🔴 NEW: Israel has authorized the use of electronic tracking devices on Palestinians in the occupied West Bank, allowing real-time surveillance of civilians placed under administrative movement restrictions, a new IDF directive states. It applies to civilians who have not been charged, tried, or convicted of any crime, and embeds electronic tagging into Israel’s system of military rule. The measure allows authorities to force individuals to wear or carry monitoring devices and criminalizes tampering. Israel’s defense minister Israel Katz has explicitly excluded Jewish settlers in the West Bank from the order. It was issued with coordination between the Israel Defense Forces, Israel Security Agency, Israel Police, the Ministry of Justice, and the military’s legal authorities for the West Bank. The move aligns with what journalist and filmmaker Antony Loewenstein describes as Israel’s “Palestine Laboratory.” In his work, Loewenstein argues that Israel exports not only weapons, but a model for controlling “difficult populations”—a comprehensive system combining military force, mass surveillance technology, and spatial control. This includes biometric checkpoints, AI-monitored CCTV networks, facial-recognition systems such as Red Wolf and Blue Wolf, and invasive spyware like Pegasus. These tools are deployed against Palestinian civilians, journalists, and non-violent human rights activists, many of whom are subjected to administrative detention or heightened movement and surveillance restrictions. The same repressive technologies are later marketed abroad as “battle-tested” solutions. Video: @antloewenstein | @AJEnglish (full doc below)

Petit guide de sécurité : 👉 Dégonflez un peu vos pneus. 👉 Baissez la hauteur de votre selle. 👉 Modérez votre vitesse. 👉 Freinez doucement ! Et freiner plutôt avec le frein arrière. 👉 Et si vous n'êtes pas à l'aise, laissez votre vélo pour aujourd'hui 😁

Just started learning lino cutting, last night I made our first ex libris
Illustration of three dogs sleeping entangled, surrounded by a frame and the words "ex libris de" and the letters "L&Z" mirrored, carved on a 7.5 x 7.5cm piece of linoleum that was dyed pink. The carving tool sits on its left. Same illustration as the previous photo, now printed and mirrored on a blank space of a book. In the background you can see one of the sleeping dogs that was depicted in the illustration.

most art dramas wouldn't take such proportions if artists would just accept that people have the rights to find their art weird and most importantly the right to say so. Yes, even when fascists threaten some art forms. It really doesn't help to frame every minor critique as a censor attempt.

One guy tried, unsuccessfully, to blow up a plane with a bomb in his sneakers, and everybody had to take off their shoes at the airport for the next 20 years.

Chatbots have a collective body count equal to Richard "The Night Stalker" Ramirez, and they're trying to put them in schools.

Huge pixel art illustration of an overgrown, clunky mech in a forest, illuminated by bright and colourfull light rays that comes from the sky. A crow is standing on the boxy head of the mech, which is also bursting with a white flower bush. An old korrigan (Britton elf?), who is roughly the size of the crow, is chilling on the shoulder of the mech. in the cockpit, three little korrigans are playing. On the ground, from right to left : 2 little korrigans are drawing children drawing on the mech, standing on the root of the tree the robot is resting on. One is sleeping in the driver helmet, while 2 others are scheming to wake them up using big nails as hammers on the helmet. A lil korrigan with a big net is trying to catch a lullaby. Two korrigans are offering a group of snails a safe travel amongst the mayhem. One is looking at small mushrooms on a root covered by moss. Another is trying to pull a red small mushroom from the ground. Under the robot, two korrigans are trying to pull what appears to be a radioactive battery out of a small pond of water. Two korrigans are using one of the doors of the cockpit as a swing. One of them is looking slightly up, seemingly surprised. One is hopping out of the canon of the mech, looking into the same direction. Another one is playing with rocks along the river, also looking surprised. On the tree, a small dragon that mostly looks like a lizard with wings and a long neck is climbing. A korrigan is climbing after it, trying to catch it. And the last korrigan is sitting on one of the roots of the tree, looking at the dragon too. In the distance, in a hole on the tree, a grumpy owl is looking at the spectacle.

Il neige à Paris, et au moins 300 mineurs en recours vont encore dormir à la rue ce soir, faute de solutions. Certains nous disent avoir trop froid pour se déplacer jusqu’aux distributions de repas. Ils n’ont qu’une toile de tente, ressenti prévu : -6°C cette nuit.

you have to do something more. You have to get involved with actual community, not fandom, and find some jobs that need doing/need help. You have to do material things that will help people who are being actively harmed and no amount of mental health breaks will make it easier so better start now

"joy is an act of resistance" is not praxis and while im a firm believer that art is good for the soul even during hard times, you have got to be fucking real for a second and realize that drawing pictures is not gonna help someone who is being bombed by the US government
