I am very happy with this episode about a total lunatic who just might be right

Again, got to be one of the best dig episodes I’ve ever listened to and the bar is *sky* high

Bild på Björn Söderberg, som mördades av nazister 12/10 1999.

Antifascism är självförsvar. Minns Björn Söderberg.

There is no single way to resist; only the courage to invent one. 👍

Can I also say I am so angry today. It's the lives lost, the cities wiped out, the time taken from us. We have been consumed with this level of unspeakable violence for 2 years. To think of all the potential futures taken away... it's unfathomable

This episode is soooooo good

She called out world leaders for sitting by and watching a live-streamed genocide without taking action.

NEW: Extraordinary scenes in Amsterdam this afternoon (Sunday, Oct 5).

An estimated 250,000 bring the city to a standstill; people all wearing red to show solidarity with Palestine 🇵🇸

(🎥 Ahmed Zantac)

Hard to undersell how huge this palestine demo in amsterdam was today.

there were over a quarter million of us in the streets of Amsterdam today. Free Palestine, solidarity forever

The final scene from Twin Peaks, Series 2, except instead of Evil Cooper it's Sir Keir Starmer, grinning & smashing his bleeding head against his image in the mirror, which instead of BOB is Tony Blair. There never was a Good Starmer and he's not in the Black Lodge, however.

For no particular reason, here's the Best UK Politics Meme Ever

Wohoo!!!

Meeee

"There aren’t separate words for famine and starvation in Irish: an gorta covers both. To the English-speakers shaping colonial policy, it was important to have one word implying intent and another evading it."

The OBA library in Amsterdam has two DVD box sets spanning Theo Angelopoulos’ entire filmography..just saying!!

Ahh congratulations Suzana!! 🤩

I genuinely have a hard time imagining what my life would be like - the kind of writer, editor, and thinker I would be today - without n+1. Please do whatever can afford to do to keep this magazine alive.

Congrats Elara!!

really feel like writing something on how steep tariffs may destroy restaurants that depend on imported ingredients to replicate non-American flavors—and thus spark a movement toward more conservative, blander food scenes throughout the US

Just bought my 2026 ticket hehehehehehehe

let this sink in:

EU energy imports from US in 2024 amounted to EUR 60bn, from a total of EUR 376bn

Trump wants that number to go up FIVE TIMES.
If EU did that, it would have to import all energy from US.

Dear Dr. Abdelhadi, The Keough School of Global Affairs, which houses the Kroc Institute for International Peace Studies, recently learned of your keynote speech at their student conference next weekend. The University of Notre Dame requires that all events or lectures related to Israel/Palestine have ND Police security and planning. We were unaware of your planned lecture, and since this conference overlaps with two other annual events on campus, we cannot provide security at short notice. For this reason, we respectfully request that you do not participate in the conference. The Kroc Institute will honor any honorarium that was awarded for this event. We apologize for any inconvenience. Sincerely, Mary Gallagher -- Mary E. Gallagher Marilyn Keough Dean Keough School of Global Affairs University of Notre Dame

I was scheduled to give a talk on Palestine at a student conference at @notredame.bsky.social. The University rescinded my talk a week in advance citing an extremely flimsy excuse. It is truly disgusting. Attached is the letter I received and my reply, link below...

Don’t remember where I saw this library flyer a while back but it’s great

Just figured out where these fake tariff rates come from. They didn't actually calculate tariff rates + non-tariff barriers, as they say they did. Instead, for every country, they just took our trade deficit with that country and divided it by the country's exports to us. So we have a $17.9 billion trade deficit with Indonesia. Its exports to us are $28 billion. $17.9/$28 = 64%, which Trump claims is the tariff rate Indonesia charges us. What extraordinary nonsense this is.

james surowiecki has discovered where the completely fabricated trump tariff rate has come from for each country

"...for every country, they just took our trade deficit with that country and divided it by the country's exports to us."
