A really excellent short story on BBC Sounds.

Descendants of Zimbabwe resistance heroes urge UK to locate looted skulls Relatives call on institutions to help them find remains of ancestors who led fight against British colonisers in 1890s

Horrific.
Return the remains of those freedom fighters… but they have to find them first?!?

Its so telling. The disrespect was built in from the outset.

If you're doomscrolling, guess what? So far there are 51 kākāpō chicks hatched and thriving this season, the same number of birds as we had in TOTAL in the 90s! Only one chick has died and there are still fertile eggs waiting to hatch!

After years of faint hopes, I’ve now managed to avoid all things eurovision in the last few years.

Nobody came out of this well. Particularly not the senator (?) but the journalist should’ve been better informed too.

Wrote about how the incredibly thin-skinned leadership of Palantir sued a small Swiss publication for publishing a deeply researched article that was only mildly embarrassing for the company (about why the Swiss gov't keeps ghosting them).
