Something odd just happened—an article that had been widely published on media sites has suddenly disappeared without any retraction or explanation. Many may have come across it on Reddit.

I would be fine with living in less interesting times.

Just arrived in Paris for crucial talks. Europe’s security is at a turning point. Yes, it is about Ukraine—but it is also about us. We need an urgency mindset. We need a surge in defense. And we need both of them now.

Trump really loves convicts doesn't he.

'One encounter with racism stands out to him in particular. He was part of a traveling show at the Leo Castelli Gallery and one of the places it stopped was Dartmouth College. Gaines just happened to be driving through the area and decided to drop in for the opening.' 1/3

When folks say people need to take a stand, this is what they mean. You continue to do the work and fight the fights that are worth fighting, not just the ones you can win. #medsky #imsky @smith.senate.gov @amyklobuchar.com www.startribune.com/those-of-us-...

HEGSETH JUST TOLD US VALUES DON'T WIN WARS WHAT DO YOU WANT FROM US JAYDEE

NEW: An email sent to workers at the US Treasury Department’s Bureau of the Fiscal Service said DOGE's Tom Krause is “currently” the CEO of the Cloud Software Group. Critics believe this could be a massive conflict of interest.

FOR OBVIOUS REASONS, PLEASE MAKE SURE YOU ARE UP TO DATE ON YOUR VACCINATIONS NOW.

This is how I roll.

YK puuhaa uutta kansainvälistä verosopimusta, jolla estettäisiin veronkiertoa ja verotettaisiin ultrarikkaita. Valtiovarainministeriöstäkin lähdettiin kokoukseen New Yorkiin. Tästä ei ole tainnut muut mediat Suomessa kirjoittaa. #verotus #ultrarikkaat #verosopimus #yk yle.fi/a/74-2014319...

It is quite clear USA is positioning themselves as another autocrat power, propping up Russia and despising democratic parts of Europe. Their comments about free speech are Orwell double-talk if I ever saw some - this is a country that literally banned *words*. www.politico.eu/article/us-v...

And the funny thing is, it was Trump who started micromanaging things on web page level. It is unprecedented indeed for president to walk over the subject matter experts like that. Judges then only react to whatever curve balls are thrown around.

Catching up on this Musk Oval Office appearance and, optics aside, it's like a brave explorer holding a press conference from the first peak in the Dunning-Kruger range. Just so much confident opining on stuff that even casual observers can spot as completely wrong.

Taas ollut puhetta nuorten fyysisen kunnon romahtamisesta. Ratkaisuksi esitetään (taas) liikkatuntien lisäämistä. Entä jos rakennettaisiin sellaista kaupunkiympäristöä, jossa nuoret pystyisivät liikkumaan paikasta toiseen turvallisesti ilman tarvetta autolle/mopolle? 🚲🚶🏻 #Kaupunkisuunnittelu

'As Kansas is in the midst of an unprecedented tuberculosis outbreak, state lawmakers are considering eliminating the quarantine power of public health officials.' eu.cjonline.com/story/news/p...

Aikamoinen hupiukko tää Purran aviomies 🤣 "Purraa luonnehditaan poikkeukselliseksi valtiovarainministeriksi, joka on uskomattoman oikeudentajuinen ja ritarillinen epäkohtiin puuttuja. Hän on entinen kirkkokuorolainen ja pyhäkoululainen, ”kohuun langennut” maallisten joukkojen puheenjohtaja."1/2

'In conclusion, only 10 percent of the articles analyzed presented correct statistical methodology.' This is super sad. If you are going to torture animals, can you at least make sure you get actual information out of it? www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

That’s nothing. I found 13 contracts awarded to SpaceX since December totaling $77M. 1/

In the Soviet Bloc, the Communist Party assigned political minders/ commissars to every school, factory, army unit, etc to ensure ideological compliance and loyalty to the regime. Hiring was based on class background and demonstrated loyalty. Obviously, this is very different.

i am going to put a finer point on this: executive orders are not laws. and they certainly are not royal decrees. they are interpretations of existing law for the purposes of enforcement. the fact that so many people are treating them as laws is actually driving me a bit insane.

Hyvä, että edes joku taho puhuu vielä suoraan.

This is Tux. He is the cutest black hole we have ever seen. And we thought you should see him too. 12/10

I’ve gotten death threats from extremists for writing about extremists. Especially for mocking them. Maybe you shouldn’t take an oath to support and defend the constitution if you’re going to stop as soon an incel from Fort Wayne sends a misspelled email.

Great point.

The Educational Bookshop in East Jerusalem was raided today, and its owners, Mahmoud and Ahmed Mona, were arrested. The bookstore is one of the premier Palestinian cultural institutions of East Jerusalem; Mahmoud Mona is among the most inspiring figures in the city. via @nirhasson.bsky.social

In Germany over 200,000 protestors in Munich gathered against the Musk backed far-right / neo-Nazi AfD ahead of the German election. Thousands chanted "Save Democracy" and "Oppose Nazis" #3E
