On May 31, 1879, Werner von Siemens unveiled the first electric locomotive in Berlin. This innovation sparked a revolution in rail transport, paving the way for electric trams and trains that would reshape cities and modern mobility. #StayCurious #Skystorians #DiveIntoDiscovery

The US government has collected DNA samples from 133,000+ migrant children and teenagers and uploaded them into a national criminal database originally built for convicted sex offenders and violent criminals, according to documents reviewed by WIRED.

Condemn all forms of Antisemitism, hate, bigotry Your periodic reminder that Antisemitism incidents in the USA (as compiled by ADL) started a steep rise (doubled) after 2015 (doubled from 2015 to 2017) largely due to rise of neo-Nazi and white supremacists... then rose again after the war in Gaza

Ukraine drone strikes hit nuclear bombers deep inside Russia

Yet again

Every single semi truck, van or large vehicle on Russia’s roads just became a potential FPV launch platform and massive headache for Russia’s security services.

🔥Even more amazing footages of the FPV drone attack on the Russian air base in Olenegorsk, Murmansk region, and Belaya Irkutsk region, dropped.

‼️Unique footage and details of the preparation of the operation to destroy Russian air bases published by the SBU! Drones were hidden in the roofs of camouflaged cargo containers.

🚛💥This is how the attack on the Russian military airfield in Belaya, Irkutsk region, 4400 km from the front, took place. One after another, FPV drones flew out from a cargo truck parked not far from the airbase. After the end of the mission the cargo container self-destructed.

‼️The first official published footage of the work of the new Ukrainian units operating Anti-Shahed Interceptor Drones! As said, Kyiv is now protected by 10 such Anti-Drone teams. It’s also claimed that in total 200 Russian drones were downed during 60 days of the units existence.

sneaking houses with FPV drone filled roofs into Russia is pretty wild www.twz.com/news-feature...

I wonder how many airforces will learn from todays events that hardened aircraft shelters or at least proper close hangars are well worth the cost for parking your extremely expensive (and hard/impossible to replace) military aircraft...

Something some of us have been banging on about for years now. HAS construction/renovation is a must for NATO air forces in Europe to mitigate (not eliminate) short range massed UAS attacks like Ukraine just carried out in stunning fashion against the VKS LRA force.

If Joe Biden posted something like this Hannity would be roused from his sleep to anchor special coverage. But Trump posts apeshit conspiracy theories and the mainstream press yawns. His craziness has been completely normalized.

Last year, Illinois abolished requiring prior authorization for inpatient mental health care — and now, we're extending it to outpatient care. Patients and their doctors should be in control of decisions about their care, not insurance companies.

I don't always think about how thankful I am to have escaped Texas and teaching at a school in Texas, but I have been thinking of it often. I took a significant paycut to leave (exchange rates being what they were), and I will always be glad I did.

If you’re zip-tying children and you’re not questioning your life choices, you’re a goddamn psychopath.

"At least three children were taken into custody and zip-tied at the San Antonio Immigration Court"

I’ve been focused on the patterns and see a very troubling trend - strong indications that Trump and Musk are building a centralized surveillance state and compiling detailed dossiers on all of us

“While much of the media was busy running a full-scale PR rehabilitation tour for Elon Musk—casting him as a bold disruptor who stepped away from government and claiming that his unauthorized DOGE project had merely failed to “cut waste,”—the real story slipped past the headlines” My latest…

Across the U.S., state security officials and violence prevention advocates have reached the same conclusion: The federal government has retreated from the fight against extremist violence, which for years had been a top priority for the FBI. By @hannahallam.bsky.social‬

They’re grabbing people at immigration court and at their restaurant jobs because as we know, hardened criminals and human traffickers always show up for their paperwork appointments and dishwashing gigs.

I told the reporter that I thought the President did NOT have authority to name an acting librarian -- either under the Vacancies Act OR under inherent Article II authority. She got the second part but reversed the first. Aack. www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...

Heavily armed paramilitary forces stormed a local San Diego restaurant today, deployed stun grenades against a crowd of onlookers, and kidnapped a handful of kitchen workers.

Mark Hamill says he won't return again as Luke Skywalker “I had my time ... I really think they should focus on the future and all the new characters” (via ComicBook)

I think often of that trans girl posting how much Dems suck, and her evidence was like “I saw a video of a Chinese person changing their gender marker on an official document! Why don’t we have that here?” We literally did until now. Democrats got us that many years ago. You’d have it under Harris.

These are the people who will make the Bird Flu outbreak more likely and worse in a matter of time. They’ll also be the first to die because they’re morons who contaminated themselves first.

every article about politics in every mainstream publication is flat out lying to you if it does not emphasize that our government has been taken over by freaks and lunatics

"Trump says he fired" seems like the right way to report these things

Never has any leader had so many people wanting to make the argument that “not wearing any clothes actually makes the emperor better dressed if you think about it.”
