Earlier this year, The Lancet placed average life expectancy in Gaza at 40.5 years. I’ll be turning 40 later this month. If you would normally have got me a pint, or if you feel minded to help me mark a so-called ‘big birthday’ then please donate whatever you would have spent on me to MAP instead

I've never considered myself particularly religious, but I've become increasingly convinced of the truth of a thing we might call a soul; primarily through my reading and study, but also from being made to bear witness to the behaviours of people whose have clearly deposed and abandoned their own.

I know, with absolute certainty, that if it was a church, or a temple, or any other place of worship other than a mosque that had been set on fire *whilst people were inside it* then there is no way the literal Home Secretary would be tweeting out “could have been worse”.

Should you feel so inclined you can find me on an account I have already locked before I’ve done even one post

Because I have a crippling social media addiction I now have an upscrolled account

Oh, it "would appear" so, yeah?

Either it took the pigs a full day to realise they'd shot two people or they deliberately withheld this information from the public so they could manage the media fallout. You can decide which of those makes them look worse.

Do not come to me with your stories of ‘farm dogs’

Why is the expression “worked like a dog” taken to mean that you’ve worked really hard when every dog I have ever encountered has a life of nice walks, treats & naps

To be cool and sexy this autumn you must get a flu jab (& Covid if eligible) and start taking your vitamin D

Today I am full of sadness, in a manner intimately and immanently bound to my politics, something that only becomes more constant (which I cannot stand), but I am tired of having my belief in the sanctity of all human life exploited at whim by a politics which violently refuses that same sanctity.

It is not a coincidence that this AI ‘actress’ is presented to us as female, because it is the misogynist’s ideal. She’ll do & say whatever you want, and won’t do anything gross or irritating like bleed, or answer back, or get sick, or have opinions or emotions, or want paying for her labour

The signs were there that this is where we’d end up when so-called AI first started being widely available and weird, creepy men used it to create images of women with unfeasibly large tits and waists no bigger than my wrist

Making *Saudi* royals laugh for buckets of money

I do enjoy this argument when it’s about working for fucking BAE Systems rather than, y’know, occasionally buying a diet coke

🚨 Our new investigation out today reveals how thousands of people who've taken their bosses to employment tribunals & won, never got paid, even after they approached the government for help.

This has serious implications for the Employment rights bill.

It is really quite something for people in the UK to be ‘critiquing’ the call for a General Strike across Italy on Friday. Oh you think this is ‘timid’ and what is needed is wildcat action? How’s it going organising the wildcat action in your UK workplace, huh?

Remember to say thank you MA’AM rather than SIR when she shoots you in the head

Yeah really reassuring

That’s fucking rank

Israel is deliberately blocking this aid from reaching millions of people they are intentionally starving in the midst of a genocide—funded by your tax dollars—and illegally kidnapping people who try to help.

"With regard to one who says: I will sin and Yom Kippur will atone for my sins, Yom Kippur does not. For sins bw a person & God, Yom Kippur atones; however, for harm bw a person & another, *Yom Kippur does not atone until [the harmdoer] appeases the other person*." (Mishnah Yoma 8:9)

Less ‘oooh-oooh-ah-ah’, more ‘oooh-oooh-uuuhh-uuuhh’

Coming to a cinema near you this October, probably
