People are capable of being genuinely amazing
An older man "blocked" the attacker from stabbing a younger girl, leaving him with a gash on his head and neck, Foster said. Passengers around him used jackets to try to staunch the bleeding.

fun fact: it remains the case that if the Princes William and Harry and their kids all died in some kind of freak yacht accident or something then Andrew Mountbatten Windsor would officially be made King
King Charles III (b. 1948) (1) William, Prince of Wales (b. 1982) (2) Prince George of Wales (b. 2013) (3) Princess Charlotte of Wales (b. 2015) (4) Prince Louis of Wales (b. 2018) (5) Prince Harry, Duke of Sussex (b. 1984) (6) Prince Archie of Sussex (b. 2019) (7) Princess Lilibet of Sussex (b. 2021) (8) Andrew Mountbatten Windsor[9] (b. 1960)

I enjoy that he reposts this shit
Reposted by Zack Polanski ‪Sooz Kempner‬ ‪@soozuk.bsky.social‬ · 55m I like the way the British centrist media can’t write about Zack Polanski without casually painting him as the Farage of the left. “Like Farage, Polanski thinks Keir Starmer is a right fanny”. Ok guys terrific insight.

A lot of "why would you do this when the Greens are having such a moment?" The councillors are telling you why, and unsurprisingly it's bound up with the particularities of Scottish politics where the Greens are a distinct party to the one led by Polanski.

www.theguardian.com/politics/liv...
Describing Your Party as “the largest step toward unity that I’ve seen on the left in my lifetime”, Hutchison said: “I’ve spent the last ten years fighting to get the Greens to be the left-wing force they think they are. But their MSPs have their heads deep in the sand, voting to cut budgets year after year and enabling the largest sell off of public land to the private sector.”

William McKinney, age 26. Shot in the back as he attempted to flee through Glenfada Park courtyard.[64] The Saville Inquiry concluded that he was shot by 'Soldier F'.[2] Gerard "Gerry" McKinney, age 35. Shot in the chest at Abbey Park. A soldier, identified as 'Private G', ran through an alleyway from Glenfada Park and shot him from a few yards away. Witnesses said that when he saw the soldier, McKinney stopped and held up his arms, shouting, "Don't shoot! Don't shoot!", before being shot. The bullet apparently went through his body and struck Gerard Donaghy behind him.[2] Gerard "Gerry" Donaghy, age 17. Shot in the stomach at Abbey Park while standing behind Gerard McKinney. Both were apparently struck by the same bullet. Bystanders brought Donaghy to a nearby house. A doctor examined him, and his pockets were searched for identification. Two bystanders then attempted to drive Donaghy to hospital, but the car was stopped at a British Army checkpoint. They were ordered to leave the car and a soldier drove it to a Regimental Aid Post, where an Army medical officer pronounced Donaghy dead. Shortly after, soldiers found four nail bombs in his pockets. The civilians who searched him, the soldier who drove him to the Army post, and the Army medical officer all said that they did not see any bombs. This led to claims that soldiers planted the bombs on Donaghy to justify the killings.[n 2 Patrick Doherty, age 31. Shot from behind while attempting to crawl to safety in the forecourt of Rossville Flats. The Saville Inquiry concluded that he was shot by 'Soldier F', who came out of Glenfada Park.[2] Doherty was photographed, moments before and after he died, by French journalist Gilles Peress. Despite testimony from 'Soldier F' that he had shot a man holding a pistol, Widgery acknowledged that the photographs show Doherty was unarmed, and that forensic tests on his hands for gunshot residue proved negative.[2][68] Bernard "Barney" McGuigan, age 41. Shot in the back of the head when he walked out from cover to help Patrick Doherty. He had been waving a white handkerchief to indicate his peaceful intentions.[62][2] The Saville Inquiry concluded that he was shot by 'Soldier F'.[2] John Johnston, age 59. Shot in the leg and left shoulder on William Street 15 minutes before the rest of the shooting started.[2][69] Johnston was not on the march, but on his way to visit a friend in Glenfada Park.[69] He died on 16 June 1972; his death has been attributed to the injuries he received on the day. He was the only fatality not to die immediately or soon after being shot.[2]

