Oman, a plan, a canal.
🏆🥇💍 See you there!
We were in such an airy elevation above the creeping populations of the earth, that now and then when the obstructing crags stood out of the way it seemed that we could look around and abroad and contemplate the whole great globe, with its dissolving views of mountains, seas and continents stretching away through the mystery of the summer haze.
Great write-up. As Mark Twain wrote in Roughing It (1872).
Macro photo of a brown stink bug in face view on a leaf, guarding a tightly-clustered bunch of eggs that are shaped and colored exactly like a full tray of dark beer with foam on top.
Finally, the bug is back with a round of the Guinness.
We have until March 6 to comment on whether there should be one million more satellites in orbit or thousands of mirrors that reflect light back at Earth Jesus Fucking H Christ on a Pogostick
The coldest Feb 18th ever recorded in Oakland.
On Nov. 16, a mental health counselor recorded in Kamilla’s medical records that her mother reported the girl had lost her appetite after being “served food that contained worms.” A week later, the couple said, children were told to gather in the gym for what they believed would be a Thanksgiving celebration. Excitement spread as families saw tables set with turkey, sandwiches, pastries and pies, they said. The children waited expectantly. But when a parent asked when the celebration would begin, Oksana said, staff told them the holiday meal was for employees, not detainees. The children, she said, watched despondently as the feast was packed away.
On Thanksgiving, the immigrant children held at the Dilley detention center gathered in the gym for what they thought was a holiday feast.
The kids salivated over a spread of turkey, sandwiches, pastries and pies, a family told me.
But the food wasn’t for detainees — it was for the staff.
Another memorable ruling out of West Virginia, where Judge Goodwin — a Clinton appointee — excoriates the treatment of ICE detainees.
"This is not what civil enforcement looks like in a humane system of government under law."

Protesters gathered near the Grand Lake Theatre to demonstrate against President Trump prior to the private screening of GOAT, a film produced by Golden State Warriors star guard Steph Curry on Tuesday in Oakland.

U.K. might lose a prime minister because a guy who worked for him knew another guy who hung out with Epstein. Meanwhile the U.S. opposition party is telling our President, who was Epstein's best friend, that his secret police should get better training so their public street murders look less messy.
This entire thread is genuinely fucking incredible and the whole time I could hear the Disco Elysium dice roll sound effect while Electrochemistry told me that surely I should let the cocaine explain
Canal-boat rentals in Europe. They’re not super expensive and you can learn all the necessary skills in like 30 minutes. Putt through the beautiful countryside at 4 mph and stop for pub meals at lovely villages. Need a minimum of two people to work the locks and better with 3-4.
How many words for “this leaf is sort of hairy” do we need, really?

This is a notebook in the Epstein files. It looks like it is written by a pregnant girl. This text looks like it says "help me!"

ICE has been holding a disabled Black man for a year!
Rodney Taylor is a double amputee who was days away from receiving new prosthetic legs when ICE took him.
He’s been denied his prosthetics & placed in solitary.
His health is declining.
Public outrage might save his life.
Say his name:
Good GOD.

I went to a Wikipedia 25th birthday party yesterday. I helped an old man cite an article he'd published decades ago; for years he'd dreamed of seeing it on Wikipedia but he didn't know how to start! I reassured people that they wouldn't be judged for contributing wrong. They wouldn't break anything.
7 kişi adamı yatırmış tekme tokat dövüyor. Bir tanesi gelip dövülen adamın belindeki silahı alıp uzaklaştırıyor. Sonra iki agent toplam 10 el ateş ediyor (5'i adam hareketsiz yatarken).
Ajanların savunması "Önce Papa ateş etti" kıvamında.

Since July, I've tracked at least 2,300 cases in which federal judges have ruled ICE has illegally detained people without bond or due process.
This is one that stands out:

I cannot imagine the devastation this family is experiencing today. This statement is powerful and must be read.
"Fundamentally, the terror was random. That is, in fact, how state terror works.
The randomness is the difference between a regime based on terror and a regime that is plainly repressive."
