There is nothing that can justify deliberate violence against non-combatants. This means that attacking Israelis at a rave is wrong, bombing Palestinian hospitals is wrong, abducting Ukrainian children is wrong, torturing Russian prisoners is wrong… In fact the nationality of…


Look up into the nightsky — feel kinship with the Cosmos. We are part of it all, made of the same stardust = the very definition of secular spirituality. We are made of atoms, all the same. Let us progress together. Seeing the stars over the Pirin Mountains, Bulgaria = 🕊❤️✨

Rufus Wainwright: ‘I call Yorkshire Gold the crystal meth of teas’. Amazing quote. Huddersfield also happens to be the top popper (amyl nitrate) maker and Yorkshire the craft beer capital, of the UK. Make of that what you will ⁦@rufuswainwrighttheguardian.com/music/2023/sep…


ToxMod seems an impressively good use of AI to make sure interactions are civil and to flag potentially toxic language — imagine a live monitor of this during talk shows and political debates. Mute incoming for Suella! cc: @mrjamesob @campbellclaret pcgamer.com/call-of-duty-e…

Insightful & heartbreaking story bringing home how #brexit is destroying small business, across all sectors but esp. in crafts, arts, artisan & food sectors

Time is money. If it takes twice as long to do something you earn half as much. This is the brutal fact at the heart of Brexit. Let’s "Brexit" a £12.99 paperback, blow by blow, and see what difference leaving the single market has made.

[Thread] I’ve noticed something odd happening in Stanley Kubrick’s The Shining. True, there’s plenty of odd things going on in The Shining, but this is really weird. 🧵 1/50

THE SHINING was released 43 years ago today. Not a huge success on its release, it has gone down as one of Stanley Kubrick’s most popular films and most influential horror movies ever made. The behind the scenes story is as outrageous as you might expect… A THREAD 1/34
