Today our teams across the #GazaStrip were treating severely wounded patients in attacks by Israeli forces, causing alarming civilian casualties. We have seen injured patients in Al Aqsa, Nasser and Al Shifa hospitals.

Israel's military said the ceasefire in Gaza resumed after it carried out heavy airstrikes overnight that killed 104 people, including 46 children, according to local health officials. n.pr/48SFSKo

Leqaa Kordia—not a Columbia student but “a simple Palestinian girl,” as she describes herself—is the last remaining campus protester still in detention from the Trump Administration’s crackdown on pro-Palestinian demonstrators in the U.S.

New from me @thenation.com: the farce at Sharm El-Sheikh displays the delusion that led to October 7 and the genocide Israel pursued after it — that the U.S. regional coalition can pursue normalization over the heads of the Palestinians, who are supposed to accept permanent subjugation.

Made a mini doc telling the story of my friends' hobby-turned-business. It was a labor of love and my first experience wearing three hats (film/edit/grade). Enjoy! youtu.be/9QNEFdlwJCY?... #art

This is an absolutely brilliant piece and well worth the read - "'I think the visual lexicon of open-source investigation is something that the Israelis have co-opted as a way to try to delegitimize [those investigations] and confuse,' said Elizabeth Breiner..."

I joke because haha vibe work AND the history of labor automation being applied to justify paying the workers subject to it less/treating them poorly is clear and consistent and not up for debate. So I'm also serious.

Super fun and immediately installed. Always love a good PWA game 🌐 (I still play Proxx @jakearchibald.com and @surma.dev and even got my 7 year old into it!)

Aaaand my #BCON25 #b3d talk is already online! It was (and is) an amazing experience. Thank you so much @blender.org OTOY Render-Nnetwork and of course the amazing audience for having me 🥰 Hopefully you can take something away from it 🧑‍🎓 www.youtube.com/watch?v=lCia...

So good. "To quote the fifty-third president of the United States, Abraham Lincoln: “Your scientists were so preoccupied with whether or not they could, they didn’t stop to think if they should.”"

Ta-Nehisi Coates on Charlie Kirk and the pundits and politicians sanitizing his legacy.

It’s official: the United Nations Commission of Inquiry concludes Israel is committing genocide. The UN body calls on nations to stop sending weapons to Israel, ensure people within their jurisdiction aren’t aiding or inciting the genocide, and hold those who are accountable.

For my latest Weekly Chart at @datawrapper.de I tried a different way of mapping destruction in Gaza using OSM buildings. www.datawrapper.de/blog/mapping...

updated the app to include a standalone SWU calculator after seeing this graphic from @worldnuclear.bsky.social (thank you to @aminal.bsky.social for sharing) Also updated rounding logic for more precision and added WNA to the resources page 🧵⤵️ #nukesky enrichment-calc.netlify.app

Time to learn some Unreal with @gamedevtv.bsky.social! Navigation is so different from Blender and will take some getting used to, blueprints are exciting, and there's a lot built in that is extremely convenient. After lesson one I made this awesome and totally safe teeter-totter 😂 #UE5

80 years ago, on August 6, 1945, a single shutter clicked in Hiroshima and recorded what no camera had captured before, and none has again: the immediate aftermath of a city annihilated by nuclear weapons. "Atomic testament: Yoshito Matsushige and the first photos of Hiroshima's nuclear toll."

What AI-based "vibe coding" feels like:

"In November, 2024, a report by the Community Training Center for Crisis Management found that ninety-six per cent of children living through this war feel that their death is imminent, and nearly half said that they want to die."

So you're saying there's a two year "sunset clause" on the effect of strikes and they lead to decreased transparency? I guess a multilateral agreement w/ increased monitoring & verification wherein some requirements would expire over varying 5, 10, 15+ year timelines is just not as cool. #nukesky

An administration that claims to be obsessed with eliminating waste should look no further than the Sentinel ICBM program. @mknight.bsky.social and I have done a deep dive into the system; we explore why the program is so behind schedule, over-budget, and poorly managed. 👇 fas.org/publication/...

🚨 What are the radiological risks of striking Fordow, Natanz, Isfahan—and other Iranian nuclear facilities. I assessed the risks yesterday for @thebulletin.org thebulletin.org/2025/06/the-... #Fordow #Natanz #Isfahan #Esfahan #Iran #nuclearweapons #JCPOA #NPT

Thanks for sharing. Another context obviously is that fissile material doesn’t make a bomb - Iran would have to build a design that can use the material to go boom.

Although, again, one can make nuclear explosives from 60% enriched material. I leave it as an exercise to the reader to the do the necessary math to get the mass & dimensions involved.

Here's a good example of when to use an enrichment calculator! #NukeSky Per @iaeaorg.bsky.social via @apnews.com via @npr.org: Iran has 408.6 kg uranium enriched up to 60%... a short, technical step away from weapons-grade levels of 90% So what is "a short technical step"?... ⤵️

"...shunting consequential tasks to black-box machines trained on always-biased historical data is not a viable solution for any kind of just and accountable outcome." Can't wait to read the book @alexhanna.bsky.social and @emilymbender.bsky.social!!!

This week on @ThisAmerLife: I reported on Gaza’s severe food shortages and what it means to live through starvation. Features my own experience and voices from those surviving it now.

Her name was Sameera and she was sixty-two. Her husband was too sick to walk and she couldn’t carry him. “If we leave, we die on the road. If we stay, we die here,” she said. “At least here I know the ground. I know which walls will fall on me.”

Happy Fishbot Friday 🐟🤖 #b3d Starting chapter 2 of @louisdumont.bsky.social Robotic Planet course from CG Boost. Following along for the first pass, and then trying to recreate the blockout again from memory helps me to remember some of the techniques.

Every post from @bciechanowski.bsky.social is mind-blowingly good. The writing, visuals, and interactivity are unmatched. Loved this one on cameras and lenses: ciechanow.ski/cameras-and-... #photography

Among the many highlights of the latest Team Deakins podcast, on the topic of open source software and Blender, Greig Fraser had some very kind things to say about Flow @gintszilbalodis.bsky.social: pca.st/episode/5f3f...

Finished a complete refactor of my gas centrifuge enrichment calculator! Huge thank you to @scientistsorg.bsky.social, @nti.org, @armscontrolwonk.bsky.social communities for making so many resources available to the public. #nukesky Try it: enrichment-calc.netlify.app New features include: ⤵️

Maintaining and modernizing the U.S. nuclear arsenal will cost nearly $1 trillion over the next decade, according to the CBO. That’s $190 billion more than the previous estimate. Read @winkie.bsky.social report in @usatoday.com

NEW on how Mohsen Mahdawi was detained in a "trap." At a citizenship interview, he signed his pledge to “defend the Constitution." The official left to go “check” something. Said he'd be back. Then masked & armed agents came in, shackled Mahdawi, and tried to fly him 1000 miles away to Louisiana.

This is by filmmaker Dolly Li, who served as a consultant for Ryan Coogler's new movie Sinners and says in NY Mag, “Sinners happens to be set in Clarksdale, Mississippi, during the Jim Crow era, which was also the height of Chinese grocery stores’ popularity in the Delta.” #sinners
