Machete brawl in London: man taken to hospital

A group of men fought with machetes outside a West End Tube station in London in the early hours of the new year.

The brawl occurred at around 4 a.m. in Oxford Street, near Bond Street station. A man, aged 25, was taken to hospital with a stab wound.

His condition remains unclear. Some reports claim he had a “catastrophic” bleeding. One eyewitness said the attack was “terrifying,” with people at the scene screaming and running away.

No arrests had yet been made, police reported. An investigation is underway.

At 04:04 hrs on Wednesday, 1 January police were called to Oxford Street, just outside Bond Street Underground Station, following reports of men armed with knives. Officers attended and at the junction of Oxford Street and South Malton Street they found a 25-year-old man with a stab wound.

The stabbing took place after 100,000 people watched the New Year’s Eve fireworks display in central London on Tuesday night.

A secret internal ‘NYTimes’ memo reveals the paper’s anti-Palestinian bias is even worse than we thought

The shocking revelation of the New York Times's offensive internal style guide on language it will not permit in its Palestine reporting should prompt a broad examination of the paper's longtime bias.

Kudos to the anonymous New York Times staffers who leaked the paper’s offensive internal guide about the language it won’t permit in its reports on Israel/Palestine, and more kudos to The Intercept for publishing it. The shocking revelation should prompt an even broader examination of the biased language that has long been routine in the Times and across all U.S. media.

Hey guys so do we want to talk about how Lila’s entire thing is that she lies and yet the biggest lie this season isn’t coming from her... but from Marinette.

How Lila and Marinette match each other intellectually, which Marinette herself says while fighting Lila (‘unlike the other Hawkmoth you’re actually clever!’). How Marinette has always fought against Lila’s lies but is now perpetuating one herself that will probably turn out to be one of the most (unintentionally-don't attack my daughter) harmful ones in the show- and its to Adrien- one of the only people who didn't initially fall for Lila's lies.

How the thing- the lie that is going to break Adrien this season, that will guiltrip him over his final confrontation with his father, make him hate himself for not being there for the final battle, and make him feel the weight of a thousand revelations and implications and betrayal once revealed, comes not from the villain known for lying... but from Marinette.

There is something to be said about villains paralleling the hero, and BOY is this season going to be one of the most heartbreaking and craziest examples of it yet.

I keep thinking and laughing about this person who was really mad that I said that the insistence on "destroy the Veil" is a desire for a specific power fantasy and they cheered a frankly tepid rebuttal to my post with "OP having 'New Yorker' in bio like that's an ethnic identity and not a city is killing me, Americans need to be sedated", which is just such an incredibly funny attempt at a dig.

First, it isn't at all abnormal for people who live in major cities, regions, or countries to list them in their bio using the demonym form, especially when they lived there all their life. I've seen all sorts of demonyms that aren't denoting ethnic identity, or national for that matter, but a place association. Second, and even funnier, the precise next thing in my bio is "Pinay", an ethnic identity.

Like, this is a legitimately funny thing to say and think you're actually accomplishing anything clever or making a deep point. I keep thinking about it because it's just so incredibly misguided and hilarious. Like, truly thought something was being said there.

also, especially because it has no relation to any discussion about, like, Solas, the collapse of the Veil, or even narrative construction across the series

A group of 10 teenagers allegedly attacked two school buses belonging to the Jewish Free School (JFS) filled with students during a stop in London, England, Thursday.

The mob pelted the buses with rocks and trash before four of the teens allegedly boarded one of the buses, The Jewish Chronicle reported. (RELATED: Masked Attackers Target Jewish Students On DePaul University Campus)

“We heard what sounded like screaming from the bus behind us,” a 12-year-old student told the outlet. “People in the back of the bus were screaming, ‘oh my God, they are throwing trash and rocks,'” he said. The 12-year-old said that the mob threw “big heavy rocks” that they might have gotten from a nearby park.

“They were also swearing at us, saying, ‘F*ck Israel, nobody likes you. F*ck off you b*tches.’ They were filming us like they were enjoying it. There were lots of people in the street and no one tried to stop them. I hope that something like that won’t happen again because it made me scared,” the child said.

“They came on and they did not look friendly,” Gabi, an 11-year-old who was in the other bus, said. “They went upstairs and started swearing and showing the middle finger. I saw them when they ran downstairs – they were filming us – and then they got off and started throwing things at the bus. I don’t know where they got the rocks from – maybe they had them in their bags,” she said.

A parent of one of the Jewish students called the police. The Community Security Trust (CST), an English Jewish charity that defends Jews from terrorism and antisemitism, have taken action in the aftermath of the incident. “This stop is near another school and there has been trouble before from children from this other school. We are supporting JFS and speaking to the other school to see if they can deal with it,” Dave Rich, CST’s Director of Policy, told The Jewish Chronicle.

Rich said that CST suggested the London police ramp up their presence at the bus stop where the incident occurred. “Going forward, we have spoken with the bus company, and should there be any further incidents, the Police will be called immediately. On this occasion, there was a temporary driver. Their normal team has been driving the school buses for the last twenty years and do everything they can to keep your children safe,” JFS said in an email to the parents of the students.

JFS was founded as the Jews’ Free School in 1732, the organization’s website says. “JFS has grown to become one of the most renowned Jewish schools in the world, with a legacy of academic excellence, social responsibility, and communal engagement,” the website noted.

Antisemitism has spiked worldwide since Hamas’s bloody assault on southern Israel on Oct. 7, 2023. Anti-Jewish hate crimes rose over 50 percent in the United States alone in 2023 compared to 2022, according to FBI data. On Oct. 18, nearly two weeks after the Oct. 7 massacre, a synagogue in Germany was firebombed and European officials decried the rising tide of antisemitism across the continent.

A recent poll found that 12 percent of residents in France would welcome a “Jew-free” country.

i keep checking back in on lark to see how he's developed over the course of light fingers and so far he's still constantly doing the AM hate speech at the entirety of the neath. quite possibly with even more intensity than before. his character development is that he's somehow become Even More Neurotic. love that for him
