Two powerful earthquakes have struck Venezuela, with particularly serious impact in Gran Caracas and La Guaira causing widespread destruction across Caracas and surrounding regions, leaving communities without power, cut off from hospitals, and at risk from ongoing aftershocks. The Venezuelan Red Cross (VRC) is on the ground conducting search and rescue, reaching the injured, and assessing the growing needs of those who have lost everything.

El racismo está vivo y mejor que nunca en Colombia, solo basta con leer comentarios sobre Aida Quilcué.

Evidentemente, los problemas fiscales hay que solucionarlos, pero la austeridad agresiva y dogmática solo hará que entremos en una profunda recesión: Tomás Molina www.elespectador.com/opinion/colu...

She’s Diana Trujillo, one of the flight directors for ARTEMIS II. She was previously in charge of rover operations on Mars. She is from my hometown, Cali in Colombia. She is one of those immigrants who arrived in the US with nothing and now holds senior operational responsibilities on space missions

Elections are looming large in Colombia...this is a book I wrote to explain a little about...."how we got here." a.co/d/09w9gvXg

Halvemaansteeg, Amsterdam in 1979 and today. From being dominated by cars with barely any space for people to a car-free area with cafés and cycleways. Nothing natural about car dominance - it was a choice, and so was undoing it

One way to stay sane in these days: temporarily gazing at book covers. Like the 10 years old Johann Sebastian Bach is doing in this print, gazing through the lattice doors of a cupboard full with bound books. #bookhistory #skystorians

This is so good 💜. Wanting to add to this! Any chance there's a vocalist out there who'd be down to record this to the tune of Mr. Brightside? I'm not much of a singer.

A year after catastrophic LA fires, survivors are still rebuilding while navigating a growing "disaster economy," an often exploitative multi-billion dollar industry profiting from tragedy. Learn more in our latest episode, produced in collaboration with @grist.org: https://bit.ly/c1disaster

Esta es la rotonda de Beata María de Ana Jesús en Legazpi, Madrid, un ejemplo perfecto de diseño urbano de los 70, que prioriza el flujo motorizado frente al peatonal. Andando, de punta a punta, son 160 metros con 2 o 3 semáforos. En coche se va en línea recta y hay un solo semáforo (120m).

per my point about the mercator projection being the root of this whole thing

Why is Trump fixated on Greenland? @sbg1.bsky.social recalls what he told us in 2021: "I said, 'Why don’t we have that?' You take a look at a map...I love maps. And I always said 'Look at the size of this, it’s massive and that should be part of the United States.'" www.newyorker.com/news/letter-...

Can I offer you a happy snow pup after all the horrible images and news from Minneapolis?

Using imagery online of the shooting by an ICE agent in Minneapolis, we’ve created an animated sequence which highlights the approximate positioning of officers and vehicles at the scene. The red dot represents the agent who fired the shots. Yellow dots are other agents who arrived at the scene.
