it's so nice to see what a functioning judiciary looks like "A transgender woman in the East African nation of Kenya has won a landmark court victory in which the judge not only found in her favour, but ordered the government to pass a Transgender Protection Rights Act." fuck yeah

One of my fave reads of the year!

Since we're thinking about Lumumba's assassination and torture today, Bunche, an important figure in the formation of the UN, and a diplomat involved in Congolese decolonization, denounced a demonstration against his killing in 1961 at the UN and apologized for the disruption they had caused.

News from Finland. A 9-year-old lost an especially good stick he’d had since he was 2. He hung up 20 posters. A few days later it was returned. It had been found by a 2-year-old, who wanted to keep it for herself, but her mother made her return it. She got toys, flowers and candy as a reward.

If that's the case can you explain this?

Watched Highest 2 Lowest and it was so awful... You can't "love letter to the city of New York" your way out of this one, Spike Lee!

if flying monkey, why friend shaped?

So cool! Congratulations!

You can blame 8-4-4 for everything if you squint a little at the evidence

The greatest minds in history are on the case

I tried to see if I could detect which of these stories are AI - I got them all right lol mark---lawrence.blogspot.com/2025/08/so-i...

Godfather of Harlem is an amazing show, criminally underrated. You need to witness Forest Whitaker's performance as Bumpy Johnson, his charisma oozes off the screen. I especially love his scenes with Vincent D'Onofrio - they're fantastic together!

Challenged myself to write fantasy, but got a sci-fi idea & started working on that, but I got stuck in the middle so I started writing poetry, but the poetry gave me an idea for a horror instead, but I was getting too sidetracked so I started reading a memoir that would help with the fantasy short
