Dear @apple,
I don’t know what is going on with your damn keyboard, but I have NEVER in the 19 years of owning iPhones, had to backspace, retype, start over, correct words as much as I am now! And what happened to autocorrect!? Is that not a thing anymore? Please fix this!

“There’s one thing more powerful than a billionaire – and it’s a union.”
Hours before the 2026 Met Gala, which was sponsored by Amazon founder Jeff Bezos, union organisers put on a ‘Ball Without Billionaires’ in New York, featuring Amazon delivery drivers, warehouse workers and campaigners.
“Working people are underpaid, undervalued and under-appreciated,” said co-host Gabriella Karefa-Johnson. “Let those billionaires uptown have their Met party – we’re going to have something way more fabulous down here!”

"If anyone has survived this starvation,
it is this chicken.
She survived my knife through nine displacements.
Every time I reached for her neck, someone stopped me:
my wife,
Ayloul,
and Zein [my children], who found in his chicken friend something worth saving.
In a tent whose thin strips were colder than the hunger surrounding it,
she felt she was a burden to us—eating anything,
moving so lightly no one could hear her.
Even her clucking was faint,
and her gaze seemed to apologise for still being alive.
But what truly saved her wasn’t us.
It was the egg.
Every three days, she laid one egg—warm—
in a time when even a loaf of bread had disappeared.
We would divide it:
half for Zein,
the other half for Ayloul,
and I would postpone my hunger,
filling myself just by watching them.
And between one egg and the next,
a question circled in my mind:
Do I slaughter her, so we can eat for two days,
or keep her alive… so we can endure longer?
Even when my friend Hamed broke his arm
and needed any protein in this void,
I decided to slaughter her for him.
He looked at her for a long time,
then said:
“No, Malek… I can’t bear this guilt.
I won’t drink her broth… I won’t be the reason.”
In that moment, I understood:
we were saving ourselves from ourselves.
It was a test of the last part within us
that had not yet turned savage.
We could not bring ourselves to harm a chicken—
yet this vile world found it easy to abandon our children."
- Malek Shinbary, Palestinian from Gaza

To be vegan is to get smarter and smarter about the food system over time while watching 95% of people stay at the same level of ideological stupidity for eternity

veganism is not inherently a morally superior position. the vegetables and fruits you consume are also harvested via immense cruelty & exploitation, not to even mention indigenous practices or food deserts. if you care about animals, the position to take is anti-capitalism.

Guido Reichstadter, a Marine veteran and a father, was so outraged at the US bombing of the girls school in Iran that he risked his life, scaling the 168-foot arch on the DC Frederick Douglass bridge. He has been camped out there since Friday. Join us tomorrow, Monday, between 1-3pm, to show support for this heroic act of civil disobedience.

The study that started No Mow May was retracted in 2022, but the campaign kept going anyway.
The original idea was good: mow less in spring so emerging native bees have more flowers. But what actually blooms in an unmowed American lawn is mostly non-native.
Dandelions, clover, creeping charlie: they all came over from Europe and don't support the native specialist bees the campaign was supposed to help.
The bigger problem is what happens June 1. People mow their tall lawns the day the calendar flips, chopping caterpillars, evicting bumblebee queens, and potentially destroying the nests of rabbits and birds in one afternoon.
Better alternatives: Mow less all summer (Slow Mow Summer is what Appleton, WI calls it now). Reduce your lawn size, replace turf with native flowers.
Plant goldenrod, native asters, milkweed, and other native flowers. Those are the plants the specialist bees actually need.
No Mow May is better than nothing, but real native habitat is better than No Mow May.
