South Africa’s President Cyril Ramaphosa says the US-backed agreement to end Israel's war on Gaza will have no bearing on his country’s case against Israel at the International Court of Justice (ICJ).

So Jurassic Park is about a group of rich people who don't understand that biology is far more complicated than "there are only two genders" and how this ignorance toward gender fluidity in nature causes these rich people to lose their money and die.

Busts of Jayce and Viktor, with their heads split open, sharing a single skull with arcane corruption all over it. There are butterflies fluttering around them, they're also surrounded by Zaun's smoke and Piltover's clouds. The skyline of Piltover crowns the piece, aligned with an arcane explosion right at the bottom center.

My OC Eliott sitting atop a broken statue that is holding a sword and a quill. There's a crack on the face of the statue, with a skull peeking from underneath. Eliott is reaching for the quill but his other hand hovers over the sword.

We remember trailblazing transgender activist Miss Major, who has sadly passed away at the age of 78.

Miss Major began organizing before 1969’s Stonewall riots, and her love for her community has turned her into a mother figure to thousands of queer and trans people around the world.

Janet Mock has called Miss Major, who has nurtured generations of queer and trans youth, “the mother we all deserve.”…

So far TODAY Israel has:

- bombed Gaza City
- bombed Khan Younis
- shot and killed five Palestinians in Gaza City
- refused to open the Rafah border crossing
- announced they would once more block aid

This is what a "ceasefire" with Israel looks like. This is what it has always looked like.

This is a sidebar but this is a form of manufactured consent of a more broader variety.

What is happening here is that elites enjoy finding everyday actions of the peons (you and me) that we insist a right to enjoy and, instead of taking a serious account of fault, find basis to ridicule.

Tariffs have rapidly increased the price of coffee—a drink with almost no nutritional value and lots of functional substitutes. Yet coffee may also be the one thing Americans can’t live without, @elcush.bsky.social writes:

The Drink That Americans Won’t Give Up Without a Fight

Coffee has almost no nutritional value and lots of substitutes. It’s also, apparently, too important to lose.

California just banned employers from forcing workers to pay a debt, fee, or penalty to leave their job.

Bosses have increasingly been trapping workers with debts incurred in training and other exploitative fees.

Now that's illegal in the nation's biggest state.

I met Subrina because she was a fan of my writing, which was pretty wild to hear because I was a fan of hers. And as I got to know her separately from the person I knew from the podcasts, I learned that she was warm, funny, quirky, with a wide-ranging intellectual appetite.

I LOVED her weird.
