Today our teams across the #GazaStrip were treating severely wounded patients in attacks by Israeli forces, causing alarming civilian casualties. We have seen injured patients in Al Aqsa, Nasser and Al Shifa hospitals.

Israel says it's resuming the ceasefire after its strikes in Gaza kill over 100 people Israel's military said the ceasefire in Gaza resumed after it carried out heavy airstrikes overnight that killed 104 people, including 46 children, according to local health officials.

The Last Columbia Protester in ICE Detention Leqaa Kordia, a Palestinian woman who has lived in the U.S. since 2016, has been detained in Texas for the past eight months.

Leqaa Kordia—not a Columbia student but “a simple Palestinian girl,” as she describes herself—is the last remaining campus protester still in detention from the Trump Administration’s crackdown on pro-Palestinian demonstrators in the U.S.

Sharm El-Sheikh Shows That the US Has Learned Nothing From Gaza Palestinans are expected to accept the same deal that led to October 7: permanent subjugation under the guise of “prosperity.”

New from me @thenation.com: the farce at Sharm El-Sheikh displays the delusion that led to October 7 and the genocide Israel pursued after it — that the U.S. regional coalition can pursue normalization over the heads of the Palestinians, who are supposed to accept permanent subjugation.

updating mock data files always makes the diff ratio look dangerous 🔥

that feels like a close relative to the "I should rebuild this from the ground up" when I should really be refactoring it phase 😅

YouTube video by Alex Warnes Rosewood: Handcrafted, Original Designs | Mini-doc shot on LUMIX

Made a mini doc telling the story of my friends' hobby-turned-business.

It was a labor of love and my first experience wearing three hats (film/edit/grade).

Enjoy!

This is an absolutely brilliant piece and well worth the read - "'I think the visual lexicon of open-source investigation is something that the Israelis have co-opted as a way to try to delegitimize [those investigations] and confuse,' said Elizabeth Breiner..."

I joke because haha vibe work AND the history of labor automation being applied to justify paying the workers subject to it less/treating them poorly is clear and consistent and not up for debate. So I'm also serious.

Super fun and immediately installed. Always love a good PWA game 🌐

(I still play Proxx @jakearchibald.com and @surma.dev and even got my 7 year old into it!)

Aaaand my #BCON25 #b3d talk is already online!
It was (and is) an amazing experience.

Thank you so much @blender.org OTOY Render-Nnetwork and of course the amazing audience for having me 🥰

Hopefully you can take something away from it 🧑‍🎓

I'm really looking forward to seeing One Battle After Another, so I'm hoping that's the former 😅

It’s official: the United Nations Commission of Inquiry concludes Israel is committing genocide.

The UN body calls on nations to stop sending weapons to Israel, ensure people within their jurisdiction aren’t aiding or inciting the genocide, and hold those who are accountable.

Mapping destruction in Gaza | Datawrapper Blog Understanding Gaza’s urban damage through satellite data and mapping.

This week, our co-founder Gregor helps us make sense, or at least get a clearer picture, of the scale of destruction in the streets of Gaza. 🗺️

Film Workers Pledge to end Complicity Additional Languages: Español | Türkçe | Français | عربي | 日本語 As filmmakers, actors, film industry workers, and institutions, we recognize the power of cinema to shape perceptions. In this urgent moment of crisis, where many of our governments are enabling the carnage in Gaza, we must do everything we can to address complicity in that unrelenting horror. The world’s highest court, the International Court of Justice, has ruled that there is a plausible risk of genocide in Gaza, and that Israel’s occupation and apartheid against Palestinians are unlawful. Standing for equality, justice, and freedom for all people is a profound moral duty that none of us can ignore. So too, we must speak out now against the harm done to the Palestinian people. We answer the call of Palestinian filmmakers, who have urged the international film industry to refuse silence, racism, and dehumanization, as well as to 'do everything humanly possible' to end complicity in their oppression. Inspired by Filmmakers United Against Apartheid who refused to screen their films in apartheid South Africa, we pledge not to screen films, appear at or otherwise work with Israeli film institutions—including festivals, cinemas, broadcasters and production companies—that are implicated* in genocide and apartheid against the Palestinian people.

1800+ film workers are boycotting Israeli film institutions implicated in the genocide & apartheid of Palestinians.

Svelte's easing fns re-applied to control erosion of gravitational strength over distance in threlte 🚀

Add static gravity sources (suns?) or dynamic bodes (comets?) with their own ~random gravity.

Try it out: stackblitz.com/edit/n-body-...

Screenshot of a simulated orbital path tracked around a central star where gravity is based on an elastic easing function. Consequently the orbit line wobbles in a strange splat or flower like shape.

What an awesome site!

This sent me down a rabbit hole to update a threejs project from two years ago. I'm repurposing easing functions to determine gravity strength over distance with some fun results.

Here is @svelte.dev elasticIn example where you can see the elastic wobble in orbit.

Vibe Coding: Four Security Nightmares in a Trenchcoat (with Susanna Cox), 2025.07.21

Been having similar experiences. On a related note, this episode of "Mystery AI Hype Theater 3000" about vibe coding is great (covers more than just security). Definitely worth a listen:

Looks like svelte-flow is the way to go these days. Might need to take another look at this in the near future...

Thanks! It's a fun little side project and gave me an excuse to get my hands dirty with Svelte runes.

I really wanted to make it feel more like a node-based editor (like svelvet) but just didn't have the time.

The click-based linking UX is clunky but it'll do for now.

Screenshot of three enrichment calculators showing the SWU required to enrich uranium in three steps: first, 1000kg of natural 0.7% feed material used to enrich 120kg up to 5%, linked to the second calculator enriching 26kg up to 20%, linked to the third calculator enriching 5.6kg up to 90% (all with 0.2% tails)

lastly, here is a calculator setup where the product from each clac is linked to the feed in the next. Pretty cool to see how much small tweaks can change the ratios!

A chart showing the SWU required to enrich one tonne of natural uranium feed up to 120-130 kg of uranium for power reactor fuel, as 26 kg of typical research reactor fuel, or conceivably as 5.6 kg of weapon-grade material.

Attached here is the WNA graph that shows "how one tonne of natural uranium feed might end up: as 120-130 kg of uranium for power reactor fuel, as 26 kg of typical research reactor fuel, or conceivably as 5.6 kg of weapon-grade material."

Enrichment Calculator Create, refine, and connect dynamic gas-centrifuge enrichment calculators.

updated the app to include a standalone SWU calculator after seeing this graphic from @worldnuclear.bsky.social (thank you to @aminal.bsky.social for sharing)

Also updated rounding logic for more precision and added WNA to the resources page 🧵⤵️
