This is what drinking water in Georgia looks like after Meta began data center construction in the community. Yesterday I called for EPA and Congressional investigations into the impact of data center construction on local drinking water supplies. We cannot take water for granted.

An #Ebola outbreak has been declared in #DRC caused by the Bundibugyo strain, with no vaccine or treatment available. Testing is limited and isolation spaces for suspected cases are full in many health facilities. Trish Newport, our Emergency Program Manager, reports:

In 1995, Sinead O'Connor wrote to now-Israeli National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir saying, "G-d does not reward those who bring terror to the children of the world. So you have succeeded in nothing but your soul's failure."

The best time to expand our bike infrastructure was decades ago. The second best time is now.

“I feel like what I have, what I’ve accomplished, the things that I’ve been able to do, I do feel as if I’m ready for this moment,” Clark said. https://bit.ly/43i6xfp

multiple things can be true at once: 1) there shouldn't be billionaires 2) since there ARE, it's interesting to see one spending money on being an ocean nerd in the name of science, instead of feeding us to machines and destroying democracy 3) valve's 30% cut of steam sales is too high

Why yes, I would like 25 pounds of 5 ELEPHONE Jasmine rice. The actual bags of Jasmine rice below this sign said “Family Elephant” on them, which I would also like.

In February JFREJ members sent 700+ letters to @speakermenin.bsky.social demanding she remove CM Vernikov as co-chair of @council.nyc.gov’s antisemitism task force. Menin said if Vernikov continued her bigoted behavior, she’d call her for removal. Vernikov has. Tell Menin to act: JFREJ.org/vernikov

In "response" to the reports that an International Criminal Court arrest warrant is imminent for him, Israeli Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich says that he will ethnically cleanse the Palestinian Bedouin village of Khan al-Ahmar in the Israeli-occupied West Bank

The world’s largest sand battery got through Finland’s harshest winter in years. 2,000 tonnes of sand, heated to 500-600°C by cheap power, feeding district heating in Pornainen. And it worked. Result from one install: oil down 100%, emissions down 70%. Industrial process heat is the real prize.

Voting for me is easy. You can write my name in the write-in box and then fill in the bubbles accordingly. If you need to pull out your phone to look up how to spell my name, that’s completely fine. I hope I can earn a first place ranking on your ballot. Andreaformaine.com

New — I spoke to parents whose kids are former patients of NYU Langone's trans youth health care program about the Texas criminal subpoena for their private health records. "I was furious. I was in disbelief. I was scared for my child's well-being." Read my full report:

“Israel Makoka remembers four deep breaths. Slow breaths, in through the nose, out through the mouth, the kind he practiced daily as an athlete. These four breaths were all he had to calm himself, chains binding his ankles, wrists and belly. “‘I thought I was having a mental breakdown’”

rude. in my day we called that Italo-disco.

Total pipe dream tangent: A great middle finger to our anti-immigration politicians would be machines that strip the oxidation, plate on a little extra copper, and lay down some nice eco-friendly wax or varnish. (But only if we act like we mean it when it comes to "The New Colossus by Emma Lazarus)

You: please act normal you need these people to like you Me: ok! People: hi Me: Many common plastics turn opaque white when you bend them past their elastic limit because the plastic deformation transforms the pre-existing structure into micro-crystalline regions which scatter light.

Hat tip to Ellie!! www.tumblr.com/dancing-crow... (Image: "the microplastics numbers were wrong. The gloves were the source." Then images: standard gloves shed stearite particles that look like microplastic in the tests. Meanwhile, cleanroom gloves only shed a little.) Link has links.

This is awful. Jesus. These funds have saved people from getting evicted, fired, and losing custody of their kids. (Also, just to be clear, it doesn’t criminalize the funds’ existence, but it makes them subject to federal insurance regulations, which will effectively kill many of them.)

