@jeff_charman Why is pointless? Do you think sexism is appropriate?

@GAME_Canterbury @Se_Railway Try to apply logic.

@ZaraMayyRose @Se_Railway Some quite crass generalisations there.

@Se_Railway Precisely. It was wholly inappropriate and sexist - something you don’t seem to acknowledge. Both men and women should be prepared to give up their seat to those who need it. We aren’t living in the Victorian era.

@Se_Railway I am on the much-delayed and crowded 20.48 from London Bridge to Tonbridge. A conductor announcement indicated “gentlemen” should consider giving up their seats. Is this Southeastern policy?

@TfL Plus, unsafe temperatures….

@TfL severe delays on the Jubilee line today. That doesn’t have anything to do with the closure of Charing Cross and Waterloo East does it? I mean, it’s not as if you’ve had months of planning…

🚨 On Wednesday, Israeli settlers seized the home of the Palestinian Basha family in the Muslim Quarter of Jerusalem’s Old City after Israeli courts ordered their eviction. The family, which consists of six households, most of whom are elderly, have lived in the building since the 1930s. Their eviction followed legal proceedings initiated by the General Custodian, a governmental body within the Israeli Ministry of Justice. In a video circulating online, Rabbi Avishai Zruya, head of the Yeshivat Ateret Yerushalayim settler organization, is seen leading settlers in a prayer and affixing to the building’s entrance a mezuzah—a Jewish ritual object traditionally placed on a doorpost, symbolically marking the newly seized building as a Jewish space. He declares: “Today, on the eve of Tisha B’Av… we come here with dignity and splendor, in the fullness of our Jewishness and faith.” Tisha B’Av is a Jewish day of mourning commemorating the destruction of the Jewish Temples. Ateret Yerushalayim is closely connected to the Ateret Cohanim settler organization, which plays a central role in the forced eviction of Palestinians and settler takeover of their homes in the Old City and surrounding Palestinian neighborhoods, including Silwan. This is what settler violence looks like in East Jerusalem: no need for settler pogroms or rampages, instead, discriminatory laws, state institutions, courts, and police are all utilized to forcibly remove Palestinians from their homes and seize them for Jewish settlement—all under the veneer of legality. Israeli law allows Jews to reclaim property allegedly owned before 1948, while denying Palestinians the same right to recover property they lost in West Jerusalem and elsewhere.

New statement from President Trump on Israel/Hezbollah: "I had a very productive call with Prime Minister Bibi Netanyahu, of Israel, and there will be no Troops going to Beirut, and any Troops that are on their way, have already been turned back. Likewise, through highly placed Representatives, I had a very good call with Hezbollah, and they agreed that all shooting will stop — That Israel will not attack them, and they will not attack Israel."

At least I was alive when the BBC interviewed me.

Israeli settlers blocked children in Masafer Yatta from playing football on their village field threatened with demolition. The settlers sat before them chanting in Hebrew to intimidate them, while the children watched helplessly. How much longer will this continue?

Jeeves (may he rest in peace) was the product of a very different cultural, technological and demographic era. Anachronistic as he might seem today (and minor though he turned out to be in the story of the internet), the trope of the omniscient English butler was, for a few years, a successful addition to an American search engine, and, in some ways, a manifestation of British "soft power". When Ask Jeeves was launched, in 1996, Britain had a bigger GDP than China and India put together; had hundreds of hereditary peers; and could count a higher percentage of Americans among its diaspora. Wodehouse had died less than a generation ago, and digital services, which were yet to be truly globalised, were still in a period of playful non-optimisation. Today, Jeeves would be a nonsensical addition to the branding of an LLM. The cultural trope of the omniscient English butler still exists, but has lost its potency. Farewell, Jeeves: we shall not look upon his like again.

Following the completion of an initial examination regarding a photograph published earlier today of an IDF soldier harming a Christian symbol, it was determined that the photograph depicts an IDF soldier operating in southern Lebanon. The IDF views the incident with great severity and emphasizes that the soldier’s conduct is wholly inconsistent with the values expected of its troops. The incident is being investigated by the Northern Command and is currently being addressed through the chain of command. Appropriate measures will be taken against those involved in accordance with the findings. Furthermore, the IDF is working to assist the community in restoring the statue to its place. The IDF is operating to dismantle the terrorist infrastructure established by Hezbollah in southern Lebanon, and has no intention of harming civilian infrastructure, including religious buildings or religious symbols.

The IDF is currently examining the reliability of the photograph. If this is indeed a real, recent picture, these actions do not align with the IDF's values ​​and the behavior expected of IDF soldiers. The incident will be investigated thoroughly and in depth, and if
