Germany uses the excuse of the ’ceasefire’ which Israel routinely violates to sell weapons to Israel again. Israel is being rewarded for committing genocide by the country that pretends to have learned from the holocaust.

Incredibly grim stuff. At one point the Nigerian government are quoted here rebuffing Trump's claim that Christians are being targeted in their country by clarifying that no, actually, basically everyone is being targeted. But, like, Chidi that's worse gif and all that

The Covid Inquiry’s findings are devastating. So many families suffered unimaginable loss, and their experiences must never be forgotten.

We must take these findings seriously and ensure we are far better prepared for the future. My thoughts are with all those who suffered.

Kahanism is the hegemonic ideology in Israel.
Not only Ben Gvir and Smotrich - the Likud is thoroughly Kahanist, and significant pocets in the Orthodox parties are not averse to Kahanism. www.timesofisrael.com/liveblog_ent...

More reporting from the Israeli press seems to further confirm that the US has effectively taken over day to day decision making from the Israelis on Gaza— exacerbating fears in both the government and opposition that a precedent has been set for the internationalization of the Palestinian question.

I was a cellist at the Purcell School of Music...I was always told/ it was expected that I would grow into a full size cello. 4'11, size two feet, hands to match, I never did. And was told I couldn't possibly play a 3/4 size professionally

A nice, small, cello has been on my wish list for a while
A moment that changed me: I was loving life as a cellist – then something snapped in my arm
As a teenager with a scholarship to a prestigious music school, I was looking forward to a future playing Dvořák, Shostakovich and Elgar. Then came the injury that shattered my dreams
