We also need to know whether AI was used to select the target. WaPo is reporting Anthropic and Palantir tech were used to identify 1000 targets in Iran 24 hours. Who vetted those targets? Who pays for errors? It's possible they weren't involved in this strike but this we need to know.
"Since March 2, Israeli airstrikes have killed at least 31 health professionals and wounded 51 others, the Lebanese health ministry said on Saturday.
Israel has carried out at least 37 attacks against emergency medical workers, the ministry said."

This interview with the great @rebeccasolnit.bsky.social was a "wow" moment for me. Thanks, New York Times and David Marchese.

I couldn't help noticing the question that seemed the most Times-like to me.
This woman is a QUEEN. But also, did you know. A lot of Natural History scientific illustrators in the 19th century, were usually partners and wives of famous male academics. Buckland, Lyell, Mantell, Murchinson, Gould etc. Their academic output was carried by their (invisible) wives.
Iranian residents have reported headaches, difficulty breathing, and oil-contaminated rain settling on buildings and cars after the bombing of oil depots
When it comes to the Epstein network, one of the most tragic aspects is how girls were robbed of their childhoods through sexualization. While sexualization of girls & young women is not a new issue, it demands renewed attention given how it derails their potential. www.eppgroup.eu/newsroom/sex...

A very good piece on why the left can't jettison the concept of international law altogether, despite its limitations and structural arrangement which at times has repeatedly legitmized colonialism and might-makes-right.
Hundreds of thousands joined demonstrations for International Working Women’s Day across Europe, protesting against ongoing militarization, austerity, and their impact on women’s lives in the region.
On both #InternationalWomen’sDay and #Covid-19DayOfReflection I’m honouring all the unsung women scientists. We have never needed more wisdom aligned to empathy. And I also salute them in the acknowledgements of The Fire In Their Eyes, which confronts Covid and also won a ‘medical thriller’ award.
"I am not generally interested in considering women's rights in relation to equality with men, or in a competition with men, but rather within their own rights"

Iran’s people were facing a horrible shortage of water before the war began. If we are destroying desalination plants and setting fire to Teheran we are committing unfathomable crimes.
“The moral crisis we are facing is not just a matter of the war itself, but also how we, the observers, view violence…in the end, we lose our humanity when we are thrilled by the destructive power of our military.” Archbishop of Chicago on war & Iranian lives lost www.archchicago.org/statement/-/...
The "One Big Beautiful Bill" did not include the provision that spared the La Lomita chapel, the Santa Ana refuge, or any other sensitive location, and a map posted by CBP indicates that Trump’s barrier will tear through them.

I am so sick of the BS from the US government.
Environmental groups in the United States and Canada are sounding the alarm about a U.S. government proposal to change a federal regulation introduced in 2008 to protect a critically endangered species of whale. #Canada

Pretty difficult to refute a single thing in this perfect assessment of where the f**k we are, from @iandunt.bsky.social:
In Gaza, Israel and Biden normalized war crimes beyond anything we have seen before.
And now, Israel and Trump are using that model against Iranian civilians.

To escape from the reality of WWII into the comfort of a fantasy world, Miró turned to the sky as a coping mechanism. “I felt a deep desire to flee,” said the artist. “The moon and the stars began to play a major role in my paintings.”
Joan Miró, “The Morning Star” (1940)
It's always time for this anti-fascist moment from Casablanca.
"Understanding ecological change may depend as much on listening as on measuring." Nice @rhettayersbutler.bsky.social column on traditional ecological knowledge and shifting baselines

“UCLA neuroscientist Maryanne Wolf has shown that deep reading, defined as sustained immersion in a text, builds the cognitive circuits required for critical analysis, empathy and perspective-taking in ways that skimming, scrolling and short-form video simply cannot.”
“The forces we are up against have made peace with mass death. They are treasonous to this world and its human and non-human inhabitants.”
