Hey look, Israel broke the cease-fire, twice, in two different ways, within 24 hours - again.

On Sunday, I visited DEAR NEW YORK, Brandon Stanton's "love letter" to the city he's been documenting for years as "Humans of New York" for their family reception with student artists.

It's a gorgeous exhibit that's transformed Grand Central Station. See it before 10/19!

BTW let's appreciate the sheer bathetic comedy of Trump's threats sliding from WE'RE GOING TO BAN ALL CRITICAL SOFTWARE WE WILL BRING YOUR ECONOMY TO A HALT down to WE'LL MAKE OUR OWN COOKING OIL SEE IF WE DON'T.

literally the only charitable reading of that email was "yes, i, like an ATM, fear being jumped by masked people intent on stealing my rights, but unlike an ATM i don't have 24/7 CCTV to prove who did it" and anything else is "whoever runs comms needs to be fired"

Sums it all up

I am being asked to tell my department which pieces of lab equipment should be supported with backup power because they expect rolling blackouts and brownouts in 2026 due to increased energy demands from AI. In case you're wondering how my day is going.

Apparently, they don’t hand out a Nobel Peace Prize to those who negotiated a ceasefire they had sabotaged a year ago just to get elected.

this is not quite an anti-trust tragedy but it's certainly some kind of capital market regulation problem if people can buy assets that provide huge public goods specifically in order to destroy the public good provision

The trailblazing transgender rights activist Miss Major has passed away at the age of 78.

Miss Major was a lifelong organizer and participant in the ballroom scene. She took part in the 1969 Stonewall Riots and was injured by the police — but she kept fighting.

He is 13. A 7th grader w/ a pending asylum case. Being held more than 500 miles from home & housed w/ adults. He called his mom crying, & reported that he’s sleeping on concrete w/ an aluminum blanket.

How is this anything other than sick & shameful? www.bostonglobe.com/2025/10/12/m...

Watch this before going to a protest.

Nate just bloody tweets it out how dare you

May all our prisoners be free, from river to sea, from sea to sea. May every border and checkpoint and wall and barricade fall.

The fact that Israel can kidnap 1000s of Palestinians and hold them in what we know to be torturous prisons without bringing any actual charges against them but media only uses the word "hostages" for captured Israelis is racism so obvious it's maddening to see it go uninterrogated.

No no. No, we won't be doing that. We won't be brushing the last two years under the carpet just because there is a current ceasefire. This is appalling, Israel should not be allowed to participate until Palestine is free and Netanyahu is behind bars for war crimes, where he belongs.

‘My heart is broken’: Palestinians begin searching the Gaza rubble for their dead. Using manual tools and their bare hands, people start the immense task of trying to find their loved ones’ remains.

yearly reminder to people insisting that we view Christopher Columbus as "a man of his time" that *the people responsible for the Spanish Inquisition* thought Columbus was out of pocket

These are mostly indigenous communities in Alaska that have been slammed by the storm.

The local manager of a small airline fleet says he is the only one doing evacuations right now!

Defund FEMA and people are abandoned. Defund public media and no-one knows.

FYI, today is Indigenous Peoples Day.

Today is Indigenous Peoples Day – a time to honor the 11 sovereign Tribal Nations and robust urban Native communities that continue to enrich our state’s cultural landscape, economy, and heritage.
 
It was a beautiful morning to celebrate on the shore of Bde Maka Ska.

A first look at tomorrow's front page of The National 📰

How genocide happened

the actual story here, which the media never talks about, is that police in this country have become a discrete right-wing political operation. the story isn't about cops leaving (they're lying about that), it's about the police trying to exert influence over elections.
