Young lives cut short on an unimaginable scale: the 18,457 children on Gaza’s list of war dead Every name on a list compiled by health authorities in Gaza of the child victims of Israel’s offensive

This is devastating but hard to think of more important journalism. 18,457 children have been killed in Gaza (many more not accounted for). Here, The Guardian prints their names and beautiful faces and tells us what they were like before Israel stole their lives. www.theguardian.com/world/ng-int...

The cover of Adrian Edmondson’s Beserker

A huge thank you to @adrianedmondson.bsky.social for writing his life story in Beserker. The honesty is so refreshing and helpful; a must read for anyone who is, has been or knows someone who is a young man.

Talking Heads - Remain in Light album cover. Four band members with their faces blocked out in red.

Their fourth album may have been born under punches, and may still raise questions over its authorship for the band’s exceptional rhythm section – but it hangs together perfectly, and it never seems to age.

Many Happy Returns to #TalkingHeads' Remain In Light, which turns 45 today

Right now someone (probably Ben Child) will be writing a clickbait article for the Guardian which is just a list of hypotheses about the new Simpsons film based on a nothing more than random facts drawn from past episodes of The Simpsons.

In 2003 I was doing community radio and wrote to @dominorecordco.bsky.social to say how much I loved the @franzferdinandhq.bsky.social debut single, Darts of Pleasure. They kindly sent me a promo of their as yet unreleased follow up. Pretty sure this was the first copy played anywhere in Australia…

They talk about a huge sudden increase in neurodiversity, but I'm watching a #TOTP from 1979 and in this one episode alone there are *at least* 3 artists we now know have #ADHD, #autism, etc, we just didn't know it at the time.

Even on a public holiday eve Metro Trains continues to subject the people of Western Melbourne to replacement buses, as it has been all year. All people want to do is go home.

British autistic people waking up to a whole night of Trump and his bullshit, we see you, we love you. Ignore ignore ignore and just be your brilliant selves.

"There are no proven therapies or drugs that ‘cure’ autism. Most autistic people and families want research to focus on better understanding and support."

This autism announcement is more old white men telling women what they can and can’t do with their bodies because they find autism hard.

Hello from Australia where it is already tomorrow. I have bad news for all you rapture fans.

And so the politicisation of autism goes mainstream. Much love to all neurodiverse people today. We see you, we hear you and we love you for who you are x

Genuinely concerned about the damage that Trump could be about to unleash on neurodiverse people all around the world with his campaign promises of “talking in the Oval Office in the White House about autism.”

Watching aghast from afar at the rise of the wankers over there. Hope you’re coping.

Hi Sam. It’s been ages. Hope you are very well.

Really enjoying Beserker by @adrianedmondson.bsky.social and especially thrilled to learn of his youthful East Yorkshire connections. We don’t have much to boast about but knowing Eddie Hitler once walked amongst us will do for me.

But can’t see any sizing information?
