The house tilts forward as we reveal it is actually a head sitting atop the shoulders of a red humanoid giant P3: IT KEEPS HAPPENING. the house moves beyond the top of the panel, as the rest of the giant rises from the earth, dirt trailing behind. P4: a wide shot to reveal the giant in their full glory, as they stare silently at a tiny human who waves back at them P5: THE GIANT EVANGELIONS THE SHIT OUT OF THE HUMAN P6: The human explodes, as the giant just stands there.

The world will try to convince you that art is a luxury. It is not. Art is medicine. It heals in ways that cannot be measured or explained. It reaches places therapy cannot touch. What you do is not optional. It is essential.

Perhaps the bbc will report on the green surge with the same enthusiasm with which they promoted farage?

Israel Agrees To Go Back To Killing Palestinians On Less Frequent Basis CAIRO—As part of a historic ceasefire agreement with Hamas following two years of war, the Israeli government reportedly agreed Thursday to go back to killing Palestinians on a less frequent basis. “I...

Israel Agrees To Go Back To Killing Palestinians On Less Frequent Basis

The reason the Right are so invested in the myth that the arts have no value isn’t because the arts don’t generate wealth (they do); it’s that studying the arts teaches people to imagine better ways of judging the value of an idea than by counting how much money it makes…

Post from Threads user rodneyowl: "Ireland has declared the Basic Income for Artists scheme permanent. This will be officially announced in tomorrow’s budget. Details to follow. Congratulations to all who fought for it and the present and future artists of all sorts in Ireland. That includes me 👌We’re just comin to the end of a 3 year pilot scheme. It’s been a roaring success. For every €1 paid out to the 2000 participants, the government got €1.46 back. Can’t argue with that. Other countries are already taking note."

Damn. This is amazing. £325 per week, paid monthly, for 3 years - and the result was a profit for the Irish economy:

Dr. Jane Goodall filmed an interview with Netflix in March 2025 that she understood would only be released after her death.

The physical world, long eclipsed by our luminous devices, still murmurs the language of the real. A language I fear we are slowly unlearning.

She was arrested for holding a sign reading:

“I do not support the proscription of Palestine Action”

How that would warrant arrest is very unclear. I wonder if the police here even understand the boundaries of the bizarre law they’ve been forced to enforce.

[Scene is ANCIENT GREECE - where SOCRATES and PLATO and others are sitting round, thinking] 1 SOCRATES: Plato.. PLATO: Yes Socrates? 2 SOCRATES: Can you tell me, are you human? PLATO: Why… yes, Socrates 3 SOCRATES: And would you agree, Plato, that a human knows what a chariot is? PLATO: Um, yep 4 SOCRATES: So you can tell me, then 5 [Socrates produces a papyrus, showing a drawing of the corner of a chariot wheel] SOCRATES: *Is that a chariot*? 6 PLATO: Well that’s more just a bit of wheel 7 SOCRATES: So not a *chariot*. PLATO: No. 8 SOCRATES: [Producing another papyrus with the full drawing of the chariot, chopped into boxes] So if a man were challenged to “tap the boxes containing chariots to prove you’re human” when he was just trying to check his ClubCard points... *where could he tap*? 9 PLATO: Well you can’t tap any of them really 10 SOCRATES: So are we not human?

Really is one of the best docs on the far right protests I’ve seen on YouTube. It’s completely insane www.youtube.com/watch?v=ez1c...

Black and white photo looking down a street of terraced brick houses. Several cars line each side of the street, with many people gathered at the far end. Beyond this the bow of a large oil tanker can be seen, towering above the end of the street and the rows of houses.

Every time I come across this photo it completely stops me in my tracks. Crude oil supertanker Esso Hibernia under construction at Swan Hunter shipyard, Wallsend, during 1970. The scale and spectacle of this thing is incomprehensible. (📸 Harriet Berney)

Is Britain far right? Do most people in Britain really sympathise with far-right views? As Reform UK rises in the polls, we asked the experts.

The issue is not whether 'Britain is far right' but why far-right politics have become so normalised

Rather than accepting this is a bottom-up, people-driven push, I argue that we must look at those who have the power to shape the agenda and public discourse
