The @Air4All system will enable ♿️ users - power or manual - to ✈️ in our chairs. Obvs not for everyone - I’d only do so short-haul & we still need accessible toilets on board - but for many, it’s a game changer. I tried it out at the @VirginAtlantic HQ today. @flyingdisabled 👊🏻

Over-reliance on English hinders cognitive science: it has led to premature claims of universality (due to over-sampling of English speakers) and limited the cognitive constructs being examined (due to the use of English as a meta-language). doi.org/10.1016/j.tics.2022.…

Dear Irish consumer, remember the effort made to shop with Irish and local businesses during the Covid lockdowns, for fear they might be at risk of closing? – at Galway, Ireland

One of the most sensible takes on ‘cancel culture’ I’ve seen. Sensible, honest, smart. I’m posting the video directly as Times Radio tweeted it with a clickbait and somewhat misleading headline that unintentionally confirmed his point. More of this please.

She was groomed by dark-money lobby groups working for Big Tobacco, Big Oil and foreign oligarchs. Now Liz Truss is in office and trashing this country on their behalf.

The story of Sarina Esmailzadeh reached me this morning, I'm somewhat at a loss for words. We talk about freedoms with no understanding of what it means to pay the ultimate price in fighting for it. This brave girl was only 16 years in the world...
Look at this beautiful teenage girl, full of life, singing with @Hozier 's "Take Me to Church". The Islamic Republic killed her in the protests following #MahsaAmini's murder. She only wanted to live a free life as a young woman. Say her name: #SarinaEsmailzadeh
