I just watched a drama about migrant isolation and gig‑economy life; On Falling is a slow, powerful character study worth your time. It distils the pressures of our era into one quiet, immersive story. Lankum: What Will We Do When We Have No Money? youtu.be/Cjh4nm_N2LQ?...
A woman in a grey sweater looks to the side against a bright yellow background, partially obscured by vertical barcode‑like lines. Film festival laurels appear above her, with the title On Falling and director Laura Carreira’s name below.

History calls those men the greatest who have ennobled themselves by working for the common good; experience acclaims as happiest the man who has made the greatest number of people happy. ~ Karl Marx, ‘Reflections of a Young Man’ (1835) #Painting by Rosalie Lettau.

👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼 To roughly paraphrase: Reading is more important than ever and is not about making you “feel better” but about seeing yourself and the world differently. But listen to the clip yourself. Also, yeah, Kafka is imp to read but not meant as a light breezy read. 🤣

So, Banksy bought a used yacht, repaired it and retrofitted it to serve as a rescue boat to save migrants in the central Mediterranean. The whole project cost the artist $860,000. Since 2020, the boat has saved more than 3,800 people. londondaily.com/banksy-funds...

It can’t be stated often enough that we are not being ‘invaded’, immigration is not harmful, our culture is not under threat and the far right have no intention of ‘looking after our own’, regardless of how many immigrants arrive. So whatever they base their bigotry on, it’s certainly not facts.

Fascinating world of ancient #glass ! A small-scale but colourful mosaic glass inlay depicting an Ibis. This inlay, originating from a workshop in Roman-era Egypt, was discovered in Tawern, near Trier, Germany. The ibis was considered a sacred animal of Thoth, the Egyptian deity...🧵1/2 📷️ me
A small square mosaic glass inlay displayed against a dark background, showing an ibis, a long-legged bird with a curved beak walking on a thin red ground line. The inlay is light green with a slightly porous, pitted surface and slightly chipped edges.

Peace plan. Cartoon for Dutch newspaper @trouw.nl. #Trump #Netanyahu #BoardOfPeace
Cartoon showing Donald Trump being carried by servants in a golden chair with a Board of Peace banner behind him. In front of the chair, a herald is reading from a document titled 'Gaza peace plan'. Trump is being carried alongside a wall that separates Gaza from Israel, following Netanyahu, who is standing on an elevated platform  attached to a carriage on train tracks running parallel to the wall. He is using a machine gun to shoot down into Gaza. A sign on the platform reads 'Do not disturb'.
