I want to highlight a really cool #museum just outside #Portland, #Oregon: the Rice Museum of #Rocks and #Minerals! A real hidden #gem! (Pun intended)
We visited last week as part of a trip to take my kid to a two night sleep away camp at OMSI. He's been into #geology for a few years, and this place blew away all of our expectations.
So the museum was the house of the Rice family whose collection was the original start of the museum.
(Not all theirs though, some of the collection , like the petrified wood, crab fossils above, were donated by other collectors.)
They built their house in the 1950s with the intent of displaying their collection, and it's a beautiful bit of mid-century architecture. After they moved out in the 1990s, the museum was opened to the public.
Anyhow, if you are in the Portland area and have a vehicle to get up to Hillsborough, you should check it out... Regardless of your interest in rocks.
We went to Los Angeles earlier in the month on a long weekend trip, and for my kid made a stop at the Natural History Museum there, for their large collection. The Rice Museum just as large, and even more engaging.
WTF if they were already there what were they doing while all these #innocent children were screaming for #help after their cabin was floating away! This part of this interview needs to be clarified! 😡😡
LONDON (AP) — A British jury convicted three men on Tuesday of arson in an attack on an east London warehouse that was storing equipment destined for Ukraine.
🗨️ I think there's at least a very likely cause for the so called #wildfires in the region of #latakia in #syria, given the amount of ISR air raids across the coast without any reaction from the Al-Qaeda- #US affiliated government.
Int'l #media hasn't been reporting much about the violations of the #ceasefire under #UNres1701 in #lebanon - now you know why 👇🏽
just a note. Syria is destroyed. None of the state infrastructures can work properly. 14 years of blockade and endless war brought the total collapse of state mechanism - at the same time it was impossible for the base to build whatever alternative because of the embargo.
Fans bet a grand total of ¥121,751,200 on a Haru Urara victory, an impressive sum, particularly for a horse that had not won once in more than 100 attempts. The race ended in disappointment, but not surprise: despite being ridden by Japan's premier jockey, Yutaka Take, Haru Urara earned her 106th consecutive loss, placing 10th among 11 horses running.
I am blessed to have many friends all around the globe, yet very few are currently here. So yesterday I called the four people who are in the area, we got a pizza and we sat by the sea for a very humble and spontaneous celebration 🌻
Here’s one bit of wisdom after ¼ of a century as a human on planet Earth:
friendships are the most wonderful aspect of life 💕

I don't know the percentages, but sure seems like a lot of the judges are just cookoo for coco puffs. I can understand the legal means to go after an EO, but they have zero power to reverse a congressional act. How do these people get their law degrees? Oh! I answered my own question - in a box of coco puffs apparently.

BRICS condemned Israeli-US attacks on Iran last month and criticized their attempts to “politicize and militarize” humanitarian aid in Gaza, demanding an immediate ceasefire.
Evil would be the kindest possible word to describe this nasty corporation. UK govt should cancel the project thereby protesting all our data (NHS patient’s data).
I predict by may of next year most countries will adopt chinas stance and simply ignore the letters, calls and demands on twitter until he quietly caves.
@Nimbius666 Except Canada. We folded like a wet noodle. We expect to have a deal signed soon, and then restructured soon thereafter at the whim of Trump. Also expect decreased social safety nets, subsidies for oil and gas, and reduced taxes on the rich. As if we have a business man in charge of the country who thinks that taking people off government support is like retrenching employees. The fired ones disappear and profits go up.
It’s stunning to think that Mark Carney had a front row seat for the austerity shit show put on by the UK and decided that that sounds like a fabulous idea.

Does anybody else feel like an atheist in a 15th century monastery, abiding daily in capitalist realism? For my day job I constantly film corporate events and the like - and the whole kit and kaboodle is simulacra. Empty words dribbled by emptier people, to be consumed by empty listeners who must pretend to care about them. No less ludicrous and arbitrary than the rituals of a byzantine enclosed order.
I've just started a new job. As part of the many online mandatory online training courses for things like bribery... there was one on AI awareness. It was basically an hour long tutorial on all the ways we can sell AI to our clients. It was so gushing, it was sickening. And completely brushed over the risks and flaws as things that could be fixed later. I feel like an atheist amongst AI religious zealots.
@guigsy Christ that’s bleak. My whole department at my last corporate job in Germany was laid off a couple of years back and replaced with HeyGen video avatars reciting AI generated self improvement scripts. There’s a Pythonesque level of absurdity to all of this.
the training was all AI generated audio over a slide deck. The voice had uncanny valley levels of enthusiasm and the occasional intonation and pronunciation errors. And I suspect the scripts were AI generated from the slides too.
The EU ministers (including Italy's )just rejected by #Libya were lucky enough to be treated as "personae non gratae": had they been detained in Libyan concentration camps operating on our behalf, they would have understood how human we're
La delegazione europea che include il nostro ministro #Piantedosi è stata fortunata ad essere stata solo respinta dalla #Libia:se fosse stata mandata in uno dei campi di concentramento con noti torturatori libici da volo di Stato,avrebbe provato sulla sua pelle la nostra umanità

Make Germany great again, never mentioned in Mein Kampf or in any of his speeches
Banning books sounds bad until U learn that it was Child porn and communist propaganda. This at a time where the Communists had already killed tens of millions in Russia
He din't "target the press", rather the National Socialist party banned non German press fro spreading anti German propaganda
@EvolLove Omg, are you saying Trump is Hitler? Where are you getting this? It's revisionist history. Hitler was an evil monster, a killer, a mutilator, a racist pig, blaming shit on the Jews, and we have testimonies from around the whole world. Where's the real proof Jews killed their economy? There's always somebody to blame. It's Historical. Globalist fit this description. I have tapes from Auschwitz personally given to me from a survivor, and my family that fought there.
not quite true a pedophiles is someone intereted in prepubescent children. epstein had teenage girls if we keep seeing memes like rhis, we're being memed by attention whores
