Editorial | In Jalud, the IDF does not turn a blind eye; it actively emboldens settler havoc
The fact that the IDF needed a Supreme Court order to secure the Tubasi family's return to their home, after settlers seized it in plain sight, shows just how inept and beholden to settler whims the a...

Turns out that if you are an old lady with a banner supporting Palestine, the government arrests you on charges of terrorism. If you are a masked white male thug bringing a national port to a standstill, the government does absolutely nothing, and the media covers it like some lads on a day out.

This week we celebrated the transfer of three buildings that had suffered from years of disinvestment, away from their neglectful owners. We will continue to address New York City's housing crisis with the scale and urgency New Yorkers deserve.

Google Gauss's Theorema Egregium (1827). SOMETHING, between area and shape, has to be distorted somewhere in a map. However I approve the informativeness of the new map, because not many people realise the distortions inherent in the Mercator Projection (which however preserves shape).

We’re going to hear about how everyone loved Dolly, and that feels true. But it’s good to remember, and to her credit, that she was attacked for her AIDS activism, her vaccine advocacy, her LGBTQ+ support and even, more recently, for her reading initiatives. She ALWAYS stood firm when it mattered.

My Father took my Brother and I to a live country show back in the late 60's. It was Porter Wagoner and his travelin' show at Kalamazoo Central. My Brother and I hated Wagner and Dad said "We're not here to see Him. Wait til' you see the girl he has traveling with him now." And out walked Dolly. 🥹

Do not normalize children dying from measles. Measles was previously eliminated in the US, thanks to vaccines. When children die from measles, it means that adults have catastrophically failed to protect them because they have rejected basic science.

Fun fact: Dolly Parton spent decades quietly funding band uniforms and instruments at Black high schools across the South - never once putting her name on it. No headlines, no fanfare — just help, given because it was needed. Wonderful Heart ♥️ RIP Dolly ❤️

Dolly Parton did all the good she could, for all the people she could, for as long as ever she could. From her legendary songwriting to the Imagination Library—which sent 1 million books a month to children across the country—she was the best of America. Dolly, we'll miss your great heart.

BSky reaction to the Jason Arday story puzzling to me. Yes, it's absolutely driven by the worst online racists. But the evidence of plagiarism is pretty clear, and the doctoral thesis is really ropey. That matters. What am I missing?
