Israel Is Holding Thousands of Palestinians Captive — Including Children
  • Israel has decided to kill the negotiators representing the Palestinians so that they can continue destroying Palestinian people and their homes. Netanyahu is holding onto power by extending the war and escalating the violence. The decision of the Israelis to elect him may lead to a regional war should the country begin fighting Iran.

  • Maduro loses regional support
  • Donald Trump bragged that they were trying to overthrow the government of Venezuela, to stage a regime change and take their oil. Part of regime change tactics is pretending that Venezuela’s elections are illegitimate. This is just another propaganda piece by the people who want to steal Venezuela’s oil.

  • Germany Issues Arrest Warrant for Ukrainian Over Nord Stream Explosion
  • They’re really hanging this man out to dry. The reporting I’ve seen indicated that it was the US and Norway which sabotaged the pipeline. But since Zelenskyy is sure to lose they’re setting him up as the fall guy. No doubt they’ll demand wealth from Ukraine to compensate Germany for the pipeline’s destruction.

  • Germany Issues Arrest Warrant for Ukrainian Over Nord Stream Explosion
  • The most likely culprits are military personnel from the US and Norway, acting on behalf of their countries to damage infrastructure so that their countries can sell their own natural gas to Europe.

    Edit: If you believe the US is suddenly above sabotaging another country for its own benefit - something it’s done consistently around the world for 100+ years - then I have a bridge to sell you.

  • TIL almost all vanilla plants are pollinated by hand.
  • I just looked at the Wikipedia page and I think it’s fine. They’ve cited some sources which detail the debate about which pollinators actually pollinate the plant. Compared to someone who’s got a degree studying plants, I know basically nothing. I’m just repeating what I’ve heard. If they’ve got a list of pollinators and are trying to narrow down the right one, then they’re closer to the truth than I am.

  • TIL almost all vanilla plants are pollinated by hand.
  • That’s only outside their native range. In Mexico, where they’re from, they’re pollinated by the Melipona bee. Mexico is currently 3rd place in vanilla production at 6.5%, so you’re not wrong to say the majority of vanilla plants are pollinated by hand, but they do have a natural pollinator. In theory, you could introduce the Melipona bee to areas where Vanilla has been imported to cut down the labor time/costs.

  • Netanyahu dismisses Hamas ceasefire proposal, insists on total victory
  • That’s just the price of being an invader nation. By definition, Israel can never know peace, only armistices between further acts of war. Unless they manage to genocide Palestinians world wide, they will always face attacks on their invader population/infrastructure/society. It’s a feature of colonization. Netanyahu knows this, but is trying to maintain his position by bringing home an unattainable victory.

  • Israel now ranks among the world’s leading jailers of journalists. We don’t know why they’re behind bars
  • It’s an interesting dance they’re doing with this article, because it’s clear that they themselves know why, but can’t say it for fear that one of their reporters will also be jailed in the future. (For those who are curious, the reason Israel is jailing/killing journalists is because it’s currently engaged in genocide and war crimes.)

  • Andrew Yang: Biden going to deliver us ‘Trump the sequel’, endorses Democrat Dean Phillips for president
  • The Dems are fragmenting and it’s Biden’s fault. He’s too old and frail to be president. Ideally he would’ve taken the route LBJ took and announced his decision to abstain from running a re-election campaign, then endorsed the chosen nominee.

    ON THE RISING HOMOGENEITY OF TEXTILES IN FASHION INDUSTRY

    Homogeneity in fashion – both in design, and especially in its material use – is on the rise, owing to the transfer of decision-making power from the creatives to the marketers and merc…

    On the Rising Homogeneity of Textiles in Fashion Industry

    When I was in university, one of the major questions of international economics was globalisation and its effects. At the time, debates on whether globalisation will bring about convergence or divergence remained inconclusive; will we be seeing cultures merging into homogeneity, or will we be celebrating plurality in aesthetics and philosophies. Ten years later, we finally have the answer.
