Israel's apartheid death penalty law has officially come into effect. The law would enforce the death penalty for Palestinians convicted of murder, but does not apply to Israelis. This comes at a time when the murder of Palestinians is on the rise.

Lungs aren't just older than feet...they are waaaaaay older than feet. Lungs are older than trees.

A new strain of Ebola has been declared a global health emergency. The virus has been spreading in the DRC and Uganda, where conflicts and instability make it hard to track the spread. There is no cure or vaccine for the strain that has killed 80 people so far.

Favorite new thing learning French was encountering the phrase "un peu trop hexagonale" meaning "a bit too hexagonal" to mean "a bit too French" because France is roughly the shape of hexagon. I'd encountered "l'Hexagone" plenty of times, but didn't know one could be hexagonale.

October 1997's U.S. PSM magazine has an important question for everyone: 'Will Cloud return in Final Fantasy VIII?'

I really do think Trump misheard Talarico saying "cisgender" as "six genders," and that's just a thing he says now. The first person I saw make this observation deleted the post saying it, but yeah.

A typically excellent CBS Sunday Morning piece on CBS News Radio (1927-2026), which is shutting down next week after 99 years. Why is a storied radio network that still has 700 affiliates being forced to close? Ask Bari Weiss and the beancounters at Paramount. www.youtube.com/watch?v=UOJM...

This is what happens when there's historically low trust in the Presidents of the United States of America

You don’t hate country music, you just hate the same 100 songs of bootlicking corporatized trash about saluting the flag while drinking a beer in your truck at a football game next to your pretty silent wife in daisy dukes who also knows how to fish.

One thing that's really convincing me of the superiority of Bluesky is the lack of a tracker at the end of links.

Can we please not do this pointless dialogue every few months? It is just fundamentally wrong and misunderstands the nature of social networks, let alone how people use them. And yet it tends to suck up a ton of wasted energy. [Turning comments off on this because no time for this again]

its my bday and we're going through a tough time financially. if you could spare anything via ko-fi (ko-fi.com/sharkhugseniko) that'd help my anxiety a lot or you can get all 4 of our games in a $19 bundle on itch (itch.io/s/186063/eni...) including award winning gay foxgirl SMB3-like kitsune tails

ICE has no place at the World Cup! No ICE in the Cup is a national call to action demanding the World Cup remain joyful, safe and secure for all to enjoy. Check it out here: www.noiceinthecup.us

When we took office, NYC had a $12B deficit. Today it’s zero. And we didn’t close that gap on the backs of working people. We closed it while funding parks, libraries, safer streets, & public housing. Call it Pothole Politics or Democratic Socialism: We are government that delivers for the people.

I think we're going to get a lot more of these crazy changes as our supply chains collapse in unusual ways.

the Democrats retaking the House and Senate, on its own, will not destroy the Republican project. The only way to do that is a broad, years-long cross-ideological commitment to break American conservatism's power base TL;DR congressional Dems must be forced into war with the used car salesmen.

"This is not about 2028, this is not about political alliances, this is about whether we still believe that no one is above the law." imagine that www.lemonde.fr/en/internati...

It really is one of the strongest indictments of the American voter that this happened.

'why is Iran so effectively using AI for propaganda and the US failing dramatically at it' is a genuinely interesting question

This account has had continuous throttling and suppression by Meta. They've been doing the good work of tracking ICE and been punished for it.

The Class of 1996!

dammit

Every economic headline right now is like "Ohio farmers discover you can eat tree bark if you boil it long enough, markets close at all time high."

WCW boss Ted Turner is dead at the age of 87 (I know he did lots of more important things, but that's how I'll remember him)

I don't see how Bluesky can promote composable, decentralized moderation while banning users who use the features.

This entire thread is *amazing*.

More details on the firing of the National Science Board. The NSF now has no director, deputy director, or board. They have issued almost no new awards in 2026. The plan appears to be to completely destroyed the agency. The details are horrifying and have Russ Vought written all over them.
