I was there too. Better than last year. Mark King was in better mood, and the band seemed to have more energy.

This replica of the car in which 6-year-old Palestinian child Hind Rajab was killed while fleeing Gaza City with her family last year was displayed in Bradford, UK, on what would have been her 7th birthday. The original vehicle was shot 335 times by Israeli forces.

Oh this is good news. I knew immediately upon seeing a car with a touch screen for the first time that it was a mistake and exactly why. A whole lot of other people did, too. Nice to see manufacturers acknowledging it.

NEW 🧡

The number of people travelling from Europe to the US in recent weeks has plummeted by as much as 35%, as travellers have cancelled plans in response to Trump’s policies and rhetoric, and horror stories from the border.

"Israel admits mistakes over medic killings in Gaza."

"Israel admits mistakes over medic killings in Gaza."

This story is so horrifying it is actually also a perfect case study of media literacy.

Look at this headline by the BBC. Is this how one should write the headline for the story of an army massacring medics, burying the ambulances, dumping the bodies in a mass grave, and then lying about it?

Le Monde reporting that a French scientist traveling to Houston to attend a conference was denied entry to US after a search of his phone & computer revealed messages critical of Trump's science cuts, "which [says CPB] conveyed hatred of Trump & could be qualified as terrorism".

@svenni.bsky.social Og nesten ingen i media stiller spΓΈrsmΓ₯lstegn ved at Oljefondet fremdeles har investeringer for milliarder av kroner i israelske selskaper.

And the Norwegian Oil Fund (a pension fund) have still investments in Israeli companies, about 21 billion dollars.

Fronpage of norwegian newspaper where it says that at least 326 have been killed in Israeli air-attacks.

At least 326 Palestinians have been killed in Israeli airstrikes, according to Norwegian newspapers. Why does the Norwegian Oil Fund (pension fund) still have large investments in Israeli companies? The Oil Fund's Council on Ethics is a joke. Money trumps ethics and morals. It's a disgrace.

It’s insane to think that the Trump administration was more welcoming this week to the Tate brothers than to the President of Ukraine.

The doctor who saw children shot in the head in Gazaβ€”and tried to tell the world Dr. Feroze Sidhwa has spent six months talking about what he saw as an emergency physician in Gaza. Why don't people believe him?

Bernie Sanders just spent ~5 minutes on the Senate floor listing horrors American doctors in Gaza saw, as he brings resolutions to block $20bil of weapons to Israel. Those testimonies were collected by a doctor named Feroze Sidhwa, who I interviewed last month: www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

Deep inside Internet Archive is a grinder. It has not been grinding in any meaningful way since October 10th. It is now grinding. It has three weeks of back-grinding to do, and then will keep grinding. There won't be anything obvious on the outside but this is the moment Archive came back alive
