Ruby Bridges, in 2025, is still only 71(!) years old.
She’s younger than Chrissie Hynde of the Pretenders.
She’s younger than Cyndi Lauper.

Red Card Israel. Banning Israeli teams is a matter of public safety.
Not has Israel murdered hundreds of Palestinian footballers in Gaza, but now their own players are getting arrested for gang-raping a tourist.
And they’re still allowed to compete in the World Cup.

Simon Harris truly has less intellectual curiosity than your average woodlouse. He's in the paper saying that he wants an informed debate on migration, and then immediately shows that he hasn't bothered to learn the first thing about it. The first image is his remarks, the second is the actual law.

It would be one thing having a "debate" on immigration if people meant they wanted a "debate" based on facts. But what most people seem to mean when they say they want a debate is that is they want us to pretend a bunch of entirely made up bullshit is true.

The 15- and 16-year-old “terrorists” those Brave IDF Warriors “eliminated” today.
After gunning down these children, the occupation took their bodies hostage for no given reason.

Here are the Irish MEPs who just sided with the far-right (fascists, racists, sexists, homophobes, climate deniers) from across the EU
They've voted to gut protections that would have made businesses check and report their supply chains for child labour, human rights abuse or nature destruction

My goth housemate was walking from home to the train station one sunny afternoon, dressed in black head to toe, and went past the pub on the corner where an Irish homeless chap was sitting on the doorstep and says to him "cheer up mate, it'll be dark soon". I don't think he ever recovered.

I took this photo less than 10 years after the deer fence behind was erected. Before it went up, the land behind was just grass, exactly like the foreground where he sheep are.
*Nothing* was planted here.
"It's not rocket science" is an understatement.

Then it's not a fucking ceasefire, is it.
Since the ceasefire took effect one month ago, Israeli attacks have killed at least 242 Palestinians and injured 622.
How many times has Israel violated the Gaza ceasefire? Here are the numbers

Age Action estimates that 62% of adults over 65 are digitally excluded, either because they lack access or basic digital skills.
Behind those numbers are real costs – anxiety, poorer health outcomes, lost independence, and the slow erosion of confidence that comes from being shut out of daily life.

"Essential services are now digital by default, leaving many older people feeling locked out of their own lives."
As more of our lives move online by default, digital ageism has quietly become one of the last unchallenged prejudices, writes Fiona Daly.

Some of the stray dogs living near Chernobyl have recently turned blue. This confused scientists for weeks, until they realized they had simply been rolling around in chemicals from a nearby set of portable toilets. 14/10 for all

Yes, I absolutely noticed this, but don't believe for a second it wasn'tvthe EU and US's intention from the start.
Did you notice the 'ceasefire' being utter fiction didn't prevent it being used to quietly squash all the boycott initiatives? They even called off the vote to keep Israel out of Eurovision
