One Night Only. Coast to Coast. Together.
On October 16, join us for a nationwide simulcast of WISDOM OF HAPPINESS — a rare film experience with His Holiness the Dalai Lama.
This isn’t just a movie — it’s a moment of Compassion, Connection, and Reflection in the Year of Compassion.

Today is the 75th anniversary of China’s invasion of Tibet. In the following decades, Tibetans have been forced into exile, imprisoned, and have died under the strict control of China.

Today, we must continue to raise #Tibet.

"If, during the regular course of a work week or at a major community event the cops are around every corner, why wouldn’t they also make random cameos during ICE raids?" writes Ian F. Blair.

Russian shelling cuts power to decommissioned Chernobyl nuclear power plant Russian air strikes have cut power to the decommissioned Chernobyl nuclear power plant, Ukraine's Energy Ministry said on Wednesday, including a new containment unit erected to minimise contamination from the world's biggest nuclear accident.

Graph from NetBlocks showing network connectivity by region in Ukraine from September 28, 2025, to October 1, 2025. The y-axis represents normalized connectivity, ranging from 0% to 100%, and the x-axis represents the dates. The green line representing Slavutych/Chernobyl,Kyiv Oblast's connectivity remains stable most of the time period, with a sharp drop on October 1. The drop in connectivity aligns with a drone attack from Russia. The minimum and current connectivity levels are indicated as 31% and 31%, respectively. The chart has a dark background with a red circle highlighting the decline at the end of the period.

⚠️ Confirmed: Network data indicate a major power outage around Chernobyl and Slavutych, #Ukraine, amid reports that Russian shelling has cut power to the Chernobyl Nuclear Power Plant confinement structure, presenting a safety threat at the mothballed Soviet disaster site

Critical point 👇🏻. Measles will come roaring back in the coming months, with ever-larger outbreaks. Other vaccine-preventable disease will too. We are at the dawn of a massive public health crisis.

World leaders don’t realize what’s coming. Didn’t even mention it at #UNGA. We’re in so much trouble.

此刻所见

每个时代有每个时代的菩萨再来
每个时代有每个时代的阴魂不散

每个时代有每个时代的英雄和独唱者
每个时代有每个时代的乞丐和伪善者

每个时代有每个时代的宫殿、寺院和家
每个时代有每个时代的废墟、灰烬和泪

吹海螺的吹海螺，卖宝石的卖宝石
赶路的赶路，喝茶的喝茶，哭泣的哭泣

依从时序飞来的杜鹃鸟恰好栖息河边
当作礼物送来的大象刚刚翻过山口

曾经自由的心灵像野鹿般无法安住
很快，最后的肉体交给鹰鹫

啊，仅这浮光掠影，教我目眩神迷
那轮回，那轮回……

Incroyable. Il y a tellement de faux comptes et de bots sur X que des gros comptes payants qui font des tweets bien pro Républicains sont en fait... des bots. Suffit de leur demander des recettes de bouffe pour s'en rendre compte.

Vraiment X c'est naziland et botland.

Je suis assez vieux pour me rappeler que Candace Owens avait été invitée et ovationnée lors de la “Convention de la Droite” en 2019, portée par Marion Maréchal et ses proches, dont Erik Tegnér, aujourd’hui patron de Frontières Média.

Being wise selfish ~ 14th Dalai Lama
Being wise selfish means taking a broader view and recognizing that our own long-term individual interest lies in the welfare of everyone. Being wise selfish means being compassionate.

In Tibetan, the word for meditation is ‘gom.’ It means to remember. To remember virtue instead of harm. Remembering virtue counters our tendency to respond with a knee-jerk dysfunctional reaction, like anger, jealousy, pride or insecurity. This is core Dharma practice. Barry Kerzin

I just saw a patient with liver cancer from hepatitis B that was acquired at birth. Vaccination would’ve prevented it.

There’s been a 99% reduction in annual childhood hep B infections since 1991 thanks to universal birth dose vaccination. We can’t afford to roll back that progress.

"A storied trove of documents, photos, and lab tools from the race to decipher DNA’s structure and function is finally being made public."

Among them, the original Photo 51, an x-ray diffraction image of DNA made in 1952 by Rosalind Franklin.

Le plus fascinant n’est pas que Musk lave le cerveau de son IA pour qu’elle lave ensuite le nôtre. C’est qu’il le revendique en toute décontraction sans que cela suscite la moindre turbulence médiatique ni politique. Nous sommes une civilisation immunodéprimée assaillie de maladies opportunistes.

A federal program helps older people get jobs, but the Trump administration wants to get rid of it The Senior Community Service Employment Program helps older Americans balance their checkbooks, enjoy better health and engage more with their own communities.

The U.S. has more people over 62 than under 18, and they have a hard time finding work.

The Trump administration is moving to eliminate the only federal jobs program for low-income older adults, cutting off a key source of training and income for tens of thousands.

Trump now publicly calling all Nato members to put 50-100% tariffs on China

'I am ready to “go” when you are. Just say when? I believe that this, plus NATO, as a group, placing 50% to 100% TARIFFS ON CHINA, to be fully withdrawn after the WAR with Russia and Ukraine is ended'

Je pense qu'il y arrivera plus vite 😁

Pour Trump, tout est un avortement, car il ne comprend pas.
Même les préservatifs.

Il est presque impossible d'aggraver encore plus la situation.
J'ai envie de vomir mentalement.
