La imbecilidad humana taló el árbol y cubrió el hueco con cemento para que no tape la fachada de un comercio 🤦🏻‍♂️

New in PN: The Trump/Musk fight is why we say "No Kings"

A peer-reviewed article—on Indigenous dance in Palestine and Native North America as resistance to genocide—was formally accepted then rejected by the editors of The Journal of Somaesthetics, citing fear of criticizing Israel’s genocide.

14 June 1921 | A Pole, Stanisław Trałka, was born in Wąbrzeźno.

He was deported to #Auschwitz on his 19th birthday in the first transport of Poles to the camp on 14 June 1940.
No. 660
He perished in the camp on 2 October 1942.

in reply to Auschwitz Memorial

I was curious as to how someone so young was in the first wave of prisoners. I found a site which indicated he was a student at an art school when he was arrested, but the site is broken and the page won't open. Auschwitz.org states he was used as a photographer prior to his murder, meaning he certainly took some of the photos we see posted every day by this account.

If anyone can find more on Stanisław Trałka, please share... I'd like to read it.




Last night I primed the cool digital kit bash for Imperial Space Marine Hatsune Miku from @mikailborg! I like it very much. Considering trying a cel-shaded look for this mini. 😁 #MiniaturePainting #3DPrinting #Warhammer40k #HatsuneMiku #Nerdlings
in reply to Spark

very nice! "Go off the official miku figures" she suggests, regarding colour
in reply to WokStation

@wokstation That was the plan for one of them. I was thinking the other in the style of Brazilian Miku and one in another alternate style I found in a Miku figurine. 😁





"Emergency departments aren’t trained for Long COVID [& ME/CFS] — and patients are paying the price" by @thesicktimes

Among other things, recommends more medical education for healthcare staff in emergency rooms & elsewhere, plus better access to telehealth

“Most [emergency departments] are unprepared to recognize or manage post-exertional malaise, a key feature of ME and some cases of Long COVID, which can turn a long wait in a loud, fluorescent-lit room into a debilitating crash”

My kids love their trampoline, but they only spend 50% of the time bouncing up, wasting the other 50% falling down.

That's why I'm not spending another penny on trampoline maintenance until they can improve efficiency and reduce wasted falling time to at most 25%.

This toot is about austerity.

#Trump Shifts #Deportation Focus, Pausing Most Raids on #Farms, #Hotels & #Restaurants

The abrupt pivot on an issue at the heart of Trump’s presidency suggested his broad #immigration crackdown was hurting industries & constituencies he does not want to lose. [proving his agenda is, as always, driven by #SelfInterest not #NationalSecurity, & certainly not #PublicService]

This is most likely a lie. He’s hoping to fool immigrants into feeling safe, so they can round them up more easily.

After all, 87% of his base approves of the SS tactics!

Love this lion rampant on the gates of Òran Mór in the West End of Glasgow. Originally built as the Kelvinside Parish Church, it was converted into an entertainment venue in 2004. Òran Mór is Gaelic and can be translated as the Big Song or the Great Melody of Life.

This needs attention

‪Via Greg Sargent:‬

Now that #Trump has suspended deportation raids in the agriculture and hospitality industries, it's even worse that Dems failed to put their stamp on the right side of this debate. This dereliction could now let Trump get away with recasting his climbdown as sensible recalibration on his part. Awful.

…and by suspending raids on certain workers, Trump has nullified his “zero tolerance” policy, declaring some immigrants essential means that they can all be essential…
