It’s been described as “the mother of all earthquake faults,”
the source of both our geological birth and, perhaps, our ultimate undoing.
But the most unnerving thing about the San Andreas fault these days may be its silence.
It’s a mystery scientists are still trying to unlock.
The San Andreas is central to any discussion of California.

In my experience, the larger the corp the worse they are at paying small invoices. I am inclined to believe Geoff Graham over Digital Ocean.
Geoff’s pattern has been to try, twice, to resurrect CSS-Tricks on the cheap.

European public institutions are betting big on digital sovereignty and open source software. And yet they recently moved their Bluesky accounts to W Social, a private, for profit network owned by Swedish entrepreneurs that has quietly gone closed-source.

[1 media attachment] Good morning Fedi friends. Is anybody curious about how the #WSocial experiment is going? You know, the private, for profit "European answer to X" endorsed by the European Commission, which is a fork of Bluesky and has quietly gone closed-source before its beta launch (à la #TruthSocial)? I've got numbers for you! Nearly two months in, W Social has almost the same number of accounts as #Eurosky... You know, the European fork of Bluesky that does NOT require government …

"We often hear that Europeans don’t have, like Americans, the "success culture."
...
Europeans like success. But they often don’t consider "winning against the whole society" as one. Instead, they tend to consider success a collective endeavour. Success is when your work is recognized long after you are gone, when it benefits every citizen. Europeans dream big: they hope that their work will benefit humankind as a whole!"

This Private School Had Students Scrub Floors and Attack a Fellow Classmate. The State Still Funds It.
One of the few requirements for Arkansas private schools is that they have an American flag and a flagpole. But millions in state funds go to the largely unmonitored schools while complaints about safety and fraud have gone unanswered, parents say.

"Just as with climate breakdown and smoking, the science on harm caused by foods high in fat, salt and sugar is now settled, but the industry continues to deny and distract to delay action. Two weeks ago, a new report highlighted the lengths to which big food has gone to stop governments implementing policies that would tackle the global crisis of diet-related disease.
Since 2010, it and its lobby groups have brought 235 lawsuits against governments."

Why are ultra-processed food firms panicking and suing? Because they know time is running out
As the harm caused by their products becomes more evident, manufacturers are resorting to denial and lawsuits to keep regulation at bay, says former Guardian special correspondent Felicity Lawrence

The Road goes ever on and on
Down from the door where it began.
Now far ahead the Road has gone,

Until it joins some larger way
Where many paths and errands meet.
And whither then? I cannot say.

Then a friend told me about opening at the John and Mable Ringling Museum of Art, and I applied and got that job.

The cat litter experiment was successful. I covered the shoes in it for the night*, took them out the next day and the stench was gone. I wasn't able to get it out by washing and scrubbing multiple times.

Cat litter has a few advantages over, say, baking soda: it's easily available in large quantities, it's easy to pour out afterwards, and you can put it in the litter box afterwards.

South Africa Bullied by a protector
When Donald Trump returned to the US presidency in January 2025, South Africans were surprised to find themselves in his line of fire.
The false claim that white South African farmers are being murdered for their land has long been a staple conspiracy theory of the white far-right
(white farmers have been killed, but not at a higher rate than the thousands of other victims of South Africa’s high violent crime rate).
With Trump back i…

For allies and adversaries alike, America at 250 is a solid global citizen gone rogue
America has long stood for freedom and prosperity, but under Trump insults, threats and unpredictability have become the new norm

Trump has recently clashed with a string of European leaders -- most lately Italy's Giorgia Meloni.
But luckily for NATO he still seems on good terms with Turkey's veteran leader Recep Tayyip Erdogan.
"Except for the fact that it was being held in Turkey by President Erdogan, I don't think I would have gone to it," Trump said last week.
The summit venue may also appeal: Erdogan's gargantuan marble-lined presidential palace.

How NATO will try to keep Trump happy at Ankara summit
US President Donald Trump will join fellow NATO leaders for a summit in Ankara next week after lashing out over their response to his war with Iran.

The biggest bullet dodged this week was the Supreme Court's decision in Trump v. Barbara,
in which the court ruled against Trump’s executive order attempting to nullify the birthright citizenship rights explicitly granted by the Constitution.
One of the grand plans of this administration has been to ethnically cleanse the United States,
and had the court gone along with Trump and his aide-de-camp, Stephen Miller, millions of Americans might now be facing the end of thei…

After months of resistance, the Democratic National Committee finally relented this May and published a draft of its "autopsy" of what had gone wrong in the 2024 election,
saying it was releasing the unfinished document “in its entirety” in the interest of transparency.
But, according to Paul Rivera, the man who wrote the autopsy, the draft omitted a chapter titled
“What Happened in 2024,”
which he said he had printed out and placed in a three-ring binder th…
