right now my job has to do with supporting people with chronic illnesses and the amount of times I’ve researched dealing with my own disability and just found stupid work advice staring back at me is very annoying

Sophia Money Coutts (no, really) pretends that being posh is a disability because somebody paid her to write that.

Of course, protected characteristics are elements of a person's identity that have historically caused them to be discriminated against in areas like employment. Being posh has never been a barrier in employment, even for jobs you're clearly unqualified to do, as Sophia demonstrates here.

There's some great #RadioAstronomy happening in Africa.

The Ghana Radio Astronomy Observatory hosts the largest (32m) steerable single dish antenna in Africa, and its right near the equator. It's been converted for science purposes from commerical purposes.

Minneapolis' Community-Driven Anti-ICE Organizing Is Showing The Way What Minneapolis activists have to teach us about organizing communities to resist ICE

ICE’s tactics have been terrifying and tragic, but Minneapolis is responding in incredible ways. Residents are organizing, feeding and housing their neighbors, and putting real social infrastructure in place. What’s taking shape isn’t just a reaction, it’s a blueprint for resistance.

“Believe your eyes.”

Screenshot of an X post by Omar Jimenez (@OmarJim…, 7h) stating that Minnesota Attorney General Keith Ellison says he doesn’t have the names of the agents who shot Alex Pretti, adding: “I’ve been a lawyer for 36 years. I’ve never seen anything like this before.” Below is a CNN video thumbnail showing a split screen: on the left, an older man in a black cap and glasses labeled “Brown | Business Owner,” and on the right, Keith Ellison in a suit. A CNN “LIVE” bug appears in the corner.

This is a cover up of a murder, led by our own federal government.

Oh I've heard of Palantir. It's not Karp we should be afraid of. It's Peter Thiel. Thiel is the quiet snake slithering through the brush. Deadly and lacking in any shred of decency or humanity.

Palantir!! Sharing this well-written piece from May of last year.

"This isn’t capitalism as we know it. It’s something darker: a convergence of public authority and private ambition with no clear accountability."

Not just any journalist, she won the goddamn Triple Crown of broadcast journalism (an Emmy, a Peabody, and a Murrow) in 2024 for her reporting on Gaza.

This is textbook censorship of the highest degree

Given the quantity of ingredients and level of processing, most vegan fake meat profucts are actually ultra processed foods - and by their very nature extremely unhealthy!

The lies pile up and insult our intelligence.

According to the available videos, the only thing Pretti had in his hands during the encounter was a phone. He doesn’t seem to fight the ICE agents in any way. Bovino also made the preposterous and offensive comment that the agents were the real victims in the incident.

We are being told by the Trump administration that an intensive care nurse, Alex Jeffrey Pretti, and a mom of three, Renee Nicole Good, both gunned down by ICE agents in Minnesota, are a new breed of homegrown terrorist...

Exclusive: Hegseth boosts Minneapolis immigration siege, approving use of military base In an email obtained by the Chronicle, U.S. Customs and Border Protection asked for use of Fort Snelling to house federal immigration agents, weapons, vehicles and aircraft.

Don't get distracted with this Homan bullshit.

They're just replacing one evil with another.

Meanwhile, Hegseth just approved the use of the military base Fort Snelling to expand ICE operations in Minnesota.

Donald Trump's hand obviously doesn't have the miraculous regenerative powers of his ear.

U.S. government has lost more than 10,000 STEM Ph.D.s since Trump took office A Science analysis reveals how many were fired, retired, or quit across 14 agencies

The US government lost more than 10,000 STEM PhDs last year, according to an analysis by Science of newly released OPM data, with 11 departures for every hire. And many OPM calls "voluntary" separations were probably pushed. www.science.org/content/arti...

Greg Bovino getting pulled out of Minnesota to terrorize another community is not accountability. At all.

'Some form of crisis is almost inevitable': The $38 trillion national debt will soon be growing faster than the U.S. economy itself, watchdog warns | Fortune "The United States is deeply indebted, and its finances are on an unsustainable long-term trajectory," says the Committee for a Responsible Federal Budget.

▪️The U.S. debt has reached 100% of our GDP, meaning total debt is equal to the size of our entire economy.

▪️The interest costs on that debt have climbed to over $1 trillion.

▪️In trump's first year of this 2nd term debt grew by $2.25 trillion, the largest single-year increase on record.

😳 Isaiah Taylor of Valar Atomics—which somehow scored a DOE contract to build a nuclear reactor by July 4—claimed that “a person cld hold the spent nuclear fuel from [Valar’s] reactor in their hand & get the same amount of radiation as one would expect from a hospital CT scan.”
