Before we had silicon chips, we had needle and thread. In the 1960s, NASA didn’t ‘upload’ code; they sewed it. To get Apollo 11 to the moon, skilled weavers (often called ‘Little Old Ladies’) literally hand-stitched software into physical objects. Original post

BREAKING: Iran’s Houthi allies in Yemen declare maritime embargo of Saudi Arabia. Trump's war is escalating. This has all the makings of a forever war that could spiral out of control. www.cnbc.com/2026/07/20/i...

Within seconds of the final whistle blowing, Argentina's Leandro Paredes chokes Spaniard: Eric García, and then goes for the throat of Gavi. 🇪🇸 JHC. 🇦🇷

Leandro Paredes from another angle. SMH.

Just reminding you how France & England treated each other after the whistle blew.

Reminder: Leandro Paredes #5 pushing Jude Bellingham in the England game. And the other 100 fouls Argentina did. Ugly is their skill.

A little amateur cleanup.

El-Sayed: They’ve taken to calling me dangerous. If you’re a worker who wants our economy to work for you, I’m not dangerous. If you’re AIPAC and want to send our money abroad, you damn well better believe I’m dangerous.

AOC: Is the answer to our problems to turn to the same playbook over and over again? A playbook that says, in order to win, Democrats must rely on the same dark money—$50 million and counting—from the same people who backed 35 election deniers to Congress who voted to overturn the 2020 election.

Bobcat parade! This camera is on a grassy strip just behind the house. Clearly it is a favorite prowling spot for the bobcat locals. And no, the last two clips are not the same clip, just looks that way! #mammals #nature #cats #caturday #love #trailcam #Seattle #wildanimals #PNW #animals #nokings

This peak amid the Pacific ocean is taller than it is wide (562 m in elevation vs 300 m across): it looks like a fantasy novel place and it really exists. It's called Ball's Pyramid. Original post

It was sprinkling...

For a ‘non-expert’ (he’s an actor, musician and standup comic), I find that this guy is better informed and more insightful than 99% of the so-called ‘alternative media’. Plus I find him genuinely funny, which is a gift in these trying times.

NEW EPISODE: Trump gave a speech Thursday night packed with recycled 2020 grievances and zero new evidence. But buried at the end was a directive every voter should be paying attention to before 2026. www.youtube.com/watch?v=1XZm...

Just rake-stepping all the way down.

So the evil masterminds who supposedly rigged the election to defeat Trump in 2020 because he was a threat to the Deep State then let him win in 2024 and allowed his party to also win the senate and house?
