On this day in 2005, Anthony Walker, 18, died after he was chased from a bus stop in Merseyside & murdered in a racist & unprovoked attack. The teenager was savagely attacked with an ice axe and left to die at a park entrance.
Rest in peace Anthony Walker 🙏🏾🕊️
Boy George announcing thar he's leaving Twitter forever only to come back 5 days later with a white reggae pro-Israel song written by AI is like being thrown out of a restaurant for being drunk & then storming back in shouting "AND ANOTHER THING..." and then shitting your pants

Jason is the youngest Black professor in Cambridge’s history. Rightwing newspapers are trying to smear him with fake accusations of plagiarism. We can't let them. Stand up to their hate and division by adding your name. https://t.co/oGklvUxhvb
I feel that when discussing the situation with Féile an Phobail, it's important to emphasise the fact that this is a community arts group based out of one of the most impoverished areas in Ireland being sued by a literal billionaire.
Barrister Rajiv Menon KC is facing potentially two-years in prison for doing his job. This has never happened in British legal history.

@LizKershawDJ What a CUNTISH thing to say. She has undergone a double mastectomy after losing her sister to breast cancer. A woman's worth is not measured by the fit of her dress, the shape of her body, or whether strangers on social media approve of her appearance. Do better.
The British embassy in Jerusalem has been suspended from Twitter today for posting this Tweet revealing how Israel breaks the law.
They silence everybody for criticises them.
I brought the "upskirting law" into affect in 2019.
Le'ts talk about that image JK Rowling shared.
She did this to humiliate artist Freda Wallace. That is a specific motivation we included in the Voyeurism Act. We fought for, and included it *specifically* because... 🧵
A sikh woman was stabbed to death as she lay sleeping with her new horn baby. 44yo Daniel Sean James has been arrested and charged.
No MSM or politician is talking about this
Let me repeat- as she lay sleeping with her new born baby.
Jo Nagai was raising swallowtail butterflies at his home in Kobe, Japan, when he noticed something odd. The ones he had looked after as caterpillars seemed to recognize him. Wild butterflies fled. His didn't.
He was in second grade. He wrote a four-page letter to Dr. Martha Weiss, an entomologist at Georgetown University who had studied whether moths could retain memories through metamorphosis. He asked if she could help him design a version of her experiment for butterflies.
She said yes.
Using a muscle therapy device, Jo trained caterpillars to associate the scent of lavender with a mild vibration. When the caterpillars became butterflies, 70 per cent of them still avoided the lavender. Their brains had been completely rebuilt during metamorphosis. The memory survived anyway.
Then he bred them.
The offspring, which had never been trained, also avoided lavender. So did their grandchildren. Without ever experiencing the vibration, two generations of butterflies inherited an aversion to a scent their grandmother had been taught to fear.
Jo documented it all in a 33-page research paper and presented his findings at the International Congress of Entomology in Kobe in 2024. He was 10.
A second grader wrote a letter to a Georgetown professor, and together they found evidence that butterflies can pass memories down through generations.
