At a recent gathering, there were calls for progress on returning African relics held at the National Museum of Ireland. Most are weapons, taken as souvenirs of colonial wars, said Olusegun Morakinyo, Africologist and former visiting scholar at the TCD.

British surgeon Nick Maynard, who has just returned from volunteering in Gaza, explains to #GMB viewers how Israel confiscates all baby formula that doctors like him try to take with them.
Why does Israel do this? Because they want to starve Palestinian babies to death.

I have nothing but bafflement at how English politicans and English media can talk as if terror flags, hate directed against ethnic groups and yes, death threats to politicians, under the guise of state and establishment condoned culture, isn’t just what in Northern Ireland is known as ‘Summer’.

I still think the stressfulness of Zoom direct messaging is an evil genius UI design feature that intentionally reproduces the anxiety of whispering to someone during an in-person meeting
Hah. The only thing that Zoom changed about texting during meetings was that one has to be extra conscientious about texting in one's messaging program as opposed to accidentally typing a message intended for a very different audience in the Zoom chat
I enjoy the implication by Dimon that this wasn't happening before WFH which uhhhhhhhh was not my experience
