More than 80 years after World War Two ended, bombs continue to kill and maim people in the Solomon Islands. A new documentary, The War Below: Restoring Hope in the Solomon Islands, by Auckland journalists Tuki Laumea and Cleo Fraser, aims to raise awareness and galvanise support for victims

It is a fact that the 2026 FIFA World Cup is not a fair tournament for all the teams. We simply cannot say that all teams are competing on an equal playing field because they’re not. FIFA failed to guarantee its own rules. Infantino chose Trump over football, it’s really that simple.

In a sane world there would be International Arrest Warrants naming every Oil, Gas & Coal billionaire for climate crimes against humanity

Indigenous Australian astronomy is fascinating. It was used for long-distance navigation and trade. As well as stars and constellations, it includes dark clouds in the Milky Way; three are the delightful Warlpiri creators "Froglady Earthmother and her two husbands, Rainbow and Sky Boss".

I genuinely love this bonkers film. Peter O'Toole! Peter Cook! All the Witchy stuff is high camp.

Genuinely incredible how Google has actively turned their search engine into a useless worthless crock of shit as a deliberate and intentional business strategy. Not even trying to give you what you want anymore. "I ignored half the words you used and shat this out, is this it?" No, no it isn't.

Our radical educational film collective just entered its third year! This project has been life-changing for me. A whole community has formed around these screenings. These are the films we’ve shown so far. Check out our IG: instagram.com/resistanceci...

Their goal is to institutionalize & legitimize the fascist turn, not unlike the earlier "viewpoint diversity" initiative that was designed to permanently embed discredited fascist & theocratic ideas in the university.

you have to understand, that no one puts their children in a boat unless the water is safer than the land -from 'Home' by British-Somali poet, Warsan Shire

We only have 2 days left... and we are so close. Only £100 remains to keep a safe home over our children's heads.🙏 If you are able to help with any amount, no matter how small, it will bring us one step closer to security for another month. ❤️ Thank you for your endless love and support. 🤍

It says much about these divided times that an organisation like the Citizens Advice service, a byword for old-fashioned kindness & decency, has decided it must now fight the far-right in our poorest communities to stop the demonisation tearing society apart My @heraldscotland.bsky.social long read

Terrible news here for anyone who imagined that having so disastrously fucked everybody, Sir Keir might now go away so that at least we will never have to hear from him ever again.

I now fervently believe this. Relatedly, I think celebrating good news and embracing joy are equally radical. You have to remember what you’re fighting for. We cannot sustainably organize around sorrow.

UN issued a 94-page detailed report documenting that the Israeli Govt committed genocide by deliberately targeting Palestinian children—killing 20,000+ Silence to this atrocity is complicity with this atrocity. Stop listening to any journalist, and vote out every politician, silent on this genocide

The right wing in Europe and US are openly inciting & celebrating violence against Muslims & anyone who LOOKS Muslimy. That means Brown & Black people. These are elected officials & Musk, not just the fringe. People are going to die as a result of this. Establishment hacks are also complicit.

Jesus. 68,900 reported missing in Venezuela.

I’m coming to understand that maintaining hope is radical.

What I would get if I was shopping the Criterion sale: 💿 Three Revolutionary Films by Ousmane Sembène 💿 El (1953) #LuisBunuel 💿 In the Mood for Love (2000) #WongKarWai 💿 Nothing But a Man (1964) #MichaelRoemer #criterionsale #criterion #filmsky

Background: Charlie noticed this strange version of a well-known concept art piece by Ralph McQuarrie for Star Wars (1977) in the recent book about ILM (which, other than that, is apparently fantastic). So he wanted to know if it was a printing error. But it looks more like a botched upscaling job.

Okay so this image (#alttext a concept painting of Y-Wings attacking the Death Star in Star Wars ) looks like it has a weird filter on it, compared to the actual painting (below). It’s an ugly blemish on an otherwise amazing book and I don’t know what to do other than grin and bear it.

Fucking BULLSHIT. Boycott the LA Olympics. It's going to be this kind of garbage all day long. Fuck this. We're embarrassing ourselves globally.

So good

This is unconscionable.

Just finished John Wyndham’s 1968 novel ‘Chocky’, a slim work much lighter in tone than the apocalyptic tales that made his name in the 50s. Here the alien ‘infiltration’ is generally a more benign affair, but with a healthy side-swipe at the potential for human greed & self-interest along the way.
