"Dear Friends,

While recent developments have brought a measure of stability to parts of Khartoum State, the humanitarian situation on the ground remains difficult. Amidst the devastation, we at Khartoum Aid Kitchen believe this is a critical moment — not only to provide relief, but to begin the long road toward recovery.

Sudan is currently facing the world’s largest humanitarian crisis, and your generous support has been a lifeline to many. Your contributions have already helped us provide food and emergency aid to families caught in the crossfire — and for that, we are immensely grateful."

In a 2024 paper I hadn’t seen before, telescopic observations indicate that a single Generation 1 Starlink satellite generated FIFTEEN pieces of debris after reentry ablation. 15. 15 pieces that could hit the ground and hit us. This is a new level of horror. Do not support Starlink internet under ANY circumstance. This might be the most terrifying result of technology ever in human history - this technology is going to come back and hit us in the face. Literally.

I've just updated my 'Palestine' t-shirt/hoodie/sticker design. The update doesn't make you any less likely to be arrested, but should hopefully make it easier to argue your case in court.

Feel free to download, copy and use. Any profits you make please donate to an authentic #Palestinian charity.

Any fine or prison sentence you incur for displaying it you should treat as a badge of honour.

Three things that happened today:

- Benjamin Netanyahu’s governing coalition has fallen apart, leaving Netanyahu vulnerable to a vote of no confidence.

- Netanyahu’s corruption trial continued, having resumed on Monday after being delayed by a month by the attacks on Iran.

- Israel bombed Damascus, destroying its defense ministry headquarters.

- Oh would you fucking look at that, a fourth thing: Netanyahu’s trial was delayed again!

This absolute piece of shit will wage genocide, risk World War Three, and tear apart every neighboring country for the most venally corrupt reasons.

Playing with this tool, I've learned the population in a 3km / 1.9mi radius around my home was about:

- 60k in the car-dependent suburb I grew up in
- 110k in my walkable neighborhood in Minneapolis
- 200k where I live now in SF
- 500k in Brooklyn

The suburb is higher than I guessed

Went into my academia.edu account and worked out that they automatically opt everyone into "AI content". I've opted out for now but will probably delete the whole account soon, because yuck.
