My mom had polio when she was five. She was living on a US military base in Japan (1947). Four kids on the base died. She was the only survivor.

This is who was on that Gitmo flight I tracked 12 days ago — a guy who did everything right to overcome the circumstances of his birth.

Looks like we're using Gitmo to imprison immigrants again. This is an ICE charter airline owned by ICE's flight broker using the callsign they use for all their ICE flights. 1/2

Actually the AfDs main backers are the Heritage Foundation and the Austrian Nazi FPÖ party who have been planning this for over 20 years. They were also behind Brexit and the entire Far Right surge in Europe which was designed to tear the EU apart

Any mapping is necessarily a kind of flattening, distortions happen, information lost. "Not even the most expansive mapping can convey everything" or, to quote Alfred Korzybski, "the map is not the territory"

excerpt from a page in Unflattening - upper part shows the globe encircled (like the Daily Planet) with the letters Circumnavigation. this casts a shadow on a flat map - the mercator project of the globe. Discussion of the distortions that happen when you go from 3 dimensions to two - information lost and connections severed. Below this is a similar arrangement, an icosahedron instead of a globe, and then a map made by unfolding that icosahedron. This is Buckminster Fuller's dymaxion map. It preserves area in ways the mercator could not, and it also shows connections where the mercator showed divisions. That said, it's not super clear for how you travel across the globe...

One thing I wish people would realize is just how central JK Rowling is to the entire anti-trans ecosystem. Looking at a network node analysis of the top 200 anti-trans X accounts, she is the most central figure spanning both sides of the Atlantic from Republicans to Labour.

A network graph visualization on a dark background showing connections between various accounts. The central, highly connected node is labeled "J.K. Rowling," with lines radiating out to many other nodes color-coded by region (UK, US, etc.). A detail panel on the right displays stats for her account, including her role as "Author & commentator," an in-degree of 153, an out-degree of 84, and 14 million followers.

A scatter plot graph on a dark background comparing accounts based on "followers (log)" on the x-axis and "in-degree" on the y-axis. The data points are color-coded by region. J.K. Rowling is highlighted as a major outlier in the top right corner, possessing the highest number of followers and the highest in-degree. Other labeled points lower on the graph include various politicians, individuals, and campaign organizations.

I'll summarize this: Mamdani asked NYers to keep air conditioning at 78 degrees. A wave criticism hit online. A MSNBC broadcast pointed out the US Department of Energy recommends that 78 degree figure. Immediately after, the US Department of Energy deleted 6,000 web pages related to energy saving.

some amazing things happening over on threads — ever since they “shut down CERN”

CERN has to be real. Why do the days magically feel longer again? I keep looking at the clock in disbelief.

Honestly... I can feel the immediate difference with CERN turning off. It's like turning off the annoying big light in the house that's been on for last 4 years. It's like finally getting some quiet after being immersed in a screaming heavy death metal concert or rave for days and days. It's like there's no restrictions. No hindrances. No more delays. I feel free.

They turned off CERN and now the days feel twice as long. I'm TIRED

Call me crazy, whatever ya whatever you want but since CERN shut down their machine time IS slower (i saw somewhere that our minutes are actually 60 seconds long again after being 45 seconds since COVID, ive had a mild frontal headache for 2 days and just had this weird energy around me. I can't be the only one, right?!

Two historic heatwaves in two consecutive months, with monthly records broken in both, something not achieved since 1911 and not something achieved by such a margin either. May's record was broken by over 2ºC, and June's record is likely to go by perhaps 3ºC, extraordinary.

In a charming introductory scene, Woman of Tomorrow takes Supergirl from her usual position of pristine virtue to a far messier place (physically and emotionally). In doing so, it sets the stage for what might be the most poignant exploration of Kara’s character in the history of comics. 1/12

These plants also harvest dew, which condenses out of moist air. Edges and hairs make especially good foci for condensation as they radiate heat & cool faster. This species is from Namaqualand, in southern Africa. 📷: Dipcadi crispum Karel du Toit CCBYNC4 #Asparagaceae #fog #Botany 🌾🧪🌱
