I was scraping over 30 traffic cameras in NYC last night to capture the celebrations around the city. Here are the highlights!!
Some of the later clips are so cool, you can literally see the minute the Knicks win and the fans flood the streets 🏀🗽
FIFA's president can invent a farcical peace prize to flatter the ego of the president of the United States and spend months pandering to his political project, but Haiti's national team can't acknowledge their national struggle for independence because it's too "political"

Crazy that this is getting barely any coverage. This year’s European Press Prize was just awarded to an investigative report by the Dutch newspaper De Volkskrant. It is entitled “What the Wounds Tell” and in it the journalists Maud Effting and Willem Feenstra document the cases of 114 children in Gaza under the age of 15 who were struck by a single bullet to the head or chest. Almost all of them died or were left severely disabled. They chose to document only the cases of boys and girls under the age of 15 (though often much younger: aged 3, 4 or 7) because these are children who can be immediately identified as such. “A single bullet in these parts of the body is a clear indication that these children were deliberately targeted“, the two journalists write.

Beavers alter, abandon, and then return to landscapes on multi-generational, multi-century timescales and I can’t stop thinking about this beaver as some kind of Rip van Winkle beaver. He was probably like “bout time to dam the creek at Gansevoort again” and then found NYC
Some asshole wore a banana costume to an End It show in Toronto. The lead singer called the guy up to the stage & then called him an asshole & told everyone to rip his costume off lmao. It took like 30 seconds.
"You wanted the attention & now you have it" 😂
D’Angelo recording a cover of Fela's “Water No Get Enemy” at Electric Lady Studios in 2000.
His initial rendition of the afro-beat classic began during the “Voodoo" sessions – as an intended duet with Lauryn Hill.
Later, it was reworked for the '02 compilation “Red Hot + Riot."
Watch a Mau Mau revolutionary explain how he resisted British colonialism, and why the fight isn't over.
Maina wa Murigu took up arms against British colonial rule and is still waiting for his land back, more than six decades after independence.
Speaking from Nairobi on Kenya's 63rd Madaraka Day, he described fighting British soldiers with machetes, seizing their weapons and retreating into the forests. Madaraka Day, marked every June 1, commemorates the day Kenya achieved self-rule from Britain in 1963.
"Our parents died without ever getting justice," he said. "We are soon following them."
Britain's response to the uprising was a state of emergency lasting from 1952 to 1959. The Kenya Human Rights Commission estimates 90,000 Kenyans were executed, tortured or maimed. 160,000 were detained. Nazi-style concentration camps held over 1.5 million more.
Documents recording the atrocities were later destroyed or hidden by British authorities.
Today, New York’s governer, attorney general, police commissioner, and senior senator marched alongside an ICC-wanted war criminal in a parade celebrating an apartheid ethnostate that stands accused (by every major human rights org in the world) of genocide and ethnic cleansing.
