ICE builds more prisons because the goal is explicitly to warehouse surplus labor, criminalize poverty, and assert total control over all of society. When Stephen Miller claims there are 25, 30, or even 50 million "illegal immigrants" in the US, he's betting on how many of us he'll need to imprison

Admiral Zumwalt was a superhero for a generation of sailors on the strength of policies that amounted to "Just be less shitty to everyone below E-7, you fuckfaces." The bar is low and "leaders" keep running into it dick first.

🧵Spotted on a Rainy Market Day in Aotearoa New Zealand: A small human (3?) is clutching a wheel of camembert cheese to her chest and wearing a big watery frown. Dad asks what's wrong and she bellows with utmost distress: "MY CHEESE IS SAD!" Dad trying to commiserate in between belly chuckles.

What secrets linger beside a Venetian canal? “The Gilded Hour,” my 36 × 24-inch painting, invites you into a world of sapphire waters, luminous gold and quiet companionship. Four women share a moment suspended in beauty, while Venice shimmers beyond them. A little escape you can return to every day.

I've heard people make claims that AI would lead to a new Renaissance, but I didn't imagine it'd happen like this:
Screenshot of a Tweet from Pope Leo XIV. It reads: 

"In this era of artificial intelligence, it is becoming urgen to distinguish human art from what machines produce. There is an ontological difference, even before an aesthetic one, between art and what a machine can generate through statistical calculation based on millions of images created by others. Algorithms lack the spark of humanity. For this reason, the Church wishes to renew an alliance with artists and cultural institutions to safeguard our humanity."

Reuters: Trump's claim that he has dropped drug prices 600% has imploded to the point it appears only four drug companies will be affected by the Medicare rule. Trump initially claimed it would save $11.7 Billion; now the claimed savings is down to "about $440 million", but no documentation of it.

Dr. Esther Boise Van Deman was the first female Roman field archaeologist. In 1907, she revolutionized the field by realizing changing brick & ancient concrete styles could date ruins. Her framework remains the standard for dating Roman monuments today.️ She was born #OTD in 1862. #WomenInSTEM
A formal sepia-toned studio portrait of Dr. Esther Boise Van Deman (1862–1937), the first woman to specialize in Roman field archaeology and the first woman to receive a Ph.D. in Latin from the University of Chicago. Dr. Van Deman is seated, facing forward with her body turned slightly to the left. She gazes directly at the camera with a calm, intelligent, and subtly pleasant expression. Her graying hair is swept upward and meticulously styled into a soft, rolled pompadour bun pinned at the top of her head. She wears an elegant, dark, patterned brocade or jacquard jacket over a lighter silk blouse. The neckline and front cuffs of the outfit are heavily adorned with intricate, wide white lace trimming that adds a formal, dignified texture to her attire. Her right arm curves gently across her lap, showing a hint of lace at the wrist. The lighting is soft and directional, illuminating the side of her face and chest while casting the background into a deep, warm, dark vignette. The composition is balanced and classic, projecting a mood of scholarly authority, refinement, and historic achievement befitting a trailblazer in scientific archaeology.

I had a Maintenence Master Chief tell me: "Don't have standards. Have /a/ standard." The plural means you're willing to adjust depending on the situation. The singular means you have a moral compass heading that does not waver or deviate. If you're willing to protect one, then protect all.
