Hey, folks, Labour's shitting the bed with its new immigration policies. Mr. Absolutive and I both wrote letters to our MP today.

Mine was short and succinct: 'Dear MP, stop shitting the bed,' (effectively).

Mr Absolutive's I think deserves to be shared more widely.

Mr Absolutive has agreed to the following statement: You may take what you like from this letter to help you draft your own.

Is the Catholic Church the wealthiest organization in the world?
Yes, the Catholic Church is considered one of the wealthiest organizations in the world. It has vast assets, including billions in real estate and some priceless art, not to mention the Vatican Bank. However, its finances are largely secret, and tallying its immense wealth is nearly impossible, according to experts.

The Israeli government has not prioritised the safe return of captives amid its ongoing war on Palestinians in Gaza, a new investigation by Israeli news outlet Ynet has revealed.

The government and the military are fully aware that army attacks pose a grave risk to the captives and have, in fact, already led to fatalities.

“The manoeuvre kills captives, not theoretically, it actually kills them,” a security source told Ynet.

Israel’s official broadcasting authority reported Sunday that the Israeli army has destroyed only 25% of Hamas’s tunnel network since the beginning of the ongoing war on Gaza, which has lasted over a year and a half. The report also highlighted rising concerns over Hamas’s continued reconstruction of the tunnels.

The report stated that they are “worried about the rebuilding and expansion of tunnels in Gaza.”

So, Japan's Minister of Defense is Gen Nakatani. NOT "General" Nakatani as this article states wrongly states several times.

More amazingly, somehow this author is based in #Japan and written books on Japan-#India security relations, but can't even get the name of a key, longtime cabinet member right?

Using over a billion star locations from ESA's Gaia mission, a map of the Milky Way's side view shows a thin central disk, where our Sun resides. Surprisingly, the disk is curved at its edges, colored by dark dust, bright stars, and red nebulas. Gaia was deactivated in March after its successful run.

oggi, 12 maggio, spin off della ‘finestra di antonio syxty’: si presenta “antonio syxty fan club” (tic, 2023)


incontro su Antonio Syxty Fan Club

La Finestra di oggi, lunedì 12 maggio 2025 (alle ore 21), è una nuova finestra al contrario. Di solito è Antonio Syxty che guarda fuori dalla Finestra e incontra gli altri. In questo caso sono invece gli altri a incontrare Syxty.
Chiara Serani e Marco Giovenale dialogheranno infatti sul libro Antonio Syxty Fan Club, chapbook pubblicato dalle edizioni Tic nel 2023.

L’incontro si svolge sui canali:
youtube = youtube.com/@MTMTeatroMilano/s…
e facebook = facebook.com/lafinestradianton…

il libro: ticedizioni.com/products/anton…

dalla scheda editoriale:

Più che un libro, Antonio Sixty Fan Club è un’operazione di arte concettuale: un oggetto da collezione, portato con sublime sprezzatura in una collana di libri.

Consiste infatti nella presentazione di un mannello di materiali degli anni Ottanta, quando l’autore istituì un fan club sulla rivista Lanciostory, ricevendo un gran numero di lettere da giovani lettrici, qui pubblicate senza interventi salvo la cancellazione delle circostanze biografiche.

Ecco dunque che l’autore ha saputo trasformare un episodio goliardico della sua gioventù in qualcosa di più di un esperimento situazionista: ha piuttosto convertito un materiale documentario di una certa rilevanza sociologica in un’installazione artistica degna di alcune delle esperienze più rilevanti dell’attualità poetica: i documenti poetici di Franck Leibovici, o i lavori di Kenneth Goldsmith, dove la lenizione dei confini tra letterario e non letterario non destituisce l’esperienza di lettura di piacere; anzi, si esce dal confronto con tutte le minime infrazioni alle leggi della testualità che caratterizzano queste lettere, divertiti e commossi dall’empatia che un volume come questo può suscitare.

We now know beyond doubt the UK is illegally arming Israel during genocide

Matt Kennard has reported for Drop Site News that the Labour government has sent 8,630 separate munitions to Israel since arms licences were suspended in September 2024. He based his article on a report by Palestinian Youth Movement, Progressive International, and Workers for a Free Palestine. They obtained their evidence from the Israel Tax Authority.

In an attempt to avoid incriminating itself, the British government is refusing to say what the deliveries to Israel contained. They are hiding behind the national security excuse which they quite literally see as their get out of jail free card.

While the UK government pretends all shipments are not for military operations in Gaza, Israel categorises the deliveries as:

* Bombs, Grenades, Torpedoes, Mines, Missiles And Similar Munitions Of War And Parts Thereof
* Parts and accessories of revolvers or pistols
* Parts and accessories of shotguns and rifles
* Rocket launchers; flame-throwers; grenade launchers; torpedo tubes and similar projectors
* Tanks and other armoured fighting vehicles, motorised whether or not fitted with weapons, and parts of such vehicles

Back in time to August 2018.....

Portmeirion is a super fascinating place! It’s a picturesque village in North Wales, designed and built by Sir Clough Williams-Ellis between 1925 and 1973. His vision was to create a beautiful village that blended naturally with the landscape — a kind of utopian fantasy town — and it really feels like stepping into another world. It overlooks the Dwyryd Estuary in Gwynedd.

It mixes Italianate architecture with colorful, whimsical designs. Think Mediterranean village meets fairy tale.

It’s best known for being the filming location of the 1960s cult classic TV series “The Prisoner” starring Patrick McGoohan.

Das Video zeigt einen Baseballspieler in einem weißen Trikot und einer schwarzen Kappe, der sich in einem dynamischen Moment auf dem Spielfeld befindet. Er streckt sich nach einem Ball aus, der sich in der Luft befindet, und versucht, ihn mit seiner schwarzen Baseballhandschuh zu fangen. Der Spieler ist in Bewegung und scheint sich auf den Boden zu fallen, um den Ball zu fangen. Im Hintergrund sind zwei weitere Spieler in ähnlichen Trikots zu sehen, einer davon mit der Nummer 9 auf dem Rücken. Der Spieler, der versucht, den Ball zu fangen, landet auf dem Boden und streckt sich weiter nach dem Ball aus. Der Text "They sacrificed 4 balls to save 1" (Sie opferten 4 Bälle, um 1 zu retten) ist über dem Bild zu sehen, was auf eine strategische Entscheidung hinweist, die zum Erfolg des Teams beigetragen hat. Der Hintergrund zeigt das grüne Spielfeld und einen Teil des roten Basenbereichs.

How many people know what these metal strips I came across on West Campbell Street in Glasgow are? They originally housed air-filled rubber elements and formed part of the old electromatic traffic light system. These were amongst the first automatic traffic lights, and the pneumatic strips detected approaching vehicles and sent a signal to the lights to alert them of the vehicles presence. As children, we'd jump up and down on them to try to activate them, but to no avail.
