Kids with arms and legs like stick and those big hollow eyes. This isn't crop failure or even lack of food. It's the deliberate denial of food by a national government, at what point do they get sanctioned and deposed by the international community?

Hey, BBC 1 just had a weather forecast from a woman wearing sensible shoes, not the nine inch stilettoes every other female forecaster seems to wear.

This is an atrocious decision, as it is presented, and The Guardian is a reasonably reliable source. I suggest lots of reposts at the very least; who is your MP?

I wanted to read about the Wisconsin election, The NYT put up so many hoops for me to jump through I gave up and read about it in the Guardian instead.

Why does the BBC tell me 15 people were shot by Israel when every other news source tells me 15 paramedics were executed in cold blood?

Some good news, Lariocidin, a new peptide based generation of antibiotics is being developed by McMasters and Illinois universities. Now, just so long as they can get there before Trump and Kennedy totally defund them and shut them down ...

"Secure on line group chat" When will they realise that 'Secure on line' is an oxymoron? Never mind accidentally including journalists.

"The volcano turned his brain to glass." How? Turned a basically hydro-carbon structure into a silicon based one? I bet they would say, "Well, we're simplifying it". I would say "No, you're lying, either because you don't know what happened, or you can't be bothered to explain properly."

Looking at pictures of North Gaza I was reminded of the Jerry Cornelius books of my youth, where the greater state of Israel had liberated the cities of Europe with high explosive and napalm. It seemed like total fantasy, I used to sign into clubs as Jerry Cornelius.
