chopped veggies + 2 or 3 tablespoons of white miso + 2 tablespoons of fermented soybeans in chili oil in a container = easy packed lunch. Pour water from the kettle and you have a perfect soup

Needs trees

We make scooter riders take a picture of the scooter to prove it’s parked legally. Can you imagine if we did that to cars?

Oh my god.

Red Heat: Conspiracy, Murder and the Cold War in the Caribbean - Wikipedia

Read Alex's book: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Red_Hea...

If it's in the book, I haven't read that part yet

I am listening to Red Heat, by @alexvont.bsky.social, and I am shocked by how shitty people the male protagonists of political events in Latin America and the Caribbean were in the cold war. And the idea of how bad Che Guevara must have smelt is chasing me in nightmares

This is exactly my position. Licensed displays only. No bloody idiots setting them off in the street or back garden, sometimes in the small hours, terrifying animals and people, causing injuries or damage that are totally avoidable

You're brilliant, Hannah. It is refreshing to read the work of someone as knowledgeable, diligent and curious as you

Some good news - Latvia REMAINS a party to the Istanbul Convention. For now. Facing unprecedented civil society mobilisation, and after the president refused to sign the withdrawal law, the parliament voted to postpone the decision on the Istanbul Convention until after the October 2026 elections.

I opened an effervescent jar of kimchi and now my whole flat stinks

The European Convention on Human Rights

Happy Birthday to the European Convention on Human Rights, which has helped to protect #OurRightsAndFreedoms for 75 years.

Here are more than 200 examples, from across the continent👇

I wish they had sung a song, any song, from Somewhere Under Wonderland, my favourite album of theirs. Oh well.

The Counting Crows concert was beautiful and so much fun. I aspire to like my job and colleagues as much as they do.

It looks like it's made of plastic. Like one of those clown trash cans

What's wrong with Latvian politicians? Why do they want to withdraw from a treaty that protects women from violence?😢

"Go to a literary reading: 99 percent of the audience will be young women...Stadiums for baseball games, movie theaters, hip-hop concerts: again, women fill the seats. So where are the men of Korea?...they are sitting in front of monitors, working, playing, smashing things"

i'm sure the "faculty forum" on "reducing burnout" and "enhancing resilience" will include helpful things like "join your faculty union" and "here's a bucket of money" and "we hired a bunch of new full time faculty to reduce the teaching load across the university"

Maybe I need more Asterix and Obelix books

Clickbait Will Kill Us All This week: a brief rant about news values; some stuff that probably shouldn’t be taught in schools; and a journey planner for your trip to early modern Europe.

"For reasons that have nothing to do with informing, educating and entertaining, but are likely instead about some team’s target stats, the BBC decided to actively tell millions of people they should be frightened by asylum seekers. Brilliant work."

Newsletter's out.

Why would we need to know what goes on in the cosy chats between corporate lobbyists + people making decisions that affect all of our safety?

*they are*

It's like they doing a paint by numbers of what the reactionary right has done in the US with their streamlined routes from uni to right-wing Justices. Very scary

So the missing part of the puzzle is phasing out the extraction of fossil fuels

European human rights court sets climate limits for the oil industry - Greenpeace International Today, The European Court of Human Rights (ECtHR) has ruled that Norway must assess the global climate impacts of oil and gas before opening new oil fields on the Norwegian continental shelf in order ...

European human rights court sets climate limits for the oil industry

“This is a major step forward. It’s a relief to see the Court recognise what science has told us for years — that new oil and gas fields threaten our most basic human rights.”

Chatbots — LLMs — do not know facts and are not designed to be able to accurately answer factual questions. They are designed to find and mimic patterns of words, probabilistically. When they’re “right” it’s because correct things are often written down, so those patterns are frequent. That’s all.

Hay gente a la que le gusta vivir al límite y exponerse al peligro, pero ninguno se compara al man con camiseta de Gerard Piqué que vi ayer en el concierto de Shakira.

I want to use clown emojis in a lawsuit I am working on
