This is being widely circulated. It's great quote, but Hannah Arendt didn't say it. As Abraham Lincoln observed so wisely, "90% of the quotes you read on the internet are misattributed".

a reporter asks Chomsky if he believes Hezbollah is a terrorist organization. He responds: No, the actual terrorists are the US and Israel, and the only reason Hezbollah is labelled as such by the Western media and political class is because they dare resist their genocidal mania

BREAKING: 👍 UN General Assembly passing a resolution calling for an end to Israel’s 57-year occupation of Palestinian Territory. 👎 The UK choosing to abstain. The international community must now act to ensure Israel complies with this resolution & puts an end to its persistent disregard for international law, human rights & the historic injustices against Palestinians. The world is watching. #EndIsraeliApartheid

Tell me this isn’t the best “traffic” you’ve ever seen. A school “bike bus” started off each Friday in Barcelona a few years back, and got big from an initial 5 kids. Safety in numbers — do you think you could do this in YOUR city? #BikeBus Via @lljunca

The PM appears to not understand that change is already locked into the climate system. The CO₂ that is already in the atmosphere will remain there for 1,000 years. To suggest that Cop 26 is "the beginning of the end of climate change" is naive beyond belief.

I love the Wiradjuri phrase 'yindyamarra winhanganha.' It means 'the wisdom of respectfully knowing how to live well in a world worth living in.' I think that's what our planetary home needs right now.

Rarely have I wanted an England team to win as much as today. For footballing reasons, to reinforce the advances in techniques and tactics. For social reasons, to support the FA's inclusivity efforts. For the way they have faced down critics with dignity and resolve. GOOD LUCK.
