The ruins of Irpin’s House of Culture were the poignant backdrop to a performance of Chopin’s nocturnes by the Lithuanian pianist Darius Mažintas on April 26. #UkraineRussia

@JaguarUK And this helps fight climate change how, specifically? How do you look the next generation in the eye and say, well, yes it was dreadful for climate, but "it sounded exciting". Its pathetic, frankly.

Thanks again to @erinbrockovich for this clear summary of @Chevron's long history of abusing the law to evade paying for its "Amazon Chernobyl" disaster in Ecuador. Please spread this around. https://t.co/bly6akyhgf

Lords sought to limit the contribution from homeowners at £250 towards rectifying building/fire safety issues that were the fault of the developer.
Big corporations not happy with that.
Govt opposed the move.
Unfortunately, govt won the vote 209-187.

Twilight of Democracy: The Police, Crime, Sentencing and Courts Bill has given UK govt powers to criminalize protesters because they are "too noisy".
Even one-person silent protest would be criminalized if crowds gather.
Police didn't want these powers.

Powerful report

[The Mehdi Hasan Show @MehdiHasanShow]

We’ve covered the global rise of the far-right on this show for some time. But if you think Le Pen and Orban are dangerous, let @mehdirhasan tell you a little about India's prime minister, Narendra Modi:

@Mikeachim Luxury. Try typing machine code onto the hot pads of the ZX81... (didn't put me off, I started out as a mainframe programmer)

.@MrsNickyClark I saw this and thought of you. Surely most widows, not all, would have a touch of grey? Yes it's a very stylised graphic but another example of the focus on youth 🙄

1. This is a story from #Mariupol about one woman’s journey into the heart of darkness. Her name is Anastasia and she is 23. Hers is a story of duty, loyalty and love in the midst of the appalling onslaught of war.

[Auschwitz Memorial @AuschwitzMuseum]

At 10 years old, Vanda Semyonovna Obiedkova survived the Germans by hiding in a basement in Mariupol.
81 years later, she died in a basement in the same city as a victim of the horrific war hiding from the Russians.

#Mariupol looks like now.
The occupiers are dropping heavy bombs on #Azovstal, and are also conducting chaotic fire from tanks and artillery on the residential sector.

@_alice_evans As most my time teaching, the few conferences I've been to (all CSEAR now I think of it) have been very useful for contacts to tap externals for programme approval panels etc. I've *only* been teaching post PhD. Covid, lack of conferences, constrained network. But yes v £/time.

@lastpositivist Not all universities, to coin a phrase. Mine is Edinburgh Napier, I've had 10hrs on supervision thus far, have a couple of hrs on examining coming up, and other events through the year.

[Adrian Gregory @AdrianGregory20]

Incredible that this situation isn’t even a news story anymore.

[The Secret Barrister 🦋 @BarristerSecret]

Deliberately misleading by the Ministry of Justice.

New cases into the courts are down, due to the blockage earlier in the criminal justice system caused by Mr Cartlidge’s cuts.

Victims are waiting longer than ever.

Four years on average in rape trials.

Difficult to watch, we can't turn away.

These are the children this war has taken. They have names. They had futures. The war in Ukraine is stolen childhood on an unimaginable scale.

STOP WHAT YOU ARE DOING AND WATCH THIS MOMENT FROM THE ONE SHOW

The statistics are shocking

[Mehdi Hasan @mehdirhasan]

So folks have been comparing the weird @GMB morning show interview with the climate activist in the UK with *that* scene from #DontLookUp.

So we at the @MehdiHasanShow put them side by side & the results are.. astounding. Reality mirroring art!

Watch:
