No joke: I got angry hate mail today for writing an obituary of a Black woman scientist—because the person felt she did didn’t deserve the recognition.

A little bear figurine carved out of amber some 6,000 years ago 🐻❤️
A hole runs through the bear’s torso suggesting it was threaded on a cord, perhaps worn or carried as a protective charm.
Found in a peat bog near Słupsk, Poland, in 1887.

ICE is using Palantir's tools which use health data to target victims. And the UK is outsourcing NHS services to Palantir. www.404media.co/here-is-the-...
Here is the User Guide for ELITE, the Tool Palantir Made for ICE
404 Media is publishing a version of the user guide for ELITE, which lets ICE bring up dossiers on individual people and provides a “confidence score” of their address.

Thousands upon thousands of cyclists gathered today to honor Alex Pretti and to demand ICE leave our state. In decades of cycling, I’ve never been in a bigger group of riders. I couldn’t see the head or the tail of the group.

Hear me out…. What if the TBC was in Edinburgh and we got @camerooneymason.bsky.social a home race?
Good that 🇨🇿 Czechia has two races now 👍🏻
A few classics are still in it ✅
But still not many races outside 🇧🇪 Belgium, 0️⃣ races outside 🇪🇺 Europe.
A race like Hamme does not really have a World Cup worthy parcours too.

I came to Minneapolis to report on what's going on, and one of the main questions I showed up with is "just what is the scale of the resistance?" After all, we're all used to the news calling Portland a "war zone" or whatever when it's just some protests in one part of town.

Should we make politicians, especially potential world leaders, take a history test before the elections, to decide if they even qualify?
