Weak & without honor.
Stop issuing warrants if you aren't going to back them up.
However, Hungarian authorities have said they will not carry out the ICC warrant.

On November 21, 2024, the ICC issued arrest warrants against Netanyahu and former Israeli Defense Minister Yoav Gallant for the actions of the Israeli military in the Gaza Strip.

Rethinking folklore 🖤

"Reading the city sounds like something a psychogeographer might do, but in a sense we all do it" 🚶

A walk around our urban landscape is a kind of conversation between tagger and reader. Tagging is modern folklore, writes Sophia Kingshill from @folkloresociety.bsky.social ⬇️

(I am certainly not an expert in evaluating journalists)

But when a traitorous president simply shuts down Voice of America in favour of the enemy, shouldn't journalists come out and fight for freedom of speech and democracy?

ARE THEY SILENT?

This is THE most important lesson of studying history. Intentions are not the same as outcomes...

After Waterloo, European monarchies banned vaccines (!), tore out street lighting, welcomed back the Jesuits--all meant to end the era of revolution and republics.

That era was just beginning.
The US was certain it could beat the Vietnamese into submission

The Montgomery Bus Boycott looked for a long while like it wouldn’t work

Napoleon had a better prepared army than Russia

It really ain’t over until it’s over

A unique type of material culture: protest signs capture the mood and ideas of a group at a moment in time. Handmade signs, in particular, are both forms of personal expression, but designed to be seen in public as part of a group event. This, too, is #folklore

Okay, so if we're on the Julius Caesar script, then March 19 (a month after he called himself king) or so RFK shoots him, then retreats into the wilderness (with his hawk) while Elon and JD struggle for power and quietly round up his biological children.

Jo Ellen Bogart's "The White Cat and the Monk", illustrated by Sydney Smith, is my favorite retelling of Pangur Bán, an Old Irish poem depicting a monk's musing on his cat Pangur chasing a mouse, which reflected his own pursuit of knowledge. 1/2
