Barely an hour ago, Palestinian journalist Anas Al-Sharif warned us all:

“If this madness doesn’t end, Gaza will be reduced to ruins, its people’s voices silenced, their faces erased — and history will remember you as silent witnesses to a genocide you chose not to stop.”

Israel just killed him.

How a Fiery Socialist Mayor Captured the Hearts of New York Voters—in 1911 Union College professor Andrew Morris tells us what Zohran Mamdani could learn from George Lunn's successes—and failures—as a four-term mayor of Schenectady.

More than a century ago, a young, charismatic socialist with the gift of gab decided to run for mayor in his NY town. He campaigned on a platform of affordability: City-run grocery stores, cheap fares for streetcars, taxing the rich, & good government. Sound familiar?

not many people know this but the real reason i emigrated from america was to escape ranch dressing

I did this with a pumpkin once, but I used rope and got the oddest shaped pumpkin come fall

Between a "No Other Land" crew mate filming himself being killed by a settler, to a journalist being killed by airstrikes he was covering minutes earlier, I'm not sure how much more televised Israel's genocide can be

That's Bonanas

they are murdering the people who tell the truth.

singer: (shouting) i can’t hear you

photo of a stubble field at dusk, with trees and hills in the background. in the middle of the field is a square stack of rectangular hay bales, it’s pretty tall

we shall worship the structure

1 comment: this doesn't sound like us. how can we make this right. please dm

What happens if you don’t do background checks or training for thousands of people and you give them all total authority?

ICE has been caught looting and destroying property at Pittsburgh restaurants. They even tried to break into the safes. They loaded food, supplies and equipment into vehicles

Photo of a log with a hole in it that looks very much like the shape of a little winged fairy.

I stumbled on an old photo I took in my local park of a fairy crash site. It's not there any more - the log's rotted - but I think about that fairy often.

Oh, damn. You'd imagine by now I'd know you have to switch the oven on to get hot food.

despite all my capes I am still just a man not a mage

I’ve never seen anything like this in my life. My gas mask paid for itself within the first minute the ice agents came out of the building. They escalated to this immediately, like it was a war zone- flash bombs, various gasses…

#fightfascism #fuckice

it's illegal for aliens zap me with their ray guns but the law is totally unenforcable which they know full well, so of course they're chasin me up n down the park all night zappin with impunity. laughin. and hell, i'm laughin too. i love these little guys. sometimes i get to push em on the swings 😊

A man with a spectacular 1970s mullet, wearing big wellies and a v-neck jumper over a T-shirt, looks at camera as he stands on a boat which is itself standing on the muddy bottom of an empty canal. He is holding up an enormous wooden plug on a long chunky chain

Today is the 47th anniversary of this clearly unimprovable photo, from a story so absurd that it shouldn’t be true, but is: the day a team of workers from British Waterways pulled the plug out of the Chesterfield Canal, and all the water emptied out

Oh good, so everyone can still see Indiana's negative space.

You just need a tiny label and a picture of a corn cob to drop in the hole.

Goodwill allowed me to become a bit of a connoisseur of these... Does it use the state boundaries for the piece shapes? There are some that don't!

Watch: We disrupted the live broadcast of Big Brother Israel last night to call for an end to the annihilation in Gaza and abandonment of the hostages because we can’t continue with routine right now! There can’t be business as usual! (1/2)

Bluesky is news you can use.

There is a TikTok making the rounds of a woman crying after seeing her child's kindergarten classroom and finding it "underwhelming" and "not cute." I am married to a teacher who began his career teaching at the elementary level and I have a few things to say. 🧵

Yeah, I dunno, definitely seen way worse. It's a very good cartoon mansion

It’s coming up on the anniversary of the August 12, 2017 Charlottesville Unite the Right Rally, when James Fields drove his car through a crowd, killing Heather Heyer and injuring dozens. I was a medic that day on a unit that cared for and transported several people, including Ms. Heyer.
