U.S. Envoys Refused to Report "Apocalyptic" Conditions in Gaza. Exclusive Photos Show the Reality They Suppressed The U.S. embassy in Jerusalem suppressed a February 2024 report on northern Gaza because it “lacked balance.” These photos from the UN fact finding trip are visual evidence of the conditions.

Look at the photos. The thing I heard often working on the USAID Gaza response from our partners in Gaza was the field of dead bodies - men, women, children - that fanned out around IDF checkpoints in the Netzarim corridor. Shot by IDF soldiers for no reason (unless "for fun" counts as a reason).

Hoy es el Día de la Marmota y Phil ha anunciado que a Estados Unidos le queda todavía invierno. Sin embargo, sus predicciones en los últimos 10 años han tenido un 30% de éxito. Este método no es científico y si acierta es de casualidad. En España tenemos los refranes de la Virgen de la Candelaria.

Síndrome del nido lleno: hijos que no se van… o que vuelven Tradicionalmente, el síndrome del nido vacío hacía que los padres lloraran la ausencia de sus hijos: con síndrome el nido lleno, lloran su presencia

La verdadera brecha

"Desde 2008 los sueldos de los jóvenes han aumentado un 10,8%, pero los alquileres se han disparado un 54%. La consecuencia: el 74,5% de jóvenes entre 18 y 30 años que trabajan comparten techo con los que les dieron la vida"

I remember when the Obamacare site being slow and glitchy for a couple weeks was a scandal worse than Watergate, and proof of incompetence by the the first Black president.

Trump's admin out there doxxing crime victims and publishing porn (naked pics were included) and it'll be a one-day story

Hoy me han dicho que la gente está dejando de coger el tren y viaja en coche por miedo.

Tras el 11-S en EEUU, por miedo al avión, la gente canceló vuelos y viajó en coche. El incremento de mortalidad en carretera fue mayor que los muertos directos en el atentado.

Esto pasa por alimentar bulos.

Hopefully this won’t keep you up at night worrying. 😬

Amazing coda here.

Educational institutions are often associated with "liberal" ideology, but just like everything else in this country, they are actually run by powerful conservative elites who create and implement systems that divert power from anyone who doesn't fall in line *immediately

Unfinished.

He was talking about how the woman was crying and weided out by the age difference and wanted to go back to Ukraine. It doesn’t matter if she was an adult, it was one of the most disturbing things I’ve read in this entire batch of horrors.

The light pole behind the woman in red doesn't line up with itself past the sign.

The feet under the table are separate from the people they should belong to.

GenAI is awful at being consistent. Always look for breaks like these if you're unable to tell if an image is real.

This is a post about animal excrement and the English language.

I am haunted by individual typos from informal emails sent a decade ago, and meanwhile it turns out every rich person on the planet hasn't met a capital letter and doesn't know how to put a period at the end of their "it wss fun doing crims 2gether" emails.

So power imbalance and coercive behavior is taken as a price to be paid. Anything becomes permissible as long as things appear consensual. Those with power and money keep it, and many look the other way to not jeopardize funding, field camps, their opportunities.

The problems are pervasive.

said well, who were they to say, to not jump to conclusions.

Because this is pretty normalized in fieldwork. Older men forming relationships with students through promises of access, that the students will get projects and papers, that this is the student or volunteer’s on-ramp to a career in paleo

PI3 was bringing with him a much younger woman volunteer he clearly had more than a mentor/academic relationship with, telling the others variations of “my wife says it’s ok” and how he was going to buy this woman a Cybertruck when it came out.

I said sounds creepy, sounds bad. The other PIs…

The quest for money continually shackles paleontology to conservatives. And in the process normalizes terrible behavior because of who gets the grants, who brings the funding.

I’ll never forget being with a new-to-me field crew, hearing two PIs talking about the third PI due to show up that day.

Of course the worst people in the world influence paleontology (and many other sciences).

Do you know how many fossil halls are named after the Koch brothers? With museums shrugging “Well where else are we going to get the money?”

Academia is so incredibly fucked up and also a lot of the intellectual work that goes on in the academy is incredibly important

Part of what makes life in the academy tough is holding and navigating both of these truths at the same time

I made this drawing of JWST shortly before launch, when I was working with simulated data for its mid-infrared instrument to improve the processing when real data became available.

If you can’t be bothered to write your own paper then I can’t be bothered to read it (with or without a declaration, that’ll be my policy if I find out…)

One day the industry will recognize the drawbacks of AI agents and nondeterministic automation, and rediscover the UNIX philosophy of chaining together small purpose built tools in a low cost and predictable way, otherwise known as shell scripts.
