Don't know what to say other than what's in Exhausted; if you think you're going back before Gaza, before COVID, before the financial crisis etc you're not. Socioecolgical conditions = fierce struggle for something radically better or capitulation to uneven & combined catastrophe

From our archives: Restoring just 20 large mammals — bison, horses, jaguars, and others — to areas where they were lost could help heal nature and fight climate change.

Rewilding, scientists say, “should become a global imperative in the decade ahead.”

Sam Haselby Also, the top leadership of Columbia and of NYC, like those of so many of the USA's most important institutions, are now a load of panicky idiots who melt down the moment they find themselves in a situation where no one person is in total control.

as an artist, I invite you to consider that the violinist hates the violin. in fact, it's possible she hates nothing more

listening to these WKCR reporters and I am in awe of their bravery and I am feel so so disgusted by the feckless and morally bankrupt leadership that makes up the American media class

If you're following Columbia, turn on WKCR right now-- it seems like the cops are cordoning off even public streets and there are no legal observers allowed in, but NYPD counterterrorism units are massing. Listening to the police state prepare to pounce in real time, ghastly.

The student journalists at WKCR-FM NY deserve a Pulitzer for their reporting these past two weeks, and especially for their reporting right now. They could teach professional journalists how to do their jobs.

This is a new #JWST image of the 'mane' of the Horsehead Nebula!

The field of view is 0.8 lightyears across—which is a staggering 7,569,000,000,000 kilometres.

And whereas the Nebula and the six-sided stars in the frame are *in* the Milky Way...

...EVERYTHING ELSE IS A GALAXY

Palestinian students at Otto von Guericke University in Magdeburg, Germany received an email from the school that they’ve been recategorized as “stateless” due to governmental “changes in the statistical requirements.”

many ppl currently observing that unis are endowments with vestigial teaching ops. François Furstenberg had this banger back in 2020 where he called the uni 'a tax shelter for the endowment' (when Johns Hopkins University cut retirement rather than dip into endowment)

of course they don't want a cal poly model of protest to spread; they want people to pop a few tents, take some nvcd arrests, consolidate behind a handful of recognizable 'leaders' and eventually get everyone else to relent and go home.

Modernism

State repression is random. People often forget that 2 of the 4 students killed in the Kent State massacre weren't even protesters. Sandy Scheurer was simply walking to class & Bill Schroeder (an ROTC cadet) stopped to watch the protest out of curiosity. Both were shot to death.

This whips

The incredible power of a child beginning her story with a simple “this is what happened” in the face of so much denial.

That’s the dialectic baby (awouu)

‘the protests are robbing my Columbia students of listening to John Cage’s 4’33, the piece of music that is explicitly designed to force you to listen to…what’s around you.’ absolutely perfect

At what point are we gonna call this for the insanity it is? These are college students. Why is everyone from the president on down talking about it? Are people really that desperate to not deal with the reality of finding mass graves full of doctors, nurses, and children?

happy shakespeare's birthday, time to cry about this for the hundredth time.
