This is why it is vitally important to fund basic scientific research.

ATP I wouldn't be shocked if they had something to do with the Central Park Jogger case, since accusations seem to be confessions with this crew

I wonder if Americans realize the irony and hypocrisy of hoping Iranians sacrifice their lives in a revolution to remove their autocratic regime while the entire world wishes Americans had the guts to do it too.

ICE detains reporter Estefany Rodríguez in Nashville - Nashville Banner Reporter Estefany Rodríguez, detained by ICE with no arrest warrant, may face deportation. Her attorneys seek immediate review of the legality of her case.

ICE has arrested and detained a Nashville journalist who reported stories critical of ICE. She’s married to a U.S. citizen and has been seeking asylum here after fleeing death threats in Colombia because of her journalism there.

They’ve already sent her to Louisiana.

On NJ Transit on the way home and the train just died.

Just another day/reminder of how “the richest and most powerful nation in the world” cannot do mass transit.

We can afford a war and build concentration camps, but not mass transit.

GREAT new resource from us:

You can now flip through the financial disclosures of Trump officials.

See what they own --and how much they're worth.

See who's worked where-- and how much they banked.

Want the folks connected to Palintir? Please enjoy.

“Every gun that is made, every warship launched, every rocket fired signifies, in the final sense, a theft from those who hunger and are not fed, those who are cold and are not clothed...This is not a way of life...it is humanity hanging from a cross of iron.”

A whole lot of white gatekeeping today with people justifying James Talarico over Jasmine Crockett. I don't know why these fucks can't ever admit that no matter what her qualifications are, a white man is always more qualified in their eyes than a woman. Especially a black woman. Stop fucking lying.

You can now visualize how a color palette distributes across OKHsv, OKHsl, OKLCh and CIELab, and compare 6 distance metrics side by side. Zero dependencies, raw WebGL2.

Took me 3 years to make something I wasn't too embarrassed to share 🙃

“Frog, why do you keep looking out the window?” asked Toad.

“Because I am waiting for the mail,” said Frog.

“But there will not be any,” said Toad.

“Oh yes there will,” said Frog, “because I have sent you a letter.”

⚠️🚨🚨
If you've read about people going to the wrong polling place to vote in Texas today, here is a clear explanation of what just happened. It is both disgusting and terrifying how the Republican party (in general) and Ken Paxton (specifically) intentionally suppressed Dem votes in this election.
