After taking this photo of burned out houses in East Belfast, two local lads scrolled through my phone photo library to ensure I hadn’t captured any faces, telling me “with no animosity, like” to “fuck away off before you get kneecapped”

Families were evacuated from their homes on Lendrick Street in east Belfast on Tuesday night as cars and houses were set alight during disorder across the city.

City of Derry Airport was recommended as one of two possible sites for aircraft engine maintenance, repair & overhaul, other potential site being Shannon. InvestNI is now pushing Belfast International Airport as location. We need full public disclosure on how this has happened.

When Ellie Flanagan was murdered in Enniskillen @PoliceServiceNI said the number of women & young girls killed in Northern Ireland since 2020 was 32. Tragically Amy Doherty's murder makes it now 33. Let's not forget the 3 girls under 18 who also lost their lives. 🙏🏻

This is incredible. This machine is capable of cleaning up 100 million kg of plastic ocean waste, and as of 2025, it has already collected about 500,000 kg of plastic. It aims to remove 90% of ocean plastic by 2040.

🚨 JUST IN: A migratory bird just shattered world records — flying 8,425 miles (13,560 km) NON-STOP across the Pacific without landing once. The bar-tailed godwit doesn’t stop to eat, drink, or sleep during its migration across the Pacific Ocean. Its journey from Alaska to Australia takes roughly 11 days of continuous flight, covering over 13,000 kilometers through storms, headwinds, and open ocean with zero land beneath it the entire time. Before departure, it does something almost surgical to its own body. It shrinks its digestive organs down to almost nothing, converting the stomach, intestines, and liver into raw fuel. The bird essentially eats its own gut to make room for fat reserves that will power its wings for nearly two weeks straight. The brain doesn’t fully sleep either. Half of it stays active while the other half rests, alternating in shifts mid-flight at altitude over the open Pacific. The godwit is simultaneously unconscious and navigating with magnetic field sensitivity that no human instrument in the 18th century could replicate. What makes this genuinely staggering beyond the physical record is the navigational precision involved. The bird leaves Alaska and arrives in New Zealand with accuracy that would embarrass early GPS systems. It reads Earth’s magnetic field, atmospheric pressure gradients, star positions, and potentially quantum-level compass mechanisms inside its eye that literally let it see magnetic field lines overlaid on its visual field. Evolution spent millions of years building an aerospace navigation system inside a 300 gram animal. We spend billions engineering machines that do what this bird does on instinct, fat reserves, and half a sleeping brain. The longest recorded non-stop flight by a commercial aircraft is around 20 hours. This bird does 11 days. Without a runway.

He is a Batman fan and Batman surprised him. Wonderful interaction and truly made his day.

🚨 BREAKING: Scottish officials say two people were taken from Scotland in the middle of the night by the U.S. military, despite a direct order from Scotland’s highest court that they remain in the country. Now Scotland’s Greens are calling for real consequences; including evicting U.S. troops from the base at publicly owned Prestwick Airport. This is a sovereignty breach and allies are starting to say it out loud.

A giant clear plastic bag was used to show just how much pollution and environmental harm comes from burning a single car tire.
