Death penalty update, from Michelle Pitcher: “We as a legislature actually created a way for people like Mr. Roberson to challenge convictions based on science that later turns out to be wrong. ... The courts simply aren’t engaging in that process.” https://www.texasobserver.org/robert-roberson-new-execution-date/

Nazis and other white nationalists oftentimes claim it's not that they want other races dead, it's simply that they want each race to "stay in their place" with no "mixing" allowed. It's not specially they claim to want Jewish people or Black people or Chinese or Latinos DEAD, they just want them "not here, anymore, go back to where 'you people's belong". But of course that's entirely impossible to actually DO (and then there's the millions and millions of people of mixed races).
IT ISN'T JUST THAT THEY VOTED FOR HIM
It's that they were PROUD they did so.
They were defiant, taunting, hooting, and hollering.
Doing something that at a very deep level they knew was shameful — because they were voting for HIM, that man! — and pretending they're beyond shame.
Laughing at any of us who still thought shame and decency and humanity should count for something.
You’ve heard of ransomware, deepfake scams, and business email compromise. But what about bread bag cybercrime awareness? 🥖
In Belgium, police have taken to printing cybersecurity tips on bakery bags. Yes, really. Forget TikTok or Instagram ads, this is crime prevention via a crusty sourdough.
The initiative targets people who aren't scrolling social media 24/7. The idea is simple: warn people about online fraud and digital scams using something they actually see every day - at low cost.
At a bar and need help? Order an "Angel shot".
-"with lime" means call the police.
- "on the rocks" means you need a taxi called.
- "neat" means you need an escort to your car.
You can also ask for Angela, as in "is Angela working tonight?"

Attached: 1 video i did not know about the hand signal for help me, and my stupid ass thought she was flirting. The Signal for Help (or the Violence at Home Signal for Help) is a single-handed gesture that can be used over a video call or in person by an individual to alert others that they feel threatened and need help.[1] Originally, the signal was created as a tool to combat the rise in domestic violence cases around the world linked to self-isolation measures that were related to the COVID-19 pandemic.[2] The signal is performed by holding one hand up with the thumb tucked into the palm, then folding the four other fingers down, symbolically trapping the thumb by the rest of the fingers.[3] It was designed intentionally as a single continuous hand movement, rather than a sign held in one position, so it could be made easily visible. The Signal for Help was created by the Canadian Women's Foundation and introduced on April 14, 2020.[4] It soon spread via the TikTok social video platform and was adopted by the international Women's Funding Network (WFN). It received widespread praise from Canadian[5] and international[6][7] news organizations for helping provide a modern solution to the issue of a rise in domestic violence cases. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Signal_for_Help
Do you see who she takes inspiration from? Do you really see it. The UCP is right there with the most dangerous and anti-human policies on the planet.
"Could a European far-right leader’s plan to cut immigration by offering tax discounts to motivate women to produce more babies work in Alberta?
Alberta Premier Danielle Smith says a policy introduced by Hungary’s ultranationalist leader Viktor Orbán is an “interesting” idea and thinks it would be worth taking a “closer look” to see if the policy could be effective in her province."
Orbán, who is widely regarded as authoritarian and one of Europe’s most far-right political leaders, is currently struggling ahead of planned elections in 2026
if you liked these photos, i have an ongoing thread of photos of the aquarium here
One of the best visits to the Monterey aquarium that I had was during a period good time with a strawberry anemones we’re flourishing. When I used to scuba dive, you could see that out in the wild, but the tanks were quite glorious.
I still wish I could go down there and volunteer for cleaning that big aquarium
So long and thanks for all the fish
@skinnylatte i used to live, as a small child, way up the hill side across from the park that bordered on Presidio .
I was 7.
And while youth programs would take me to the aquarium i would often sneak down there on my one speed bike.
@glasco61 the building itself is also full of engineering marvels
