used the toilets in the Bombardier pub at the Pantheon in Paris. Panicked English woman in front of me asked, “am I in the wrong place, are these unisex toilets? Don’t worry, most Parisian toilets are unisex” I explained. Toilets really are an English obsession.

Rising temperatures are causing water to evaporate and driving humans to extract more groundwater, which is moving freshwater from the land to the seas and creating a "continental drying" trend newscientist.com/article/249000…
Interestingly, my university (Goldsmiths University of London) has said that all staff will receive mandatory antisemitism awareness training but management won't talk to 8 Jewish members of staff (incl me) who've asked to talk to them. Looking fwd to interesting seshes ahead!

28 men were jailed this month for crimes against children and women. 27 of them were white. Guess who the media focused on.
Employees who trialled a four-day work week for six months said they slept better and felt that their ability to work improved newscientist.com/article/248897…
Well, I for one feel a lot safer knowing that this is how the police are spending their time and resources.
A reminder that Jeremy Corbyn got 40% of the vote in 2017. This polling expert on Channel 4 news described it as "astonishing" and pointed out that other parties would kill for that sort of vote share. The appetite for socialist policies is there.
President Trump signed an executive order requiring companies with US government contracts to make their AI models "free from ideological bias". That could get messy for Big Tech newscientist.com/article/248977…
I asked Jeremy Corbyn if he felt vindicated after being relentlessly smeared for his pro-Palestine advocacy: "I have a house. I live a normal life. Somebody my age in Gaza doesn't even have water. It's about others, and it's our duty to use that privilege to support them."
