What you need to know about Israeli election 👇 - Majority of Israelis voted for non-Netanyahu govt parties - Not knockout blow to Netanyahu but very hard to remain PM - Massive drop in Netanyahu block. Fall of 68 to 50-55 - Record Arab turnout Likely outcome Eisenkot govt backed by Arab parties

The internet can be pretty gullible about tech products, but congrats to everyone who called exactly what this was going to be used for from the first moment they saw it.

It's very, very telling, I think, that the markets are so concerned about the pro-democracy incumbent winning

Just thinking about the ad I saw today for the "apple-shaped snack" with the words "snack me!" as the call to action If you can't legally call it an apple, I'm not eating it pal, and I am certainly NOT "snacking" it

I don't agree but this is a powerful flex

Wait, it doesn't??

I bought more books 🙈

As Halloween is round the corner we thought we’d share some medieval skeletons. A thread… 🧵 💀

If minimum wage increases for 18-year-olds tomorrow, they'll still be under the poverty line if they're working full time. @avasantina.bsky.social earlier on the BBC.

Everytime my symptoms or requests get dismissed by the medical profession, I think of my dad, who as father of two daughters, told me he wasn't a feminist because "women have enough rights now".

WHAT ARE THE BBC MAKING US PREPARE FOR www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

is this the only way I can read Normal People now

“We all bet we’d get to destroy the Amazon and workers‘ rights, our shareholders are furious“

In today's economy, Bart Simpson would be far more financially successful and influential than Lisa. YouTube dickhead vs university professor.

I spend a lot of time thinking about how the tools of the collective far right aligns with the tools used by people exercising abuse tactics. When someone demands that you're not giving enough, the pressure is on to give more, because you want to be a good friend, daughter, colleague, partner.

This man is a legend. Listen you won't regret it.

Yissss

My mate managed to get this shot of a seagull pasty heist in action

I'm feeling powered up by the anti-fascist wins in Brazil and Serbia, but I don't know what to do with it. Anyone know of anything I could do to empower the UK's anti-fascist work?

As I've said before, it's only once I became a professor that I realized the entmoot, a meeting that goes on for three days and three nights, was a professor's joke about faculty meetings.

Stunning Lula victory in Brazil is another sign of how easily we all let ourselves get psy-op-ed by the right's expressions of confidence into, you know, believing them. We really have to get over that habit!

In one day, two politicians - Bolsonaro in Brazil and Vucic in Serbia - with ties to Trump have lost surprise elections thanks to high turnout. The rise of the international far-right is not inevitable.

Man, we don't get a lot of good news these days so priperly stoked about the news from Serbia & Brazil. The Fash International had a terrible night of it & I'm here for it

I absolutely love the photos in this. www.londoncentric.media/p/oxford-str...

At one point he had a Whatsapp group with 10 million people in it, coordinating action. Which I didn't even think whatsapp was infrastructurally designed to support. And yes, whatsapp is of course a meta network, but the strategy was to be everywhere, to act redundantly, to be unbannable.

crazy how high speed rail takes 23 years of reviews and planning to not be built but thousands of data centers can be built on top of people and habitat in less than a month
