I’m so jealous of this concept. I’m definitely stealing it, but with a twist: one revolutionary figure from each World Cup country.

It’s my 7th #WorldCup ancient relic from each country in the World Cup. It’s BRAZIL 🇧🇷 This anthropomorphic pot looks big, but it’s only a foot high. Its two sleepy looking eyes are encircled by sinuous snakes & it wears ear ornaments. It’s a human figure, but looks very owl like 🕰️c400-1300

Trump couldn’t stop this 😃 #worldcup

Iran unveiled this memorial in honor of the 168 children and teachers who lost their lives in the U.S.-Israeli attack on Shajarat al-Tayyiba Primary School in Minab on February 28, 2026.

Ernaux: “Riddled schools, buildings, hospitals, dead or maimed children, an entire population trying to flee the bombs. A feeling that there’s something I should be doing, yet I’m not. A feeling that turns the act of writing into something worthless, even cowardly.”

Journalists from Dutch newspaper verified 114 cases of children under 15 being struck by single bullets to head or chest, with medical experts saying pattern suggests deliberate targeting www.volkskrant.nl/kijkverder/v...

Wish Galeano was still around to write a sequel to “Soccer in Sun and Shadow.” I love that book. His insights on today's football would've been legendary.

Iranians celebrate the launch of missiles toward northern Israel after Beirut was bombed earlier today. Beautiful..

“Segui il tuo corso, e lascia dir le genti.” (Follow your own course, and let people talk.) This Dante quote, which Marx included in the preface to Capital, is for my weary friends who need motivation.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

Sad you missed out on Karl Marx's supposed dominance over university curricula? It's not too late! I've made 7 free semester-long online courses to help you read Marx: davidharvey.org/reading-capi...

Another day another coup in Turkey

Proposed changes to Italy’s school curriculum that would remove the study of Karl Marx while emphasising conservative Italian thought have been met with a fierce backlash among philosophers. www.irishtimes.com/world/europe...

“Well, the reason why Marx is so special is that his definition of capital is value in motion. It’s a process, not a thing. Whereas bourgeois economics treats capital as an asset… a thing. I always ask students, “do you live your life as a process or as a thing?” David Harvey

Lol

They literally turned the whole “I’ll give you $20 if you meow at strangers in a supermarket” thing into a real platform called Dare MarketPeople set the challenge and the reward, others film themselves doing it and upload the video for cash kfkfkf

the sigh of the oppressed creature

I didn’t even notice Pennywise popping up behind the Losers in that scene until someone pointed it out 😭 sneaky bastard lol

What’s happening in Moscow

Hey, hey, it's MAY DAY. You know what to do... No School! No Work! No Shopping! #TaxTheOligarchs
