But the Molly Malone statue...!

Iran school and nearby military base struck multiple times, satellite image reveals Iranian authorities say the attack, which took place on Saturday, killed 168 people.

BBC Verify has pieced together verified videos, satellite imagery and expert views after a deadly attack near a primary school in Minab, souther Iran, which suggest the area was hit more than once "by multiple simultaneous or near-simultaneous strikes".

The press corps is refusing to accept the Republicans' characterization of the Iran war as anything but a war.

We wrote this report with the OTB in mind, but it equally helps explain the Govnt's refusal to condemn the illegal US-Israel bombing of Iran.

AG finds that a requirement for surveillance cameras monitoring areas where fishing boats handle/discard fish is a proportionate restriction of rights to privacy and data protection. Interesting discussion of standard of review, privacy issues in workplace, and safeguards (especially anonymisation).

excellent deep dive into all of the ways that the Trump administration has used the federal budget to keep punishing critics and trying to bend them to his will. FWIW, this is precisely how Viktor Orban crushed the opposition in Hungary 15 years ago. The national budget is a powerful weapon.

@griptmedia The Dublin Women's Mini Marathon is not just for the old-fashioned women any more - from this year the new upgraded modern form of woman will also be permitted to take part:

@Sen...' 21h Give me strength. Absolute cowards on women's rights. Move to @LayaHealthcare #ProtectWomensSports #SingleSexSpaces @Vi Martin X Vhi Women's Mini Marathon Terms & Conditions 2026 The hi Women's Mini Marathon is a women's event, and anyone who identifies as a woman is welcome to take part. We have a strong diversity and inclusion agenda, and welcome women of all ages and levels of fitness in a positive and non-judgemental manner.

The fact that Andrew Tate doesn't read books should make you want to read books harder.

"Why won't anyone date me?"

Read more books, motherfucker. It's never been easier. Listen to audiobooks.

Calling states "red" and "blue" based on presidential results not only ignores the partisanship of other statewide votes but also ignores how lousy those descriptors are at the presidential level.

I think people pointed out years ago that genAI would be weaponized by governments and used to justify war crimes, because once you outsource mass civilian death to a machine, you can just say the machine made a mistake. Israel & the US have been bombing children non-stop for 2+ years.

Gen Z men twice as likely as baby boomers to believe wives should obey husbands Global survey shows young men hold more traditional views about gender roles than older generations

😵‍💫 '24% of gen Z men think women should not appear too independent or self-sufficient, compared with 12% of baby boomer men' but also 'gen Z men were also the group most likely to believe women who have a successful career were more attractive to men' www.theguardian.com/world/2026/m...
