Don't forget to change your DNA when you learn it has been compromised.

The US bombed the fuck out of Afghanistan, propped up a corrupt government and warlords, oversaw a collapse of infrastructure and public services and most of the country pushed into poverty, and then it acted surprised the Taliban still had a steady stream of recruits.

There comes a point where your approach to "peace" needs to be more nuanced than "kill 'em all."

For folks in the Berkeley Oakland area.

The owners of Ellis Ace Hardware at 5424 Martin Luther King Jr Way J, in Oakland near 55th St are retiring. They are having a big closing sale. It is on the 12 & 18 bus lines and not far from the F, 88, and 6 lines.

This is a great hardware store. Drop by if you can and help them clear stock. There is no set date for closing as they own the building so there is no rent for them to worry about. They are also seilling the building.

Mastodon will appreciate this display case in our physics building.

That's it. Done and done.

Jeff Bezos is firing workers from the Washington Post just in time for #Israel #Palestine massacres and next year's USA's general elections (which officially start with primaries in January).

it's consider one of the largest newspapers in the country with just 2,500 workers.

Jeff Bezos is said to be worth $160BILLION. if he were to pay each WaPo worker 1MILLION, he would still be worth $157.5BILLION

United States' faith in billionaires is their undoing

"Israeli intelligence was unprepared for this attack and the United States was unprepared to be either an ally or an honest broker, and the reason for the latter is the current Republican Party.

There is no ambassador to Israel — or to Egypt, Lebanon, Oman and Kuwait, for that matter — because Senate Republicans have blocked their confirmations, as well as those of over 60 other proposed State Department officials. "

🌌 This PBS Terra #video discusses the importance of darkness in maintaining healthy #ecosystems.

🌃 Artificial lighting disrupts #sleep, wastes #energy, diminishes our connection to the #universe, and harms #wildlife and #biodiversity. Encouraging responsible use of lighting and promoting #education can help achieve a balance between human needs and preserving the natural darkness of the night.
