It's official. The new Prime Minister of Israel is Gadi Eisenkot. The leader of Netanyahu's wars, the "brain" behind Israel's "danish doctrine', the man who launched airstrikes on women and children for decades. God help us.

Email from the British Library. "Next year we’ll also begin work on repurposing our Science and Social Sciences Reading Rooms to become a flexible workspace and generate a new revenue stream." I'm sorry, what?

When we first started this project some years ago, we only knew a couple of people, one of them was @RabbiJeffx - (back then he ran under a different name) He found us when our account was still small, and was always asking how he can help. He was one of he few people out there that had an euqal level of shock and alarm at what Israel was doing to children. Over the years we watched him morph into one of the most entertaining accounts on X, which provided much needed comic relief to hundreds of thousands of people during these dark times. His account has become an unstoppable force of nature, and no amount of platform banning is able to stop him. What people don't know about Jeff is how nice of a guy he is. Under all that humor and parody is a man with strong set of morals who is on a singular mission to punish those who commit crimes against children. We could not wish for better allies in this fight. May god bless him on his mission.

Former Asda driver here. That’s the ambient compartment and having it open is doing no harm. The freezer & chiller compartments are closed and are insulated. They will stay cold enough while they’re closed and the engine isn’t running. Don’t be a prick.
🚨Asda driver parks outside a house, opens the refrigerated van, then spends time on a prayer mat while the food sits there. If your delivery is late and warm, this is why.

“What kind of complete madness is it to charge someone with terrorism and then put him on a bus with other people?” A man arrested on terror charges for supporting Palestine Action was transported by police on a public London bus while it was operating its usual route. Blind and a wheelchair user, Mike Higgins was reportedly difficult for police to transport because his wheelchair would not fit on standard police ramps, Defend Our Juries told The New Arab.

I'm literally sick to my stomach. I said the same last year as we watched Starmer lay a wreath. WE'RE ARMING AND ENABLING A FUCKING GENOCIDE. What are we doing?? This is just theatre.

This is an example of something we could fund if @RichParkerLab brings in a visitor levy. It would contribute to the long term future of our vast civic collections with money left over to support grassroots cultural activities without costing local residents a penny.

The UK taxpayer enormously subsidises museums and galleries in London, Leeds, Manchester, and Liverpool. But the UK taxpayer quite infamously does not subsidise museums and galleries in cities like Birmingham, Sheffield, and Bristol.

A Coventry City fan has donated this commemorative 1987 medal to the family of Bradley Lowery, as an apology for what happened at the CBS Arena when Sunderland visited last week. The person who donated the medal believes the family could run a raffle in order to raise funds for the Bradley Lowery Foundation. After getting the gift, Bradley's family took to social media to say: "This unbelievable donation arrived in the post to us this week, and it has me truly speechless. To donate something so special purchased by someone so important, is so selfless and kind This donation did not arrive with a contact address so if this is from you, please let us know❤" Which ever Coventry fan donated this medal, you are a complete legend 👏🏻
