I wrote a book about bureaucratic violence and if there’s one thing I wish everyone knew right now, it would be:

The people most harmed can’t tell what’s happening or why. Their lives unravel and, more often than not, they are taught to blame themselves—or other victims.

Today is World Water Day. Yesterday was International Day of Forests. Forests and water are intimately related. Trees require abundant water. Rivers that provide our water require forests. Today, let's thank our forests and our rivers. Tomorrow and every day, let's work to preserve them.

There's stupidity and then there's Donald J Trump..

"say what you like about nigel farage, but he has a habit of grabbing people's attention!!" squeal reporters. no; he has a habit of grabbing YOUR attention because you are lazy and stupid and bad at your jobs

Macron: “We will need 10 years to free ourselves from American influence through massive local and European investment.”

Screenshot from a scan of page 289 of an 1863 English translation of Don Quixote. The text is set in two columns. In the left column, we read in part “thou hast hit the point, Sancho, which can alone shake my resolution”, and on the right “thy share of the booty would would have been at least the emperor’s crown of gold”; by coincidence, these align so that the phrase “shake my booty” can be read across the columns.

Books designed to be read only by human eyes are different from books designed to be read by machines, which is why Google will tell you that the phrase “shake my booty” can be found in an 1863 English translation of Don Quixote.

Absolutely incredible
