Amazing example of creative protest from DRC, where artists are drawing attention to poor government policies on recycling and waste disposal, through wild costumes and public performances. 🤩

Powerful celebs being allowed to be dodgy is endemic, but only cos we give them that power.
They are protected not by a sinister conspiracy, but by our natural tendency to find them more interesting than merely talented or good people, so they become magical totems for corporations who need them.

Since everything is awful and it’s nearly Christmas, who’d like some pictures of ship’s cats? Don’t worry dog lovers, a canine thread’s coming soon! Let’s start with Tiddles, sitting in his favourite spot on the carrier HMS Victorious in 1943 (he liked playing with the bell rope)

The US Administration has banned Americans from *adopting babies* from much of the African continent.
Adopting.
Babies.
What trait do those babies have that, when they grow up as fully American adults, would make them a threat to our country in any form?

On that last post: I genuinely cannot think of any good-faith reason to bar international adoptions from those 39 countries. Under this new ban, consulates will refuse adoption visas for any baby from Cuba, Haiti, Venezuela, Nigeria, or any of the 39 other countries.

US tech enabled China’s surveillance empire. Now Tibetan refugees in Nepal are paying the price
Nepal is just one of at least 150 countries to which Chinese companies are supplying surveillance technology, from cameras in Vietnam to censorship firewalls in Pakistan to citywide monitoring systems in Kenya.

148 mph?! How this week’s winds stack up to the biggest gusts in Colorado history.
On Wednesday, a 124 mph gust whooshed over the summit of Breckenridge Ski Resort’s Peak 6 — but even that isn’t close to breaking records for Colorado’s fastest recorded win…
