A tweet from NYTimes Communications (@NYTimesPR) reads: "We have appended an Editors' Note to a story about Mohammed Zakaria al-Mutawaq, a child in Gaza who was diagnosed with severe malnutrition. After publication, The Times learned that he also had pre-existing health problems. Read more below." Below the tweet is an image with text on a dark blue background. The text states: “Children in Gaza are malnourished and starving, as New York Times reporters and others have documented. We recently ran a story about Gaza’s most vulnerable civilians, including Mohammed Zakaria al-Mutawaq, who is about 18 months old and suffers from severe malnutrition. We have since learned new information, including from the hospital that treated him and his medical records, and have updated our story to add context about his pre-existing health problems. This additional detail gives readers a greater understanding of his situation. Our reporters and photographers continue to report from Gaza, bravely, sensitively, and at personal risk, so that readers can see firsthand the consequences of the war.” — A spokesperson for The New York Times.

Genocide from starvation apparently doesn't count if there was a preexisting condition according to the New York Times.

aption: 🚨Boycott Pepsi!

The newest reports of Q2 2025 are in!
And they don’t look good for Pepsi

Starmer really is a moral vacuum. Utterly devoid of any principles.

Palestinians either deserve statehood, or they don’t. Whether Israel continues to murder them by starvation or not is totally irrelevant to their claim on statehood

fuck starmer fuck the IDF #ACAB

Joint statement on Gaza from AFP, AP, BBC News and Reuters

For every politician and journalist who supported Israel's onslaught, or stayed silent:

This photograph should haunt you for the rest of your life.

You will never scrub the shame away. No future achievement, however great, will ever erase what you helped inflict on Gaza.

A Palestinian girl cries out for food with her hands held out at a charity kitchen amid the famine in Gaza. She is surrounded by other young, anguished children. This photo was taken on Thurs July 11, 2025 after at least 10 children were killed by an Israeli strike as they queued outside a medical point. More Palestinians have now been killed just waiting for food than the number of victims killed in the Hamas terrorist attack of October 7. Photograph credit is to Ebrahim Hajjaj of Reuters

Gaza is now officially in IPC Phase 5, the final stage of hunger. Designated as 'catastrophe'.

A further 67 of the starving were killed by IDF soldiers yesterday trying to access food. Witnesses say the victims had their hands held in the air.

One day, everyone will have always been against this.

I also quite like this

So, did anyone hear any whispers about this? It's been radio silence since then (I emailed my local SF TD before it and didn't even get a generic "thank you for your email" reply)

actually a lot of innocent people write birthday letters to child sex traffickers in which they repeatedly reference the secrets they share

I’ve just been on chat to an alleged human at NowTV where they spent half an hour repeating the same stock response and not answering my question. When I asked to complain I was told the supervisor would tell me “the same thing” (i.e. nothing, as they told me nothing!)
Awful customer service

Proceed with caution!

It is absolutely absurd that Diane Abbott has been suspended for this.

She's describing the lived experience of anti-Black racism.

She wasn't saying Jewish people and Travellers don't experience racism. She's saying that racism takes different forms.

BREAKING: Sir Keir Starmer has explained he had no choice but to suspend Diane Abbott because a woman of her colour should not be lecturing white people on racism 👀

This is a common view held by a certain type of person in centre left parties. They believe they’re being pragmatic.

Truth be told though, they’re just being abject cowards. Being the Diet Coke of the far right isn’t a winning strategy and never has been. If it was, Rishi Sunak would still be PM.

Police in Canterbury today informed a protestor that the phrase "Israel is committing genocide in Gaza" could be considered a declaration of support for Palestine Action and therefore a terrorism offence.

Not a single negative can be attributed to this bill. Not a single cis person has had their lives impacted by this bill.

It has only helped to make life that little bit easier for trans folk & hopefully contributed somewhat to better acceptance.

Especially considering terf island next door.

Ten years ago, on this day 15 July, the Irish Oireachtas passed the Gender Recognition Act 2015 (An tAcht um Inscne a Aithint, 2015).
It was a piece of legislation that allowed me to live my life authentically & I'm forever grateful.
Despite what others may have you believe, the sky did not fall in.

For anyone now looking for alternatives to WeTransfer (cos of price and AI badness), we are currently using Smash.
Strong GDPR adherence, has a carbon emissions plan, good free transfers offer and good value plans.

Thia is disgusting and you'd have to be a real piece of shit to have anything to do with it BUT it's worth remembering that many very respectable politicians voted for a massive policy that will drown people at sea. Drown people, as a policy

Excellent thread that everyone who thinks gender and sex are as simple as you learned in school should read before they ever offer up an opinion of any kind on trans or intersex people

Think for a minute that European leaders have voluntarily immolated their own credibility in order to allow impunity for this.

Miriam O'Callaghan opening up the Irish presidential debate on RTE with "Would you send Azelia Banks a dick pic if you were elected to the Aras?"

The internet, and social media in particular, has made people so obsessed with arguments and 'winning debates' that they have become focussed entirely on the literal, technical wording of statements, and have lost the ability to read between the lines to see deeper meanings.
