The piece is by @ekesa.bsky.social and is darkly comedic, especially if you (like me) don’t know all that much about Clavicular www.themoscowtimes.com/2026/07/21/i...

1. In an incredible new landmark review, the Health Council of the Netherlands has declared that gender-affirming care for trans youth works, reducing wait times is "morally urgent," and regret is rare. It is the latest of many Euro countries to advance care. Subscribe to support our journalism.

15 years ago today a white supremacist — opposed to “multiculturalism” and feminism — killed 77 in Norway. When the language of racism and misogyny are normalised as “just words” and “free speech” we wallow in historical ignorance. The line between language and violence is straight and unbroken.

"Every gun that is made, every warship launched, every rocket fired signifies, in the final sense, a theft from those who hunger and are not fed, those who are cold and are not clothed. This world in arms is not spending money alone. It is spending the sweat of its laborers, the genius of its

#Ootd is this 1960-61 Balenciaga dress. It's made of green damask satin with a peony-like pattern. Note that the waist drops down at the back and the skirts is connected to the bodice with gathers, making a slightly bustle. The deep-V in the back is most striking. #fashionhistory

One of my views in Katmai National Park last week. Count the bears! The salmon are coming in and the bears are hungry!

Anyway I had to stop because I ran out of beads but I started out with a pine dowel rod and unfinished wooden beads. I do think this is my new favorite thing

OpenAI admits its models hacked another company in 'unprecedented cyber incident'

Why didn't the eagles just fly Odysseus straight to Ithaca

I live alone, but when I got home from volunteering this morning, someone had fed the cat. Broke into my house and fed the cat and then I thought nobody was in your house. You’re just losing your mind. 4 hours later, my cat sitter sends me photos of my cat. She had gotten the dates wrong.

PSA on the Victoria Line tube in London. Phillipson and every other GC weirdo needs to take note.

I've never seen anything like it. Salta, Argentina, has just recorded its hottest night on record during the climatologically coldest time of the year. The minimum overnight temperature did not fall below 26°C (78.8°F), pulverizing the previous monthly record by 7°C.

Yes, care organisations across the world pull these stunts. I was offered "re-ablement" and said, "That's inappropriate because I am getting worse, not better." Response: "Oh, no problem, you can progress from re-ablement to permanent care!" Of course, permanent care was never offered.

it was for @us.theguardian.com … for a civil liberties reporter job! does this comport with new york state human rights law?

I’m at the level of amateur astronomy where they have to write this on the telescope

Almost fully inflated

I'm unsure about the specific accuracy of the tipping portion of this, but it is absolutely true that the New Deal made carve outs in places for professions that were disproportionately Black folks. Attempts to fix that are also part of what led to the southerners finding the tools to dismantle...

Not quite as funny as the Cristiano Ronaldo one but a solid 9/10.

This will cause a South Korea-like disaster.

"The number of animals farmed worldwide has increased by ½ in the last 2 decades. The rising demand for meat comes at a time when agricultural land is becoming less fertile. ~90% of water withdrawn from natural systems for irrigation is used to grow animal feed." Trends going ↑ instead of ↓ =😳

I mean, Mahmood is literally the last person I'd have kept in their role

Just when you think you've seen every possible form of bodging you notice some grey lines on the joists... Turns out some floorboard nails had been sticking up, so instead of pulling them out, Tradesman Of Yore had HAMMERED THEM more or less flat on the joists and dumped floorboards on top.

I would pay a monthly subscription fee for this kind of thing, give me the Meta glasses force field pls

May have carried them in hide waterskins, apparently. Fascinating!

This thread is a thing of beauty

We built a stadium in a swamp. It sank into the swamp. Then we built a new stadium on top of it. It sank into the swamp. The third fell over, caught fire, and sank into the swamp. But this stadium will probably not sink into the swamp.

I'm not posting Odyssey memes because one must be wary of GIFs bearing Greeks.

Absolutely incredible thread. 11/10. HOW DOES IT KEEP ON GETTING BETTER.

Decades ago I brought my late dog Vlo to a medieval re-enactment event. I wasn't sure if she would enjoy it but mere minutes after arriving I hear people shouting something about being robbed and Vlo was happy.

I'm not saying the staff at the Gamla Uppsala museum are getting upset but... 😁 www.instagram.com/p/Da7c-HhsCb_/

I’m not a Labour man but Mahmood, who has overseen economically damaging immigration policy at the Home Office would be an odd choice for Chancellor. It’s also baffling that her opposition to modernising energy is cited in support. giftarticle.ft.com/giftarticle/...

Bloody hell! Someone's been charged with a criminal offence for celebrating Anne Widdecombe's death (before we knew she'd been murdered, it appears). I wouldn't have said what she did, but this is not my idea of a crime??

Congratulate me! When my glasses fell off my mask as I picked up dog poop this morning, I caught them with my leash hand not my poop bag hand. It could have gone either way.

(also it's clever and unexpected in exactly the ways AI isn't - at one point the adventurer is in a poetry contest with a spider and his poem is really bad and he wins the contest anyway because the spider he's competing with does the same poem every year and they're all sick of it)

Forcing kids to use "A.i." to make comics is child abuse. A miserable undertaking that robs kids of the human experience of writing and thinking and drawing and seeing. A pox on this company and all those like it.

If you are going to have a floral dress then you may as well go all out & turn yourself into a bloom, bursting forth in fragile petals.

Last year, I made this quilt about what it's like to have asthma in the time of climate change. I just keep looking over at it today, being sad. The point of this quilt is to help anyone whose lungs work OK understand what it's like for those of us with shitty lungs. Thought it made sense to share.

The asshole administration is planning to remove the mining buffer around Chaco Canyon in New Mexico. This is being done without tribal or expert input and the public comment time is incredibly, and cowardly short. Please comment to help try and save Chaco. www.koat.com/article/chac...

yeah it's chilling... i'm becoming very chill looking at this...

HMRC wrongly targeted hundreds of families in Northern Ireland as Labour continued embracing benefit scrounger narratives.
