GOOD NEWS! A groundbreaking study of MORE THAN 1,000 people reveals that cancer patients who received a COVID-19 mRNA vaccine within 100 days of starting immunotherapy lived dramatically longer than those who didn’t. In some cases, their survival rate was DOUBLED.

Whatever happens in Palestine, we have to keep fighting for an end to apartheid. A settlement was annexed? That is not permanent. We will have a free Palestine.

Did an end to apartheid in South Africa seem impossible? It ended too.

In our lifetimes or not we have to keep moving toward it.

Never seen the finest trans representation in a popular mainstream movie.

Only under a Government that is unwilling to stand up to xenophobia is it possible to end up with the "mainstream" opposition planning what amounts to a deportation-driven ethnic cleansing of 5% of the country's population

Lam believes her policy would deport all of the proportion in pink - keeping the thin group in black - of the post-2021 legal migrant arrivals. (The draft legislation proposes similar thresholds/rules for all past grants too). She says jar is 3.5m people: an astonishing scale of mass deportations

Bonkers. The implication would be that it's also illegal to pour coffee down your kitchen drain. We have combined sewerage system so road runoff goes to the same treatment plant.

Glad the story has embarassed the council into rescinding.

I am impressed by both Sanders’ and Corbyn’s inability to make (admit) a mistake.

A picture of Bernie Sanders outside, captioned “I am asking you to ignore a Nazi tattoo”. (This is a variant of the I Am Once Again Asking meme.)

1/🧵 I am viewing a never-before-seen file on “gender reassignment” or trans inclusion policy at the National Archives, Kew. The Supreme Court should start sweating. A bagful of receipts!

A close-up, angled shot of a pink paper file cover from the UK "DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH," resting on a light wood-grain surface. The "SUBJECT" is handwritten in large blue capital letters: "GENDER RE-ASSIGNMENT".

All of these BBC News articles about the disgraced Prince contrast him to a “working royal”, as if there is such a thing.

The thing that makes Star Trek utopian isn’t the end of scarcity or the harmony between all peoples it’s also that the guy on the ship who gets laid the most plays the trombone at work and periodically does community theater

This would be a great initiative had Brianna Ghey been murdered by a smartphone. Instead, she was murdered by classmates she knew in real life, whose parents had likely been radicalised by mainstream newspapers.

Second, Biffa signing a contract for hundreds of millions of pounds is something they are capable of seeking legal advice on. A decision to sign is theirs alone, and like all commercial decisions it came with risk.

It’s doubly outrageous that Biffa are suing ScotGov. First, it was the UK Govt which sank the bottle deposit scheme.

My favorite Diane Keaton factlet remains that she directed the music video for "Heaven is a Place on Earth." RIP queen.
