I don't understand

he is sorry he smashed the religious symbol of the people he just ethnically cleansed?

Yeah, I’ve never quite got over the profound moral injury aspect of watching so many Americans absolutely refuse to even mildly sacrifice to help others during Covid - watching MAGAs somehow become even more evil was radicalizing.

And now the bastards are trying to destroy MRNA research.

the names are very George though

it reads like he brainstormed stuff and then they built a game

1 year ago today I was terminated by DOGE from USAID where I worked to get humanitarian aid into Gaza. Everyone I knew across almost 10 years of my career across 3 prior jobs became unemployed as well. My entire LinkedIn network suddenly became "open to work"

I'm a one issue voter. Punishment.

New additions and updates to "no need for flags in bio when one can do this", a pin in memory for Circassian genocide actually from Circassia (in Russia), a different Bahraini pin, a Tokyo 1994 art pin. Since it was taken in the evening glow-in-the-dark aspects for "Freedom" and "Taiwan" are visible

'Against the tide': More Israelis and Palestinians now choose to grieve together The Joint Israeli-Palestinian Memorial Day Ceremony Is Now in Its 21st Year. One of Its Organizers Says That People Are Now Joining Faster After the Loss of Their Loved Ones, Understanding 'They Can't...

I often get the sense that American leftists write off joint Israeli-Palestinian activism as naive kumbaya shit but whenever I read something like this I am blown away by the strength of people who have endured the worst losses possible and yet still show up with compassion for the “enemy”

incredible exchange here, this website has the juice

"they caught a picture of the bullet in flight that didn't kill the president" is some goddamn cyberpunk shit

For people who love to denounce liberals as genocidaires, acknowledging that they were the ones who helped cause one of the worst mass deaths in recent history would be unthinkable.

This is going to sound insane, but I think the sheer amount of death is part of why it's hard for it to get traction. Acknowledging it would mean, for so many people, acknowledging blood on their hands for their actions and words in the lead up to the election.

people talk about "turning into the Joker" but honestly the one thing that feels like looking into the face of a Lovecraft horror and melting my mind is how literally no one cares about the mass death caused by the cutting of USAID like...

Absolutely incredible.

NASA Astronaut Reid Wiseman, who commanded Artemis II, took this footage from the far side of the Moon with his iPhone.

Watch with sound on.

I actually like a lot about anarchism and think that people should generally be a lot more willing to self-organise on a local level rather than letting themselves *be* organised. If only more anarchists actually did that.

Very lumpy looking sample of a dark mineral or rock about 3 inches across.

Some people special to me donated their lifelong collection of rock and fossils to the department. One item stood out... I've never held one and rarely seen one for sale. Can any of my geology friends identify it, and explain why it's important in our science?

the culture books are fairly famous for being aggressively pro trans so I can only conclude Elon has not read them

I think the idea of sunglasses that are also a HUD and headphones is cool and it annoys me that antisocial freaks ruined it for everyone

Good riddance to Molly Shah, a lying con artist.

I usually try to explain it like this: picture Jim Varney as Xeni Jardin. Now imagine they're Native American. Doesn't look so much like the stock market crash of 1929 was caused by kiddies lurking now, does it?

Iris Long, Scientific Mentor to AIDS Activists, Dies at 92

It’s hard to express how important Iris was to ACT UP’s scientific development. She was the catalyst who started it all. Iris Long, Scientific Mentor to AIDS Activists, Dies at 92 www.nytimes.com/2026/04/17/h...

so this data could be wrong, but track aipac hates aipac and therefore you need to give them the benefit of the doubt?

oh right that time @eoinhiggins.bsky.social took the side of liars defaming someone for no reason other than personal spite because he's a simp for abusive wreckers

hero shit

what is the charge. what crime has been done

what posts is Ellie referring to, wrong answers only!

Marwan Barghouti is the most popular Palestinian alive and has expressed support for a partition along the pre June 1967 borders into a separate state.

Barghouti has been in Israeli jail for two decades and is routinely tortured and even threatened with murder by Israeli politicians and guards.

Glad that the BBC is running a story on Dyscalculia and the trauma caused to so many of us from abusive systems and teachers.
