Likes Proust. Who knew? Good on wine. Better on geopolitics? Looks on bright side even when dark.

BREAKING: SOUTH AFRICA FOREIGN MINISTER OFFICIAL STATEMENT

“We bear responsibility for what is happening in Gaza based on the principle of international solidarity. We worked hard to ensure the implementation of temporary measures to prevent genocide in the Gaza Strip.

Israel must take quick measures to bring aid into the Gaza Strip. The decision of the International Court of Justice is a success for international law and a step toward justice for the Palestinian people.”

And, I hope, drink some gin.

[Otto English @Otto_English]

Anyway - happy independence day - might got on a fantasy walk in honour of Lord Hannan of Fantasy Island and buy some gin

she stopped applying for permits once the pandemic started & decided she would start a business as an arabic instructor. she started teaching via zoom to ppl globally.

now she is in rafah, the college she learned english in was bombed and she wonders if she will survive. again.

And Gaza is far more densely populated. War crimes are happening right there - and in the West Bank. What are we, and that includes me, going to do about it? Action time.

[Alonso Gurmendi @Alonso_GD]

As I read the @guardian article on the scale of destruction in Gaza, just out of curiosity, I used @truesizeof to superimpose the Guardian map on top of a to-scale map of London. I am sure others can do a better job than me, but I felt I had to share this bc just look at this...

[Robin Shannan not-a-spelling-mistake @rtxproust]

Think that's true. But, like Zanche, you can be beautiful and intelligent.

[Joyce Carol Oates @JoyceCarolOates]

Asked if she would rather be beautiful or highly intelligent Zanche opted for highly intelligent with the comment—“Beauty is overrated.”

Including 4 minutes of ads/trailers.

[Robin Shannan not-a-spelling-mistake @rtxproust]

Zanche looks a bit too intelligent.

[Joyce Carol Oates @JoyceCarolOates]

T***p looking for lawyers for his appeal(s)! assuming no law degrees or experience are required, Zanche would love to apply.

2/2 Black British undergraduate applicants who've been accepted for any course there are eligible. We are particularly keen for students of Caribbean extraction to apply. More info in the link below. https://t.co/RtourWqHmt.

I’ve known Dennis Skinner for 50 years and heard him thousands of times. Of course, he was a class warrior - and proud of it. He didn’t sell out, but nor did he step up to what he might have achieved. A pity, a brave & clever man

[Kenneth Roth @KenRoth]

UNRWA says it will punish any employee who aided Hamas. Why are Western governments punishing the Palestinian civilians of Gaza by suspending funds to UNRWA at a time when Israel's bombing and siege have left them wholly dependent on humanitarian aid? https://t.co/tuada5fYa3

Second point here is critical. The current funding model means that a big drop in international students means unis go bankrupt not that space opens up for UK students.

[Robert Ford @robfordmancs]

Firstly, as many are pointing out, foundation courses are not same thing as standard courses. This is not an apples for apples comparison.
Secondly, if anyone imagines cutting overseas student intakes wld free up spaces for UK students, they don't understand uni finances at all

Who'll be brave enough to play Trump?

Who should play E. Jean Carroll in the feature biopic?

Yep.

Oh for God's sake ....
If Nancy Pelosi can't understand why people are calling for a #ceasefire, she shouldn't be in office.

[Robin Shannan not-a-spelling-mistake @rtxproust]

The state of Israel is determined to show its intent to destroy Gaza. And the international order for human welfare and rights. Let us seek the common good.

[Middle East Eye @MiddleEastEye]

"It will be impossible to win the war if we do not destroy Unrwa, and this destruction must begin immediately"

Earlier this month on 4 January, Noga Arbell, a former Israeli official, called for the destruction of Unrwa during a discussion in the Israeli parliament.

Dumpling is Scottish for nincompoop. Well named.

[Robin Shannan not-a-spelling-mistake @rtxproust]

Unbelievable or it should be. What has happened to the moral conscious of the West. Gone west I guess.

[Nesrine Malik @NesrineMalik]

Not sure if this is cynical desperation or just being so deep in the corporatisation of politics you just cannot fathom that people would simply care about something without being paid for it

@Sime0nStylites @IanDunt Only if 39,870 of those are just the word "woke."
