Even through the pain, I keep searching for hope. My children deserve a decent life , food, education, and safety. Every bit of support means so much 💛 #HelpGaza #SupportFamilies #Hope gofund.me/1d3ea05b6

exciting times for those of us in the photonics/structural color field

The cruelty is the point.

i've lately been writing about the history of magic mirrors, and let me tell you, the extent to which techbros have misunderstood the meaning of the palantíri and the dangers of using them is...spectacular

Not quite on schedule, but not far off either.

Spotify is now running ICE recruitment ads. We asked them to stop. They ignored us. Let's show them what we showed Disney. No Kings, No Collaborators, No Capitulators. indivisible.org/cancel-spotify

Get bent w the phrase “purity test” ffs. Do people not get what they’re saying is “do not have standards”? “Do not change your mind when you learn new facts that are v troubling — & stfu when a person’s actions & explanations around those facts are shifty, hostile & display a lack of maturity?” 🤡

They’re doing this because it’s so successful

Don't lie. It's just so so ridiculous. I saw earlier that he talked to a friend of his about the tattoo 10 years ago and explained the meaning - he knew what it was.

OK, I'm going to send screenshots. Let's start with Where Eagles Dare

To recap: HS2 is being built as a shuttle between two cities with a station in only one of them.

My 16yo heard this and responded by walking around the house screeching “das ist Mein Totenkopf” in a high-pitched haunted baby voice this morning. 😂 We concluded this was NOT a convincing behavior re “not a Nazi”

I’m a mother of eight in Gaza, trying to bring life back to my children after the war. Our home was damaged, and we struggle daily to find food, continue their education, and rebuild what was lost. Any help or support brings us one step closer to hope. 💔🌿 gofund.me/1d3ea05b6

Hey if you're hyped up on the idea of Gavin Newsom running for president in 2028 you're a fucking idiot

On reflection I think this may actually be rather significant. Labour talking about “false hope”… I think that may be a key misunderstanding in their posture. Hope - aspiration - is suspect. Sometimes unrealistic goals are all that keeps you going.

“Surely I too can drink from the whites-only water fountain”

Imagine walking into a room and seeing this Guy and Isaac Chotiner waiting for you.

chuffed.org/project/1531... mohammed needs emergency surgery for the tumor growing in his right eye and much of his head! furthermore, the family is malnourished! donate what you can if you can as much as you can, and if you can't donate, share and boost with those who can donate!

In flight snowy plover sequence. First time I ever got this angle, super rare you can get below the bird, since they're ya know.. in the sand, but luckily they were on a sand... ridge? #birds

Thousands of Palestinians return north from southern Gaza along al Rashid Street after the ceasefire came into effect. But with around 90% of their houses destroyed by Israel, many may find nothing left of the places they once called home.

...I vaguely remember this thing which happened in Boston, involving throwing tea off a ship into the harbor. Was that anti-American, too?

just watched a dozen people ask microsoft copilot experts their most pressing questions and those questions were 90% “how do i turn it off?” and “when i turn it off, is it really off or is it spying on me?”

CHICAGO — Outside an elementary school during dismissal… horrifying. What have we become?

This headline 🤣🤣🤣

Genuinely convinced one of the reasons the British right has gone off Singapore/LKY-posting and replaced it with Gulf-posting is that at some point some of them clocked that "doing things the SG way" meant "state backed multiculturalism and ethnonationalist social media baiting is literally illegal"

After 733 days of genocide, ethnic cleansing, destruction, mass killings, bombings, starvation, forced displacement, and over 70,000 killed with tens of thousands injured and missing, Gaza ceasefire agreement has been reached.

ye see this shits not inevitable never give up in advance

Incredible. The @nytimes.com wants to be the newspaper of record in America. But in the middle of a constitutional crisis, the movement of federal troops into American cities, a genocide, & a massive war, their top-of-page headlines are about a former president's son & Harvard kids skipping class.

Born in California, but the wrong color apparently so subjected to a Kavanaugh stop that went like this: "The officers struck Miranda from behind, which caused him to collapse before he was taken away in an unmarked van." They held him for several hours before releasing him.

Going to share this post from @jgsseeerd41.bsky.social as a screenshot w/ the link to the family fundraiser as the video shows more of the baby than is safe for her (creepers be creeping & I want the family protected from those people). Donate and share. www.muslimgiving.org/arfat

Not sure people realize how INSANELY DRAINING data centers will be on our planet. If you imagine data centers as their own country, they'll rank fourth in global electricity use by 2035 — outranked only by China, India, and the U.S. Read this in @bloomberg.com👇 www.bloomberg.com/graphics/202...

It’s easy to say that this is the last desperate hurrah of a dying party, but can we be clear: Trump’s ICE agents are literally kidnapping people, detaining them without due process in concentration camps (yes, this is the right term) and 1000s have disappeared. These are fascist practices.

Activists describe mistreatment after Israel intercepted Gaza aid flotilla and detained about 450 people.

““They dragged little Greta [Thunberg] by her hair before our eyes, beat her, and forced her to kiss the Israeli flag. They did everything imaginable to her, as a warning to others,” the Turkish activist ErsinÇelik, a participant in the Sumud flotilla, told Anadolu news agency.”+

Hello from nature this morning! I'm struggling with optimism and not feeling people and that's OK but at least the world is beautiful and it's worth defending! Here's a recap of the best moments of the first hour of my day ❤️ 🪶

The obscene face of Christian Nationalism: outlandish untaxed wealth in defiance of Jesus. Oh, and this time, slave laborers, too! Glory! Just remember, for any money you give to Heaven, there is always a 100% handling fee here on Earth.
