Bara í dag voru 11 palestínskir einstaklingar úr sömu fjölskyldunni myrt, þrjú börn og 7 konur.

Það var ekki Hamas sem myrti þau, heldur Ísraelsher. Ísraelskur dáti miðaði fallbyssu skriðdrekans síns á bíl fjölskyldunnar, og skaut.

Whale is an animal. Of course the Gaza people killed the whale, they need food.

Christopher Columbus And The Replacement-Level Historical Figure | Defector It’s easy to tell Columbus’s story as one of a determined innovator, triumphing over the backwardness and ignorance of medieval Europe to usher in a new era of global exploration, trade, colonization,...

I wrote about this back when "The Verge" came out for Defector. Loved writing this essay. defector.com/christopher-...

Þú veist mikið um snigla. Það er skemmtilegt.

Sá spænski er svo stór!

Text card: Listen for dangerous words. Be alert to the use of the words extremism and terrorism. Be alive to the fatal notions of emergency and exception. Be angry about the treacherous use of patriotic vocabulary. #OnTyranny

One of the lessons I discuss in "On Tyranny":
Listen for dangerous words.

Fjallhraustur er líka til.

Ég held að þetta sé brekkusnigill. Ekki eins slæmur og sá nýi spænski, sem er svartur.

Við segjum þó stundum rótarávextir, salat, kál.

Nú skil ég ..!

Nei, engan veginn.

Happy Petrov Day to those who celebrate. On September 26, 1983, Stanislav Petrov made the correct decision to not trust a computer.

I've attached a short clip from a reenactment of the situation in the documentary The Man Who Saved the World.

Trump to the UN: "I'm really good at this stuff. Your countries are going to hell."

100 years of August sea surface temperature anomalies updated through 2025. There is a lot of variability from year-to-year (like El Niño/La Niña patterns) in addition to human-caused climate change evident through long-term warming.

Ya know, I would watch the hell out of a song contest consisting of Spain, Slovenia, the Netherlands, Iceland and Ireland

257. The Commission recommends that all Member States: (a) Employ all means reasonably available to them to prevent the commission of genocide in the Gaza Strip; (b) Cease the transfer of arms and other equipment or items, including jet fuel, to the State of Israel or third States where there is reason to suspect their use in military operations that have involved or could involve the commission of genocide; (c) Ensure individuals and corporations in their territories and within their jurisdiction are not involved in the commission of genocide, aiding and assisting the commission of genocide or incitement to commit genocide and investigate and prosecute those who may be implicated in these crimes under international law; (d) Facilitate the investigations and domestic proceedings and take action (including imposing sanctions) against the State of Israel and against individuals or corporations that are involved in or facilitating the commission of genocide or incitement to commit genocide; (e) Cooperate with the investigation of the Office of the Prosecutor of the International Criminal Court. 258. The Commission recommends that the Prosecutor of the International Criminal Court: (a) Examine, within its continuing investigation in the Situation in the State of Palestine, the crime of genocide for amendment to existing arrest warrants and addition to future application for arrest warrants; (b) Examine the involvement of officials mentioned in this report for inclusion as those most responsible for international crimes committed in the occupied Palestinian territory.

Today, the UN officially designated Israel’s assault on Gaza as a genocide.

As a party to the Genocide Convention, the U.S. has a legal obligation to obey our own laws, stop weapons sales to Israel, and demand a permanent ceasefire.

End the genocide. Ceasefire now.

Tonight I watced Amarcord for the third time.

Last night I watched Oedipus Rex. Had not seen it since 50 years ago.

I like the vignette.

"…and Magda Goebbels made a great strudel.”

Yes, I also started my handocrafs season yesterday after watching the film The Army of Sjadows by Jean-Pierre Melville.

Image release August 16, 2012 Astronomers using data from NASA's Hubble Space Telescope have caught two clusters full of massive stars that may be in the early stages of merging. The 30 Doradus Nebula is 170,000 light-years from Earth. What at first was thought to be only one cluster in the core of the massive star-forming region 30 Doradus has been found to be a composite of two clusters that differ in age by about one million years. The entire 30 Doradus complex has been an active star-forming region for 25 million years, and it is currently unknown how much longer this region can continue creating new stars. Smaller systems that merge into larger ones could help to explain the origin of some of the largest known star clusters. The Hubble observations, made with the Wide Field Camera 3, were taken Oct. 20-27, 2009. The blue color is light from the hottest, most massive stars; the green from the glow of oxygen; and the red from fluorescing hydrogen.
