If consumers were the ones shouldering the cost of tariffs, why are businesses the ones being refunded? www.bbc.com/news/article...

Trump tariff refunds begin but consumers likely to miss out
Businesses can apply online through a portal for refunds expected to total $160bn.

Danish seismologist Inge Lehmann fundamentally changed our understanding of the Earth's interior by discovering its solid inner core in 1936. Often referred to as 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘮𝘢𝘴𝘵𝘦𝘳 𝘰𝘧 𝘢 𝘣𝘭𝘢𝘤𝘬 𝘢𝘳𝘵 due to her incredible ability to interpret complex seismic records by hand. She died #OTD in 1993 #WomenInSTEM
A vintage sepia-toned portrait photograph of Danish seismologist Inge Lehmann taken in 1932, at around age 44. She is posed formally against a softly draped curtain backdrop, gazing directly at the camera with a calm, intelligent, and composed expression. She has short, neatly waved dark hair and wears a simple, elegant dark blouse or dress with a light-colored V-neck insert or scarf tied loosely. The photographer's signature, "Nachtwey 1932," appears in the lower right corner in a flowing script. The image captures her poised and thoughtful demeanor during the early years of her groundbreaking career in seismology, before her landmark discovery of Earth's solid inner core in 1936. #seismology

I don’t think this is a good idea. If you have an international tourist from let’s say France, who wants to see their selection compete, how many flights and hotels will they be reserving cross-county to see the games? Not to mention 🧊 abc7.com/post/la28-un...

If you're in central Texas & you have room to house a shelter dog in a spare room Friday - Mon/Tues, area shelters would love your help getting dogs out of outdoor kennels and into homes for a brief break. You don't have to do a lot with them, just let them decompress while we wait out the weather.

Photo by Pierre Lavie. Yes this is me. And I threw my Leica. It landed on the bass plate with hardly a scratch. Another Photographer grabbed it along with my phone and I was able to track him later. I was held face down tear gas deployed right in front of me and pepper sprayed directly into the eye.

For the love of books, please don't put clear sleeves on your books' dust jackets without wiping off the dust and the sticker residue 😩 Wipe the book gently with 70% rubbing alcohol if the cover is glossy, or dust thoroughly if it has a papery finish. Otherwise you're basically begging for foxing.

This is the President explicitly threatening to withhold federal funds from New York City if voters elect a candidate he opposes. This is an unlawful attempt to coerce voters through federal financial threats and a textbook example of voter intimidation to influence the outcome of a local election.

Two Americans—Melissa Hortman and Charlie Kirk—were assassinated. The nation is crying out for empathy, unity, and leadership. But Trump doesn’t care. He’s not leading—instead, he’s weaponizing the DOJ to silence anyone who opposes him. It’s vile, it’s cowardly, and it’s dangerous.
