Seattle youth, get your fucking ballots in! At least just to vote for Pramila if nothing else (but please do others if you have the capacity). And if you are in District 37, Jaelynn Scott is a Black trans woman democratic socialist who has been endorsed by SDSA. She deserves your vote.
Hannah Krieg@hannahkrieg.bsky.social · 2d agoNEW: Young people are on the ballot this election, but can we please get young people to the ballot BOX? So far, King County voters 65+ account for 4 times as many ballots as people under 35. You have until 8pm Tuesday to close that gap!
Two more things about this deeply-researched article: 1) it’s a great reminder to re-read Normal Accidents 2) the good Admiral correctly refers to DCA by its real name, which is Washington National Airport

Kelly Lynne D’Angelo ✨@kellylynnedang.bsky.social · 3w agoPlease blow up the public comment (included below): BREAKING NEWS (7/15) — The administration wants to destroy Chaco Canyon without consulting Tribal Nations. It’s an irreplaceable historic & cultural site with 4,700 archeological sites that could be lost to the bulldozers of oil & gas development
One of the hardest thing I've tried to get US government officials to understand over the past 15 years, including when I was an Army civilian, is that Russian doctrine is explicit that they take no physical actions until they have set the intellectual/conceptual theory via influence operations. 1/
Karl Bode@karlbode.com · 3w agolike I dunno, if I were a strategist in a functional opposition party I might pay smart and creative people to make viral TikTok and Instagram videos pointing out Republicans are illegally turning U.S. local broadcast TV into a right wing propaganda machine but that's just me
57 years ago today, the crew of Apollo 11 set out for the moon. Today, we're still reaching for the moon—and reaching for a nation united by the Constitution and the principles that make us great and go beyond the stars.

The Dumbest Thing I've Read This Week II: Space Mirrors — physicsmatt
Mirrors in space are a dumb idea. Put that aside for a second. I want to talk about math, and how physicists use math. And why you need to be better at using math as part of your thought process...

"For orbital mirrors, the reason they are dumb as shit can be summarized like this: The Sun is really bright. Go outside nerds, touch some grass." excellent blog post from @physicsmatt.bsky.social on the really dumb idea of putting giant mirrors in space (FYI - USA FCC has approved a prototype)

This is the link to make a comment about the proposed OMB rule change. This rule change does many things, most most centrally it effectively moves the power of the purse from the legislative to the executive branch. www.regulations.gov/document/OMB... This is incredibly dangerous.

Always and forever, the people physically closest to a disaster will be the first responders. Your neighbour is who notices you missing and digs through the rubble to find you. Make connections. Build resilience.

And I know that Mika takes this as read, but I’m saying it out loud anyway: find out who in your neighborhood is gonna need help the second after the shaking stops. You can actually be a hero if you’re prepared.

It's World Marine Aids to Navigation Day on the 1st July, so here's a quick thread on some aids to navigation. Now the first and most obvious aid to navigation is dry land. Dry land - pay attention at the back - is strongly suggestive that you can't go sailing here.
@nuclearanthro.bsky.social Have you seen the Minneapolis Cat Tour‽ As Emily notes, this may, in fact, be the best thing you will see today (except of course your own cats, who win by proximity).

c0nc0rdance@c0nc0rdance.bsky.social · 2mo agoCameron Park Zoo in Waco TX has a new black-footed cat kitten (Felis nigripes). It's exploring grass for the 1st time here. This species is the smallest wild cat in Africa, but with the highest hunting success (~60%). They eat 1/6th their body weight in rodents & birds every night.
@nuclearanthro.bsky.social Your day can only be improved by meeting foster kittens Turt and Bert:
Sara Cress@saracress.bsky.social · 3mo agoI chose new names for the foster kittens, so please enjoy one full minute of Turt and Bert, short for Turtle and Bertram, which I think makes them sound like law partners.
