Lifehack: stop being how you are
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.

π€£ Me in the pub later: I'll have a pint of billionaire's tears please mate.
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. π§΅

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 Iβm doing much better now.

And go again

βI used to believe things would eventually work out, somehow. Whatβs for you wonβt pass by you and all that. Iβm not so sure anymore, but if that sounds hopeless, itβs not. We have to make things happen. I have to make things happen.β

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.
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 βpost-conflictβ region and an abandonment of any notion of βpolice reformβ post Good Friday Agreement.

Sir Ian McKellen performing a monologue from Shakespeareβs 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.

Big day: Ministers to crackdown on profiteering in care sector and make renewed fostering push

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. π§΅

Marginalia. Lovely, fancy, flirty word that one. Sounds like a flouncy flower. Or an STD. Iβve got a terrible case of marginalia, itβs bloody everywhere. Iβm covered in it.

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.

This is exactly the kind of major news I want in my life.
