The Cáin Adomnáin is sometimes called, anachronistically, the first Geneva Convention because it punishes those who kill non-combatants in war, over and above the normal honour price.

A group of ten local residents climbed 800 meters above the city and lit 450 torches to form the message: "No Kings." This is how Davos welcomed Trump.
Time to continue the tradition. Share your recs!
It's another extremely spicy night at TPUSA's AmFest, where Rob Schneider has just roundly lambasted Trump for bombing small boats from Venezuela and called Candace Owens retarded and the greatest gifted the world has ever known
Photographer Martin Parr just passed. If you don't know his work, the Guardian has a really nice introduction here.

Yes, this is correct. And the reason is because our capitalist classes have decided that it is not sufficiently profitable, so they're not going to do it.
We must understand this reality. Capital *cannot* be relied upon to address the climate crisis.
Can we get this in Halifax please #BikeHfx

Lord, I have seen what you have done for the people in that pub at the Dublin airport during the Hungary / Ireland match and I want that for us.
1/ The US Government has quietly removed a memorial to Black soldiers who died in World War II from the Netherlands American Cemetery in Margraten, South Limburg. The move follows a complaint from the right-wing Heritage Foundation to the American Battle Monuments Commission. ⬇️
Last night I went to the Puca Festival in Trim, Ireland.
It's all fun and games until someone unleashes a giant demonic hare.
Reject modernity, embrace tradition
My most popular cartoon by a long chalk is also oddly niche, in that it mostly appeals to a generation who remember the song it refers to and enjoy the nostalgia for their youth. I can draw one for you if you like.

There’s good advice in the free pdf Tree Grower’s Guide. Critical thing to know is that their are perishable - like fruit. Within days of collecting they need to go into a moist (not wet) medium (coir, sand, etc) to overwinter outdoors or in baggies in fridge or be sown in pots or trays outdoors.
1/ A longtime Wired editor just wrote a mush-brained essay about how he totally missed the political rot of Silicon Valley (& still doesn't get it).
But in the late 1990s, a Wired journalist warned of a toxic ideology bubbling up from tech. Paulina Borsook has largely been erased. Let's change that
The Kirk memorial service is set up as a religious revival (his killing has been framed that way by Cardinal Dolan & others). The singer says: "We want the Kirk family to be healed, and we want our land to return to Jesus." Christian nationalism had become part of Kirk's brand - it's on full display
A disturbingly memorable film. Still stays in mind from my last viewing more than a decade ago.
A major ______ what?
AI slop steals from human artists and writers to enrich the billionaires that fund fascism. You will not defeat fascism by posting pictures made on the fascist billionaires' energy and water guzzling plagiarism extruder.
One like, one #anthropology opinion.
1. our relationship with #sociology is modelled after Schopenhauer‘s porcupine dilemma. We’re so close, it hurts, so we overemphasise our differences.

The inferno of the living is not something that will be; if there is one, it is what is already here, the inferno where we live every day, that we form by being together. There are two ways to escape suffering it.

In case you're wondering, authoritarians use this strategy of escalation to manufacture crisis, provoke outrage, then use the reaction to justify repression. It’s not about restoring order, it's about creating a spectacle of chaos they can claim only they can control.
"Society is just doing what any man in a relationship does when confronted with his own failure and his own fuck ups. He turns away and doesn't want to be reminded of it. And not being able to prevent the climate catastrophe is humanity's biggest fuck up of all time!"
