Every country using twelve-hour time should rename 12 to 0. 11:59 becomes 0:00 twice a day. it just makes more sense.

Why does everyone keep calling it β€œThe Epstein Ballroom?” Please stop repeating β€œThe Epstein Ballroom” because it is not called β€œThe Epstein Ballroom!” Don’t tell the news that it’s called β€œThe Epstein Ballroom” and please don’t repost this!!!!!

The Six Day Peace Yet another Trump failure.

"Trump did not achieve lasting peace in Gaza. He didn’t achieve a week of peace in Gaza. Because Trump only cares about Trump, and whatever narrative can be wrangled in support of Trump is what he’s going with, regardless of the consequences."

A fundraising email sent by AIPAC that says:

Dear [REDACTED],
Congresswoman Jan Schakowsky has announced her retirement, and Illinois' 9th District will have an open primary for the first time in decades. Wasting no time to enter the race is anti-Israel detractor Kat Abughazaleh, a 25-year-old "social media influencer". Kat does not mince words when it comes to her thoughts on Israel and the bond between our two nations. Her radical foreign policy agenda includes:
β€’ Calls for unilateral recognition of a Palestinian state and labels Israel's presence in the West Bank as an "illegal occupation".
β€’ Baselessly blames Israel for the deaths of "tens of thousands" of Palestinians, without recognizing Hamas' initiation of the conflict on 10/7/23.
β€’ Promotes the International Criminal Court, a biased, antisemitic institution targeting Israel under the false guise of justice.
And she's not just loud, she's well-funded - Abughazaleh has already raised nearly $1,000,000, positioning her as the financial frontrunner in the early stages of this race. If we don't act now, she could win.
She poses a direct threat to our mission and the future of Israel's security.
Fortunately, we have a fighter of our own: Illinois State Senator Laura Fine.

Yes, AIPAC. I do support human rights. Thanks for noticing!

Earlier this month, a video of a bag being thrown out of a second-story window at the White House went viral. Suppose the bag was tossed horizontally at 12 m/s and the window is 10.0 m off the ground. (14 pts)
(a) How far from the building would the bag have
hit the ground?
(b) Draw a graph of vx, the horizontal velocity, as
a function of time. Include units on both axes.
(c) Draw a graph of vy, the vertical velocity, as a
function of time. Include units on both axes.

I always like to make up physics problems based on current events.

60 Minutes Australia: Trump & Epstein : 60 Minutes : Free Download, Borrow, and Streaming : Internet Archive 60 Minutes Australia segment on Trump and Epstein. Uploaded for preservation as it was made private on youtube.

60 Minutes Australia ran a well-reported 20 minute segment on Trump & Epstein yesterday. But it’s been pulled from the internet. It would be a pity if this link to the report went viral

Just watching a hospital series where a school bus crashes. Some children do not make it

Imagine now being in Gaza. Being medical staff in Gaza
All preventable
All terrible

How can we let this go on????

If reply with Hamas you will be immediately blocked with malice
It’s Israel it’s all IDF

Dear @albomp.bsky.social,

Why does, under your watch and in your words, Australia support United States war crimes in Iran?

The attack was illegal under international law, and carried out in an unconstitutional manner under the law of the United States.

Why sign us up to supporting it?

The word anti semitism is thrown around. I am a NY Jew that supports a Palestinian State, I am not a Zionist, I believe Israel and it’s illegal settlements by people that have no right to land that has been owned and farmed by Palestinians for 1,000s of years. I guess I am an antisemite Jew!
