Thoughts on Zohran Mamdani’s Victory
counterpunch.org/2025/11/21/th…

"Zohran Mamdani, who describes himself as a “democratic socialist”, has won the New York City mayoral elections. He is a vocal critic of billionaires, ran on a plank to make the city affordable to the working people, and took a firm pro-Palestine stand in a country whose government is the staunchest supporter of the genocidal More

Francesca #Albanese, Rapporteuse spéciale de l’ #ONU sur les droits humains dans les territoires palestiniens occupés depuis mai 2022, reconduite en 2025. Juriste italienne, ancienne d’ #UNRWA et d’ #OCHA, elle est devenue la voix la plus redoutée quand il s’agit de nommer les choses.
Mars 2024 : première à qualifier officiellement les opérations à Gaza de génocide devant l’Assemblée générale.
Octobre 2024 : rapport " Unchildring " sur la destruction systématique de l’enfance palestinienne.
Juin 2025 : From Economy of Occupation to Economy of Genocide – 120 pages accablantes qui démontrent comment Microsoft, Amazon, Caterpillar, etc., font du profit structurel sur l’occupation et le blocus.
Juillet 2025 : les États-Unis la sanctionnent (Executive Order 14203 de Trump) : interdiction de toute transaction avec des Américains, gel d’éventuels avoirs. Motif : " atteinte à la sécurité nationale " pour avoir transmis des éléments à la #CPI.

#Israël l’avait déjà déclarée persona non grata dès 2023.

Son dernier livre Quand le monde dortStorie, parole e ferite della Palestina (Fuoriscena, 2025 – traduction française à paraître) est un choc. Pas de théorie froide : dix portraits brûlants.

Un chirurgien qui opère à la lampe torche, une poétesse qui enterre ses carnets sous les décombres pour les sauver, un gamin de 11 ans qui apprend à reconnaître le bruit des drones avant celui des oiseaux, une grand-mère qui refuse de quitter sa maison promise à la démolition… Dix vies qui disent mieux que mille rapports ce que signifie vivre sous occupation et tentative d’effacement.

Elle ne mâche jamais ses mots : " Ce n’est pas compliqué de résoudre la question palestinienne. Il suffit d’appliquer le droit : fin du #génocide, fin de l’ #apartheid, fin de l’ #occupation illégale. Le reste n’est que volonté #politique. "
Aujourd’hui, elle est sanctionnée, calomniée, menacée… et plus écoutée que jamais.

Why Do Fascists the World Over Hate Cultivated Meat?

"It’s becoming increasingly clear that fascists, seemingly the world over, really hate cultivated meat. For those who don’t know, cultivated meat is grown from livestock cells, without slaughter. It offers a number of benefits to animal welfare, the environment and public health. While the technology currently exists to create the product, it’s too

BepiColombo approaches Mercury

The ESA/JAXA BepiColombo mission has been cruising towards Mercury since October 2018. With just one year to go until it arrives at its destination, what has the mission achieved so far? And what can we expect from its two spacecraft after they enter orbit around the Solar System’s smallest and least-explored rocky planet?

The epic adventures of BepiColombo - Part 2: It’s a long way to Mercury

Video: 00:05:30

Bepi, Mio and MTM’s adventures continue! What have they achieved on their extraordinary journey to Mercury, planet of extremes and mysteries?

They haven’t been bored, that’s for sure. They snapped cool photos and collected real science data as they flew past Earth, Venus and Mercury – each planet is unique! After witnessing Venus’s blinding heat, flying through Mercury’s freezing shadow, and braving strong winds and radiation coming from the Sun, the trio know they are ready for anything.

In November 2026, the spacecraft will arrive at Mercury to stay. Bepi and Mio will orbit around the little planet to uncover all its mysteries, like: What is it made of? Does it have water? And how does its magnetic field work?

do you have art? do you want to put it on a website, that *you* own, for cheap-as-free?

im writing a program for that! you just drag and drop your art into a folder, and run "galleryify", and it generates html for each image, and adds everything to a thumbnail gallery. you can group with tags and style everything however you want, too.

it outputs static html, so you can upload it to neocities or nekoweb or basically any free web host. the tradeoff for being cheap-as-free is that there's no server-side interactions (e.g. no comment section).

i need testers! if this sounds good then please comment and let me know your level of comfort with art and with html.

if you just wanna know "the stack", this is made with NodeJS and Eleventy. if that doesn't mean anything to you, dont worry about it.

EDIT: wow, a lot of you said you'd be interested in testing! Okay, I've just put some usage instructions up on this page, please try it out and let me know how it goes!

Allegedly person got rejected from military recruitment multiple times because of his poor eye sight

He was eventually allowed to join the military as a cook without combat duty

Somehow he got into combat as a single person with a machine gun and killed more than forty enemy units with no other troops from his team

He supposedly held guard for more than 48 hours until reinforcements arrived and occupied the area

He urinated on his gun to prevent over heat

How do you know it's microplastics? Like, is there a collated paper that explains what all the research says in a concise way? like women with X ng/dl of Y plastic are Z% more likely to be diagnosed with breast/ovarian/cervical cancer? More susceptible to heart issues? Neurological?

i'm curious. I try to avoid plastic but, cmon, it's everywhere and in everything.

You'd better dance a dance to make the rain come down
