That morning I will be joining a group carrying coffins and staging a funeral procession down the streets of Minneapolis to mourn those who have died in ICE custody.

Does that answer your question?

In the late Middle Ages the area of Ireland under the direct control of the English Crown was known as the “Pale”. This was where English laws and culture were dominant, and was in chunks of area around Dublin, Kildare, Meath, and Louth.

If you were outside of this area you were “Beyond the Pale”. You might have heard or used this term, without knowing the reason.

Here endeth today’s lesson.

New from 404 Media: we've got leaks from Amazon, GitHub, Adobe, Citi, and more. The big takeaway is that companies in all industries are suddenly throttling their employees' AI use because AI is actually too expensive.

My husband sent me this reel...and wow...i miss Obama.
I remember how times were hopeful with him in that office.
He had charisma, vibe, knowledge, was kind and i really believe he has a good heart.
He used his time trying to change shit, not building statues of himself and ballroons, or paintimg a fucking pool blue, while destroying the already fragile international relations between countries.

Good old times.
Sigh.

Ford Prefect: Don't suppose we could get picked up by a bird?
Zaphod: A bird?!
Ford Prefect: Yean, a bird. You know, with wings.
Zaphod: Have to be a swutting big one, man!
Ford Prefect: Or two of them.
Zaphod: Hey, will you get your head back on?! The chances of one guy falling onto a passing bird are ten to the power of my overdraft, but two?! That's just -

In recent years, the number of #SpaceFlights has grown steadily... and will continue to grow in the years to come. This is not without #consequences for the chemical composition of Earth's #stratosphere.

Scientists believe it is time to study the potential effects of the chemicals released during a satellite’s #launch and #re-entry phases on the #ozone layer, the Earth’s #climate, and #life on Earth: https://www.essc.esf.org/2026/06/25/pr-airl-whitepaper/

When “conservatives” cry election fraud, it’s usually to cover up their own misdeeds. This TPUSA leader pled guilty last November to it.

Britain is currently running on an electricity generation mix that is over 90% renewables. The amount generated is in fact 112% of demand and the rest is being exported. That means that, were it not for the need to currently keep gas running to provide frequency and voltage stability, the country could technically be running on wind, solar and a bit of hydro.

I was once breathalysed and given a drugs wipe due to the "nature of my driving". I passed both. I only swerved slightly as I was extracting a massive sore, dry bogey from my right nostril.

There has recently been a wave of AI-generated accounts signing up pretending to be real people.

Server admins are trying to ban them as quickly as they are discovered, and some servers have temporarily closed sign-ups while they deal with it.

If you spot an account you think might be AI-generated, click ⋯ on one of the account's posts and select "report". Remember to give your reason for reporting, so that the admin knows what to look for.
