He may have been allowed to walk free by a British court, but the world now knows that David Cleary was part of the unit that murdered 14 and injured 15 in Derry on Bloody Sunday, 1972.
Let history judge them with the same amount of mercy that they showed their victims - that is, none at all.

Finally, someone has solved a real problem with AI! No more having to take a paper in the format for a journal that rejected you, and reformat it for a new journal. Well done!! formatmypaper.com

I have often said that if people could see how trawlers actually work, maybe they'd stop eating fish - guess it's time to test that?
Its not monsters from outer space
Its humans scraping the bottom floor and sucking up every life form that exists, leaving nothing
Fish often in vain flee for their lives
Also releases 370 million metric tons of planet-warming c02 every year, roughly same as running 100 coal power plants

Did you know tiny algae can "skate" within Arctic sea ice? ⛸️ Our new study in @pnas.org reveals the secret life of ice diatoms: they are actively gliding to navigate the ice! This adds a new dimension to the sea ice ecosystem, revealing an active, dynamic ecological niche. @prakashlab.bsky.social

Remember when various world leaders were saying they would recognise a Palestinian state in September?
This is why.
In a few days or weeks, there won't be a Palestine left to recognise. This was always the end-game.

Stop trying to recruit "superstar" scientists to Ireland from the US. Instead try:
Diverting excellent PhD students and postdoctoral scientists who would otherwise be on their way to US to land here instead
Investing in the research infrastructure needed to attract and retain excellent scientists

Unidentified men grabbing someone off the street and putting her in a car because she wrote an op-Ed. This as flatly authoritarian as anything we’ve seen in this country in a very long time.
Video of the international student at Tufts being arrested by "federal authorities" in Massachusetts has been released and it's terrifying.
They're not even uniformed officers. Just secret police thugs in hoodies and masks.
