I like how the caption on this photo reads as if he's making a claim that could not be independently verified.

Capitale de la création, Paris ne sera jamais la vitrine de l’ultra fast-fashion ! Je le redis, Shein n’a pas sa place à Paris !

@frankoconnor.bsky.social @judesherry.bsky.social This sign recently appeared on a derelict residential property near me recently. Do you know if this is part of a new initiative from the council? Am I naive to be optimistic, and for assuming the city council have a record of property owners?

I wrote my own Charlie Kirk obituary, and about valuing truth over manners: www.thenation.com/article/poli...

Trump goes half a weekend without committing an impeachable offense, and we all just assume he's dead.

Republic of the Condo

Whenever public opinion and international pressure becomes unignorable, offer a token concession that will diffuse momentum and act as a fig leaf, while maintaining the mass death and expulsion. It’s a playbook.

If you’re are looking for coverage of the Israeli campaign against the Palestinian people, you won’t find it in today’s @nytimes.com. Oh wait. 16th item from the top. An opinion piece: “No, Israel is not committing genocide in Gaza”.

Elderly relatives talking about you at family functions:

Weird they're showing Swan Lake on Fox right now

AOC: Donald Trump is a criminal. He was found guilty of 34 felony counts of fraud, found liable for sexual abuse. If he wants to find the rapists and criminals in this country, he should look in the mirror

Please make time to watch this stunning 17-minute talk from @carolecadwalla.bsky.social "This Is What a Digital Coup Looks Like" Then share it with all your networks! www.youtube.com/watch?v=TZOo...

The number of people travelling from Europe to the US in recent weeks has plummeted by as much as 35%, as travellers have cancelled plans in response to Trump’s policies and rhetoric.

I spent the last week in camps for Sudanese refugees in east Chad. This is the first piece, about international aid cuts & hunger. The kid at the end reminded me of my nephew. More coming next week. The heartbreaking photos are from Chris Maddaloni www.irishtimes.com/world/africa...

Air pollution has dropped significantly in #Paris in the last 15 years as a result of a deliberate strategy. Mayor @annehidalgo.bsky.social’s leadership has traded car space for green space, safe bike space, kid space.. and traded pollution for people. Good trade.

'Bluesky has overtaken its flailing rival X in hosting posts related to new academic research, indicating the platform is fast becoming the go-to place for scholars to share their work.'

What a humiliating way for an empire to collapse.

The resurrection circus keeps clowning, but make no mistake, Dire wolves remain very extinct. An angry, sweary piece by a frustrated geneticist. arutherford.substack.com/p/dire-wolve...

Bizarre Peter Navarro interview on CNN now, I’ve never seen anyone this deferential to someone who is evidently a jabbering fool.

Most consumers don't know this great hack......

Yes, Tesla stock is crashing, but it's only down to where it was during the October 24th rally. It's going to take sustained effort to sink it... but, if it sinks enough, Musk may be forced to sell Twitter because many securities were backed by Tesla stocks Act on this how you will

French Senator Claude Malhuret: "Washington has become Nero’s court, with an incendiary emperor, submissive courtiers and a jester high on ketamine... We were at war with a dictator, we are now at war with a dictator backed by a traitor."

So the Mexico-US-Canada World Cup is going to be interesting, huh

Timothy Snyder on the grotesque spectacle that played out in the oval office, and its horrifying implications.

An utterly gutless, insipid use of "alleged" and scare quotes here. Shamefully low standards of "journalism". Get to fuck with your swastikawashing

"Trump, Vance threaten to abandon Ukraine unless Zelensky accept Putin's terms."

Agree Thank you @mluckovich.bsky.social The MASTER I 'll never forget this one

103 years ago Sylvia Beach published #Ulysses on James Joyce’s 40th birthday. 3 years ago, we launched a podcast to help you read this life-altering book…with a little help from our friends. Begin today, finish by Bloomsday. Who wants to give it (another) go? 🎧 podfollow.com/sandcoulysses

Remember when "Ferris Bueller's Day Off" tried to teach us about tariffs and no one was paying attention

Musk's X announced it would feed Twitter users' content to train their Grok AI model. This was illegal under EU law. The DPC took them to court. X said that it would fight the DPC. Today it folded. Just in case you wondered how these things go. www.irishtimes.com/business/202...

The billionaire fantasy about colonising Mars is projection. Imagine dreaming of living on a soulless uninhabitable dead planet where we would be utterly reliant on technology for survival and where most would be in a form of servitude at the behest of a private company.
