Kozhikode’s mandate is clear: fraternity is a habit cultivated in the mundane architecture of everyday life. It is the politics of the shared street, the common meal, the neighboring house of worship and the collective story.

How do you think it goes when all the people who control the money get to see in person how the world’s largest economy is held hostage by a crazy senile old man working out a lifetime of grudges and hurt feelings?
Your president stood up in front of world leaders, financiers, ceos, bazillionaires, international orgs, and of course the assembled world press, and pissed in their punch.
Please for the love of God atleast do some research before you create dumbo characters.
Want to punch all the characters in this now.excruciatingly bad script.
Why is the second episode of Pluribus so shitty and racist? It is so laughable to see this in a time where Drumf is the president.
@torontosun.bsky.social you have a journalist spreading hate based on lies aka justifying murder. Is that who you are?
No book is going to turn kids into someone else. But books will regularly show kids other people like them and show those kids they're not alone. And they'll show kids other types of people who also exist. There is a large proportion of the population who are terrified of this.
Let me help you with something that may or may not make you less frustrated.
They are not powerless. They are complicit.
Only a few hours after ICE agent Jonathan Ross shot and killed Minneapolis resident and mother Renee Good on January 7, federal immigration enforcement agents descended onto Roosevelt High School property during school dismissal as students were exiting the building. MFE members say that ICE agents tackled and detained a school staff member and union member who was working at the time. The MFE member was since released, according to a union spokesperson. The agents also deployed a chemical irritant against students and staff on school grounds, MFE says. A school official, speaking to MPR News on condition of anonymity, said many students sheltered in a nearby library.
Kind of wild there has been almost no coverage of the fact that the federal government unleashed chemical weapons against literal kids *at school*.

The Roses was such a delicious movie.I wish there was more from this couple.
Wish the supporting actors were better though.

As I spent more and more of my life under the care of doctors, nurses, and researchers striving to improve the lives of others, I watched as Bobby cut nearly a half billion dollars for research into mRNA vaccines, technology that could be used against certain cancers; slashed billions in funding from the National Institutes of Health, the world's largest sponsor of medical research; and threatened to oust the panel of medical experts charged with recommending preventive cancer screenings. Hundreds of N.I.H. grants and clinical trials were cancelled, affecting thousands of patients. I worried about funding for leukemia and bone-marrow research at Memorial Sloan Kettering. I worried about the trials that were my only shot at remission. Early in my illness, when I

More than one million New Yorkers cast ballots for Zohran Mamdani — part of the highest turnout in a mayoral election in more than 60 years. Here are the demographic trends that contributed to his win.
But mostly this is awful, awful, clickbait slop passing as science writing.
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.
If you're just waking, it's been a good night for Democrats across the US, with voters rejecting Trump nationwide. 🎉
Mamdani's comfortable win in New York, on the highest turnout since 1969, provides further proof that you don't have to pander to the right to win.

“The symbolism of the moment is hard to beat. At a time when Trump is not just demonising immigrants, but harassing them and sending masked goons to kidnap them from the street, America’s greatest city – and Trump’s hometown – has elected a Muslim immigrant to run it.”
"Give your dogs the primal ancestral diet they deserve!" Sir. Ma'am. My guy. Gentlefolk. Theydies. My dog would die in the wild within half a day and that's being generous.
Timber tower clad with reused metal roofing
Let's start the metal roofing second life as facade thread 🧵 Because I love this and it's so obviously cradle to cradle-cool.

Long shot (mainly due to how little engagement I get on here), but I'm looking for freelance writers with an interest, or specialism in, classical music.
If you are one, or know one, please give me a shout.
Yeah, OK it's an 80m tall timber TRÆ,
but look at the facade,
it's #circular reused metal roofing.

Deeply unsettling to see the world rush headlong into yet another self-inflicted crisis—intensifying the climate emergency thru a massive energy surge, inflating an economic bubble, worsening mental health struggles, and spawning new, as-yet-unknown risks. Reminded of Goethe’s Sorcerer’s Apprentice.
The most popular candidate is a socialist in a time where fascism is sweeping the nation. He represents politics and policies that have felt completely impossible. And his wild popularity has inspired the country and created hope where none existed. That’s why.
The last time I was there, they were just about to break ground on this. I'm really excited to see pictures of this new museum. The dude at the old museum was awesome and definitely slaked my thirst for ancient Egyptian lore.
they should invent a dishwasher that is in my apartment
I met my spouse 14 years ago on it (twitter / when it was only 40% terrible)
