You’ll never guess how the IDF decided to talk about killing these two kids, 8 and 11 years old, in its official statement
Two brothers killed in Israeli drone strike on Gaza
Fadi Abu Assi, 11, and Goma Abu Assi, eight, were gathering firewood at the time, their uncle said.

It's deffo important to be visible but I'm really looking forward to the bigger and more important campaign aimed at getting drivers to slow down and be vigilant. Caution is required when driving and I see very little of it. People drive as if nothing unexpected will ever happen.
👀 Can you see me now?
The importance of visibility on our roads cannot be understated, particularly for vulnerable road users including pedestrians, cyclists, e-scooter drivers and motorcyclists.

I'm all for road safety but you could have every cyclist in the land wearing a full suit of Christmas lights and drivers fucking around on their phones will still knock them down

A report of senior Garda concern about Government members' rhetoric is unprecedented I think. And entirely justified. #Arson
🚨Garda warning:
"Harris's comments were supported by the Taoiseach and Paschal Donohoe, the finance minister.
However, senior gardai are understood to be concerned by the
rhetoric coming from the government on immigration because of the challenges in policing rising tensions over the issue."

I’m off to Ireland later this week for my final solo poetry shows of the year.
Incredibly, there are still tickets left – especially for the Dublin show (I hope my performance there last year hasn’t put you off from coming again) – so please spread the word!

Watching the Bibi & Don Show treat this like some grand victory, while people returning to northern Gaza dig the rubble for loved ones' remains, is pretty revolting.
