Goats on the run
A pair of goats have caused a commotion in a small Polish town, where they were spotted trying to enter the library before heading to a church and finally standing patiently at a bus stop. They were then picked up by local police, who found that their owner was too drunk to be allowed to take back the animals.notesfrompoland.com

Why Is Showing Solidarity With Palestine Getting People Cancelled in Germany?
From Jeremy Corbyn to the musician Nicolás Jaar, a ban on pro-Palestine protests has given way to a spate of cancellations in Germany. This is part of a wider rightward shift, writes Hanno Hauenstein.Novara Media

Unavoidable phase of unnatural selection among vulture capitalists.
The shock news of the sacking prompted multiple key staff to either quit or threaten to quit, while investors including Microsoft applied pressure for his return. But it seems this wasn’t enough to bring Altman back.Microsoft, the largest investor in OpenAI, had promised about US$10 billion towards OpenAI’s goals. But without a seat on OpenAI’s board, Microsoft was only informed of Altman’s departure moments before the news broke.
The word on the street now is Altman and his followers will likely be branching out with their own AI venture.

graffiti in solidarity with the people of Palestine | anarchistnews.org
That morning I was getting ready for work when I heard the voice of a doctor in Palestine say that he is unwilling to leave his patients behind to try to save his own skin. Something in his voice cut me and I fell to my knees and wept. Graf has been a way for me to deal with these kinds of feelings since I was a kid. And so that night I went painting. I very rarely write anything other than my name and my crew. I will not explain why. I'm writing this to those who already know. But tonight I decided to write "free palestine" too. The first one I did was a hangover on a piller on the freeway. I ran out dodging cars and jumping into bushes. Like an idiot I brought only one can and it clogged after the first line. So I ran back got another can and did it all over again. In that moment I discovered that writing this specific thing meant something to me right now. And so I did what I have always done when I felt like this. I wrote it again and again and again and again.anarchistnews.org
