"Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has been for decades trying to drag the U.S. into war with Iran. Senator Van Hollen yesterday said he just hadn’t found a president stupid enough to be dragged into that war."

#math #physics I read this caption and thought, "But Houston is a mostly Democratic City?!" But I quickly learned that Houston is also the name of a premier of a Canadian province. πŸ€”

Opinion | Historians Confirm: Tomorrow Won’t Be Better Than Today

"As is so often the case under autocratic regimes, from Hitler’s Berlin to Mussolini’s Rome to Vladimir Putin’s Moscow, things go from bad to worse in stages. Today’s outrage is tomorrow’s normal. People adapt and get used to it."

This entire GOP administration is a CANCER ON AMERICA AND MUST BE CUT OUT.
They lie, they steal, they are now imprisoning citizens and murdering us. The midterms are the last chance to peacefully take back control. We MUST ALL STAND UP AND VOTE! NOW AND IN MIDTERMS.
End of story.

#classicalmusic #opera #math #physics This also works for reading. I've never been less than two years behind in my plan-to-read stack. I often finish one and buy two more. This all makes me think of Confucius: "We have two lives, and the second one begins when we realize we only have one."

Scientists thought they understood global warming. Then the past three years happened. The fastest warming period since 1880 occurred in the past 30 years, according to a Washington Post analysis of NASA data.

Scientists say the world has been warming at a steady rate. Then recently it spiked: β€œWe’re not continuing on the same path we had before...Something has changed.” wapo.st/4abXa5w @JohnMuyskens @shannonosaka @washingtonpost

1/ ProPublica collected handwritten letters in mid-January from children held at the Dilley Immigration Processing Center, the same facility where 5-year-old Liam Conejo Ramos was taken.

Hundreds of kids are still detained.

We’ll let the children’s words speak for themselves. 🧡

twitter post from @ bluewmist

this morning, while taking my golden retriever for a stroll, i walked past a middle-aged man wearing a sweatshirt that read in big bold print "never stop being kind to people."

i smiled and said "good morning" to him. he looked at me like i was an alien, said nothing, and kept walking.

i've been thinking about this all day. i think it is the perfect metaphor for modern life.

Use 9 different integers in a 3 by 3 grid. The numbers in the top row multiply to -102. The numbers in the middle row multiply to 42. The numbers in the bottom row multiply to 87. The numbers in the left column multiply to -42. The numbers in the middle column multiply to 153. The numbers in the right column multiply to 58. The sum of the integers in the 2 by 2 square at the top left of the grid is -1.
