They only care about the hostages. This doesn't seem to have been a march against genocide.

Yeah but you have to consider the social media image too when doing a story like that

Amjad Shawa from the Palestinian NGO network, speaking from Gaza on Israels latest plan: "More genocidal crimes against the Palestinians while we are starving"

And what has Starmers response been? He's urging Israel to reconsider.

The latest spate of attacks on Indian people is simply the outworking of a renormalisation of racism within our public discourse.

Whatโ€™s your test of a bad restaurant? With food, one should be tolerant. But there is no need to be pretentious about fizzy drinks

Very enjoyable column by @robertshrimsley.bsky.social on 'the Diet Coke test' for restaurants:

Miatta Fahnbulleh: "Theres no one that can see what is happening in Gaza that isn't horrified by it"

If the govt was horrified they'd ban all arms exports to Israel, impose sanctions, & end all trade/military assistance. But you're not horrified. You've backed Israels genocide all the way

Australian living in Ireland okay I get it, but when she moved back home she somehow kept the column. Don't get it!

Warner Bros. has said The Hunt for Gollum is in fact the first of two new Lord of the Rings feature films from Peter Jackson, Fran Walsh, and Philippa Boyens based on J. R. R. Tolkien's Middle-earth, as the company aims to make more of the franchise. With The Hunt for Gollum, weโ€™ll get to see what Gollum was up to in the years between The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings.

I get they wanted a female writer of her generation for a columnist, but really she's the best they could up with? So many talented and interesting women they could've hired.... She doesn't even live in Ireland ๐Ÿคท
