Anyway. Free Palestine and End Antisemitism. These are not remotely conflicting statements.

It is still everyday sexism. ‘Little old ladies’ is patronising and demeaning (and clichèd to boot). You can be just as sympathetic if you use language that is not demeaning and sexist.

Agree with the sentiment but why does James O’B feel the need to patronise ‘little old ladies’? Why not say ‘elderly women’ or even ‘elderly women and elderly men’? #EverydaySexism is just as irritating when it comes from the left.

‘any time a university is attacked, there should be 500 university presidents standing up together, or 1,000 boards of trustees standing up together and saying, ‘We’re in solidarity.’ And that would send such a different message.”’

‘Kennedy said: “We cannot accept language that pushes destructive gender ideology …[or] claims of a constitutional or international right to abortion …”

There is no mention of reproductive rights or gender in the declaration except in reference to specific challenges facing women.’

“In the Celtic Sea fishermen were permitted to take almost the entire remaining population of cod — 644 tonnes out of an adult population thought to weigh 645 — so long as they were caught as “bycatch” in the search for other fish.”
UK cod rationing would mean one fish supper for every 1,200 people
Scientists from the International Council for the Exploration of the Sea, have called on the government to let populations recover in 2026

Finally. Why did it take the Royal Society so long? It is not as if they were not lobbied, again and again and again, to take a principled stance on this issue.

Composer Hans Eisler is not so well known now, but worth thinking about. Before composing the East German National Anthem he fled the Nazis to the USA. A decade later he was on a plane in the other direction, hounded out by the McCarthyites as the ‘Karl Marx of music.’

It's "great" to see my employer releasing names and information about *alleged* behavior to the Trump admin, without even telling the people who've been accused what it is that they're accused of. Utterly reprehensible.
