People Before Profit's bill to sanction the state of Israel is coming to the Dšil this week. There's a petition here calling on the TDs in the Dšil to back the bill. I've signed, please join me:

Pass the Sanctions Against the State of Israel Bill
Dear Deputies, We call on you to vote in favour of the Sanctions Against the State of Israel Bill 2026 when it comes before the Dáil.  The bill is being proposed by Richard Boyd Barrett (People Before Profit) but it comes from the long-held mass movement demand for sanctions on the state of Israel.  It will be debated on 14 May and the vote in the Dáil is due to take place on 20 May. For almost three years, the world has witnessed the genocidal destruction of Gaza  - the mass killing of...

PSA: the term for "spaceflight with a crew inside the spacecraft" is "crewed spaceflight", not "manned". This has been the official NASA terminology for ~30 years.
"Crewed" is a much better term because it describes what the people are actually doing (they're not on board for the sake of being on board), plus it also differentiates it from passenger/tourist flights.

Maintaining a sourdough 'mother' is so worth it, because we get the bounty of lush bread reward very week (or more, if you're keen). Yum. That is all.

Half of a round loaf of sourdough, viewing the crumb from cutting board level. Bread is locally grown and ground wheat plus rye, and amarinth (ragi) flour, salt, rye sourdough (probably 12yo by this stage) and good Ōtautahi water. Delish.

Winners of the 2025 Close-Up Photographer of the Year #nature #photography

Emerald Glow. 3rd Place, Young. A Cuban tree frog in the photographer’s backyard in Florida. Hawkins-Kimmel: “During the heat of the day, I uncovered this Cuban tree frog hiding in the leaf of a banana tree in my backyard. The frog was very calm and allowed me to slip a flashlight under the leaf to create this effect. My 100mm lens ensured that I didn’t need to get too close, so as not to stress out the frog.”
In the Crowd. Finalist, Young. A group of flamingos in Camargue, France. Godin: “It was the courtship season for flamingos. They were constantly lowering and raising their heads. I had this photo in mind and wanted one flamingo to be sharp in the middle of other blurred flamingos. So I concentrated on one particular flamingo and followed it with my eyes, only pressing the shutter button when it was surrounded by several other flamingo heads.”
Inside the Pack. 2nd Place, Animals. Arctic wolves on the sea ice in a frozen fjord on Ellesmere Island, Canada. Eshel: “Lying on the sea ice of a frozen fjord, I experienced a moment of pure magic when a pack of Arctic wolves approached me out of sheer curiosity. They came so close I could feel their breath, yet I never sensed aggression, only wonder. These wolves, unlike others, have never been hunted or threatened by humans. In the remote wilderness of northern Ellesmere Island, they have no…
Spider Web. 3rd Place, Animals. A Eurasian beaver approaches a spider’s web in Kiskunság National Park, Hungary. Máté: “Years ago, I managed to intervene at the last minute to stop the water department from clear-cutting trees along a 2km stretch of canal. Since then, we’ve worked together. I monitor and notify them of any trees obstructing water traffic, while they avoid unnecessary clear-cutting, preserving a thriving habitat. Beavers returned to this area in 2015, nearly two centuries after …

The only April Fools prank I endorse:

Video clip from “so it’s finally come to this, The Simpsons clip show” Homer is sitting on the couch and says “mmm, beer” and pulls himself up off the couch, with a sticky squelching noise (BART had turned the thermostat up) Homer walks to the fridge, as part excitedly runs to peek around the corner into the kitchen He opens the refrigerator, pulling out a beer As he cracks open the beer, Bart jumps around the corner to yell “April Fool-“ as he is cut off by the giant beersplosion the engulfs h…

Technically the Senate Dems *DID* concede the original demands to claw back ICE/CBP/HSI funds and to ban some of the Fash tactics used in MPLS and Chicago as conditions for any DHS funding.
But those were always sacrificial asks. They existed to be conceded. @…

David Nir (@davidnir.com)
Absolutely extraordinary. The Democrats conceded *nothing* and got everything they demanded. They said no ICE/CBP funding, and that's precisely what happened. In other words, they did not cave. At all. But the GOP did—completely. [contains quote post or other embedded content]

Taking the early train from Beijing to ChongQing. Ride here was smooth and the streets were almost empty. That looked unusual for the traffic jammed streets of #Beijing

Beijing Railway Station at night, illuminated with red lights and a large clock, featuring a modern entrance and empty plaza.
A train station with a large digital board displaying train schedules. The station is empty with a few people in the distance.
An train Station terminal with rows of empty seats, a large screen, and check-in counters at the end of the hall. The scene is dark, indicating its night still.

I will once again repeat what I think is a nationally winning campaign for a US opposition party (should any care to exist), now with Berlatsky’s improved phrasing:
❝If elected, I will fight like hell to:
- destroy Donald Trump, everything he has done, and everything he stands for,
- tax the living shit out of billionaires, and
- use that money to repair the damage they’ve done to the US.❞
Not saying that’s everything that needs to happen, or an entire political philosophy, or the solution to everything. Only saying that I think that — simply that — would win elections. Try it and see. You cowards. fed.brid.gy/r/https://bsky.app

Brad Marino's new (5th) LP 'Agent of Chaos' is a banger. Power pop, Ramones vibes all over the place. I hadn't heard of this guy. LOVING this one. Catchy as hell.
