They 🇮🇱 raped a man.
They gang-raped him.
They raped him so brutally that he had to be hospitalized.
Doctors documented the injuries..

The phrase “look like Gaza” is used as a threat. Think about that.
#Genocide has been normalized as intimidation.

UK regulators have told Facebook, Instagram, Snapchat, TikTok, YouTube, Roblox and X to strengthen age verification for under-13s, saying the platforms are failing to put children's safety at the heart of their products. Ofcom said companies have not gone far enough to protect younger children. https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/cn48n18pg1eo #Media #SocialMedia #UK #Ofcom
The #UK is ejecting hereditary #nobles from #Parliament after 700 years
By Jill Lawless, March 11, 2026
Excerpt: "Centuries of British political tradition will end within weeks after Parliament voted to remove hereditary #aristocrats from the unelected House of Lords.
"On Tuesday night members of the upper chamber dropped objections to legislation passed by the House of Commons ousting dozens of #dukes, #earls and #viscounts who inherited seats in Parliament along with their aristocratic titles.
"Government minister Nick Thomas-Symonds said the change put an end to 'an archaic and undemocratic principle.'
" 'Our parliament should always be a place where talents are recognized and merit counts,' he said. 'It should never be a gallery of old boys’ networks, nor a place where titles, many of which were handed out centuries ago, hold power over the will of the people.' "

BBC: MPs reject call for under-16s social media ban, backing more flexible powers. “The consultation will look at whether social media platforms should come with a minimum age requirement and whether platforms should switch off addictive features such as autoplay.”

It's time for an #introduction, having just moved over from another instance.
I'm a career changer, after three decades teaching physics and computer science in schools and colleges. I'm now an instructor in the aviation industry and enjoying the change of pace.
I'm interested in #Rugby, #Cricket,, #pedagogy, #physics, science, technology and #education in general. I've run a local #astronomy society, a target shooting range and a badminton club.
I have an occasionally updated #Gemini log, a set of #RaspberryPi computers running network services, and I started programming on a Sinclair ZX81 microcomputer.
I enjoy winge-bonding about the failures of politics, irritatingly smug tech billionaires and the stupidity of the #england national rugby team manager. I prefer calming countryside photos, happy tales and stories of positive experiences.

My son's potential work placement fell through so I'm hoping the fediverse can step up and help me out.
My 16yo son is looking for a work placement in an engineering company. Mechanical engineering would be preferable as he is planning on studying that in uni. He's a smart and dependable first year college student studying math, physics and electronics. He's predicted to get triple As, is very academic but also likes the practical side of things.
He's looking for a work placement from 8-10 July in the UK. We live in Hampshire but he's willing to commute for a meaningful work placement. I'm even willing to book a hotel room for a good work placement anywhere else in the UK.
Please boost for wide reach. Thank you!

UK MPs have rejected a proposed ban on social media for under-16s, instead backing more flexible regulatory powers. The House of Lords had backed a blanket ban in January, but the government argues age-based restrictions would be difficult to enforce and prefers giving regulators new tools. https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/cqj91egkelko #Media #SocialMedia #UK
There is particularly annoying about services that allows you to sign up, pay and use the service fully online.... only to require you to phone them if you want to cancel.
Todays culprit is the TV license people.

“Starmer’s Self-Defence Fudge:
The UK’s Growing Involvement in the Iran War”

“The dangers of closer involvement with the US in this war should be all too clear for Starmer and the Labour Party. In March 2003, as a human rights lawyer, he warned the government of Tony Blair that pre-emptive action against Iraq to disarm the regime of Saddam Hussein of alleged weapons of mass destruction would find itself, from a legal perspective, on thin ice.”
