Son mari avait été la première victime de l’explosion du réacteur numéro 4 de Tchernobyl en 1986. Veuve depuis près de 40 ans, Natalia Khodemtchouk a été tuée par une attaque de drones sur Kyiv hier. Une vie passée à subir la politique de Moscou.

Impresionante homenaje al pueblo palestino con los jugadores de Palestina y la selección vasca abrazados al terminar el histórico partido solidario en San Mamés. ¡Vivan Euskal Herria y Palestina libres!

Este es el mosaico gigante de las banderas de Palestina y Euskadi en el histórico partido solidario en San Mamés. Impresionante.

Insulting to the players, insulting to the IP, insulting to the medium, the developers. And the craft itself. Fuck you executives who pushed this garbage. frvr.com/blog/call-of...

happy halloween i am ready to confuse some trick-or-treaters

The people who wanted you to believe liberal interventionism was a lesser evil that no-one cared about anyway now want you to believe the consequences of liberal interventionism must be bordered off because not enough people care about human suffering. The problem is them. It has always been them.

APPLE MOVED THEIR TECHNICAL DOCUMENTATION TEAM TO AN OFFICE WITH NO SHELVES AND GAVE AWAY ALL THEIR BOOKS ?????????

I think Chi should run anyway. If those folks need to maintain plausible deniablility to work with the famously thin-skinned Jeffries, so be it, but he needs a primary.

🚨 SHOCKING 🚨 A HUGE illegal waste dump has appeared between the A34 and River Cherwell, linked to organised crime. Every rainfall risks toxins washing into the river. We’re calling on the Environment Agency & Cherwell Council to act NOW. Our rivers cannot wait. 👇👇

sideburns being named after general burnsides sounds like one of those apocryphal folk legends except it's true. They're literally named after this guy

Aristotle and Freud are funny because their major contributions to their fields are “maybe we should seriously think about things”, and then they just didn’t do that

Did it have "bribe for tariffs" engraved on there? Well then there you are

You know who would have published a good obit of Alice Wong? Teen Vogue. But they closed it, just a week before Alice died, screwing her out of her columnist gig a week before her death and making sure TV didn’t cover her death, Dick Cheney’s death or Mamdani’s win. Thanks, Anna Wintour!!!

I see Clinton, Kelly, and Bondi are trending. I don't what to know what's going on, so honestly don't tell me it's not gotten through my filters, but just to confirm: they didn't have a threesome right? ...actually I also don't want to know that, either. Nevermind. I don't want to know anything.

Freed Palestinian child prisoners recount torture in Israeli custody. “I couldn't sleep for even a moment due to the overwhelming pain and fear. At times, I would lose control and wet myself from sheer terror. The metal handcuffs were painfully tight.” www.middleeasteye.net/news/prison-...

Me, as my 6 year-old shows me cool screenshots on r/KerbalSpaceProgram when he's never been on Reddit and doesn't even know how to use a browser: HOW DID YOU GET THERE Him, showing the "share on Reddit" icon on the KSP game he's doing: "I thought it would bring me to an alien, and I was right!! :D"

Alice is no longer here to advocate for this organizing effort. But the rest of us are. bsky.app/profile/pipa...

May my friend @sfdirewolf.bsky.social rest in power. I will especially miss texting with her about Star Trek. We were lucky, all of us, to have Alice and her warmth and enthusiasm. www.instagram.com/p/DREMDNBjnq...

A group of scientists has called on EC president Ursula von der Leyen to retract a statement she made suggesting A.I. would soon reach parity with human intelligence. Her statements were based on marketing statements from US Tech firms not empirical evidence or real proof. #ResistAI

Apparently, the local beaver has big construction plans--plans that involve taking down this entire stand of creek-side trees.

Oh no this one is an anime I want to see too Or 19th-century novel but I feel the anime treatment would be more fun and modern

Amazing podcast from @alexjubelin.bsky.social about the situation in Mali. @simnasr.bsky.social is cool to read but he's truly fantastic to listen to! Brilliant take, which makes space for personal issues at the top, gloabal influences and basic facts on the ground lerubicon.org/collimateur-...

I came to this country as a child refugee. No English, no certainty, no idea what my life could become. Britain gave me refuge. Not on a timer, not with conditions attached, but with a chance to grow roots. A thread 🧵 1/8 www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Bad things keep happening and the population of Bluesky is handling it badly. Anybody with a book to sell is “a grifter”. Every theory that differs from yours is “a conspiracy theory”. What little kindness I see in my timeline is reserved for the dead, and even then it’s a platform to hate others

6 months ago, hundreds of academics warned against appeasing the far right we were proved 1,000% correct - it did strengthen them now labour is doubling down with a stupid, cruel, & illiberal plan to deport legal refugees

The folks I’m writing about in the 40s and 50s would be cheering all of you on! And their spirits are there in YRL, keeping the fire burning!

🧵!! All I know is, in the basement of the UCLA library are 🔥 papers of men and women who went through the Red Scare & were vindicated in the end. It gives me hope, as @olufemiotaiwo.bsky.social likes to remind us, that despite these institutions, we are going to win.

It’s dance show weekend for my daughter, she’s been my own little muse for my dance embroideries. As a senior now she’s got lots of costume changes to do, so I’m looking forward to watching and getting more inspired… Wish her luck! 😊🪡🩰 #stitchedart #thesewingsongbird

“The Palestinians had no idea where they were bundled off to, only when in Kenya did they realise they were coming to South Africa. Some had visas for Canada, Australia and Malaysia, they were eventually permitted to leave for those countries.” www.theguardian.com/world/2025/n...

Fucking hell what does a girl have to do to get put on an enemies list these days. Do I have to actually start a death cult? Ugh.
