Trump Invites Caucasian Half Of Alysa Liu To Visit White House

Picture of Marjane Satrapi alongside a quote from her. The quote reads: The world is not divided into countries. The world is not divided between East and West. You are American, I am Iranian, we don't know each other, but we talk together and we understand each other perfectly. The difference between you and your government is much bigger than the difference between you and me. And the difference between me and my government is much bigger than the difference between me and you. And our governments are very much the same... - Marjane Satrapi, Iranian-French graphic novelist

Thinking about this quote from Persepolis creator Marjane Satrapi again.

If the CIA has control over the emanation of Avalokiteśvara they really ought to be doing more with this

Thanks for the tip!
I've got a Tallyman to finish so I've been fretting about all the tiny text. I'll try this out.

Beautiful work.
Love the shield text and the tiny purity seal text.

PMR 1, the Cranium Nebula, seen with JWST's NIRCam (Near-Infrared Camera). Look at the interior structure and the outer, expanding shell!

The Cranium Nebula, seen with JWST's MIRI (Mid-Infrared Instrument) camera. Compared with the NIRCam image, the interior structure is less well defined, but dust is better resolved.

Two new #JWST images of the Cranium Nebula, one in the near-infrared (left) and one in the mid-infrared (right).

The Cranium Nebula (or PMR 1) is 5,000 lightyears away. JWST's imaging capabilities reveal the intricate structure of shells of material being ejected from a dying star.

"Pardon me?", literally.

God these guys are exhausting. They're going to get sued, and they're going to lose, and they know it, but they would rather play this stupid game while people suffer than do any constructive governing.

Indeed.

This really is a great picture:

February 19, 2026 INSTRUCTIONS TO ALL PERSONS OF JAPANESE ANCESTRY As survivors and descendants of the mass removals, detention, deportation, and family separation targeting our community during WWII, we refuse to stand by idly while our friends and neighbors are violently disappeared, forcibly removed, mass incarcerated, and separated from family members. We decry the murders of community members and at least 37 people in ICE custody and enforcement in 2025. We reject false narratives that state violence is "unavoidable," a "justifiable military action," necessary for "national security"—the same arguments used as they forced our parents, grandparents, aunties, and uncles into U.S. concentration camps in 1942. On this Day of Remembrance, we call on Japanese Americans and all people who believe in "Never Again" to demand justice for those we have lost—on the streets and hidden away in ICE detention centers. To break this cycle of state violence. To rise up and resist, together. We bravely commit to being the allies our familes needed during WWII. STOP REPEATING HISTORY. #TsuruForSolidarity #FreeFamilies #FreeThemAll

84 years ago today, President Roosevelt signed Executive Order 9066, ordering the removal and incarceration of more than 120,000 Japanese Americans, about two-thirds of whom were US citizens. The Day of Remembrance this year comes as we see DHS buying land and warehouses for more camps now.

the only place this should happen is academic conferences

Like seriously the US-Kurd relationship is basically Lucy-Charlie Brown with the fucking football at this point. Over four fucking decades.

Sure feels like the 'AOC is a foreign policy lightweight' would be a more interesting argument if every president since George H.W. Bush hadn't also been a foreign policy lightweight when not actively a Dunning-Kruger disaster.

Prediction market Polymarket is courting Chinese users.

That push could get sensitive fast if bets start pricing elite Chinese politics.

There's a lot of cum in Hong Kong. Cum, in the western anglophone world (since 1920s) had been used as a slang term for reproductive fluid. Cum itself comes from Latin, meaning "with/and". Hong Kong English uses a lot of terms from British colonial period, which since went out of fashion. 🧵
