Just witnessed clear use of excessive force on a child by @Luas private security thugs on an almost empty Charlemont platform, while being verbally abusive to a bystander who was vocally concerned about their behaviour. Absolutely revolting justification of unnecessary violence.

[Jairo I. Fúnez-Flores @Jairo_I_Funez]

Colonialism and genocide are always accompanied by epistemicide. This is the video and evidence of Israel’s bombing of Al-Azhar University—Gaza. I can only imagine how much knowledge and history was immediately lost.

[Naji Bakhti @anajibakhti]

Every university in the world should be condemning this.

Staying silent now, and waxing lyrical about 'decolonising the curriculum' later, is all-round moral cowardice.

At a hotel I accidentally tapped my debit card against my door instead of my room key. I suddenly realized there will 100% be a future where you only access your room by micro transaction. Upgrade to Hotel+ for unlimited door access.
