🚨 NEW: More than 50 people have so far been arrested at today’s London demonstration supporting Palestine Action

I realize broad science-literacy problems cannot generally be solved just by shoving more facts at people but I really wish more people understood that the entire purpose and mechanism of a vaccine is to educate your OWN immune system, making it about the most "natural" medical intervention possible

“Young people are always on their phones” I post, shortly after paying for parking on the app. I follow the route on Maps to the shop I browsed online earlier and consult my shopping list on Notes before paying by card on my phone, regularly checking whatsapp for updates about where we’re meeting…

Hi gang!

My brothers Mom is visiting from Africa and and I want to make Chouchoux for her.

I regret to inform you that Starmer’s been tweeting dehumanising videos of migrants again.

These videos have been shown to increase support for Reform, by increasing salience of migration.

He has to go.

Let me repeat it! 👇🏼👇🏽👇🏾👇🏼👇🏽

People around the world should be way more concerned about the power the U.S. has over their governments

If your characters are compelling, the plot engaging, the pacing tight, the emotion authentic, and the story concept strong, none of the so-called rules matter. The only thing that does is how your story plays on the page. #screenwriting #scriptsky

‘Gross abuse of state power’: defiance grows over UK ban on Palestine protest group More than 200 have been arrested for alleged support of Palestine Action – and hundreds more are expected to protest on Saturday At 81, Deborah Hinton, a former British magistrate who was honoured by the late Queen Elizabeth II for services to the community, seems an unlikely terrorist suspect. In the quiet town in south-west England where she lives, much of her retirement is spent walking along the cliffs, raising funds for the nearby cathedral choir, and supporting local charities. But last month she was detained in a police cell for seven hours, fingerprinted and had a DNA swab taken from her mouth. It was the first time she had ever been arrested, and the experience left her “in a state of trauma” and “shaking uncontrollably”. She could face a jail sentence of six months under UK terrorism legislation. Continue reading...

John Wick Spinoff Ballerina Stumbles, Landing Lionsgate With $94M Quarterly Net Loss

A disappointing performance from John Wick spinoff Ballerina has left TV and movie production company Lionsgate facing a $94 million quarterly net loss.

Anybody who actually lives in NYC (and doesn’t pay $8300 a month) knows rent controlled apartments rent for hundreds of dollars — not thousands.

They also become DECONTROLLED if you move out of them.

it’s basically trite to note at this point but if this were any other president, and certainly a democrat, spending a ton of money to gild the white house would be a legit scandal

This is the reason I don't believe there are any "good or moral" billionaires....they shouldn't exist.

All true. And they wouldn't even feel it, not one bit. That level of greed is so incomprehensible to me.

and if they wrote a decent check in the first place << for living wages >> a lot of people could have avoided it in the first place.
