Today is Earth Day, so let me tell you that our home world is the weirdest one in the solar system, and the competition is pretty stiff.

A screenshot of a satellite image showing the Deepwater Horizon oil spill on April 25 2010 on Soar Atlas https://soaratlas.com/maps/141333
Last night when digging through the EO-1 satellite imagery datasets I found this incredible image from April 25, 2010, showing the Deepwater Horizon oil spill.

This may be the most important underreported headline today.
Why: it means AI can demonstrably research and execute cyberattacks on its own.

Idk seems alright
Graph from NetBlocks showing network connectivity in Iran from 24 February 2026 to 13 April 2026. The y-axis represents normalized connectivity, ranging from 0% to 100%, and the x-axis represents the dates. The green line representing Iran's connectivity is high through the initial time period, with a sharp drop on the morning of 28 February. The continued drop in connectivity aligns with a nation-scale internet blackout imposed by authorities after joint military strikes by the US and Israel. A brief restoration was observed on 18 March. The minimum and current connectivity levels are indicated as 1% and 1%, respectively. The chart has a dark background with a red horizontal arrow labeled 'SHUTDOWN' indicating the disruption period, and the NetBlocks logo in the lower left corner with the Mapping Internet Freedom slogan.
⏱️ It's now day 45 of #Iran's internet blackout, with international connectivity severed for over 1056 hours. Regime figures and whitelisted influencers post freely on social media while they silence a population of 90 million whom they claim to serve.
Generations of Americans were raised on Nazi propaganda to think they were ruthlessly competent villains instead of a room full of bumbling barely literate dipshits, crackpots, cranks, and Joe Rogans.
Why is that?

⚠️ Update: It's now day 41 of #Iran's internet blackout, with the regime's ban on access to global networks continuing past 960 hours. The measure, unprecedented in scale and duration for a connected society, continues to violate Iranians' rights to communicate and stay informed.
You are all up in this thread throwing up roadblocks.
بنی آدم اعضای یک پیکرند
که در آفرينش ز یک گوهرند

دگر عضوها را نمانَد قرار

And in fact: he funded the construction of the second temple from the royal treasury.
Apparently those two things earned him the moniker Messiah, despite not being Jewish.

In 539 BCE, Cyrus the Great (founder of the First Persian Empire) declared religious freedom, abolished forced labor, and allowed displaced people (including the Jewish population) to return to their homelands.
Did you know: 'paradise' comes from the Persian pairi-daēza, meaning walled garden?
In the 1200s, Persian poet Saadi Shirazi wrote this:
The children of Adam are limbs of one another,
Since in their creation they are of one essence.
When the conditions of the time hurt one limb,
Other limbs cannot remain at rest.
Echoing both: congrats, I'm looking forward to reading it! And: I feel that in a personal level. It's both relieving and terrifying.
His death is often overlooked because it occured 2 days after MLK's assassination. But it was a major radicalizing moment for the Panthers.
Lil Bobby was unarmed, stripped down to his pants (they wanted down to his underwear) and his hands in the air...and he was still shot 12 times

It’s not just Ms. Rachel.
The biggest names in children’s educational programming are coming out in force to call for kids to be freed from ICE detention.
Here’s “Reading Rainbow” host @mychal3ts.bsky.social outside the Dilley Immigration Processing Center.
All but three (!) of the 1,651 refugees admitted into the United States in the three most recent months we have data are white South Africans.
For comparison, in 2024, the U.S. admitted 100,060 refugees. It's an explicit white supremacist project.

Imagine driving your family across that bridge, trying to escape the dangers of being in the city...
Beautimous
Most of the voices from inside Iran have been silenced for over a month now.
BREAKING: After ProPublica published letters written by children at the Dilley concentration camp, ICE officers raided the dormitories and confiscated the children's letters. I'm suing ICE to get them back. My latest: www.muellershewrote.com/p/breaking-i...
Screenshot from FlightRadar showing a flight path of an Airbus aircraft over eastern Saudi Arabia.
Curious if OSINT folks know what this aircraft is? Number 3 watched worldwide, appears to have some gps errata ability and may have originated near Jeddah.
What a wonderful share. Thank you 🙏
Is 'suicide drone' common use? Was the drone killed on impact?

Yeah... I had to read 'E-3' a few times to make sure I wasn't missing something.
Nice! Thanks 🙏
