"There’s a willing disconnect between the reality of European arms companies selling weapons to worsen various global conflicts, and how huge amounts of individuals are fleeing those conflicts and trying to get into the EU."

BBC News has shown a clear bias, giving Israeli victims more coverage and more compassion than Palestinian victims.
ALT These are two charts stacked on top of each other. The first shows the daily mentions in BBC News of Israeli (blue) vs Palestinian (purple) deaths. Below, is a cumulative count of the number of Israelis and Palestinians who have died since October 7.
ALT There is a table that shows words mentioned in BBC news articles and whether they were mentioned in reference to Israelis or Palestinians. It is a white table set against an orange background with lots of illustrations around it like an empty water bottle and a bloodied press jacket and an olive tree. The numbers in the table are as follows: (Israelis first, then Palestinians) husband 30 5 wife 10 24 daughter/granddaughter 35 15 son/grandson 25 11 father/grandfather 33 9 mother/grandmother 51 32 killed 1066 1630 died 82 201 slaughter(ed) 20 0 murder(ed) 101 1 massacre(ed) 23 1

Roald Dahl was no angel but this is absurd censorship. Puffin Books and the Dahl estate should be ashamed.
At @PENamerica we are alarmed at news of "hundreds of changes" to venerated works by @roald_dahl in a purported effort to scrub the books of that which might offend someone. 1/13 theguardian.com/books/2023/f…

I can't stop thinking about this extraordinary intervention from Mary Robinson on the Late Late last week and how no one seems to have heard what she said, including Ryan Tubridy, who brushed off the words 'our children will have no future' like he had a cameo in #DontLookUp.

I’m a little obsessed with this blue-and-yellow parrot raising the Ukrainian flag when he hears the country’s anthem. Animals are so much smarter than humans sometimes. (Source: Ukrainian telegram channels)