164 years ago, on the 13th of May 1862, Robert Smalls escaped slavery by capturing the steamboat 'Planter' and steering it through Confederate lines. The US Navy commissioned it as the USS Planter and appointed Smalls as captain, making him the first black man to command a US ship. #otd #history 🗃️

Toad sat on the edge of his bed. “Blah,” said Toad. “I feel down in the dumps.” “Why?” asked Frog. “I am thinking about tomorrow,” said Toad.

SkySat imagery from @planet.com shows the IDF demolitions in Gaza's Rafah haven't stopped. Between April 5 and 16, three schools — some of the last remaining buildings standing — and homes were destroyed. May 1 imagery shows homes near the UAE field hospital in Rafah Stadium have been demolished.

I will reiterate the point made by @jamellebouie.net : if you really wanted online political influence, you’d be making vertical video. you’d be learning how to do little booty dances while talking about political theory. you’d be mastering doing BTS fan-cams while talking about anti-capitalism

Child protective services ripped a 14-year-old from her home to stop her from leaving the state for an abortion. They also threatened her mother with murder charges and the removal of her other child if they crossed state lines for care. So please don't tell me Republicans aren't banning travel.

It is wrong and criminal for government agents to kidnap someone, send them to die in a concentration camp, and disappear them, regardless of immigration status. But it's still worth noting she has a green card. The government doesn't even pretend this is about deporting undocumented people.

This 1952 memo from the Pentagon UFO files is superb There is no point preparing for aliens ‘because no one of consequence is going to take this rubbish seriously unless it happens. At that point, our policy will be determined in the traditional manner of grand panic.’ 🤣 www.war.gov/medialink/uf...

So many white people think they don’t support white supremacy just because they vote blue.

I just want to add, since this is breaking containment, that this can't be made right. these people, each one a whole universe, are gone. there can only be justice for the perpetrators; public remorse & restitution; & reform to ensure future aid systems are more just and less prone to imperial whims

This little cutie was in my bike’s crate. It was teeny tiny, maybe 3mm long. The Seek app by iNaturalist identifies it from this photograph as Chilocorus Stigma, or “twice-stabbed ladybug”. Who would want to stab this creature? I was charmed! It flew away and I biked home.

Hey so if you’re a man with an XX partner or child that you care about, I need you to read this thread because shit is not going to change unless cis men start not being okay with this stuff.

in case you were wondering what stage of capitalism we're at, google search is now treating the word "crumble" as a misspelling of the cookie brand crumbl

There are people still living who fought — and watched their compatriots be murdered — for the passage of this act and to attempt to democratize America. To see it completed felled in the span of their OWN lifetime is just absolutely devastating.

The Voting Rights Act is essentially dead and it’s quite possible that we will, like when a similar SCOTUS gutted civil rights at the fall of Reconstruction, see a disappearance of much of the Black congressional representation, especially in the most heavily Black states, which are in the South.

notably his cure is from CAR-T therapy, which is so new I didn’t even learn about it in med school THIS is why we invest in science

“Most municipal, county, and state institutions that make up the criminal justice systems in #Massachusetts share information and collaborate with federal immigration authorities, according to a report published by social services nonprofit Citizens for Juvenile Justice.” #mapoli

Did you know that @mayorjakewilson.bsky.social has proposed adding $430k/yr to the Police budget to start a bodycam program both A) before having any civilian oversight, and B) during a budget year in which he's asked the Schools to identify $1M in cuts? Tell your neighbors. See what they think.

NEW: ICE started planning a detention center in a conservative part of New Jersey. Local officials have been fighting back since — & using environmental regulations to block ICE. It's a strategy we're seeing throughout the country.

Just a few paragraphs in, and this is already excellent: "I tried to get out of the conversation as quickly as I could, not least because he seemed frustrated that I didn’t see things exactly as he did — a new behavior and likely a symptom of LLM overuse."

A good time for a reminder that locking people up for low level marijuana offenses doesn’t solve anything and our federal laws need to catch up with the times
