LMAOOOOO

A bunch of comedians tried to make up for their participation in the Riyadh comedy festival by donating their pay to Human Rights Watch and Human rights Watch was like “nah bitch we don’t want your dirty blood money” 😂😂 I’m dying

Human Rights Watch Doesn’t Want Any Riyadh Comedy Festival Money

Taking money from those who took money from Saudi Arabia would impact perception of the org’s independence.

AI pointlessly wastes countless gallons of water every day.

So it's pretty wild that George Miller spent half a century making movies about drought and climate change before becoming an AI enthusiast.

Seeing Ms. Rachel say exactly what needs to be said to Obama is so damn refreshing

Dear President Obama,
I saw in your statement you said "Israeli families" & "the people of Gaza."
Palestinians have families, too.
This kind of language contributes to dehumanization. Dehumanization is part of what caused so many to stay silent as 20,000 children were killed in this genocide.
I've sat with wonderful Palestinian families from Gaza. They look at their children just like we look at ours - with all the love & hope in the world.
Love,
Ms Rachel

In many ways, women and spiders have a great deal in common - independent, do a lot of work that isn't seen or valued, spend the autumn scuttling around in the shadows on our hairy legs looking for a mate before the winter sets in while people point at us and scream, etc.

Ivy Benson (1913–1993) was an English musician and bandleader, who led an all-women swing band.
Benson and her band gained prominence in the 1940s, headlining variety theatres and topping the bill at the London Palladium, and became the BBC's resident house band.

Ivy Benson and her first husband. Black and white photo, they are both standing outside, his arm is around her, she wears a fur coat. They smile.

Ivy Benson Blue Plaque. On top there's a shield with an owl wearing a crown, and around it reads Leeds Civic Trust. Below, it reads: Ivy Benson. Saxophonist, clarinettist and bandleader lived here 1919-1922. For over four decades from 1940 she led her famous 'all-girls' dance band, performing in prestige venues at home and abroad. Her appointment as the BBC's Resident Dance Band in 1943 confirmed her significant contribution to women's equality. 1913-1993.

the first extinction from mainland europe in *centuries*

it makes me so angry that politicians seem to value short-term economic issues more than the nature that makes our lives possible

Dr Alex Bond @thelabandfield.bsky.social · 1d

Well, it's official. After our paper last year (onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10....), the Slender-billed Curlew is officially declared Extinct today.

Scientists dream of describing new species, not writing their obituary and epitaph, knowing that they are gone forever #ornithology

The cow responds, her word bubble containing only the lump-with-handle cow tool.
