Stop Israel sportswashing. Staying silent makes you complicit. Frisbee champs are normal, Genocide & settlements are illicit. Sports boycotts break apartheid When we stand side by side Support @bdsmovement.bsky.social & @pscupdates.bsky.social 🙏🏾Sign here now: palestinecampaign.eaction.org.uk/wucc
Sport in Israel is deeply embedded in Israel’s genocide and apartheid. The Israeli Flying Disc Association (IFDA), of which New Age Ultimate is a part, has dedicated a limited edition frisbee to Israel's genocide in the Gaza Strip and organised tournaments for soldiers committing genocide. 

Moreover, the IFDA includes teams based in illegal Israeli settlements built on stolen Palestinian land whose residents have been forcibly dispossessed. This means the IFDA is helping to sustain Israel’s illegal military occupation

da.gd/AIEd1 Brilliant piece @katherinerundell.bsky.social Informed, passionate and nuanced, the discussion reveals how vulture capitalist AI further degrades our humanity #WeCantAffordTheRich
And I hate what it is doing to the minds, and the happiness, of the young. Going into schools, I meet thousands of children a year and every day I become more certain that, if justice for all is to be our organising principle, AI is not for children and not for young people. It risks becoming an iron curtain that comes down between a young person and their potential for thinking, for experiment and conquering frustration, for stamina and for invention – and thereby, between the young people and their freedom. It risks halting learning before it can take flight.

AI, we’re told, will make learning more efficient. But is that what we dream of for our kids – an efficient childhood?

The Trump administration has claimed that its Caribbean boat campaign targets vessels operated by designated terrorist organizations including Venezuela’s Tren de Aragua and Colombia’s National Liberation Army, though it has provided no public evidence for these designations. The administration claims it is in an armed conflict with drug cartels, allowing military action without congressional authorization, though legal experts dispute this framing.

Hunger is a choice; We can feed everyone on Earth. Poverty is a choice: We can house everyone on Earth. While the richest sociopaths make those choices, Poverty gets worse. Redistribute now: Trickledown has no worth. Take the 1%'s wealth And invest in earth's health. #WeCantAffordTheRich

Brilliant read We need to question the rationalist basis of social science "You can't reason a man out of a position he never reasoned himself into" The greatest difficulty with psychology is that it accepts our current rationalisations & biases as timeless

Superb example of external cognition: We remember what others learned from our environment. The individualized study of psychology is a capitalist trick to deny biological processes that ensured survival. No wonder our economy drives us to extinction🦕 #WeCantAffordTheRich @extinctionrebellion.uk

Not so sapien after all #StopTheGenocide #WeCantAffordTheRich
Not so sapien after all



..

...

U.

Yourself.

You're infinitesimal -

A fraction

Of the minutest possibility.

So unlikely in fact

You sit next to zero.


Through your conception,

The moment,

The pair

Whose conception was equally improbable

From lines of

Impossible Ancestries,

Species evolved

Under inexplicably conducive conditions.

The miracle of Life -

You're here.

Now.

Alive.


& What do we do with this gift? 

This momentous chance?

Cars, TV, muddled media.

Celebrity, cash, corruption.

Greed to Extinction.


Not so sapien after all

Eh, homonobono?
