If you "support the community" by frequently positioning yourself on the center stage in the spotlight while the community are your "guests" or "participants", you're not the good person you think you are.

Captain Haddock looking very frazzled, saying, “What a week, huh?”
Tintin leans into the frame and says, “Captain, it’s Wednesday.”
Snowy aka Milou is very excited about the drink he has found.

Viñeta de Tintin
El capitán Haddock, sentado a una mesa y con aspecto de estar agotado, dice: "¡Menuda semana, ¿eh?".
Tintín, a su derecha, le dice: "Capitán, es miércoles".
A la izquierda, Milú mira muy contento la bebida que está en la mesa.

Your regular reminder: If the Russians stop fighting, the war ends. If the Ukrainians stop fighting, their land will be occupied, their leaders will be killed, their history and language will be erased, their children will be kidnapped to serve Russia.

This makes sense. RFK has only managed to kill three people using Measles in Pennsylvania so far in 2026 (but the year is not over yet). I’m sure that is disappointing. The administration needs to pick up their pace if they want to kill us before AI does!

'No arrests made'. They have been completely emboldened. And we know how this works: they will do it again. In greater numbers. A catastrophic and far-reaching failure of policing.

Damn ... how far Bilbo and Frodo actually walked (If the Shire is Kansas, Mordor is Jacksonville) (by reddit user fussomoro) bit.ly/BilboFrodo
A weathered fantasy map of Middle Earth from The Lord of the Rings, showing two different journey routes marked in contrasting colors. The red line shows Frodo and Sam's path from the Shire to Mordor, while the blue line shows Bilbo's earlier journey as depicted in The Hobbit. The map includes familiar locations like the Shire, Rohan, and Mordor, with mountains and forests illustrated in a classic Tolkien-style cartography. The map appears aged with sepia tones and includes text labels in stylized fantasy font. A compass rose and scale bar are visible in the lower left corner, and the title reads "The Map of Middle Earth.

The image is of a four panel comic.
The title is “Cats living together”.
The first panel shows a black cat and orange cat cuddling with their eyes closed. The orange cat says “I love you”. The black cat says “I love you too”.
The second panel zooms in on them. 
The third panel shows the orange cat opening its eyes.
The fourth panel shows the orange cat raising its paw to punch the black cat. It says, “Actually you know what”.

Pollution levels in Paris after they introduced bike lanes and car restrictions Red = EU limits for Nitrogen Dioxide pollution Original graphics by Atelier Parisien d'Urbanisme www.apur.org
A series of six heatmap-style graphics showing changes in pollution levels across Paris over time, with each square map labeled by year: 2007, 2010, 2015, 2017, 2020, and 2024. The earlier maps in 2007 and 2010 are dominated by dense red and orange colors concentrated in the city center, with landmarks like the Eiffel Tower and Notre-Dame labeled, indicating heavy pollution. Over the years the intensity of red areas fades, especially in 2015 and 2017 where the pollution begins to spread less densely, and by 2020 the colors shift more toward yellow and green, showing significant reductions in pollution. The 2024 map is the cleanest, with the majority of the area in yellow and green tones and only major road arteries showing thin red lines, demonstrating far less air pollution. Each map includes a “2 miles” scale marker, and the visual progression highlights how bike lanes and car restrictions introduced in Paris contributed to decreasing air pollution levels throughout the city.

The world divided into two equal parts (by @WorldInMaps)
A world map with countries shaded in two colours to represent global population split evenly into two halves of four billion people each. A small group of countries in Asia is shaded pale yellow, including China, India, Bangladesh, Indonesia, Pakistan, and a few others, representing half the world's population. The rest of the world, shaded in reddish-orange, contains the other four billion people, spanning all of the Americas, Europe, Africa, Australia, and most of the rest of Asia. The contrast highlights how densely populated South and East Asia are compared to the rest of the world.

There are two parts of the discussion that feel like rarely get connected: * Nobody should be executed on the streets by ICE * It is a relevant detail/pattern when people are harmed who are “bystanders”/ not the target — it shows that people are at risk simply for the color of their skin
