Zohran Mamdani tells CNN: "If Netanyahu comes to deliver a speech at the United Nations General Assembly in New York next year while I am mayor, I will move to honour the ICC arrest warrant issued in The Hague against him, just as I would against Putin. He is responsible for the genocide in Gaza.”

See, sometimes I regret that depression robbed me of my ability to write, but then I see stuff like this and it's like... "I'm fine."

The language of non-consent around AI is really telling. "It's too late to be scared." "It's here whether we want it or not." "You'll have to learn to work with it." "You can't fight the inevitable." All just variations of "you're not allowed to say no." Creepy technology made by creepy people.

Being a person with autism has not been easy but the reason it hasn't been easy- is because non-autistic people are not taught how to interact with autistic people. Autistic people are expected to socially mask & neurotypicals generally don't have even a base idea of how autistic people communicate.

OMG, our president expelled the whole Israel diplomatic cohort just now!!!

This black #kyanite look is called "Witches Broom". It's October, ergo spooky season has started. Hence, you should clearly vote for #kyanite. #MinCup #MinCup25 The other guy is cool too though.

A climatologist told me it’s not normal for it to be this hot right now An epidemiologist told me it’s not normal for so many to be sick right now A historian told me it’s not normal for the government to be shutdown right now It’s not normal, my friends, it’s not normal.

JUST IN: Jane Goodall, primatologist who transformed our understanding of the lives of apes, has died, according to an announcement from the Jane Goodall Institute.

In food history, we notice how super-refined foods--gelatin, vienna sausage, white bread--lose class and become horrifying once they become industrialized. Suddenly, fingermarks in bread dough demonstrate skill, not clumsiness. Post-chatGPT, I'm feeling this about writing. Smoothness feels gross.

I believe this is a winner in the #goth eye spy game - crow on gravestone as seen through a rain bejewelled spiderweb.

It's here! Roadkill is out in the world. I can't in good conscience recommend it to all readers. A sad and angry book. 90% of the animal characters are dead at the outset & the humans don't fare much better. But if you're in the mood for an unconventional eco-horror experience, links in comments!

Goodnight from Meek’s Ironmongery in Barwell, where the resident poltergeist is hammering nails into the walls to spell out some deeply rude words. Goodnight from David Moody, hearing the crow that lives in his stomach caw at the approach of the Wicker King. Goodnight from Hookland.

Trying to make a distinction from "this is art the artist makes to deal with trauma" and "this is the artist's very clear fetish" puts the privacy of real life victims at risk. I shouldn't have to give you a laundry list of all my triggers and traumas for you to decide my art has the right to exist

A lot of people think that every international student admitted means one fewer spot for domestic students, when the opposite is more likely true - the tuition revenue international students bring allows public universities to provide substantial discounts to domestic students, improving access.

Bluesky leadership has been doing this thing where they frame all objections to their censorship as "Oh, you support posting SEX CRIMES??? GO MAKE YOUR OWN APP, PERVERT!!" Bluesky censored the literal Keystone Cops for violence. They flagged a Victorian trick film for violence. Sit the hell down.

The Pro-European PAS party has secured 51 seats, an absolute majority in Moldova’s parliament. A good result and a slap in the face for Putin.

Zelenskyy telling it like it is: “We are grateful to everyone around the world who helps to reinforce international law and rebuild countries after Bashar al-Assad and other douchebags leave them in ruins.”

Goddam but i would like at least a few months of good news at a scale and speed which matches and overtakes all this bad

Here’s the video of Colombian President Gustavo Petro.

It's pretty wild to me that investigators have uncovered that anti-trans campaigns are largely funded by the fossil fuel industry, and that the presumed motivations are pretty directly to redirect the public conversation away from climate change... and that this isn't bigger news.

This is so funny (the US revoked our president's visa bc he led a protest in favour of Palestine while he was in the US for the UN meeting), bc Petro is mostly a terrible president, but his position on Palestine has always been flawless.

None of these are in focus, but that doesn’t diminish how much I love this set I have in which someone was trying to get a good photo of their kitten.

London folks: We are trying to find the location of an old fuel works people tried to burn down during the 1926 general strike. On North Street in Charlton/Greenwich: the Medway Oil and Storage Company. Could anyone help us find where this was? Thanks for any assistance!

This could be huge. Ukraine says it suspects Hungarian “entities” of conducting reconnaissance on Ukrainian targets and then passing intel to Russia. Hungarian drones were tracked in Ukrainian border areas shortly before a Russian cruise missile site on a plant.

I don't know who is more displeased with my cleaning and reorganising the space under the bed, the spiders, the cats, or me.
