Thank you so much @sewh.bsky.social for taking an injured fox cub in when no one else was open. It's great that people like you exist. The poor devil was in a bad way but we are keeping everything crossed...

"What you've got to understand is that men like him are the aristocracy in here. The armed robbers and contract killers. They're a breed apart."

You pour a puddle of petrol on the ground and throw a match on it. What onomatopoeic word do you use for the roaring sound it makes as it catches light?

As you read the House Ethics report about Gaetz, always keep in mind that Donald Trump believed that Gaetz was the most qualified person in America to be the chief law enforcement official in the United States.

Sometimes I think only @sarahkendzior.bsky.social understands the gravity of what is happening to America.

Ukraine is one of the few countries that has voluntarily given up a nuclear arsenal (in exchange for "security guarantees" that proved to be worthless). So you would think that CND would be massively pro-Ukrainian. Nope. They want us to stop sending conventional weapons and keep Ukraine out of NATO.
Join CND and @stwc.bsky.social for a webinar looking at the future of NATO and the war in Ukraine in the context of Donald Trump's presidency.

I have no idea if this individual is telling the truth but it's a fascinating interview.
Fascinating interview with HTS opposition leader of Syria, Ahmad Al-Sharaa aka Al-Jolani.

He discusses the military operations in the beginning and addresses the “what next” question of civil governance starting at around 3:50 in the timestamp.

OK folks, here's what we know so far from #Syria - a 🧵:

#Aleppo city has fallen, along with the entire western countryside & much of the south too -- including the international airport & Kuweiris Airbase.

A few #Russia airstrikes, but little else.

The gorgeous hardback edition of THE EXILE won't be around for much longer.

"Worrall wonderfully conjures the maelstrom of postwar France... a dramatic and thoroughly immersive account of loyalty, ideology and betrayal."
Guardian

"An espionage story of high literary calibre."

⚠️ Pontypridd has been hit by devastating floods and our wonderful independent bookshop, Storyville Books, has seen much of its stock destroyed.

If you’re able to buy a book from them, this would go such a long way to help support them rebuild in the aftermath.

Saw Richard Dawkins talk recently and he was asked to name the person he most feared having to debate with on the topic of religion. He said Rowan Williams was both the nicest and the most formidable.
The Rowan Williams review of the new Peterson book is wonderful for its incredibly understated panning of it:

Wer gerne Thriller liest, für den ist vielleicht „Endspiel: Jeder Zug kann tödlich sein“ von Patrick Worrall etwas. Der englische Student Michael trifft bei einem Schachturnier im Sommer 1961 die brillante Julija und ist sofort fasziniert von ihr. Was er nicht weiß: (22/27)

If I learned anything from X, it was to not feed the trolls. It's what they want, and it's what Elon wanted. We've all done it. But I've gotten really good at spotting them, as I presume many of y'all have as well. I'm just going to block them. The button actually works here.
