1. To understand Iran's protests it's striking to juxtapose images of the young, modern women killed in Iran over the last week (Mahsa Amini, Ghazale Chelavi, Hanane Kia, Mahsa Mogoi) with the images of the country's ruling elite, virtually all deeply traditional, geriatric men.

I’ve been thinking about this piece for a year. There’s so much more I could say. The only thing that matters is that Martha should be alive today… ‘We had such trust, we feel such fools’: how shocking hospital mistakes led to our daughter’s death theguardian.com/lifeandstyle…

Thankful that decades of determined campaigning by the Liverpool-born children of deported Chinese seamen has finally received the recognition they deserve: that the treatment of their fathers and their families was racist and coercive. theguardian.com/world/2022/a…

Huge, if long overdue, vindication for the families that have campaigned for justice for so many years. The Home Office admits the deportations of Chinese seamen who served in the British Merchant Navy in WWII were coercive and “racially inflected” @KimJohnsonMP @danhancox
Exclusive update to my long read: Home Office admits for the first time Chinese seamen with British families were "coerced" into leaving in "racially inflected" secret deportation programme in 1945-6 theguardian.com/world/2022/a…

Here's a 1-minute video showing--in the words of visualization hero @EdwardTufte--the "compared to what" factor for today's amazing @NASAWebb image. Thanks to the @WWTelescope for making this possible, and @ADavidWeigel. I only wish @NASA and @POTUS had shown the image this way!

Utterly disgraceful exit speech … selfish; self-centred, narcissistic, poor me the victim, no regrets, no fault, no mistakes, no apology, no resignation.

Here’s how the abortion laws affect pregnant women who want their babies. For those still refusing to see how this affects ALL women, read Chloe’s story:

The dangers of climate change are mounting so rapidly that they could soon overwhelm the ability of both nature and humanity to adapt unless greenhouse gas emissions are quickly reduced, according to a UN report by 270 researchers from 67 countries. nyti.ms/3AlkYSL
