Absolutely massive demonstration in central London today, as 100,000 people march to Downing Street in solidarity with Palestine 🇵🇸.

As the media and politicians demonise the Palestinian people, the few Palestinian voices allowed on TV are fighting back.

Here's a masterclass from @majedbamya, a Palestinian representative at the UN, pushing back at pro-Israeli questioning.

We need to hear these voices.

War crimes are happening in real time, yet our political leaders lack either the courage or the humanity to hold the Israeli government to account.

They should call for an end to the siege and the release of hostages — that is what compassion for all human life would look like.

[Michael Walker @michaeljswalker]

Israel have told 1.1 million people to leave their homes or face possible death. The Western political class still do nothing other than "Israel has the right to defend itself." Labour, Tories, and the press are all egging on war crimes.

Many many many academics want to enforce teaching only to those who already know everything or are basically the mist privileged. I'm so pleased (and disgusted of course) to see this out in the open and criticised. See also https://t.co/g9ucjHnlXM by me and @samhforbes!

'The tree. Our tree'.

Those who cut down the Sycamore Gap tree,
Have committed an act of great cruelty.
They have shown no regard for nature's grace,
And left a scar upon this sacred place.
Let those who cut down the sycamore tree,
Beware the wrath of nature, wild and free.
For their evil deed will not be forgotten.

The single most undervalued fact of linear algebra: matrices are graphs, and graphs are matrices.

Encoding matrices as graphs is a cheat code, making complex behavior simple to study.

Let me show you how!

Michael Gove scrapped the £56bn school building project in 2010 that was set to replace every single RAAC school in the UK.

He then replaced it with nothing.

Fast forward 13 years and they are all falling down.

Whose fault is it?
