Here is a hastily constructed animated gif from different NASA satellites showing the progression of the Hayli Gubbi eruption. Note the tall ash plume spreading NE (right) and a lower, light tan ash flow(?) moving NNW. #eruption #volcano

Trump: so if I recite this 'shahada' and implement a bunch of social programs, I get into heaven? Mamdani: that's right, Mr. President Trump: and when do I get one of those cool rugs? I always thought those looked neat. like rolling out a little red carpet for yourself every few hours

This is incredible

How did the built environment shape social contention in Late Antiquity? Very pleased that this article, which has been in Early Access for just shy of a year, is now also out in print www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10....

I don't think Italians should time travel. I think when they do it they're reinforcing colonialism.

Impertinent wastrels shall face my blade

listen to this king. a team with low morale is ineffective. relatedly, a team with high morale is effective. also relatedly: we are going to win

They lied about it. All of it. A thug cop shot an unarmed woman five times without justification, boasted about it to his colleagues, and then this administration tried cover it all up by arresting her and charging her with felonies.

Watching Bram Stoker’s Dracula (1992) for the first time and am mystified by its ability to make me feel annoyed that I am seeing many beautiful topless women. Will someone please put Lucy’s boob away? Holy shit how is this movie so bad

"we're not just starving the children, we're starving the *sick* children"

your movement has to be like 8 levels removed from reality to think that some of the starving kids in gaza also having serious medical conditions makes Israel look better. it's completely insane. they just think because it's an additional fact it's somehow exonerating.

Melissa Tran came here on a Green Card at age 11. She's since raised 4 kids, started a business, & is a beloved member of the Hagerstown community. Trump is deporting her, despite a judge saying she poses no threat. Is she the "worst of the worst"? Do you feel safer yet?

Here's that video of Johnson shortly after he realized that Thune had no desire to amend the bill. The panic is absolutely wild

"Microsoft warns that Windows 11's agentic AI could install malware on your PC: 'Only enable this feature if you understand the security implications.'" bro what-- what are we doing here, exactly, how can you--anyone be okay with this?

The State of Israel treats the Occupied West Bank as Israeli territory for the purpose of its own c. 700,000 citizens who dwell there, who enjoy all of the rights thereof, while denying those selfsame rights to their millions of Arab neighbors, a state of affairs endorsed by all major parties.

The State of Israel controls the territory of the West Bank and Gaza, has controlled it for seventy years, oversees all operations of government, denies the sovereignty or legitimacy of any rival Palestinian state, controls infrastructure, airspace, population registries, and physical space, etc.

My coffee take is that freddo cappuccino should be more of a thing in the states. I was running on two or three a day in Greece and have been missing them ever since

Yearning is annoying dawg. It sucks so bad

"The world is actually in pretty good shape, but that's not enough because they want a world of struggle, they want a world in which they can risk their lives for something...they kind of invent an existential crisis." @frankfukuyama.bsky.social joins @monacharen.bsky.social on The Mona Charen Show

Jaw dropped. Trump Administration Removes Report on Missing and Murdered Native Americans, Calling It DEI Content

Part of the reason this story is included is to reinforce a command the writers would have known well: "Do not mistreat or oppress a foreigner, for you were foreigners in Egypt."

The Republican platform is simple: They want to sexually abuse children, and they want you to pay for it.

Holy shit man

One thing future historians are going to notice very well is that both times the US came to the brink of destruction in the two and a half centuries after its founding, it was at the hands of men who wanted an unlimited license to rape and get away with it, not only legally but socially.

Not a single one in the Chicago apartment raid was charged with a crime, very cool that that was obviously done at the behest of a slum lord

collected this year's batch of walnuts, cleaned them and left them out to dry, and squirrels have immediately absconded with 3/4 of them 🙃

probably nothing that our 79 year old president Bruises who just got a MRI for no reason is busting into rooms he shouldn't be in to mumble about the afterlife www.thedailybeast.com/donald-trump...

Ancient philosophy is 50% profound eternal wisdom and 50% that same exact guy declaring with supreme confidence two paragraphs later that pee is stored in the armpit.

"300 agents stormed the building, rappelled from a helicopter, knocked down doors and hurled flash-bang grenades. Agents ziptied and detained many US citizens for hours..." Prosecutors have not filed a *single* criminal charge against anyone arrested that night: www.propublica.org/article/chic...
