#DonaldTrump stunned even his #loyalists this week when he linked his desire to end the #war in #Ukraine with his desire to “get to #heaven Yes, you read that right: peace talks as a pathway to eternal salvation.

The Clamshell Nebula (Sh2-119)
========================

In the rich starfields of Cygnus, the massive star 68 Cygni bathes this cloud in fierce ultraviolet light, sculpting glowing hydrogen and delicate dark dust tendrils. I captured the scene in a narrowband HSO palette to highlight the interplay between ionized hydrogen, sulfur, and oxygen—revealing the shell-like arcs and filaments that give Sh2-119 its name.

If you enjoy the look of these lesser-known Cygnus gems, tap the save button and share — there’s so much structure hiding in this region. Clear skies!

that stat doesn’t mean much


Heh, coincidentally, I just asked Chat GPT how we're supposed to know what any statistics mean - or actually are - in the wake of the #TrumpVirus elimination of the Bureau of Labor Statistics. Thin-slied: "reliable sources", like the government. Catch 22 / "There's a hole in the bucket!"

As for the AI landscape (to sort of mirror it's tone), nobody can predict, or as #TrumpVirus says, "We'll see what happens". I tend to agree that most will be the property of big data with the re$ources (money/electricity/scale) to be a "winner".

What I'm seeing, based on both the strength & fallibility of (publicly accessible) AI,
is heavy use of disclaimers and qualifiers and efforts to seem neutral... But what I can foresee is a few major "channels" of AI, both in #media offerings and for consumers to pick and choose, which will basically reflect "the mind" of the owners, be it Musk (Grok), Meta, or maybe (hopefully) some neutral, public-service entity. Again, "we'll see..."

Curious to hear people's opinion about Delta Chat...

Especially with an eye on the possibility of mandatory 'client-side scanning' for messaging platforms like Signal and WhatsApp (i.e. turning these messaging apps into a direct eavesdropping device for the police), I'm wondering if Delta Chat might be a good alternative.

Delta Chat is based on email but it functions like an ordinary messaging app. It's PGP end-to-end encrypted, decentralised/federated, open source... so it should be possible for many people to run their own messaging servers, thereby circumventing (possibly, hopefully) the legal requirements of the chat control bill.

The nazi-government is planning to essentially destroy any remaining social security & infrastructure in Finland.

No, really. They plan to cut so deep, we may never recover. Not even if the next government is left-leaning. Not even if two after that are left-leaning.

Why? Anyone who doesnt CLOSELY follow politics, still thinks that one of the biggest party, SDP is “leftist” like when Sanna Marin was in lead. Not even close, if elected the new leader Antti Lindman wants to KEEP CUTTING.

"Auron MacIntyre's views on race are totally incoherent.

Auron MacIntyre is a conservative opposed to White identity politics. Because his audience is more radical, he has to use pilpul to spread his message that White identity politics is evil.

Here, he tells Tucker that thinking of people by race is a modern "vulgarisation" - not true, actually the modern innovation is the distinction between ethnicity and race that Auron insists on (more)

Hey everyone, Yousef, @NouranKhaledGh’s brother in Gaza, is looking for remote work:

“Before the war, I was working as a copywriter in English and Arabic. I managed to get dozens of projects done successfully and I got a top-rated badge on Upwork.”

He wasn’t able to work during the war. In January, during the ceasefire, he was able to get short-term projects. He goes to a dedicated workplace every day even now, in the middle of an ongoing genocide, to have electricity and a working Internet connection to look for work but has been getting rejections on Upwork, likely because he’s based in Gaza.

“I just want to get back to work because I don’t want to lose everything in my life.”

This is his Upwork account:

upwork.com/freelancers/~018cc9…

How can we help?

Please share + talk to people you know who might benefit from Yousef’s expertise.

Thank you!

Education Department drops English-learner guidance for schools – The Washington Post


Exclusive

Education Department quietly removes rules for teaching English learners


The move is an acceleration of President Donald Trump’s executive order declaring English the country’s “official language.”

August 20, 2025 at 6:00 a.m. EDT, Today at 6:00 a.m. EDT, 7 min

Attorney General Pam Bondi said the Trump administration aims to “promote assimilation over division.” (Mark Schiefelbein / AP)

By Laura Meckler and Justine McDaniel

The Trump administration has quietly rescinded long-standing guidance that directed schools to accommodate students who are learning English, alarming advocates who fear that schools will stop offering assistance if the federal government quits enforcing the laws that require it.

The rescission, confirmed by the Education Department on Tuesday, is one of several moves by the administration to scale back support for approximately 5 million schoolchildren not fluent in English, many of them born in the United States. It is also among the first steps in a broader push by the Trump administration to remove multilingual services from federal agencies across the board, an effort the Justice Department has ramped up in recent weeks.

The moves are an acceleration of President Donald Trump’s March 1 order declaring English the country’s “official language,” and they come as the administration is broadly targeting immigrants through its deportation campaign and other policy changes. The Justice Department sent a memorandum to all federal agencies last month directing them to follow Trump’s executive order, including by rescinding guidance related to rules about English-language learners.

Since March, the Education Department has also laid off nearly all workers in its Office of English Language Acquisition and has asked Congress to terminate funding for the federal program that helps pay for educating English-language learners. Last week, education advocates noticed that the guidance document related to English learning had a new label indicating it was rescinded and remains online “for historical purposes only.”
