Just take note of how little national coverage thousands of Jews shutting down Grand Central Station to demand a ceasefire gets tomorrow.
@harriettmb @JoshuaHolland just remember that elections are approaching. This is where we could do so much, even in ridiculous election processes like the one in the US. I'm outside and pretty ignorant, but from this position supporting Marianne Williamson in any possible way makes so much sense. Just an example...

Graphic showing the leaking of the high-level radioactive waste at the Hanford Tank Farms, and the depth of the leakage. An underground plume of the liquid waste has been transporting towards the Columbia River.
This is the same technology as “recycling" nuclear waste from reactors.

When sperm whales need a nap, they take a deep breath, dive down about 45 feet and arrange themselves into perfectly-level, vertical patterns. They sleep sound and still for up to two hours at a time between breaths, in pods of 5 or 6 whales, presumably for protection. No one knew whales slept vertically until a 2008 study documented the behavior. And no one captured really good photography of it in the wild until 2017 with Patrick Dykstra documenting sperm whales.

Pandemic-era cycling fever appears to be lingering, with the number of average daily bike trips per 1,000 people increasing in almost every major U.S. metro area between 2019-2022. https://t.co/LqH8IEEGQb

We are capable of detecting even very small nuclear tests. We don't need any new tricks to do that.

Swimmers and sunbathers at Old Frontier Village watch a distant mushroom cloud from the Nevada Test Site (1957). This would be about 100 miles away.

Physicist Lise Meitner died on this day in 1968 just before her 90th birthday, having discovered fission, having been excluded from the Nobel Prize for her own discovery, and having paved the way for women in science anyway. This is her remarkable story: https://t.co/WJ9kLAYhbV

@abhijith @Pagan_Animist @msquebanh @ZhiZhu careful, you're talking about a current series of events that is most deadly for both Israel and Palestinians (was so before 7 October, albeit for a more limited time frame, now it's absolute). It is also record high beyond the region in terms of journalists killed, and in terms of inhumane warfare tactics
@tootymctootface @ZhiZhu would you care to elaborate what might be the issue with Kamala Harris? A link or two would do the job. I live in a different country so not aware of the context
@NovaSynchron @CitizenWald @AHAHistorians @histodons might be a very insightful discussion for the class, especially if both sides are able to document their arguments well
@YetAnotherGeekGuy @histodons @ekongkaar @AHAHistorians @CitizenWald yet, there's the West Bank, being continuously assaulted by settlers, and there are recorded cases when IDF were arming them. Even before 7 October, the number of killed was at a record high
@alexiswu if interest in European takes on the topic, please consider joining one of the calls of this group http://ethicalai.ecompetence.eu/
@alexiswu from the consent page of the survey, I understand this is US-only. Would be nice if you have this indicated on your announcement here

The Committee to Protect Journalists "has documented the deadliest period for journalists covering conflict since CPJ began tracking in 1992."
