Over 40,000 years ago, our early ancestors were already carving signs into tools and sculptures. According to a new study, repeated lines, notches, dots, and crosses exhibit the same level of complexity and information density as proto-cuneiform script, which emerged around 3000 BC

Israeli settlers launched a large-scale attack on the village of Qaryut, south of Nablus, wounding several Palestinians.

Labour having fewer seats than the SNP. Ooof. Have they considered electoral reform yet?

Good luck on your escape attempts.

And let's be clear what's being suggested...

That Muslim wives and daughters are going into the polling booth wanting to vote REFORM but their dominant controlling Islamic husbands demanded they voted for the unmarried, white woman plumber, in a party led by a gay Jewish man.

Christopher who? In May, a party founded eight years ago, with no record in national government and only eight MPs, will fight elections in Wales and Scotland, and for control of councils across England, with every chance of winning many of them. British politics is being reshaped by Reform UK. This is a result of Nigel Farage's personality and of Christopher Harborne's money - £9m, from a fortune amassed largely through cryptocurrency investments. The party would not be able to field candidates, run social media operations or door-to-door campaigns if it weren't for the Harborne war chest. There is a template for crypto-funded campaigning - in the US, where it is viewed as having led to securing crypto-friendly legislation and sweetheart deals to enrich crypto charlatans and undermine transparency and accountability in politics. Reform threatens to destroy the Conservatives as a party of government and divide communities, increasingly along ethnic lines and with overtly racist arguments. It also poses the most serious threat to Keir Starmer's government, Harborne lives in Thailand and owns a 12% stake in the Tether stablecoin. Little else is known about this intensely private man. Yet he can influence the course of politics, seemingly without either much of a business or life in the UK. It's a lot like overseas interference in British democracy. Didn't someone once say: "Take back control"?

From yesterday's Observer.

No more illegal wars. Introduce a prevention of military intervention act and put human rights at the heart of foreign policy. Review all UK arms sales and make us a force for international peace and justice.

The majority of people in this country do not want us to be involved in this war.

Keir Starmer of a few years ago wouldn't have supported this war.

The only reason he does now is he will do anything Donald Trump wants - and it makes us all less safe.

Impressive how Iran is being framed as the aggressor. Iran's attacks are "reckless". American and Israeli attacks, "sorry can't comment on them".

Israeli warplanes have just bombed the Iranian Red Crescent headquarters inside Tehran.

Dydd Dewi Sant hapus!

Hmm... This sounds familiar.

Elite Doctors Served Jeffrey Epstein While Treating His ‘Girls’

Just wanted to make sure this wasn't lost.

The connection between Epstein, the Dubins, and Mount Sinai Hospital.

Vile stuff.

Successive interviews by Nick Robinson this morning perfectly sum up the BBC:

with Zack Polanski: sneering, aggressive, constantly interrupting.

with David Bull, Reform's Chairman: polite, nodding along, barely any interruptions.

Amazing. Will share the link when it's up so you can listen too.

How US tech giants supplied Israel with AI models, raising questions about tech's role in warfare U.S. tech giants have quietly empowered Israel to track and kill many more alleged militants more quickly in Gaza and Lebanon through a sharp spike in artificial intelligence and computing services.

I would like to remind people that AI has already been used to kill people

OpenAI and Microsoft supplied Israel with AI models to track and kill people in Gaza which led to increased civilian deaths

People power led the Greens to victory in Gorton and Denton The party’s historic byelection win was earned by listening to voters, not ignoring them, as Labour has done

The Green Party took on the billionaire donors.

And won.

Some of my thoughts 👇🏼

observer.co.uk/news/opinion...

This is an illegal, unprovoked and brutal attack that shows once again that the USA and Israel are rogue states.

The UK must end our cosy relationship with the USA and our ongoing support for Israel.

Labour MP Clive Lewis doesn’t hold back on the Gorton and Denton result in this interview with ITV

The Greens proved them all wrong - the left is back

Opposing genocide makes you an extremist. Supporting trans rights makes you an extremist. Believing we shouldn't have to spend our lives in service to the fortunes of billionaires makes you an extremist. Welcoming immigrants with love not hate makes you an extremist.

I am EXTREMELY in! 🤘

A fifth of my time line is people posting this thread and ragging on Starmer. It is a delight.

Remove your military bases first :-P
