@GoAheadIreland @TFIupdates Grand, and as I had to get a taxi to work since I couldn't wait for almost an hour, where do I send the receipt for reimbursement.

[TheDevilYouKnow @Not_Galeano]

@GoAheadIreland I'm at stop 228 the 104 hasn't turned up. The app has been stuck on 5 mins for the last fifteen minutes. People, including me, are trying to get to work. Please no cancelled for operation reason insult.

[TheDevilYouKnow @Not_Galeano]

@GoAheadIreland It's one bus an hour, how is that acceptable. How do I make a formal complaint please.

This is how Belfast looks on my femicide map.

Each of the ~1,000 pins is for a woman or girl murdered in Belfast between 1900 - 2025.

Almost all of them murdered by men and mostly by the type of men who were strolling around Belfast tonight wrecking their own city. /1

Alleged attempted murder on Kinnaird Avenue is, quote, "what happens when you import the Third World into British streets."

That would be the same Kinnaird Avenue where Frances Murray (37) & Joseph Dutton (47) both stabbed to death on December 23rd, 2019.

By a Belfast man.

Ian Wright is an absolute hero for saying how we all feel about this World Cup…

“I've just read that the Somalian referee has been denied entry. Every few hours it's another story, another story about fans denied, players denied, officials denied, journalists denied, now refs," Wright said.

"You know something I'm laughing but it's not funny, it's actually not funny and something has to be said.

"The expensive tickets, the most expensive tickets ever, expensive accommodation, transport through the roof. It has to be said.

"Is this how the hosts behave really for the greatest game, the greatest tournament in the world, is this how the hosts behave?

"Are we not hearing more? Are we seeing how Qatar got dragged, are we not hearing more? Is this the spirit of football, really?

"You know who I feel for? I feel for the American fans who are desperate for this, American soccer fans who are desperate for this, how embarrassed they must be. How embarrassing for them this must be.

"This is the World Cup, this is a World Cup of chaos. Whoever wins this World Cup is going to have to go through some serious chaos to get this done.

"I hope we can do it, but something has to be said now. This is the World Cup."

The World Cup and domestic violence: Major football tournaments unite millions in celebration, but they can also coincide with a rise in violence against women...

[Richard Dawkins @RichardDawkins]

This unqualified bore says his secondhand opinions are “not up for debate.” Yes they are. At a university all opinions are up for debate. If you cannot defend your opinions rationally, either they are indefensible or you are too stupid to defend them. In either case you have no right to force them on students who have expressed their wish to attend a lecture by doing so.

The idea that Arsenal became a cultural phenomenon because it signed Black players is too simplistic.

Like much of London, Arsenal positioned itself as a club that extended belonging towards the margins. Not racial margins alone, but the margins of football's imagination.

Kanu arrived after heart surgery that could have ended his career. Bergkamp arrived carrying the weight of a disappointing spell at Inter. Henry arrived as a talented but unsettled player still searching for his place. Kolo Touré was potential before proof. Arteta arrived as a midfielder many thought was entering decline, only to be entrusted with the captaincy. Wenger himself was a foreign manager challenging the assumptions of English football.

The pattern was not diversity for its own sake. It was recognition before validation.

Arsenal repeatedly seemed willing to see people not simply as they were, but as they could become. It trusted before consensus arrived. It built a reputation for offering a second chance, a fresh start, or a path to fulfilment where others saw limitation, uncertainty, or decline.

That is why former players, injured players, and out-of-contract players so often found their way back to Arsenal. The club developed a reputation for treating people as more than their immediate utility.

Representation matters. But recognition creates loyalty.

People did not just see players who looked like them. They saw an institution that appeared willing to enlarge its definition of who belonged.

Now that Gaza lies in ruins—shattered, like a beloved face after a long brutality—Israel moves with a terrible confidence to the next act: The act of leaving every soul there not merely wounded, but permanently disabled. Injured, sick, hungry, homeless, without work, without hope. This is not war’s collateral damage. This is design.

As my friend Gideon Levy writes—and he knows, he knows—this is the prelude to expulsion. Think of it: a society without teachers, without doctors, without social workers, without engineers, without clerks. That is not a society. That is a holding pen. A slow erasure. And when nothing functions—no school, no hospital, no office, no heart—then it becomes ‘easy,’ they tell themselves, to scatter the people to the four corners of the earth. Like seeds from a broken pod, except no soil will take them.

We must name this. Not with rage alone, though rage is honest. But with the cold, clear tears of recognition: they are making life impossible so that departure becomes the only ‘choice.’ And the world watches, adjusts its spectacles, and calls for restraint. Restraint! There is no restraint in a slow drowning.

[J.K. Rowling @jk_rowling]

When you tell a woman she must pretend a man is a woman, you’re asserting the right to control her speech and perception of reality, while also trivialising and devaluing her female-specific experience. You’re asking her to agree that ‘woman’ is a concept men can embody at will.

A video of a Dutch policeman throwing a heavily pregnant woman to the ground has caused outrage. The woman says police attacked her at a migration centre where authorities had detained her Palestinian husband.
