The alt text is wrong. The writing is in Persian, the language of Iran.

US Rep. Raja Krishnamoorthi raises millions for Illinois Senate bid as fundraising draws scrutiny U.S. Rep. Raja Krishnamoorthi’s prowess at raising campaign cash not only gave him an early, dominant presence in the Senate race but also has made him one of Washington’s most prodigious fundraise…

Deep dive on Raja Krishnamoorthi, including a bit on his far-right ties with Hindu supremacist groups.

In today’s America, we are all seeing the horrors of giving a pass to those with far-right ties. Don’t make that mistake with him.

Very taken with Chiharu Shiota’s β€˜Threads of Life’ exhibition at the Hayward Gallery, Southbank with its huge immersive installations featuring everyday objects like keys & chairs. Particularly haunting was her During Sleep exhibit which recalled her transient existence when she moved to Berlin

Wow, I just found out my drawing "Destruction of Troy" is nominated for an artwork award by BSFA.

But @bsfa.bsky.social I hope you know, I finished that drawing in I think 2016, 10 years ago! Are you sure it's eligible?

Anyway, if it is eligible (but I doubt it is?), this is the artwork, thanks!

Yes I think they have data from deeper into the conflict but maybe there wasn’t such a clear beginning?

WORD FACT

β€œScamper” ultimately comes from Latin β€œex campo” β€” literally, β€œleave the field (of battle, for instance)”. β€œCampo” as β€œfield” also gives us the modern English word β€œcampus”.

So, we could say that to scamper is to β€œleave campus”.

Very intense bombing in Tehran and Karaj, a city of about 4mil immediately to the west of Tehran. Several electrical plants were hit and went offline. Widespread electric outage in most of Tehran. Eye-witnesses report explosions never seen before.
