There's understanding insurance, and then there's understanding Lloyd's. The U.S. has no say in how shippers evaluate risk. But Lloyd's sure does.

EU threatens to pull Venice Biennale funding over Russia's return The European Commission has threatened to withdraw funding from the Venice Biennale art exhibition if organisers proceed with plans to ​allow Russia to reopen its pavilion at this year's edition.

Can’t stop laughing. Turned out there is something EU can do . And something for Venice Biennale to lose

Look at that.

This is very, very good. I haven't been able to articulate my thoughts as well as this. The part about "how do I learn if a bot writes code for me" really hits home.

Now more than ever I’m convinced losing Anthony Bourdain meant we lost probably the biggest person on tv who advocated for the wonders of meeting new people and calling anyone online who hated learning new cultures the children they were, ruthlessly to the camera.

Time to discuss the realities of, "So You Want to Launch a Ground Invasion of Iran."

1. First, of course, you need ground connected to Iran. That means Iraq, Turkey, Armenia, Azerbaijan, Turkmenistan, Afghanistan or Pakistan.

THREAD: I got laid off from NYMag/Vulture after 14 years. The family lost 75% of income + medical. Now mzs.press bookstore, once a side project. is do-or-die for Judith & I. I feel weird telling you this because others are doing much worse. But if you could like or share this, we'd be so grateful!

This district is home to more artists than almost anywhere in the country but rising costs are pushing them out.

I'm running to build an economy where time and space for creativity isn't a luxury reserved only for a lucky few.

A screenshot from Google News showing CNN, NBC News, and Delawareonline.com all used the phrase "dignified transfer" relating to Trump and dead military members' bodies returning from the Middle East.

I see everyone got the memo: "dignified transfer".

All I'm saying is Google had a vested interest in wrecking its magic search (people may have forgotten how insanely good it was, it was wizard level shit) because of how underwater they were on their AI investment and get you on to Gemini

Screenshot of book cover. Screenshot of review:


This generative and confronting collection invites us to re-think, re-position, and re-imagine the imbrication of queerness and Scottishness, alongside other social differences. Taylor has curated an impressive array of creatives, scholars, and activists who explore the tensions, possibilities, pleasures, risks, and glitches that emerge for queer and trans people navigating their senses of belonging to the 'wee nation' of Scotland.

Senthorun Raj, Manchester Metropolitan University, UK

It’s an honour to be asked to review fab manuscripts about queer things ahead of their publication. One of the books I’ve had the pleasure of endorsing is Yvette Taylor’s edited collection, “Queer in a Wee Place: Small Nations, Sexuality and Scotland.”

An elderly Leonard Bernstein once stopped by the Philharmonie in Berlin to visit Herbert von Karajan. They sat down and talked for about an hour. Later, a Karajan assistant was asked what they'd discussed. He responded: "Their aches and pains; what else do old men discuss?"
