So were masks commonplace before covid, surely masks are not just there to block covid but other airbourne risks too,

Another day, another positive policy rolled back because they compromised on its launch and didn't push it through to success.

The marginal saving grace is that they're keeping ScotRail in public ownership, at least for now.

I am down here in Devon, there seems to be a good few users in Scotland so how about between us we change this, if you share photos, stories etc from Scotland I can at least boost and share them.

Airlines have merged from 12 major carriers in 1980 to 4 today.

A handful of companies control the pharmaceutical industry.

Four giants control 80% of meat processing.

The evidence of corporate concentration is everywhere.

And fewer competitors means higher prices for you.

It seems to be there is very little differentiation between Hamas, who as we are constantly reminded are classed as a terrorist group and the population of Gaza / west bank, (Palestinians) some of whom were there BEFORE Hamas, and most (given most of the population is < 18) probably don't know anything else, but are too young to vote, even if they were allowed to vote.

@fionaorkneynews

Another hidden cost of war is not the fact whole generations are being wiped out (we can see this happening) but it is the culture, food, traditions, stories that are at risk of being erased, we will lose so much of the heritage to this conflict.

As we are also seeing with the attacks on the internet, old websites are being lost, along with the information / data therein, each photo is a snapshot of tine, tells a story and has meaning to the people in the photo, once these are lost or the connections are lost then they can be lost forever, so the point of this last bit is, that we are at risk of losing Gaza and eventually all online records too, as we can't just preserve old websites.

@appassionato

The whole place looks to be just frozen in time, like a time capsule being opened. Granted they seem to have returned after 30 years, so nothing much would have been done in that time due to the area.

@appassionato @photography

that sounds like a really interesting photojournalism topic, any more photos etc from this?

@uspolitics

I watched part of it, as it was on bbc news, the way he spoke and came across was as a completly different person to the debate with Trump and the press conference when he got pres zelinsky mixed up with putin (and corrected himself). Very clear, very confident in the way he spoke.

@amin @RL_Dane

You are in the same situation as me then in some respect.

@funnymonkey @richardgrant @NZedAUS @kamalaharrisforpresidentnews

There is far too much misinformation / disinformation out there these days on a whole range of topics, in some cases it ends up putting many people in harms way.

@zleap @bookstodon Index said they had spoken with the School Library Association, who raised some concerns that a list of books that had been challenged might end up as a shopping list for book banners. But the SLA would be a good place to start if anyone is thinking of launching a campaign.

We continue to see misinformation about heat pumps being spread by parts of the media and on social media.

I debunked 18 common & largely misleading heat pump myths for Carbon Brief.

Don’t believe poorly informed commentators - listen to the evidence.

Armed with that experience, we’re ready for tonight’s flyby at Earth, where the colour processing will be much more important than at the Moon 🙂

But due to the geometry of the flyby & the fact that JUICE will be out of radio contact for several hours during it, we’ll only get the images much later, close to 5am.

So bear with us ✌️

All images will be freely available later too 👍

@pedestrians1st @joannaholman

Yeah, ok we could be on to something here, so as we can't just have a bunch of people with the breasts bouncing around as we see in movies such as Phiriana 3dd, so said BraNado turns on any men gawping and they end up naked or with very little on at least.

@joannaholman

How about a spoof horror movie where bras fly off leaving people topless. Then the bras band together and become a crazy killing machine.

The Scottish government said on Monday that it is suspending meetings with the Israeli government until "real progress" is made in Gaza ceasefire talks.

The move comes amid calls for the suspension of Scotland's external affairs secretary, Angus Robertson, following his decision to hold a secret meeting with Daniela Grudsky Ekstein, Israel's deputy ambassador to the UK.
