Video screenshot from Reddit. Building is now a shell with flames visible in every window.

The roof has collapsed embers rise into the night sky.

The fire at Glasgow central station is utterly devastating. Shops, homes and our transport link to England are being wiped out.
I am amazed by the limited news coverage.

AI error or not, Iran school bombing is a permanent stain on America’s soul | Will Bunch A debate on AI in warfare obscures the truth about an Iran school bombing. U.S. humans are to blame for this war crime.

They had names. They had beautiful faces. And they had the same dreams as your kids - crushed when American "precision" bombs slammed into their Minab elementary school, killing 175

Don't blame AI for this. Blame the sick humans who see war as a game

My new column www.inquirer.com/opinion/iran...

They report the massacre of Arab civilians as an afterthought and ask the Iranians why they won’t simply lay down and die because they fundamentally do not conceive of Muslims as humans with lives, rights, and value, and they expect you to go along because they have contempt for you as well.

None of the Israeli war crimes and crimes against humanity, genocide included, would be possible without US support. The ongoing horrors are the fault of both Republicans and Democrats, and if Democrats want to be any different they can start by acknowledging Biden’s role in the Gaza genocide.

This is a feeble excuse. Pixar films prompt much harder conversations about death, grief, anxiety, environmental disaster, betrayal, jealousy, friendships, class, animal rights, etc, etc

There are only kinds of people in the world, those who insist that mango is the greatest fruit and maybe the greatest food on this planet and people who have never eaten a mango

This is the Israeli playbook from Gaza (and Putin's in Ukraine for that matter) and it is ultra-disturbing to see the US carry out repeated attacks on civilian infrastructure. It simply does not serve a military purpose.

Every time a woman runs for president I hear that she’s too emotional and unstable to make wartime decisions, unlike the men in charge who make really reasonable decisions like bombing kids to death, starting water wars, and poisoning the entire planet

Though it is day, the sun cannot be seen in Tehran today because of all the smoke following the US and Israel bombing Tehran's oil refineries. People on the ground describe it as armageddon. History will not forgive Reza Pahlavi, Masih Alinejad, Nazanin Boniadi, and all other "leaders" who tricked Iranians into thinking this war would set them free.

Oh my god: this is *daytime* in Tehran.

Dozens killed as Israeli special forces raid Lebanese village in search of 40-year-old remains Overnight, one Israeli operation saw at least 41 people killed and 40 injured, according to the Lebanese health ministry.

Pretty serious allegation here. "Witnesses told the BBC that the Israeli soldiers had arrived disguised in Lebanese military fatigues and used ambulances with signs of Hezbollah's Islamic Health Organization."

A lot of these warmongers live either outside the U.K. or inside the UK in gated communities that you could barely find on Google Maps. Quite a few of them will have stocks in defence companies. So they’re just sitting at home safe and increasingly richer, smugly smiling as human beings burn alive.

okay but having a kid in a Pixar movie prompts the question of where babies come from and the answer is "the parents fucked"

those complains aren't and have never been about difficult conversations with kids, it's about making life easier specifically for bigots at the expense of everyone else

Vote Green 💚

Reason number seventy bazillion and thirty-nine we should already have transitioned to renewables by now.

There is no excuse anymore. The world is burning one way or another but we can still mitigate this disaster. It’s still not too late.

It's extremely clear that the US doesn't really have an objective here except to inflict maximum pain, and attacking water supply is going to end catastrophically for the entire region. It's not just a war crime, it's approaching a crime against humanity.

While we’re at it, maybe it’s time to finally stop arming israel too?

The King is supposed to be visiting the USA *next month*. This is the definition of a diplomatic nightmare. In all seriousness, I would urge him to pull a sickie.

Boycott America ❌🇺🇸❌

Boycott Israel ❌🇮🇱❌

Do whatever you can to show you don’t support this insanity.

How democratic is the UK? The UK has a crisis of democracy

Who voted for this?

Water companies dump sewage in rivers. Execs get bonuses for destructive practices. Shareholders got £85.2bn in dividends.

6.17m people in England await 7.29m hospital appointments. 300,000 a year die prematurely.

Policies made to appease corporations and super rich.

We don’t talk enough about how morally depraved the tech industry turned out to be. Every single ounce of their self-regarding statements of values was an outright lie.

it really is just stunningly on the nose that the opening salvo to Trump’s supposed war
of liberation in Iran began with bombing a girl’s school.

if you put that in fiction people would dismiss it as being too maudlin and heavy-handed, and yet this kind of thing just keeps actually happening.

Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez: “A country that always defends human rights and international law, like Spain, earns the respect of the entire world, as has happened in recent weeks.”

US-Israeli Bombs Strike 'The Fourth School in 6 Days' in Iran: Report | Common Dreams "There are straight lines between what Israel has attempted to do… in Gaza, to completely decimate and collapse the systems that existed there, to what we are seeing in Iran," said one expert.

US-Israeli Bombs Strike 'The Fourth School in 6 Days' in Iran: Report www.commondreams.org/news/fourth-...

It's clear this is an illegal war. There's not much left to consider.

Over 1000 civilians dead, and we're letting Trump use UK bases to further his war.

Britain should stand firm against Trump's illegal warmongering, and stop these bombers landing on UK soil.

While we’re at it, maybe it’s time to finally stop arming israel too?

I hope he burns in hell.

But not before he faces the severest consequences for his murderous insanity.

That Trump repeats calls for Iran's unconditional surrender on same day he's got the defence industrial chiefs round for an emergency meeting on military supplies perfectly sums up his grasp of ends & means.

Energy insecurity. Higher bills. Exposure to catastrophic economic consequences of Trump's wars.

That's what happens when you fail to shift fast enough to renewables, and cut back on support for clean energy.

Let's cut bills & create jobs through a clean power revolution.
