Antifascism looks like Pedro Pascal. It looks like Alex Pretti and AOC. It looks like 600 priests, imams, and rabbis in the cold streets of winter Minneapolis. Antifascism is gorgeous.

My #wildflower garden is baking in the UK heat, but these four flowers are thriving, and attracting loads of pollinators. There's Scabiosa columbaria Small scabious, Oxeye daisy Leucanthemum vulgare, Common Knapweed Centaura nigra and Evening primrose Oenothera biennis. (My #Botanicalillustrations)
#Botanicalillustration of #Scabiosacolumbaria, the Small #scabious.

The illustration is cut to white and shows the whole plant, including where it roots at nodes along the horizontal stem.  The inflorescence is a mass or pale blue flowers held on a long stem.  There's a close up on one of the flowers showing the splayed pointy calyx teeth and emergent stamens and styles.  The leaves are pinnate and thin higher up the plant, at the base they become far broader, and have wider lobes.Cut to white #sciart #botanicalart #illustration of the #Oxeye #daisy #Leucanthemum vulgare, in watercolour.  There's one central daisy with individual disc florets at the yellow centre of the flower.  Surrounding it is a ring of white ray florets.  The stem in ridged and leaves are mildly toothed, spathulate, and alternate down the stem.  There is a close up of an individual ray and an individual disc floret on the left bottom corner.#Botany cut to white #naturalscienceillustration of the Common or Black #Knapweed #Centaura nigra.  The illustration shows three flowering heads, tufts of purple emerging from the scale-like rounded capitulum bases.  Leaves are a soft green with a much paler stem.  Lower leaves clasp the stem and have lobes.  Upper leaves are simpler, smaller, and entire.  Undersides of the leaves are a much paler green than the top side.  Botanical illustration in watercolour, cut to white, of the #Eveningprimrose #Oenothera biennis with stem detail showing the tiny glands and hairs.

It's a big leafy plant with large floppy leaves and yellow flowers.  This image shows the main stem with dour flowers out and several buds yet to bloom.

According to Brian Stelter, 60 Minutes is finally airing the "Inside CECOT" story that Bari Weiss shelved. She made Sharyn Alfonsi fly to DC to get an interview with Tom Homan and Kristi Noem for the segment, but both refused. So it'll run tonight -- with no promotion and against the NFL playoffs.

I'm sorry. As a technology writer, I'm supposed to be telling you that this bet will some day pay off, because one day we will have shoveled so many words into the word-guessing program that it wakes up and learns how to actually do the jobs it is failing spectacularly at today. This is a proposition akin to the idea that if we keep breeding horses to run faster and faster, one of them will give birth to a locomotive. Humans possess intelligence, and machines do not. The difference between a human and a word-guessing program isn't how many words the human knows.

I'm sorry. I know that when we talk about "digital sovereignty," we're obliged to talk about how we can build more data-centres that we can fill up with money-losing chips from American silicon monopolists in the hopes of destroying as many jobs as possible while blowing through our clean energy goals and enshittifying as much of our potable water as possible.

The WSJ on how unbelievably stupid Noem and Lewandowski are. I don’t care that I’m late to this; it’s to good to pass up. www.wsj.com/politics/pol...
More broadly, officials across ICE say Noem and Lewandowski have directed them to use a $170
billion infusion of cash from Congress to launch splashy ideas that have proven ineffective or impractical.
Among the examples some ICE officials have cited: A few weeks ago, the pair ordered ICE officials to buy 10 737 jets from Spirit Airlines that they said would be used to boost deportation flights— and for their own travel, according to people familiar with the matter.
Some officials warned the pair that the effort would be prohibitively expensive compared with hiring more flight contractors, the people said.Once the officials looked into the proposal, they learned that Spirit, which filed for bankruptcy for a second time in August, didn't own the planes. The planes also don't have engines, which would need to be purchased separately.
The project has since been put on pause, though DHS recently purchased two Gulfstream jets for $200 million, according to Democrats on the House Appropriations Committee, who were notified by the department.
A spokesperson for Spirit didn't respond to a request for comment.

The “canonical” story how Rosalind Franklin got wronged by Watson and Crick inadvertently makes her look far less scientifically competent than she was (“She did not realize the significance of her own data!”). This article offers a much more nuanced account of what happened.

What Rosalind Franklin truly contributed to the discovery of DNA’s structure
Franklin was no victim in how the DNA double helix was solved. An overlooked letter and an unpublished news article, both written in 1953, reveal that she was an equal player.
