"ако някое издателство се оплаче, че електронна библиотека „пиратства“ книгите му, цялата репресивна мощ на ГДБОП се стоварва върху нея, а когато преводачите негодуват, че едно или друго издателство пуска без позволение електронни издания на техни преводи или

за пореден път - позитивизъм е течение във философията и науката, търсената дума е позитивност или оптимизъм!

Fascinating

Glory hole, ама с дюнери. (Най-сетне и на мен да ми хрумне бизнес идея.)

Was rumored and now confirmed. Qatar struck a deal with Iran, shutting down gas production, in exchange for an agreement that Iran would refrain from further strikes on Ras Laffan. www.washingtonpost.com/world/2026/0...

Half of all data centers expected to open in 2026 will be delayed or simply canceled. prospect.org?p=139167

“Biden wasted his term, which should have been spent gutting out corruption, expanding SCOTUS, and restoring the VRA. I wrote in 2023 that Biden was a Placeholder President for Trump. Both parties are owned by oligarchs tied to organized crime.” Until we face this, we’re doomed.

След рязане на културата и майчинството, остава Радев да предложи и правото на глас да е вързано с net worth, и целите 0,8% твърд електорат на ДСБ ще се подмокрят и партията ще изчезне

"In two years Gaza has lost the progress made over the past 77" if you're still clinging on the self-defence excuse, you're a moral failure of a human being

If we had universal basic income and I didn’t have to fight tooth and nail to survive. My art would be wicked cheap if not completely free I’d make shit for everyone

Look, plantar fascitis sucks but I think this guy has bigger issues going on

Republican Ben Moss pulled his name from North Carolina House Bill 1232. The bill that would give legal protection for anyone to hunt down and murder a woman if they suspect she might be seeking an abortion. He still believes in the bill, he just doesn't want the public to associate him with it.

I'm concerned people think I'm joking about this.

David Graeber explained that hopelessness is manufactured Socialism can never be seen to win, as if it does win, it'd give hope to people across the world that alternatives to neoliberalism are possible Its why Corbyn had to be crushed & why they're now so desperate to crush Socialism in Bolivia

“We’re probably seeing the final days of American empire in the Middle East,” he said. “Across the Gulf, there is complete disillusionment with American influence and the ability of America to lead.” www.theguardian.com/world/2026/m...

Israel Rapes Everyone, And Other Notes International flotilla activists say they were subjected to torture and sexual assault by Israeli forces after being abducted in international waters while attempting to bring aid to Gaza. www.caitlinjohnst.one/p/israel-rap...

'The West' must check its own authoritarianism if for nothing else than to be able to raise its eyebrows at Turkey

"stripping them of their protected status under international law" с други думипоредна стъпка към заличаване на следите от палестинската история и живот на тези места. това не е ли един от компонентите на геноцида, за неубедените от стотиците хилдяди избити?

If this is what the Israeli authorities do to people the world is watching, imagine what they do to people with no voice and no visibility. www.theguardian.com/world/2026/m...

#TheatreFriday - The Hellenistic theatre on Pergamon's Upper Acropolis (Turkey) is the steepest in the ancient world, carved into a hillside in the 3rd century BC with 78 rows for about 10,000 spectators. It was later used in the Roman period with some modifications.

It's so funny how they're trying to tell us the Ben-Gvir video does not represent Israel's values after we just spent days consuming mountains of evidence that Israel tortures prisoners using trained rape dogs.

Doordash only became essential after women joined the workforce, leaving men no other way to obtain food. But nobody wants to talk about that

точно така. българският във всички сфери вече звучи по едик и същи начин и наборът от "допустими" думи все повече се стеснява - помня писах по време на миналите олимпийски игри какво удоволствие беше да слушам един възрастен коментатор, който не се притесняваше

I forgot to tell you that one of my students is changing her department from linguistics to literature because Chomsky was an Epsteiner

SCHMIDT: AI is going to affect science. CROWD: Boooooo! SCHMIDT: Oh you don't like science.

A friend gave me this pin. I like it.

Всички помнят къде са били на 9/11, но никой няма да помни, къде е бил Геноцида '26та - истинската банг-банга-ранга #Евровизия

The problem is not the idea that if you invest resources in something, you shouldn’t expect a return. That is sensible. The problem is that the word “return” has been so narrowed as to mean only “money.“ Institutions cannot see the non-monetary returns on investment as *returns.*

Huge concern in New York that Zohran Mamdani is spending $122 million on schools and hiring 1,000 school teachers when that money could be buying bombs for Israel

our current regime does not want to to disappoint the oil industry - all those record setting profits & subsidies. we need to purge all elected officials that like the status quo

"the dramatic cost declines in batteries have now made 'firm renewables' — solar or wind paired with batteries — cheaper than fossil fuels in many parts of the world." This is game changing.

Genre glitching: a new sign of AI-assisted writing? Thanks to @doremus-schafer.bsky.social and @srettberg.bsky.social who shared the two examples of this that I discuss in today's blog post. Please please please send me any other examples you see of this! jilltxt.net/genre-glitch...

Seljuks had taste in masonry not gonna lie. Allahu akbar lads

"storm through Muslim quarter" so a pogrom then? how is this anything but a pogrom?

Great little piece by @semi_rad.

Нищо за гледане няма тук. Така е в цивилизованите народи, така добре подкрепени от българите. Я кажете Израел или Дара би на Евровизията? И Радев обади ли се на някой друг вече или само на дружката Биби?

ей затва ми е жалък антикомунизмът на живелите в соца - не е справедлив гняв срещу несвободата и потисничеството, а дребнотемно озлобление. как си против мракобесния режим, ако лелеяш за механизмите му за забрани и ограничения

Feeling overwhelmed with all of this. LISTEN. Another Louisiana resident (Marshawn is the only name we have) testifies against the state’s racial gerrymander, speaking truth to power up and down the hearing room and predicts how this story will end. Speak your truth, fight and believe.

If the students had not encamped Nicholas Kristoff (of all fucking people) wouldn’t have written about Palestinian rape. Im going to say it again & again : just because a movement doesn’t accomplish its objectives, just because it’s brutalized, doesn’t mean it doesn’t change its world.

There’s no limit to their cruelty.

A friend just sent me this perfect piece by Karel Čapek, trans. Dora Round, ‘From the Point of View of a Cat’.

I love being able to have healthcare and pay my mortgage. Unfortunately, I will miss the peace of being unemployed.

Аз мисля че когато министър лъже за участието на България в чужда война, без санкция от НС, нямаща нищо общо с НАТО, заклеймена от много държави в НАТО и която ни прави легитимна военна цел, трябва да е огромен скандал. Но после чета коментарите в Дневник и разбирам че съм крайноляв ислямист…
