Sky News reports from the site of an Israeli airstrike that hit a health centre in Lebanon. The strike resulted in nearly the entire medical team being killed. Health centers like this one are clearly protected from attack under the laws of armed conflict, but Israel disregards these protections.
...or allowing the US to use their airfields

One of the most remarkable objects in #Pompeii is a marble table support with P. Casca Longus inscribed on it. Longus was the 1st assassin to stab Julius Caesar on #IdesOfMarch (today in 44 BC). On his death Longus’ possessions were auctioned & this table was bought by a Pompeian
Imagine that everything he promised his base turning out to be a lie. Shocking. Just shocking.

Yeah. Sorry. It's Mother's Day so I'm feeling entitled to weak puns 😅

Oh Toby. Solidarity.
I don't know, but I guess it bothers me some that the President of the United States posted on social media that it is his great honor to be killing people. 🤷♂️

30 years ago today these children went to school in Dunblane, Scotland & never came home.
At the time Farage called the handgun ban that was brought in 'overkill' (there have been no such school shootings in the uk since).
This week farage is campaigning to restore the right to own handguns.
Glass beads were a luxury product in Bronze Age central Europe. These 3,000 year-old beads were found in the pile-dwelling settlements of Sipplingen and Hagnau-Burg at Lake Constance. They were probably made in the Alpine foothills from raw glass imported from Italy.

Lovely. ❤️

I'm so glad they've got a dignified, dedicated space at last Sophie. It looks really beautifully done and extremely moving
A day filled with poignant reflection as the permanent exhibition dedicated to the plaster casts of ancient Pompeians opened in #Pompeii.
At last they are given context: where, when and how they were found, what they were found with, and details such as their sex and approximate age.
A favourite lane of mine on Anglesey 💚
A purpose of the war on Iran might well be to provoke a terrorist attack inside the United States, thereby justifying the need to “federalize” elections. We must anticipate it, with sadness and resolution, and not be surprised, if it happens.
