Making a thread of interesting stuff I find when I go wikipedia spelunking, because some of it is far too interesting.

Firstly: our galaxy's centre has a black hole known as Sagittarius A*, which was imaged for the first time in 2017. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sagitta...

Talk about a COPOut: In a move that should surprise no one who has been following the climate regime over the past 30 years, the draft final text for COP30 omits any reference to facing out fossil fuels once again!

A cartoon drawing of three wolves surrounding an early home computer with a slot in the top for a slice of bread. Two using the computer hold a stack of cut bread and hold bread in their mouth, respectively, while looking at a bespectacled wolf stating "Mom says it's my turn on the VideoGrain™." In the background, a television monitor displays a Pong-like videogame, with the text "03 Butter 01" at top, and a pat of butter and a figure holding a piece of toast as the sprites. Below, three drawings with inset text are present. The first shows a dog holding multiple loaves of bread with the text "We're in our no loaves refused arc." The second shows the same dog with his legs spread wide atop a giant loaf of bread, with the text "You'll 'spread' joy this holiday season with VideoGrain!" The third shows various animals gleefully eyeing both a giant potato and a television set displaying a live video image of potatoes au gratin. Text reads "See also: VideoGratin™"

A mysterious stranger makes his appearance, this week on SABLE: A GHOST STORY sablecomic.com
Comic panels from the webcomic SABLE: A GHOST STORY. Teddy stutters, clearly nervous: "Sorry! I didnt- I'm looking for Martin Sable? I'm his nephew." Opposite him stands a large imposing grey wolf, glaring at him

I'm struck by this clip of former Obama speechwriter Sarah Hurwitz saying Holocaust education has backfired in part because people Palestinians as victims: "They think the lesson of the Holocaust is…you fight the big powerful people hurting the weak people."

A pair of extra tiny ermines will be in this shop update! These two were super fun to make, but I might make them a little bigger next time. They will be available this Friday, November 21st at 8pm Eastern time.
A photo of two tiny ceramic ermines. One is sitting calmly and the other is standing with its tail upright and back arched.

It’s sort of clarifying to see him describe this dynamic so directly www.thecrimson.com/article/2025...
Summers went on to describe what he saw as his “best shot”: that the woman finds him “invaluable and interesting” and concludes “she can’t have it without romance / sex.”

part of the reason for the rise of reform is labour trying to appeal to their supporters by aping their arguments and policies. all labour votes reward this strategy, your labour vote says "yes, i love racism, more racism please"

This would explain *a lot*

Mum clearly thinks social media transed her kid, and if she wasn't trans she wouldnt have been murdered in cold blood, so social media is to blame.

I am older than gender markers on passports! How do you regulate gender? By making it a form of government ID. It has nothing to do with state security, only regulation
State-issued documents aren't just tools to allow identification; they're also tools to enforce hierarchies. In his book "The Passport in America," the historian Craig Robertson argues that the document has served both to affirm and to assign such attributes of identity as class, race and gender. That last category didn't show up on the U.S. passport until 1976, after a panel of experts convened by the State Department noted that the rise of "unisex attire and hairstyles" had made it harder to determine a person's sex. "Gender markers thus were born out of the fear that gender was becoming ungovernable," wrote the immigration attorney Lauren Des Rosiers.
