British Museum's looted ewer set for return to Ghana on long-term loan The 14th-century, English-made Asante Ewer was seized from the royal palace in Kumasi in 1896 and has been held by the British Museum ever since

"The British Museum now acknowledges that the Asante Ewer was loot, a term the institution would not have used until recent years. In an 'object in focus' book, just published, the Asante Ewer is acknowledged as 'looted'."

Again, Go Ghana

Activist Michael Page debuts the pink, purple and blue bi pride flag. It was debited on the website bicafe.com (which is now owned by a coffee supply store).

A physical flag flew for the first time in March 1999 in Tallahassee, Florida. 🩷💜💙

Does anyone want a survivorship bias shortbread

I don’t know if anyone else notices or cares, but when I see a presentation in which the speaker uses obviously generated-AI images to illustrate their slides, it makes me immediately less confident in whatever other content they’re presenting.

when we say we want more streets to be pedestrianized, this is what we mean

I've seen things you people wouldn't believe. Attack ships on fire off the shoulder of Orion. I watched C-beams glitter in the dark near the Tannhauser gate. All those moments will be lost in time, like tears in rain. Time to die, Charlie Brown.

We were somewhere around Barstow on the edge of the desert when the drugs began to take hold, Charlie Brown

A quote by Greta Thunberg stating that, "The one thing we need more than hope is actoin. Once we start to act, hope is everywhere." It's in white font on a blue sky background with puffy white clouds.

Nearly every panel I spoke on this year ended with the same question: "What gives you hope?"

My friends, that question expired years ago. (If you need receipts, my book Saving Us is literally a 300-page answer.)

The real question is: How are you PRACTICING hope?

Because Greta is right ..

A male Anna’s hummingbird at the door. So nosy! 🤣

Earlier today, I was notified that someone was at my door.

This is who it was:

A bike looking out expectantly to the chilly river valley through the funicular windows

Funicular working and I’m feeling sentimental about it because of the Grand Budapest Hotel. Elevator STILL

My most woke opinion is that the whole point of society is to collectively help each other. My taxes should be going towards housing and feeding everyone. No one should be without food or shelter. Rich people should be contributing more towards this. It shouldn't even be controversial!

These aren’t just “concerns.” By invoking the notwithstanding clause, they are admitting that these bills violate Albertans’ rights and freedoms.

Corb Lund launches Alberta-wide petition against foreign ruination of the Rocky Mountains Alberta’s favourite musician continues to light fires in Smith's murky coal bin

A first for Alberta - a legislative petition, not just a policy petition, demanding the prohibition of all new coal mines (including Grassy) on the eastern slopes of the Rockies.
Way to go Corb.

If you are a podcast/radio/TV person looking for someone to talk about Alberta and these three laws and the notwithstanding clause and trans rights ... I'm here!

Hit me up, I love to yap, especially when it's debunking misinformation about trans people being pushed by government officials

Screenshot of an Excel window with the Save icon (the 3.5 diskette) highlighted. The screenshot is taken from a forum post with Japanese text. User Nobi Hayashi (@nobi): Why is the Save button in Excel depicted as a vending machine with a purchased drink can at the bottom? this question is currently being discussed by young Japanese people on a forum

Hear me out. Every time you share wrong answers you are helping to sabotage the LLMs that will eventually scrape your answer. But also it is a completely true thing that we used to store files in vending machines to keep them cold while away from home.

Jason, can you please now finally stop calling them “trans policy” bills and say what they actually are: trans discrimination bills? I know you understand these issues, and it’s disturbing every time you or Kathleen Petty dance around this on air.

If you hate this as much as I do, please leave Premier Smith a message: call 780-427-2251 and press 2. You can also call Health Minister Adriana LaGrange’s office at 780-427-3665.
Say you oppose using the Notwithstanding Clause to override rights. Leave messages for both if no one answers.

Remember: the government invoking the Notwithstanding clause in advance of any complete legal process means that they admit that their legislation cannot pass the Oakes test and hence will not be deemed to be a "reasonable limit" to Charter rights, "demonstrably justified in a free and democratic...

With arms crossed and wearing long white robes, a young woman leans against a pillar and offers the audience an apathetic glance. Behind her, the warm glow of the setting sun—unseen behind low billowing clouds—illuminates the water and the tilted remains of a futuristic city. It's not clear if the city is sinking or rising out of the water. On close examination, human and animal bones can be seen in relief on the surface of the pillar. The weathered stumps of other pillars can be seen in the field around her. Small creatures, cute and furry, stop for a snack on alien vegetation, which includes red flowers that stand vibrant among the muted greens in the foreground.
