Some thoughts on why Remembrance is so important, and why attempts to police it should be resisted.

He lacks the ordnance of words. A self-portrait shows stitches where his mouth should be; eyes like empty casings. He left a part of himself in the desert, this ultra-Marine… —Sandra Ireland, “Ultramarine” published in New Writing Scotland 36 (2018) #RemembranceSunday #poem #poetry

Well how do you do, Private William McBride? Do you mind if I sit here down by your graveside? And I’ll rest for a while in the warm summer sun, I’ve been walking all day long, and I’m nearly done… —Eric Bogle, “No Man’s Land” #RemembranceSunday www.youtube.com/watch?v=PxwB...

The Istanbul Chief Public Prosecutor’s Office has issued an arrest warrant for Netanyahu on charges of genocide.

Of 102 "antisemitism" complaints against US universities reviewed by experts, all but one were actually criticisms of Israel. Nonetheless, 92 of these complaints led to the US government launching a formal investigation of the university in question.

FFS!

oh noes some people from a different culture moved in I think I will obsess about it day and night and forget to enjoy this twinkle of time I have as a sentient being in an endless swirl of dust and gas we call existence

Change my mind. I’ll wait.

Sandwich guy acquitted of misdemeanor charges - after federal grand jury refused to indict him on felony assault charges - by jury that apparently had sandwiches for lunch! He’s immortalized by banksy. The DO(in)J is no doubt outraged.

Marco Rubio was a big player in this. Every senator who voted for him should be ousted.

Great letter in today's Irish Times highlighting our government's absolute refusal to reflect the will of the majority of people here who want sanctions on apartheid Israel for its genocidal crimes against Palestinians. They promised they would enact the #OccupiedTerritoriesBill, where is it?

So there’s a website called Deer Of St Nicholas which posts Christmas wish letters from Ukrainian children who had their childhood stolen by the war, anyone can pick a child and get them their present and it’s that time of the year again to achingly scroll it for hours again

If sandwich shops don’t start offering a sandwich named “the acquittal” then what are we even doing

Calm settled over the inlet, the mist rose like a long sigh after the relentless rain. And a gift appeared: a rainbow. Partial yet radiant, its colors sharp and clear. Take care, everyone 🌈 #Rainbow #PNW

It’s just a shame all these oil and mineral-rich nations keep belligerently provoking the United States into military action at a moment where its status as the unipolar world hegemon is being called into question

The latest report shows that the estimated number of endangered vaquita porpoises has modestly increased

Vital piece of investigative reporting from Sky. They've uncovered the X algorithm which feeds users extremist right wing material from the moment they join the site. It is a far-right radicalisation engine, by design. news.sky.com/story/the-x-...
