Pope Leo calls for news agencies to stand as bulwark against "post-truths," lies and manipulation Pope Leo XIV has encouraged international news agencies to stand firm as a bulwark against the "ancient art of lying" and manipulation.

Pope Leo quotes Hannah Arendt:

β€œThe ideal subject of totalitarian rule is not the convinced Nazi or the convinced Communist, but people for whom the distinction between fact and fiction and the distinction between true and false no longer exist."

Animal Rights, Moral Motivation, and the Experience of Wonder Despite being strong, arguments for animal rights often fail to motivate. One reason for this is that rights are associated with concepts, such as respect, that are difficult to apply to nonhuman ani...

My paper β€˜Animal Rights, Moral Motivation, and the Experience of Wonder’ onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/... has just been published at @the-joap.bsky.social In it, I argue for fostering a sense of wonder at individual nonhuman animals, & for making this the basis of a reverence-based respect.

Did animals provide the blueprints for human culture? | Aeon Essays Prehistoric humans didn’t create art and architecture out of nothing. They took inspiration from the nonhuman world

In England β€œwood with beaver facets [were found] in multiple human constructions, along with extensive networks of ancient beaver dams and channels that had been integrated into prehistoric settlements.”

A fascinating piece by Sarah Newman on how animals inspired culture 🦫

Some very excellent pro-animal signage found on a recent trip to NYC that emphasises animals' subjectivity - rather than just their capacity to suffer. Kudos to @peta.org πŸ‘πŸΌπŸ’šπŸ”πŸ¦

Old Man Trump - Wikipedia

"Beach Haven is Trump's Tower".
I had no idea such a song existed until five minutes ago, when my friend Mike Collett casually mentioned that "some pals and I were talking about Woody Guthrie at lunch the other day, and…."
Good Lord.