As some people replying to or sharing this appear to be learning about it for the first time, here are Wikipedia screenshots detailing every person killed by the British Army on Bloody Sunday, 30th January 1972.
John "Jackie" Duddy, age 17. Shot as he ran away from soldiers in the car park of Rossville Flats.[2] The bullet struck him in the shoulder and entered his chest. Three witnesses said they saw a soldier take deliberate aim at the youth as he ran.[2] He was the first fatality on Bloody Sunday.[2] Both Saville and Widgery concluded that Duddy was unarmed.[2] Michael Kelly, age 17. Shot in the stomach while standing at the rubble barricade on Rossville Street. Both Saville and Widgery concluded that Kelly was unarmed.[2] The Saville Inquiry concluded that 'Soldier F' shot Kelly.[2] Hugh Gilmour, age 17. Shot as he ran away from soldiers near the rubble barricade.[2] The bullet went through his left elbow and entered his chest.[60] Widgery acknowledged that a photograph taken seconds after Gilmour was hit[61] corroborated witness reports that he was unarmed.[62] The Saville Inquiry concluded that 'Private U' shot Gilmour.[2] William Nash, age 19. Shot in the chest at the rubble barricade.[2] Three people were shot while apparently going to his aid, including his father Alexander Nash.[63] John Young, age 17. Shot in the face at the rubble barricade, apparently while crouching and going to the aid of William Nash.[63] Michael McDaid, age 20. Shot in the face at the rubble barricade, apparently while crouching and going to the aid of William Nash.[63] Kevin McElhinney, age 17. Shot from behind, near the rubble barricade, while attempting to crawl to safety.[2] James "Jim" Wray, age 22. Shot in the back while running away from soldiers in Glenfada Park courtyard. He was then shot again in the back as he lay mortally wounded on the ground. Witnesses, who were not called to the Widgery Tribunal, stated that Wray was calling out that he could not move his legs before he was shot the second time. The Saville Inquiry concluded that he was shot by 'Soldier F'.[2]

Hey man, you guys got a coherent plan to work together towards the launch of a new left party for the 800k people that have signed up to support it already, nah?

what is going on here
post from Your Party: URGENT MESSAGE TO ALL YOURPARTY.UK SUPPORTERS This morning, an unauthorised email was sent to all yourparty.uk supporters with details of a supposed membership portal hosted in a new domain name. Legal advice is being taken. That email should be ignored by all supporters. If any direct debits have been set up, they should be immediately cancelled. The agreed process was announced on 1 August: the Independent Alliance Group of MPs Jeremy Corbyn, Zarah Sultana, Iqbal Mohamed, Adnan Hussain, Shockat Adam and Ayoub Khan are stewarding and accountable for the foundation process for the new party, leading to an inaugural democratic conference in the Autumn. Earlier this week, we shared new details about the roadmap to the launch, including our plans for mass regional assemblies and our founding conference. Soon, you will be able to turn your support into membership at yourparty.uk, and shape the future of our party and our country.

Basically everyone being like "yup, a truly talented guy. Properly decent bloke, just a nice man. And so stylish. Unbelievably handsome really, classic good looks, look at him here. And here. Here too. Just an exceptional, nice, good, very hot man." Pretty good going man, fair play.

I regret to inform you I attempted to play this game on X and now I'm in a bad mood again
I have heard of none of these people. I asked ChatGPT for footballers whose first names are dactyls, second names trochees, or whose first names are trochees and second names iambs followed by an unstressed syllable, and then, in a stroke of genius, footballers whose first names are monosyllabic and second names anapests followed by an unstressed syllable.

"You know I also find clutter to be cumbersome. It's frustrating isn't it Paul? An untidy life leaves an untidy mind and certain details slip through the cracks. But others remain, crystal clear, in black and white. Like this delivery receipt for a pizza oven and coffee maker, with your name on it."

Chris As a Saints fan, good to see Russell Martin has not changed. Oh, forgot, the man is incapable of changing. Stubborn to the last, even when his philosophy is awful, slow football. Barry Sorry, but it is a death knell. Russell Martin - tick tock, tick tock… K Martin has to go. It's that simple. This is not acceptable. Gary Sack Russell tonight. Shocking.

He simplified his game and made some big daves
I had no doubts about him in the second half. He didn't take any risks. He didn't overplay. He didn't put himself in those positions again. He simplified his game and made some big daves. That's all you can ask of your goalkeeper in those moments.
