Chinese newspaper cartoon (Today... 😂 )

The stories & photos from today’s voting rights marches in Alabama deserve to be seen by people who weren’t able to stand there in person. If this piece moves you, please share it widely & help make sure these voices aren’t lost in the noise of a crowded news cycle. open.substack.com/pub/joycevan...

Brilliant

Fifteen uncoupled simple pendulums of monotonically increasing lengths dance together to produce visual traveling waves, standing waves, beating, and seemingly random motion. 📽: Harvard Natural Sciences Lecture Demonstrations

Good point, should be more widely stated. And btw, not just in relation to Americans/USA

Interesting - pre-election the Greens were everywhere here in Hackney and Labour seemed far less visible

The Confederacy is being revived, and only cartoonists are covering it. @andertoon.bsky.social

Amazing capture

Good article, well argued. I still associate established NCA content with tired formats, the studio/desk, the standing outside no.10 - and how long ago was The Day Today?

Grounds for optimism

There are lots of questions I want to ask Reform people, mostly starting "about that five million quid", but it would be a shame to let this moment from Robert Jenrick slip past unnoticed. thecritic.co.uk/toda...

Came across this after reading about Richard Dawkins’ unexpected AI conversion: ‘Why AI is unlikely to become conscious’ by Anil Seth youtu.be/tJV-vdbZ388

‘Radical listening’ and the importance of being heard - great article www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Vote Reform. Or we will house *dangerous migrant centres* in your village. And if you vote Green, it will be even worse for you. It's beyond disturbing. The chill wind of threat, thuggery and menace of a kind never before seen in Britain.

NASA’s JUNO dropped new image from Jupiter

Two photos. Same room. Same flags. Same astronauts. In one, the President stands with them, smiling, centered, human. In the other, the President sits scowling, rambling, diminished. Four astronauts. Two presidents. And the faces tell you everything.

The local laundromat here does the same. I picked up novel whilst waiting on Sunday morning, haven’t put it down since. 📖🤗

If this proves true, rather than sickeningly plausible (what would prove it?), I wonder how Americans would react?

If this is true, it would be quite revealing and make you wonder why not widely known

Very good article “Pattern-matching algorithms produce mimicry, not meaning; inside the black box of their output is the simulacrum of what it means to inhabit experience”

People power works. Together, we can force Palantir out of the NHS. Message your local trust and tell them: Say no to Palantir https://notopalantir.goodlawproject.org/email-to-target/stop-palantir-in-the-nhs/?utm_source=twitter&utm_campaign=PalantirNHS&utm_medium=social_media

Okay, fine. This is the best thing I've ever seen. Also, @larryandpaul.bsky.social didn't FORCE me to give them my packed lunch — I WANTED to do it. youtu.be/Sh2laOqOk6o?...
