When the Guardian went on strike to protest the Observer sale, I became a de facto spokesperson. Later a Tortoise employee I’d never met wrote to me to cancel my 20-year contract. No goodbye & no pay-off. This is how they now take credit for my work..but write me out of the story

Remembering Tim Whittaker, original drummer in @DeafSchoolMusic, who sadly died 30 years ago today, aged only 43. 😢I'm sure the band will be thinking of him at their 50th anniversary show in Liverpool this weekend.

30 בני אדם נהרגו עד כה מתקפות של חיל האוויר שלנו היום בעזה. למה? למה לעזאזל לתקוף בני אדם שרק מנסים שרוד, אחרי האסון המטורף שכבר המטרנו עליהם? 71 אלף הרוגים זה לא מספיק לממשלת ישראל? 20000 ילדים הרוגים זה מעט מדי לנתניהו וסמוטריץ? למה אנחנו ממשיכים להרוג אותם? ככה נראית הפסקת אש?
