Fantastic news on a Wednesday
Anyway here’s a cheerful piece about how the Sun will eventually destroy all life on Earth (but not by exploding, so, you know, there’s that)

Seconded
Netflix - please stop minimising the end credits of movies to suggest something else. Let viewers enjoy the soundtrack and see the cast and crew that worked on the film. We'll exit it ourselves when ready to.

New report from @isdglobal.bsky.social outlines how Irish groups tried to push a 'stop the steal' narrative around the European and local elections in June.

Claims peaked after the broadcast moratorium, and the vast majority centered on false allegations of 'foreign interference'.

Irish conspiracy theories about vote-rigging during June elections peaked around polling day
A report has warned that this week’s general election could see similar claims by the far-right.

Last week, I had the privilege of being part of Reframe's audience, hosted by Fatima Bhutto, held at Al Jazeera Media Network in London, focused on Gaza.

We heard from Dr. Victoria Rose, a British plastic surgeon who’s worked in Gaza, and Yuli Novak, Executive Director of B'Tselem.

The NYT, instead of editing the caption of a video to show that it was Maccabi fans engaged in violence, removed it, claiming they did so at the original photographer's ( @iannet.bsky.social ) request.
