Welp, just finished reading Solaris for the first time. Pretty sure I'll ever be happy again.

He was given the keys to the Cathedral by the priests. They put him in charge of locking up and gave him verger duties. After he set it on fire, destroying the organ and organ loft, Fr Maire offered him a safe haven in his home to await trial.
He proceeded to murder Fr Maire.

🚨🇫🇷 An African migrant set fire to the 600-year-old cathedral in Nantes. A year after his release, he brutally murdered Father Olivier Maire. This happened in France. Rwandan citizen Emmanuel Abayisenga's asylum application to France, submitted in 2012, has been repeatedly rejected. Despite needing deportation, he has continued to live illegally. Abayisenga was sentenced to 30 years in prison in 2026. Illegal immigration continues to destroy Western values.

Women are vastly underrepresented in the global labour market and earn less than men. Economic sciences laureate Claudia Goldin demonstrated how and why gender differences in earnings and employment rates have changed in the US.

@ikeijeh Saving this photo, where I had my first full time job and after work pints at the pub on the left.

It's sad to see pedestrianisation set in such binary terms. Often it's great (Covent Gdn.) sometimes it isn't (old Paternoster Sq.👇) It's not just about banning cars, it's about creating the conditions that give people a reason to dwell there. Paving & planting alone won't work.

I find this so bizarre. The idea Paris-style mass pedestriansation and cycle lanes will turn into “dead zones in which crime and anti social behaviour can prosper.” I’m sure not every scheme so far attempted in the UK is perfect. But you know you can just go to Paris and Amsterdam and see how it’s done properly my right wing friends? I don’t understand why conservativism has to be attached to paranoia about pedestrians and bikes.

I love that this guy talks like Danny Dyer when he grew up extremely wealthy (father had more than one lambourghini) and was privately educated

This is the same guy who called Zack Polanski a bell end because he didn't agree with his politics.

@Michael64203490 @AlexPemOfficial @keewa Rrrrrrright.
It’s a London accent, getting rarer and rarer. A sociolinguist might be able to tell if it’s sarf, norf or (what was) Bow Bells related but as a Londoner of 7 decades standing, I can’t.

@AlexPemOfficial @keewa Not really. Like saying liverpool and Manchester are the same accent

@RichieBrave Slavery still exists in Africa and Asia. Ghana would do well to remember its past and sadly its present where 90000 people still live as slaves.
English
It’s worth noting that the UK, Spain, France, the Netherlands and Portugal, key drivers of the transatlantic slave trade, all abstained.
BBC News Africa@BBCAfrica
The UN General Assembly has voted to recognise slave trade as "the gravest crime against humanity". The proposal by Ghana was adopted with 123 votes in favour and three against - the United States, Israel and Argentina. bbc.in/4rTpwqE

Lee Kuan Yew now becoming popular on some parts of ‘Black Twitter’. African users like him because of his honesty about why some post-colonial states like Singapore succeeded while others in Africa failed. Lee Kuan Yew on why African states failed

If Lee Kuan Yew was greedy and shortsighted like your niggas in Nigeria you won’t be enjoying a sunny Thursday in Singapore.

@wil_da_beast630 Taking a wild guess here but Oxford is getting alot of free pub over this.
Sex sells. Who knew?
Their next paper will be “The Effect of Sex Related Terminology (eg masturbation) on the Enhancement of Social Engagement”
English
Gotta ask: if you're in a healthy relationship, why not take your wife out...and then have SEX?
Why is masturbation "the best solution" here? Who sponsored this? #streets_is_asking
University of Oxford@UniofOxford
'Male masturbation may have an adaptive benefit: it flushes out damaged, stored sperm.' New Oxford research suggests that the longer sperm are stored before ejaculation, the lower their quality, with implications for men trying to conceive and IVF treatment. Find out more ⬇️

Who needs an “anti-Muslim hostility” definition anyway when the Batley Grammar School teacher is still in hiding, and you’ve got useful idiots like Matthew Wright (who has, since our exchange, accused me on social media of “espousing Islamophobic racist bilge”) enforcing the new de-facto blasphemy rule on national radio.

Dear @UN,
Oldest slave trades:
1. Africans enslaving Africans: Thousands of years to today
2. Arab slave trade: 1000+ years to today
British Empire slave trade? 1555 - 1807
Should Europe claim reparations for the Barbary Slave Trade in 1M+ WHITE SLAVES?
North Africans enslaved at least 1 Million white Europeans in the Barbary Slave Trade, which lasted longer than the British Empire's trans-Atlantic slave trade.
If the Caribbean and Africa want reparations, why is Europe also not entitled to reparations?
Where does this end? Should Italy pay reparations for slavery in the Roman Empire?

@wil_da_beast630 Not tattoos but when on my Asian travels decades ago was amused to see many Asian tourists sporting T shirts and bags with meaningless English quotes along the lines of “The sun takes all cherry domino to skywardly“
Internet fixed all that I guess.

Do Chinese/Japanese professional athletes get tattoos in English that mean nothing like what they think they do?

Retraction—Today, we retract an unsigned 1977 commentary suggesting talc powder containing asbestos was not harmful. The Lancet was informed that the author had undisclosed competing interests and breached publication ethics. /4

Why no political empathy for young people in England?
Govt can abolish university tuition fees.
It can abolish prescription charges.
Provide free bus pass to young adults under the age of 22.
The above happens in Scotland. Must happen in England too.

@JonathanPieNews His neurodiversity isn't a problem for me. It's his white supremacist, elitist, survivalist outlook plugged into his superwealth that makes me plop my pants.

@resfoundation @annastansbury Just me, or is this patently obvious and utterly unsurprising?
It can’t easily be fixed either. Having middle-class monied parents interested in your education vs an uneducated parent scraping a living will always be weight on children.
English
Even after graduating from university, people who grew up in poverty face significant pay gaps when compared with their more affluent peers.

@nfergus Thatcher is supremely unpopular in UK. Shows how out of touch you're

Forty years ago: “The United States has stood by us in times of need, as we have stood by her. To refuse their request for the use of bases here would have been to abandon our responsibilities as an ally and to weaken the fight against terrorism.”—Margaret Thatcher, April 16, 1986.
