Hilarious!
I was just blocked for pointing out the difference between Arabic and Persian writing systems. 💪

I am though 😜

NEW: An Iranian outlet has published this picture of a ballistic missile.
The writing on the front reads: "In memory of the victims of Epstein Island".

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 ‘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!

I read the article in the NYT and it says there is no polling data available for the start of the Vietnam war.
a chart showing that. There's almost no impact on productivity for firms, the vast majority showing either no impact or a very, very small impact, less than 5%,

WORD FACT
“Scamper” ultimately comes from Latin “ex campo” — literally, “leave the field (of battle, for instance)”. “Campo” as “field” also gives us the modern English word “campus”.
So, we could say that to scamper is to “leave campus”.
Horrific.

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.
This is what Israel has wrought in Tehran.
Will be useful in the trials.
