The thing is there’s clusters of people from Gaza that use this site- so like I know several large families/ neighborhoods/ friend groups. I’d say maybe only one in every 5 or so people I share have no other connections on Bluesky.

Jazz OTD: The sextet that recorded most of "Kind of Blue" -- Miles Davis, Cannonball Adderley, John Coltrane, Bill Evans, Paul Chambers, and Jimmy Cobb -- recorded together for the first time on May 26, 1958, with the tracks later appearing on the "1958 Miles." Just perfect, obviously. #jazzsky

Read the transcript of the brilliant ⁦‪⁦‪Mishal Husain’s‬⁩ interview with Elon Musk & see just how annoyed he gets at very simple & basic questions & how he childishly lashes out, & also ask yourself why US media interviewers can’t do interviews like this.

FYI to media outlets, you're misleading your readers if you repeat this at face value. There's no lawful way for him to redirect these grants elsewhere. It's a lie to distract from how the GOP budget guts educational funding, including Pell Grants at trade schools.

I knew this story about the white South African refugees reminded me of something. In 1989 Rep. Major Owens (D-NY) introduced a bill that would have allowed conscripted white South Africans who refused military service on behalf of Apartheid to seek asylum in the US. It didn't pass, though.
