Scratch a liberal and a Tory bleeds
Mark Carney was asked whether the US strikes on Iran were a violation of international law. In response, he ignored the substance of the question and listed off a bunch of grievances the West has with Iran.
It’s a shameful and cowardly response from someone who claims to defend international law.

Awful lot of back patting for this election result when the Cons still picked up 24 seats and the liberal victory seems predicated on leftist voters plugging their noses and voting strategically for Liberal candidates. #cdnpoli

Pedro Pascal calls out “vile and pathetic” transphobic trolls after defending trans rights
Pedro Pascal, whose sister Lux is a trans woman, is a prominent trans ally and he has no time for transphobia.

People used to get their knees broken for crossing picket lines.
At the scene of the Amazon strike:
The NYPD has now erected barricades to allow Amazon contractors to enter and leave the distribution center, helping Amazon break the picket line.

Quick video of some testing we did for a PhD student investigating the use of British hardwood timber as a more sustainable construction material.
You can see the material twist so we've since added a more robust load spreading system to apply a more representative load across the surface.
