The Facial Expressions of Tethys by artist Julius von Bismarck. A suspended high-sea buoy that moves in real time. Sensors on a twin buoy out in the Atlantic Ocean send live satellite data to motors inside the museum. This makes the indoor buoy copy the exact, real-time movements of the ocean waves.

If Biden or Obama had started a war that led to attacks like these on American bases—and then covered it up for months—the political backlash would eclipse Benghazi. One service member: "We're not defending these bases. We're just watching them get destroyed." www.cbsnews.com/news/new-pho...

Pleased as punch to have seen Bear McCreary (composer of the soundtracks to your favorite TV shows) perform last night in Portland. The show was a mix of his personal works from The Singularity: Ekleipsis and stuff from his soundtrack canon. He even played his cover of All Along the Watchtower!

Surprising fact: We are actually NOT seeing more food recalls this year compared with recent years. What we’re seeing is an increase in the number of illnesses caused by contaminated food. This is the largest ever cyclospora outbreak & third-largest foodborne illness outbreak of any kind on record.

Number of food recalls by year
There have been 162 food recalls posted this year by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration and the Department of Agriculture.

Chart shows yearly food recall numbers from 2017 to 2026.

Admirable clarity @science.org

The Trump administration hates academic science funding, full stop. They hate where that money goes, and they hate who it goes to. They want to keep all that money for themselves, to hand out to favored cronies who can help them get elected and to steer yet more money and more power back into their hands.

That’s it. That’s the story

It’s clear from the piece that the author just disagrees with higher taxes on the wealthy and a more generous social safety net. As usual, the electoral argument is a lie. If these people really cared about electing Dems they would be emphasizing how moderate and mainstream the DSA politicians are

The last lights of a dying mall. I’ve been saying good-bye to Lloyd Center for a few years, but, this looks like this time around will finally be the last call. 📸: Portland, Oregon

A black and white photo of two ice skaters on the rink at Lloyd Center. The evening light casts a shadow from the skylights onto the ice surface.
