Scientific Shot of a Peacock mantis shrimp eyes which are the most advanced in the animal world. Photo by Daniel Sasse.
the mantis shrimp has 16 types of color receptors.
humans have 3.
we see roughly 10 million colors and think that's impressive.
the mantis shrimp is sitting there processing a visual reality so hyperchromatic that scientists genuinely aren't sure what it's like to be one.

How much more evidence do we need? The ultra-rich and the governments supporting them will destroy everything for the sake of profit, power and pride. Nothing is precious to them - not human life, not the living world - except their own wealth and status. Our survival depends on resisting them.

Tareq Baconiโs Search for Liberation
โFire in Every Directionโ recounts the uneasy coming of age of a queer scholar in the Palestinian diaspora.
โThe feeling of not belonging that came to permeate my days. The conviction that one must remain hidden to live. Masked, covered. The inner bifurcation, the double consciousness. The exile of the authentic self.โ

On Bloody Sunday, John Lewis and the giants of the civil rights movement crossed the Edmund Pettus Bridge in Selma to peacefully demand voting rights.
61 years later, we march in their footsteps to honor their legacy and celebrate the power of continuing the fight.

Years later, I made friends with the man who diffused the tension by confirming for the Americans that the missiles had been moved. Paul Henderson Scott was a British Diplomat then, becoming a leading Scottish intellectual, independentista, & member of the CPG on Scots in the parliament.

Lead extended by 7 points at the top.
4 of our next 5 games are at home. The only away game being City during the period.
City have to go away 3 times during that period.
Time to push ahead and kill the league off.

JD Vance didnโt make it to the White House on his own.
His political career was bought and paid for by Peter Thiel.
Make no mistake: having Vance as president would mean putting Thielโs extremist agenda directly in power

Trump: "Spain said we can't use their bases. We could use their bases if we want. We could just fly in and use it. Nobody is gonna tell us not to use it"

Just a random reminder that over 50 members of Congress collectively own millions of dollars in defense contractor stocks.
They stand to personally profit from wars that enrich these contractors.
Make no mistake, this is legalized corruption.
Watch how they vote this week.

Our initial analysis is up.
The video footage appears to show that the gun was taken away from the man before he was shot.
He was UNARMED before any of the shots were fired.
