Climate activist Greta Thunberg joins aid ship sailing to Gaza aimed at breaking Israel's blockade | The Independent Sunday 01 June 2025

Organizers say climate campaigner Greta Thunberg and other 11 activists plan to set sail on Sunday afternoon for Gaza on a ship aimed at “breaking Israel’s siege” of the devastated territory

“We are doing this because, no matter what odds we are against, we have to keep trying,” Thunberg said, bursting into tears during her speech.

“Because the moment we stop trying is when we lose our humanity. And no matter how dangerous this mission is, it’s not even near as dangerous as the silence of the entire world in the face of the live-streamed genocide,” she added.

Queridas gentes aliadas: ya sea porque sois cisheteros, o porque queréis mostrar solidaridad con algún grupo dentro del colectivo LGBT+ que no es el vuestro:

Por favor, poneos banderas arcoiris o trans. En sitios visibles. Si queréis, usad palabras tipo "Welcome" "lugar seguro", "LGBT friendly", lo que sea, pero simplemente los colores de esas dos banderas son algo práctico y fácil.

1. Nadie lo va a considerar apropiación porque está bastante establecido su uso como muestra de solidaridad.
2. Necesitamos más visibilidad de la bandera y las reivindicaciones trans.
3. Tendrás excelentes oportunidades de contestar "¿de qué es esa bandera?" con amigos y conocidos, más en el caso de la trans que en la arcoiris.
4. Podríamos tener una "bandera del aliado"... pero ¿por qué? ¿hay banderas distintas para fans y jugadores de un equipo deportivo? ¿Para nacionales de un país y para gente que quiere mostrar que le gusta dicho país? ¿A que no? Pues eso.

En este sentido, mi respuesta favorita a las críticas está en torno a "pues hay gente que no juega en el Real Madrid y lleva pulseritas"; "explícame la diferencia entre una medalla de la Virgen del Agua y una medalla de la Virgen del Aire", y similares gestos identitarios. Esto no va de con quién tienes relaciones sexuales en un momento concreto de la vida.

Así que ya sabes, dirígete a tu tienda favorita o contesta a este mensaje con recomendaciones.

Countries on the edge of the Sahara desert are reversing desertification by just digging half circles.

The ground in these places is too compact for water to soak in during wet season which leads to flooding but digging these holes gives the water a place to stop and soak in. And they’re pushing back the desert with this. By just digging holes.

OpenAI is featuring a "Looksmaxxing GPT" that provides "PSL ratings" for photos. It will rate people as "subhuman", and advise men to get invasive procedures like jaw surgery to "increase their sexual market value" among women, who it describes as "hypergamous by nature".

"PSL" is short for "PUAhate Sluthate Lookism", a group of three manosphere/incel communities. PUAHate came to public attention after Elliot Rodger's 2014 mass shooting in Isla Vista, California, when it came out that he frequented the platform to talk about his "incel" status.

After uploading a photo, this GPT gives ratings like "Subhuman", "Low Normie / High Subhuman Borderline (White)", or "high-tier normie, borderline Chadlite".

It proactively offers to provide "hardmaxxing" (medical interventions like plastic surgery) or "softmaxxing" advice (grooming, fitness training, etc).
