I know there’s a lot of news around today - and a lot of sports news - but this is one of the greatest achievements by a British athlete, ever. I’m so happy he’s done it.

Relieved that four hostages have been released. It should not have come at the expense of at least 200 Palestinians, including children, killed and over 400 injured by Israel and allegedly foreign soldiers, while perfidiously hiding in an aid truck.
This is "humanitarian camouflage" at another level.
Israel has used hostages to legitimise killing, injuring, maiming, starving and traumatising Palestinians in Gaza. And while intensifying violence against Palestinians in the rest of the occupied territory and Israel.
Israel could have freed all hostages, alive and intact, 8 months ago when the first ceasfire and hostage exchange was put on the table. Yet, Israel refused in order to continue to destroy Gaza and the Palestinians as a people.
This is genocidal intent turned into action. Crystal clear.
War? What war? The ‘Israel-Hamas war’? Never heard of it. I am aware of the illegal occupation of Palestine and ongoing genocide of Palestinians, using the most advanced weaponry in the world funded by the US Empire to kill thousands of women and children. Do you mean that?

It’s been a mad day and I’m very upset, but I’m touched by all the support.
Don't feel sorry for rats jumping from a sinking ship.
They'll be heading up your Bank, Post Office, Lottery, Arms manufacturer, pension fund by Autumn.
Where they'll do even more damage.
Tories gonna Tory.
As you watch the Aurora this evening, it’s worth reflecting that you’re getting a rare direct glimpse of the power of Nature. Those charged particles causing the atmosphere to glow came from a sunspot complex 17 times the diameter of Earth and traveled across 90 million miles at a million miles an hour. Without our magnetic field to protect us, our atmosphere would have been lost to space long ago. Those colours in the sky are Nature reminding us that we’re very lucky to be here amidst the violence. And perhaps therefore also reminding us not to shite it all up :-)
This is the second time in as many weeks that a driver in Cornwall has ploughed their car into a pedestrian, killing them, and it's been described as a 'car crash'.
