A lot of comments on Mars rovers or Moon landings, but it's important to remember that the planet NASA studies most is Earth. This is less about cutting flashy things like moonwalks and more about keeping communities in the dark on climate, weather, agriculture, pollution, natural hazards, and more.

⛵️Breaking: The Global Sumud Flotilla says the Italian naval frigate shadowing their ships will soon issue a radio call urging participants to abandon the mission and return to shore before reaching Gaza’s “critical zone,” where Israeli interception is most likely. Instead of escorting the flotilla…

Italy has moved me to tears for 3 days straight. Bravo ❤️

I like that you said RadiShTree and I knew exactly where you were talking about. The photo on the link only confirmed it.

DOJ Deletes Study Showing Domestic Terrorists Are Most Often Right Wing Following Charlie Kirk’s assassination and the Trump administration’s promise to go after the “radical left” a study showing most domestic terrosim is far-right was disappeared.

The Department of Justice has removed a study showing that white supremacist and far-right violence “continues to outpace all other types of terrorism and domestic violent extremism” in the United States.

"Porn bans" ALWAYS lead to trans bans

Michigan bill seeks to lock up trans people for posting selfies.

I have written and deleted a lot of posts but I keep thinking about how the brutal assassination of Minnesota State senator Melissa Hortman, her husband Mark, and their beloved dog Gilbert in June did not prompt this same level of calls for empathy, sympathy, and flags at half-mast.

I should take photos of my bookshelves. They’re probably very different.

Sorry, but I'm going to get real annoying about this.

If you're an Irish artist/creative, this survey only takes a few minutes to do.

As mentioned by Ian Fay, this is getting brigaded by far right types over on X, and we need to drown them out.

Angelenos: There's something you can do to help fire victims that doesn't require money (or flogging other people for money).

There's a program to relocate historical houses that are going to be demolished to Altadena. But we need to know where those houses are!

Increasingly understanding "energy dominance" to mean energy authoritarianism. Rooftop and community solar helps democratize energy production, putting money in consumer pockets instead of centralized utilities. Illegally cutting these grants disempowers lower-income communities, in every sense.

Gaza Starvation Photos Tell a Thousand Lies Hamas propaganda exploits seriously ill children, and Western media go along.

The editors who published this should go straight to The Hague. I mean literally, according to the terms of international law such as it exists.

The effect on children has been especially catastrophic. By 2024, unicef estimated that almost all of Gaza’s 1.2 million children require urgent mental-health and psychosocial support. Not a single child has been untouched by the war. Many aren’t sleeping, or they wake screaming throughout the night, clinging to their companions in terror. A number of children have developed speech problems. Some reënact bombings with stones, play a game called “air strike,” or act out death.

Every paragraph of this story is more horrific than the last.

“[Kids] aren’t sleeping, or they wake screaming throughout the night, clinging to their companions in terror. A number have developed speech problems. Some reënact bombings with stones, play a game called ‘air strike,’ or act out death.”

“The trauma was synchronized,” Shurafa told me. “It’s not something they can leave behind while they’re still living it, but we can try to regulate it.” As she spoke to me, her tone was steady, almost hushed. “In war,” she said, “silence is honest. My presence, my gaze, my quiet voice—sometimes that’s the entire therapy.” Often, sessions are interrupted by a nearby strike. The room shakes, the door flies open, and she and her patients run. But, even then, Shurafa tries to leave her patients with something. A phrase. A touch. “We’ll continue,” she tells them. “We won’t abandon you.”

They are trying to do therapy for unimaginable trauma while literally being bombed during their sessions.

looked up the clip just because sometimes people change his words for captions that end up innocently reshared, but upon finding it decided to share the video because hearing him say it makes it 1000% more definitely true and everyone will listen/believe more than reading it written out

BBC and Skynews reporters were allowed onto the planes doing food air drops and they've said they were threatened by the IDF that if they took pictures out the window of Gaza below, Israel would stop allowing air drops of food (not that the reporters wouldn't be allowed again on board).

Here's why.

I miss living in the days when Congress could be embarrassed into doing the right thing.

We did this…
I fucking do not want this

Once Upon a Katamari announced (Switch) coming on Oct 24

I'm so heartbroken for every trans girl who's trapped in the public school system or pursuing higher education. they deserve so much more. it could have been a better world for them, and now it just won't be, and I dont know what to do with that.

Meet the Refusers: Israeli teenagers risk jail to refuse conscription to the IDF Ostracised by the public and facing military prison, Israeli teen ‘refusers’ are burning their IDF draft letters in protest at its actions in Gaza. Alex Croft speaks to them about life on the fringes...

“It’s very complicated to live in a society and you know that most people around you are war criminals, or taking part in genocide."
They are harassed, jailed, ostracized but they are refusing to participate in the genocide.
Young Israelis take a stand.

OpenAI and Google's dark new campaign to dismantle artists' protections OpenAI and Google have cozied up to Trump's imperialist approach to AI for a shot at tearing down artists' copyright protections.

There's a lot going on, but we should not let this slip under the radar—Google and OpenAI are cynically seizing on the Trump admin's hawkish, US-first AI policy instincts to make a play at gutting artists' copyright protections once and for all.
