As predicted, France, the UK, Italy, and mie Germany are now acknowledging, carefully and belatedly, what Spain said out loud from day one about Trump and Netanyahu’s Iran war: reckless, unlawful, and strategically empty. Courage, it turns out, has a lag time.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

Today is 2026-02-25, the sun sets at 17:54:54 and the grand auld stretch tonight was 1 hour, 49 mins and 11 secs. #GrandStretch #TheGrandStretchIsBack

I think this article (from a black man and a father to a child with similar disabilities) is a good take on the incident. variety.com/2026/film/aw...

BAFTA and BBC Let the N-Word Air on Tape Delay — Michael B. Jordan, Delroy Lindo, the Tourette’s Community and Viewers Deserve an Apology

A Tourette’s-related outburst of the N-word aired during the BAFTAs despite tape delay. Michael B. Jordan and Delroy Lindo are owed an apology.

variety.com

The BBC operates a 'broadcast delay' for exactly this reason. They left the slur in. But they used the delay to edit out someone saying "Free Palestine" in their speech.

I really appreciate this TikToker with Tourette syndrome, Shay, for taking the time to educate so many of us (including me) about her disability and coprolalia in light of what happened at the BAFTAs with John Davidson when Michael B. Jordan and Delroy Lindo were on stage. I learned a lot.

Them: "Let me know if there's anything I can do to help". Me (in my head): "Why don't you tell me what you have the capacity to do and I will let you know if I need that help".

Yes, WhatsApp, I want to say "prick", not "price". It's one of those days!

I see that Met Éireann is responsible now for climate change and authorities' lack of preparedness for its inevitable outcomes! 🤔

So, it turns out that February is just three Januarys in a trench coat. #Rain #SpéirGorm #SpéirLiath #DublinFloods #Flooding #IrishWeather #OrangeWarning

Is. January. Really. Over?????

The Ombudsman for the Children’s Office has pushed back on the idea of a social media ban for under 16s. The measure had been floated by figures including the Tánaiste, following the introduction of a similar ban in Australia. More on #VMNews

Rumour has it that January has the same number of days as July. #FakeNews

Here's the DCU report I co-wrote on research we conducted on the topic of Neurodiversity in the Workplace: www.dcu.ie/instituteofe...

One in four employees self-identify as neurodivergent, according to new research from DCU | Institute of Education

Small changes by employers have large impact on wellbeing of neurodivergent and neuromajority employees

If you hold a degree from an Israeli university, you can work in Israel's education system. If you hold a degree from a Palestinian university, you are banned from working in Israel's education system. Not so complicated after all. It's called apartheid. www.middleeastmonitor.com/20260122-kne...

Knesset approves law banning employment of Palestinian university graduates in Israel’s education system

The Israeli Knesset approved a law on Wednesday evening that bans the employment of anyone holding an academic degree from a Palestinian higher education institution in Israel’s education system. T…

Do people genuinely remember 2016? 👀

Indonesia is the first country to block access to xAI’s Grok due to its ability to generate CSAM and deepfake porn. It’s quite disappointing that this is the only meaningful action that’s been taken after several days of this issue coming to light.
