Od dwóch lat Palestyna przewija się w nagłówkach prasowych i w dyskusjach. Ale o czym w ogóle mówimy, kiedy mówimy „Palestyna”? To był nasz pierwszy redakcyjny impuls do pracy nad numerem o kulturze palestyńskiej. Zależało nam, żeby spróbować ją zobaczyć w całej jej różnorodności i złożoności.

‘Spinach loses three-quarters of its vitamin C after a week spent stored in plastic in the fridge. It may still look and smell OK – which is a marvel in itself – but it is not fresh in the sense that newly picked spinach is.’ @kitchenbee.bsky.social on refrigeration: www.lrb.co.uk/the-paper/v4...

The online Settled Status system works so well that I just had to spend 10 minutes at the airline check-in desk trying to prove my immigration status to someone who had never heard of Settled Status by frantically logging into a website on my phone (thank god I have roaming here) 👍 Very efficient!

Sure, TFL, just cancel all Elizabeth and Heathrow Express trains to Heathrow until 10am at the last minute due to “delays to engineering works”; I’m sure it will be completely fine.

When will Govt learn you can’t out-Reform Reform - you end up simply legitimising their toxic narrative. To see off populists, Labour needs to invest in public services & local communities, making a real difference to people’s lives - levy a wealth tax & use it to improve people’s lives now

Why “Cambridge”? ALL unis. I understand this is an interview with the VC of Cambridge, but this kind of exceptionalism -typical of Oxbridge- is really unnecessary, esp. at a time when many unis are struggling to stay afloat. PhDs across the country are doing valuable research; Oxbridge is not unique

In the last two academic years, 2022/2024, at least 17,600 jobs have been lost in UK Higher Education. 2024/2025 is set to be far worse. Had this been any other industry there would be outrage and gov action. As ever, young people don't count and neither do university workers. Labour doesn't care.

Elon Musk has shared this fake E! News video on X, which claims USAID has paid millions to Hollywood celebrities to visit Ukraine. The clip, now community noted, is the work of a well-known Russian disinformation campaign that creates fake videos of news outlets to push anti-Ukrainian narratives.

It’s pretty bad that the Letby case seems to have been taken on by the right: the Telegraph, UnHerd, Tory politicians… Weaponising this case for political gain will have terrible consequences.

Ok, well, the lack of response to this is making me rethink my choices. It’s hard not to come to the conclusion that the personal ties of many Commons members to the GS have a negative effect on the union, so I’ll be taking this into account when voting.
