Putting an ask out for a friend. She's hoping someone might have some of these Mars Lumograph 100 EE pencils tucked away somewhere that they don't want. They're unavailable now and there's nothing quite like them out there. If you have any let me know and I'll put you in contact.

Please boost!

Trump admits his war crime of bombing civilian infrastructure in Iran.

Multiple bridges have been destroyed, including the B1 Bridge shown here, which was a 173 meter long bridge over the Karaj river west of Tehran.

Bombing bridges could have a military purpose if the U.S. was in a land war with Iran, e.g. to prevent the movement of tanks. But in the current situation, Trump has simply decided to bomb costly civilian infrastructure to force the Iranian regime to obey him. This is illegal.

Congrats to @avilewis on the #NDP win.

Obviously there will be much “B-b-but he’s a *socialist*!” pearl-clutching on all the legacy and new-right channels. Also, screaming from the Prairie fantasists who think they can build a prosperous future on fossil fuels.

There is a huge vacant political space to Carney’s left. There for the NDP to pick up if they can message effectively, as the UK Greens are.

“When Israel commits a genocide in Gaza, we call them out. When the US and Israel start an illegal and reprehensible war against Iran that sets the world on fire, we say Canada should have absolutely no role in it whatsoever."

Congratulations to #AviLewis, newly elected leader of the #NDP! #cdnpoli 🇨🇦

"Nobody in the open source community talks about this because the survivors go quiet & the ones who don't survive aren't around to write essays.

I am tired of the silence around this. Open source culture celebrates intensity … the all-night hack session, the prolific contributor, the person who maintains 50 projects & keynotes 10 conf's a year. What it doesn't celebrate, what it actively looks away from, is what that intensity does to people who are wired differently."
