Thrilled to share that our new paper is out today! 🎉

We report the first description of same-sex sexual behaviour in Rwenzori Angolan colobus monkeys - and find it may play a role in male social bonding within their multilevel societies.

Perfect Valentine’s Day reading ❤️🐒

It's certainly not diplomacy and it's not coercion. It is war conducted by economic means, all designed to produce an economic crisis and social unrest leading to a fall of the government.

Every Nation Should Reject Trump’s Dangerous ‘Board Of Peace’ - PopularResistance.Org
The so-called “Board of Peace” being created by President Donald Trump is profoundly degrading to the pursuit of peace and to any nation that would lend it legitimacy. This is a trojan horse to dismantle the United Nations. It should be refused outright by every nation invited to join. In its Charter, the Board of Peace (BoP) claims to be an “international organization that seeks to promote stability, restore dependable and lawful governance, and secure enduring peace in areas affected or threatened by conflict.” If this sounds familiar, it should, because this is the mandate of the United Nations.

This young Israeli woman reveals with great honesty how she was brainwashed in school to hate Arabs.

Hadas Emma Kedar, while drawing from her insight as an eventual school teacher herself, illuminates how she came to reject such teachings and developed an anti-Zionist outlook

Palestine Talks:
How Israel’s education system brainwashes children - Part 1
| TRT WORLD (7/15/25)
youtu.be/SRbAKrLfXZw?...
Doctoral student and anti-Zionist activist Hadas Emma Kedar shares her experience being a student in the Israeli school system and the deeply troubling ways it “taught” students misleading versions of Israeli history, denied the existence of the Palestinian people and —notably through field trips to Auschwitz — used fear to mould and shape their Zionist identities. Kedar, while drawing from her insight as an eventual school teacher herself, illuminates how she came to reject such teachings and developed an anti-Zionist outlook, informed by the necessity of permanently ending Israel’s subjugation of and ongoing genocide against Palestinians.

Difficult as it is for westerners to hear, we don’t need a stronger West, we need a weaker one. Harder still, Trump is teaching us that the very concept of 'the West' is an illusion

This is a very important point, and well-written. I have noticed, for example, how even journalists I like will make fun of the weight of corrupt political figures they dislike, as if the weight of these people has anything to do with their corruption. open.substack.com/pub/thickmeu...
