An aerial photo shows three diggers excavating the ground for graves. More than 65 graves are already dug. Those not yet dug are marked out by chalk.

Not a single US newspaper will publish this photo. No news channel will broadcast it.

The graves are being prepared for more than 80 young children killed in the US/Israeli strike on the school in Minab, Iran on Saturday.

Bannon, Epstein, Farage and Johnson and the Plot to 'Topple' Theresa May The far-right former Trump adviser told Jeffrey Epstein that "we are overthrowing May right now" as he worked with Boris Johnson to remove the then Conservative Prime Minister from office

The Epstein files grant us a rare glimpse into the kind of machinations that must be happening all the time. As @bylinetimes.bsky.social reveals, Trump's fixer, Steve Bannon, helped Boris Johnson overthrow Theresa May. Blatant foreign interference in our politics. 🧡

My dad bought me bulbs and compost and we planted these in November with freezing stiff hands as it hailed. He was over from England, visiting me because I was in the midst of a mental health crisis. An act of faith and I’m doing much better now.

Love is a doing word I went to see the doctor in November about my mental health.

β€œI used to believe things would eventually work out, somehow. What’s for you won’t pass by you and all that. I’m not so sure anymore, but if that sounds hopeless, it’s not. We have to make things happen. I have to make things happen.”

Stop Palantir taking over our public services! Our public services aren’t for a secretive profit-hungry US tech firm. Sign the petition to tell the Government to scrap all contracts with secretive US tech firm Palantir.

This morning I posted our petition to get Palantir out of our NHS and our public services.

Over 40,000 people have now signed it - thank you.

Please do keep sharing!

NI studies live facial recognition tech use by U.K. police.

NI studies live facial recognition tech use by U.K. police.

This should not be a police decision. Given evidenced secretive and unethical use of tech by PSNI already, this is amounts to an assault on ECHR rights, an undermining of civil rights in a β€˜post-conflict’ region and an abandonment of any notion of β€˜police reform’ post Good Friday Agreement.

Sir Ian McKellen performing a monologue from Shakespeare’s Sir Thomas More on the Stephen Colbert show. Never have I heard this monologue performed with such a keen sense of prescience. Nor have I ever been in this exact historical moment.TY Sir Ian, for reaching us once again.

It's rare to see how lobbyists operate. But the Epstein-Mandelson correspondence shows us what happens all the time: plutocrats and government ministers conspiring against the public interest. This is why all lobbying should be in the public domain, but despite Labour and Con promises, it's not. 🧡

Marginalia and l’esprit de l’escalier When things don't go to plan

Marginalia. Lovely, fancy, flirty word that one. Sounds like a flouncy flower. Or an STD. I’ve got a terrible case of marginalia, it’s bloody everywhere. I’m covered in it.

A sea scene with a cloudy sky in County Down

A sea scene with a cloudy sky in County Down

The sea was quiet today, telling me to be quiet. Not quite mirror still, the sound was a gentle swell-rocking like hushing a held bairn on the edge of sleep.
