Buildings holding political prisoners are tonight on fire to the sound of gun shots... my heart breaks at the reality of the evil of the regime oppressing the Iranian people tonight and for a generation.

@RianTreanor @FinnMcCorry @NTSlive Is this available to listen back too?

[Ben Robinson @RobinsonBoone]

@RianTreanor @festival_no One of my favourite human beings! So ace to see him on tour over here, respect to you @RianTreanor. Out of the country next week, so gutted not to catch this live.

On @JustStop_Oil's Van Gogh soupy Sunflowers protest:
1. No harm was done to the painting.
2. A lot of harm is being done to the climate.
2. Not a masterpiece of the protest-form, but experimental Van Gogh would probably have enjoyed it

Utterly bewildering Govt attack on solar farms. Solar is a win-win for energy & food security - it's *9 times cheaper* than climate-wrecking oil & gas (and much faster to deploy too), and fields with solar panels can still produce food. Who's behind these nonsensical Govt plans?

[Guffers @gavmacn]

Wait a minute, we’re supposed to NOT detest the people that caused this?

Pls share. There's a little known benefit for grandparents who look after their grandchildren while parents work.

If ur a parent of an under 12, if your parent (ie childs grandparent) do childcare so you can work, u can apply to get em "Specified Adult Childcare Credit"

Animal Collective cancel upcoming European shows - the live music sector is becoming impossible for musicians to navigate...

@Eric_Biggz @Reuters ‘Our piece stare is just as bad’ was your comment. 19 children shit dead in the streets, women battered to death for not wearing heads scalfs properly, morality police locking women up for showing too much wrist… not comparable, a very flippant comment.

[Ben Robinson @RobinsonBoone]

@Eric_Biggz @Reuters Bit flippant mate, there’s no comparison here given the blatant murder in the streets happening to protestors. It’s important to realise this as you undermine the real struggle Iranians face.

[Omid Memarian @Omid_M]

This is what the world has come to realize. Simple and clear, but important.

US House Representative @IlhanMN: "There is no morality in oppressing women. We stand with the women and girls in Iran, chanting “Women, Life, Freedom!”

A mural created by the street artist AleXsandro Palombo shows Marge Simpson cutting her iconic hair in solidarity with Mahsa Amini.

The mural was displayed in front of the Iranian consulate in Milan, Italy. https://t.co/phDv9gSTd5

Abir Al-Sahlani, a Swedish member of the European Parliament, cut off her hair during a speech in the EU assembly in solidarity with anti-government demonstrations in Iran ignited by the death of 22-year-old Mahsa Amin. https://t.co/5w88nS9bWJ

[The New York Times @nytimes]

Mandated hijabs have long been a symbol of government power in Iran, writes Amanda Taub. "The danger of imbuing restrictions on women’s bodies with such potent political symbolism, it turns out, is that women will seize that symbolic power for themselves." https://t.co/rquJQiXrwU

[Iran International English @IranIntl_En]

Similar to case of #MahsaAmini, the Islamic Republic denied killing & even arresting her, claiming that she’d died after falling down a nearby rooftop. However, security forces stole her body and buried her secretly.
Conservatives are now warning she may turn into another Mahsa.
