This Israeli government decision to host Tommy Robinson will widen the growing gulf between the Netanyahu government and the British public, including the broad majority of Jews in Britain (3/4 of whom dsapproved of Netanyahu, before this new link to this anti-Muslim racist UK far right convict).

On 12 August 30 BC, Cleopatra VII Thea Philopator, rather than submit to Rome, in the person of Octavian, ended her life through the bite of an Egyptian cobra. This act, immortalised in the later writings of Plutarch and Shakespeare, continues to resonate in popular culture. #Egyptology #Reception

President Trump's action plan will give AI companies a blank check, with no safeguards to protect our rights.

If the federal government won't act, states and cities must have the freedom to create regulations that protect us from Big Tech.
Trump's AI Action Plan revives regulation showdown between states, feds
President Trump's AI Action Plan sounds a lot like the AI moratorium that was rejected by the Senate. Here's what is says.

At 17, Nedzad Avdic stood on a gravel plateau, hands tied, facing death. He was among the thousands of Bosnian Muslim men targeted in the 1995 Srebrenica massacre.

Now, as denial of war crimes spreads online, Avdic is committed to speaking out.

Writing a keynote paper for @vpfa.bsky.social's annual conference about encounters with prehistoric animals in nineteenth-century fiction, and as I write Colossal Biosciences can't stop announcing that they're resurrecting extinct creatures. I prefer Jules Verne.
Illustration by Édouard Riou for Jules Verne's Journey to the Centre of the Earth. An engraving depicting a host of prehistoric animals, including Megatherium, moa, and Pleiosaurus, called 'Axel's Dream'.

The august facades and impeccable decorum of our great institutions arise from fortunes built on slavery and murder. As WH Auden noted of Oxford: "Knowledge is conceived in the hot womb of Violence".
This ritual cannibalism is perfectly symbolic of the whole.

xAI has disabled Grok, deleted a slew of its antisemitic and neo-Nazi posts, posted a statement, and are evidently rolling back the prompt that made it identify as "MechaHitler," but this new low for Elon Musk's chatbot will live in internet infamy:
Elon Musk's Grok Chatbot Goes Full Nazi, Calls Itself 'MechaHitler'
Elon Musk's Grok chatbot has unleashed a slew of antisemitic commentary and praised Hitler after apparent change allowed to be 'politically incorrect'

Chanang Amparak argues that birdwatching requires multi-sensory epistemologies, in the case of Calidris Pygmeae. Knowledeges about birds are contested among formal ornithologists with visual technology and workers on the salt field. #animalstudies #socioecology

#OnThisDay, 28 June 1491, a baby boy was born to Elizabeth of York and Henry VII of England, a brother to their eldest son and heir Arthur.

They called him Henry - we do think he had something to do with a ship, quite a famous one too...

The traditional Holbein image of Henry VIII, broad shoulders, bearded and hearing red robes and a feathered hat. A terracotta statue of Henry VIII as a child, with the creepiest grin you ever saw. Henry VIII when he became king - he has long reddish hair, no bears and a thin face. The weight came later.

under glowlamps, impaled, with faintly beating feelers: and in my mind's darkness a sloth of the underworld, reluctant, shy of brightness, shifting her dragon scaly folds.
Nineteenth-century illustration from La Gileppe, the misfortunes of an insect population. The image depicts a caterpillar, locusts, and ants in human clothes. Gustave Dore's The Destruction of Leviathan shows images of writhing, serpentine Leviathan in the tumultuous sea being exposed by the divine light of God.

James Joyce's Ulysses and the nonhuman: Nestor (A thread)

[I'm a beginner for Joyce's writing, and I want to make a thread of quotes from Ulysses and pictures I think quite related to the quotes, sometimes not so directly.)
