#GlobalSurgery is an exciting + new field of #GlobalHealth. Like many others before it, this means it is funded by + mostly centred in the Global North. This brings a whole host of problems, as shown by this image from @paimadhu

Really is a tough call. On one hand - every Nobel prize winning economist is adamantly stating that Harris has a significantly better economic plan But on the other hand - the dumbest people I’ve ever interacted with say Trump is a good businessman Quite the dilemma

Interesting how it's always "vote according to Biblical values!" until it comes to welcoming the immigrant, helping the poor, feeding the hungry, bringing healthcare to the sick, forgiving debts, caring for our planet, laying down our swords, or loving our neighbors.

The City of Cape Town evicts homeless people who have been living by the Castle on Friday, 01 November 2024. Prince William, who has started work towards ending homelessness, arrives in Cape Town on Monday, 04 November 2024. Coincidentally 🧐, events 3 days apart

Evictions finally concluded at the Castle in Cape Town. Nearly every national minister before the GNU delayed appropriate action on this. Credit to the Mayor @geordinhl and Minister @DeanMacpherson for moving the needle on this issue. This is a win for the rule of law.

If they can do it faster, why should we pay extra? What additional costs are incurred to make the process faster other than jumping the queue? Effectively you'd be paying to disadvantage others.

Messi used to fly 12 hours every couple months to play South American thug ball 3000m above sea level for a country whose citizens used to burn his shirt, and he won 8 Ballon d’Ors. Meanwhile Mbappé doesn’t want to play ‘Luxembourg.’ Who the hell does this guy think he is?

🚨 JUST IN: Kylian Mbappé has informed French NT that he ONLY wants to play the most important games with them. His top priority is winning Ballon d'Or 2025, which is why he wants to avoid all injury risk. @Santi_J_FM

Beyond being just incorrect, people who don't rate Dupont are so joyless. This is a guy with every skill in the game, who plays with a flair, beauty and accuracy I've never seen before. Why wouldn't you enjoy that?! It just makes rugby better. It's like hating sunlight.

For anyone still banging that drum in my mentions every day, it's taken Antoine Dupont six minutes to equal Cheslin Kolbe's total domestic try count from last season.

remember when people were telling everyone on this website "israel would never strike a hospital" during the al ahli courtyard explosions?

BREAKING: A UN inquiry found that Israel implemented a concerted policy to destroy Gaza’s healthcare system during its attacks, which constitutes war crimes and the crime against humanity of extermination. 🔴 LIVE updates: aje.io/ccu7zz

Our patients in the public health sector are suffering and potentially complicating due to the severe budget cuts and austerity measures. And it’s only going to get worse!

No, it’s already irreversible. However hot it gets is how hit it will stay for generations. And the level of heat is what drives all the impacts such as storms. We are in damage minimization mode. Which is still crucial.

“We are on the brink of an irreversible climate disaster. This is a global emergency beyond any doubt. Much of the very fabric of life on Earth is imperiled. We are stepping into a critical and unpredictable new phase of the climate crisis.” academic.oup.com/bioscience/adv…

We expected to have to dedicate considerable resources to identify the soldiers featured in the photos and videos. What we found was that, for the most part, soldiers posted material in their own names on publicly accessible platforms.

No surprise that the right-wing ideologues at the Social Research Foundation are also promoting the gangster Gayton McKenzie through their uncredible 'research': it's been clear since Rob Hersov started promoting McKenzie that he's a stooge for powerful right-wing interests.

According to a poll by the Social Research Foundation, Sport, Arts and Culture Minister Gayton McKenzie is the country’s third most-favoured political leader after President Cyril Ramaphosa and former president Jacob Zuma. Read more here: brnw.ch/21wNuF6

The National Minimum Wage is in place as a basic act of economic justice. In the most unequal country in the world only a party of privilege would argue that the minimum wage should be frozen while CEOs earn in one day what millions will take years to earn. #EconomicJustice #NMW
