Polite reminder that you can block anyone you want on here for any reason or no reason at all. You don't need to justify yourself to anyone, you can just do it. Are they just tiresome? Block them. Unfunny? Block them. Boring? Block them. Nobody is entitled to your attention and nobody can stop you.
Holy hell! This was a fantastic read! If you’re into dark thriller… highly recommend #books https://beige.party/@farah/117176587093229846
A quick explainer for the key EU moment on 16 September.
SOTEU, or the State of the European Union, is the moment each September when the European Commission President outlines the EU’s priorities and her vision for the year ahead.
A key date in the institutional calendar and one to watch.
@EUCommission Is this really a 2:50 h speech? And why is it not at a time when most people are not working and can watch it?
"Three hundred years ago on the planet Earth, workers who felt their livelihood threatened by AI, flung their plastic shoes, called 'crocs' into the computers to stop them. ...Hence the word 'crocotage'."

Nepal's flood is a warning of the tragedies to come — climate change will ensure that there are more disasters like this and with increasing frequency. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/editorials/2026/08/29/jt-editorial-nepal-flood/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #editorials

Hello travelers:
For the next 30 years, exercise caution when visiting places that are downstream from glaciers. In that time, most glaciers will vanish. But until they're gone they will be increasingly dangerous.
Dear tech oligarchs:
Use some of your trillions to assist people who live downhill from glaciers to relocate to safer homes.
You'll be appreciated much more for doing this than for bullshitting about colonizing Mars, degrading the atmosphere, and stroking your own ego at the expense of everyone else.

Out of my window, I can see the full moon.
It is, along with the sound of crickets, that I feel a deep sense of peace.

💧 Munich proved that protecting water at the source can be far cheaper than cleaning it later.
Instead of building an expensive filtration plant, the city supported 185 farmers in its water catchment to convert to organic farming. 🌱
The result? Cleaner water, lower nitrate and pesticide pollution, healthier soils—and major savings.
Clean water starts in the field. Protecting nature is often the smartest investment. 🌍💧🌾

There's something strange in the Seto Inland Sea, off the coast of Takamatsu.
Do you have any idea what it could be?

In den Staaten haben praktisch alle Medien darüber berichtet, dass dieses Drag-Verbot in Texas mit Verweis auf Dolly Parton gestoppt wurde. Von der Washington Post und New York Times über NBC, People's Magazine, Los Angeles Times, USA Today bis hin zu f*cking Fox News.
Bei uns nur 2 Websites aus der Queeren Community. Was sagt uns das?
Nein, das ist nicht nur für die USA relevant. In UK berichten u.a. der Guardian, Independent sowie Daily Mail. In Israel u.a. die Jerusalem Post.
«Карова белая» (да, именно через «а») — новый альбом Светы Бень и настоящее произведение искусства. Для тех, кто в последние годы «не вышел сухим из воды, а вышел мокрым до нитки»
14 августа белорусская поэтесса Света Бень (лидер группы «Серебряная свадьба») и музыкант Евгений Кучмейно, выступающий под псевдонимом tochka K, выпустили альбом «Карова белая». Предыдущая пластинка Бень, записанная в 2022 году с певицей Галей Чикис, стала одним из важных культурных событий первого военного года. Но если тогда авторы текстами и музыкой пытались передать состояние шока, то теперь Бень будто оглядывается вокруг — и пробует понять, как обжиться в новой реальности. Музыкальный критик Лев Ганкин подробно рассказывает об этой проникновенной работе.
