Black text on white background 
"This day is profoundly painful for so many New Yorkers. It marks three years since the horrific war crimes of October 7. On that day, Hamas killed more than 1,100 Israelis and abducted 251 others. We grieve alongside our many friends and neighbors who still carry that unthinkable loss.
 
The suffering did not begin nor end that day. It instead continued through the Israeli government’s devastating, ongoing genocide in Gaza, in which it has killed more than 74,000 Palestinians—including more than 21,000 children. Even since the so-called ceasefire, more than 1,400 Palestinians have been killed. That suffering has intensified with every Israeli bomb dropped on ambulances waiting outside hospitals, every drone strike targeting a residential building or journalist, and every shipment of food aid turned away at a border crossing. Many New Yorkers are reckoning with this unbearable grief, and we mourn alongside them – all while knowing that our tax dollars fund these war crimes.
 
Three years later, we must refuse to accept a world in which occupation and apartheid continue, where war crimes are met with impunity, and our federal government continues its complicity with every arms shipment.
 
To honor the dead, we must fight for a world in which every person can live with freedom, safety, and dignity."

our muscles atrophy.
I predict we'll need gyms for our brains too, once Al

A meme featuring a photo of actor Philip Seymour Hoffman wearing glasses and a suit, looking expressive with his mouth open. The top text asks, "Would anyone be surprised to find out the republicans are working on plans to cheat their asses off to avoid getting destroyed at the midterms?" Subtitle text across Hoffman's chest reads, "I'd be surprised if they weren't!"

Pete Hegseth, l’influent secrétaire à la Défense de Trump, vient de désigner Elon Musk et Palmer Luckey pour imaginer la guerre du futur, évidemment autonome. De quoi garantir encore quelques centaines de milliards de dollars de contrats pour leurs entreprises. www.lemonde.fr/internationa...
Pete Hegseth a consacré une grande partie de ses annonces à cette modernisation requise. Un Commandement de la guerre autonome sera créé, dans le but de rattraper le retard accusé par les forces américaines en matière de drones peu onéreux et précis.
Afin de réfléchir de façon créative aux guerres du futur, le projet Méridien va réunir trois personnalités improbables, chargées de proposer des pistes, fin janvier 2027 : Elon Musk, le patron de SpaceX et de Tesla, Newt Gingrich, ancien speaker républicain de la Chambre des représentants, et Palmer Luckey, cofondateur de la société Anduril, spécialisée dans les systèmes de défense autonomes.

3.7–3.9 million tonnes of pesticide active ingredients are used worldwide every year — more than double the amount in 1990. Most of us never see the fields. But this invisible flood is saturating soil, water, pollen, and nectar. Our food system is being quietly poisoned at industrial scale.

I’ve walked the fields at dawn for years. The air used to hum with bees. Now it’s quieter every season. What most people never see is the scale: over 3.7 million tonnes of pesticide active ingredients poured onto the planet every year — more than double what we used in 1990.

This cartoon, published widely in Chinese state media at the time of Trump's visit to Beijing, summarizes Xi's attitude towards Trump. The legend reads "No rush, I know exactly when and how much to do"—reflecting the view that Trump serves Chinese state interests and can be brought down at any time.
