Had this idea in my head for a while to do a smoke bomb photoshoot because 2020 is basically the year everything went up in smoke. 💥💣 #smokebomb #photography instagram.com/adamfurey/?hl=…

Israel killed every single person in this photo in Lebanon. Every. Single. One. All journalists. Targeted and assassinated intentionally. For reporting the truth from the frontlines.

As the Metropolitan Police rolls out facial recognition nationwide, remember that the software is from Israeli firm Corsight AI and was used as part of the Gaza genocide first.

I lived in Japan for a year. Most of my experiences were exhausting in ways I’d rather not get into, but this one still makes me laugh. I was on the train in Osaka, minding my own business, when I noticed a group of school kids a few seats down. They were whispering, glancing at me, then whispering again. They kept passing a folded piece of paper between them as if they were planning something top secret. I watched this go on for two stops. Finally, one of the kids was pushed forward by the others. He walked over to me slowly, like he was approaching a wild animal that might bite. He stopped right in front of me, bowed politely, and held out the folded paper with both hands. I opened it. Inside was a handwritten note in careful English: “Hello. We think you are a very cool person. We are practicing our English. We hope this note is correct. Please give us a score.” At the bottom, they had drawn a literal grading box, out of ten. I looked up. Seven pairs of eyes were staring at me as if their entire semester depended on my response. I pulled out a pen, wrote “10/10” in the box, and added a note: “Perfect English. Well done.” The boy carried it back to the group. They read it together… and absolutely lost their minds. High-fives, jumping, and one kid even pumped his fist in the air. Their teacher, who had been pretending not to watch from the end of the car, was biting her lip, trying hard not to smile. I rode the rest of the journey grinning to myself. That’s the Japan I always remember.

You’re not the victims.

In China, a women's gym membership is 37 days, not 30. And it's all because during their periods, women often miss one week of workouts.

France has made planned obsolescence a criminal offense, becoming one of the first countries in the world to treat deliberate product shortening as a serious crime. Manufacturers caught intentionally designing electronics, appliances, or other goods to fail prematurely or become unusable—whether through hardware flaws, software updates that slow performance, or other engineered limitations—now face steep penalties: up to 2 years in prison and fines reaching €300,000, or as high as 5% of their average annual turnover in the most serious cases. This landmark law, building on France’s earlier consumer-protection framework and reinforced by high-profile scandals (such as the 2017–2018 investigations into smartphone “battery-gate” slowdowns), explicitly targets both physical and digital tactics used to push consumers toward frequent replacements. The legislation is more than just punishment—it’s a cornerstone of France’s broader “right to repair” agenda. By criminalizing practices that drive premature disposal, the government aims to: - Slash the massive environmental footprint of electronic waste, - Protect consumers from hidden “forced upgrades,” - Encourage manufacturers to prioritize durability, repairability, and longer-lasting support. France’s tough stance sends a clear message to global tech and appliance companies: the era of disposable-by-design products is ending. By leading the charge on sustainability and consumer rights, the country is helping shift the world toward a more circular economy—one where goods are built to last, repaired when needed, and discarded only when truly necessary.

Once a streaming company starts charging for plans that include commercials, it’s time to disengage. That defeats the whole purpose of on demand streaming. We were paying you not to show us ads. Y’all have lost it

We cannot coexist with people who believe it's their birthright to genocide other people.

In case your wondering what is happening These AI companies have been operating at a MASSIVE loss this whole time trying to get people to adopt the technology. But, so far, it hasn't worked. Now, they have to raise prices to actual operating cost and its prohibitively expensive. And even then most of these platforms wont see profit before 2030, long after they completely run out of money. TL;DR Government money ran out so now they have to charge what its actually costing them and "customers" arent buying anything that expensive

Is the world really going to have to burn because the USA can't impeach a president?

As @CadburyUK are choosing profit over quality by using palm oil. I thought I'd let you know that @AldiUK Choceur range doesn't contain palm oil. Most of their chocolate doesnt in the solid bars according to Google.

The US - and I cannot stress this enough - is the bad guy in virtually every situation. No empire in world history has ever held this much power.

I support this.

My friend Susan is a writer. A scientist. A Palestinian. Mayor @ZohranKMamdani called her rhetoric on her own oppressors 'unacceptable and reprehensible'. Let me tell you a little about Susan. Her parents were born in At‑Tur, overlooking Jerusalem's Old City. Her father was forced from his home at gunpoint by the jewish occupation. He became a refugee in Jordan, then Kuwait. That's where Susan was born. As a child, she lived between Jordan, Kuwait, America, and a Jerusalem orphanage. She studied biology in North Carolina. She earned a master's in neuroscience. She co‑founded Playgrounds for Palestine. She works with BDS. She writes novels, poetry, essays—with her homeland as a compass. Please listen to every word she has to say. Full solidarity with our eloquent legend @susanabulhawa.
