Bolsonaro's loss is not just a loss for Bolsonaro. It's a loss for Trump. For Musk. For Milei. For Netanyahu. For Farage. For Meta and Zuckerberg. For the meat barons, the fossil fuel corporations, and the rest of the neocolonial looters. And it is a massive win for humanity and the living planet.

This is horrific. And unsurprisingly the work of a "conservative" multimillionaire. Other adjectives might include creepy, prurient, dictatorial and abusive, not to mention, of course, transphobic. Once more with feeling: we need to get the money out of politics. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...

The workshops are designed to help participants experiment with creating their own organic and bespoke forms for poems, creating expressions in which shape, structure and content are unified in a performance of words, image, music—and maybe even meaning.

Delighted that Navi Pillay, chair of the UN commission which found Israel guilty of genocide in Gaza, has won the Nobel Peace Prize. Let Trump and Netanyahu splutter and fume: the truth becomes ever harder to deny.

The course is suitable for poets at all stages of development, including beginners, but is particularly relevant for those wishing to go beyond stand-alone poems written in 'received' forms into more extended works, that are spontaneously shaped and structured in the act of composition.

Amazing. Viva Tilcayo!

IPBES@ipbes.net

A new species of felid has been classified, the first in over 100 years. 🐱 The Leopardus tilcayo lives in Bolivia’s Yungas forest ecoregion and is smaller than the average domestic cat, measuring around 46 cm from head to end of body and weighing about 1.4 kg.

As Yom Kippur came to a close this evening, I was privileged to join my friend, Ruth Messinger, at a break fast in her home. It was an honor to celebrate this moment of renewal with many of our Jewish neighbors. May it be a year of justice, joy and peace.

Fantastic. Leonard Baskin loved Orozco.

Michael Lobel@mlobelart.bsky.social

To me, one of the most touching representations of the Twin Towers before 9/11 is Gabriel Orozco's haunting "Island Within an Island" of 1993, in which the artist constructed a tiny scale model of lower Manhattan using scavenged detritus leaned against a concrete barricade

Rediscovered: the flyer that Andrew Hirst designed and printed for the first Longbarrow event some 20 years ago (the flyer has been languishing in a filing cabinet for 10 of these years). I objected to the sans-serif typeface and uneven justification. Did we actually charge the £1? I don't recall.

Egypt fans being pulled aside, patted down, and double-checked before the Argentina vs. Egypt match, while Argentina supporters were allowed to walk through security without the same level of screening. And this is exactly why people keep accusing FIFA of double standards.
