A fascinating collection of vintage microscopes. Some serious steampunk vibes from all that brasswork! Inside an abandoned medical research institute, somewhere in Portugal.

Israeli forces raid Global Sumud Flotilla boats in _International Waters_ which is clear Piracy & Kidnapping

"Israeli military forces have intercepted boats travelling with the Global Sumud Flotilla, using drones, communications jamming technology and armed raiding parties to halt the humanitarian fleet in the middle of the Mediterranean.."

So not only does Israel believe it has a "right" to steal ALL the lands, but all the open oceans now too.. Israel is a Terrorist State that MUST be STOPPED.

@GoingDownWithSundial Good point!

Is a long weekend where you are too?

@stella that sounds super neat

@sundogplanets @simonoid @mike You both might enjoy Callie Russel's social media presence RE: goats.

https://www.caprakhan.com/

I guess she's only on Insta and then rarely because she's usually out in the mountains with her goat herd. But the sporadic content she does post is peak goat content.

(She's also my favorite Alone contestant)

@neil long weekend coming, plenty of time to catch up :)

@astraleureka extremely helpful

Once again, my professional recommendation in response to the latest Linux kernel vulnerability in the news is that you should gather up all your electronic devices, cast them into the sea, and retreat to the woods.

Each night, gather your children and tell them tales of the Before Times when the hubris of humanity grew so large that we made idols of sand and spoke to them as equals. Remind them that the sand, of course, did not speak or think, but we imagined it could, and let it guide us to folly.

Should a stranger ever come to your village with a glowing rectangle, encourage the youth to beat them with sticks.

@astraleureka thank you this is awesome

I said it before but:

I really believe that with the rise of #AI we need dorky people more than ever. We need niche special interests. We need specialized academic fields.

We need knowledge like the person's on Insta who keeps pointing out that AI generated images of Cambrian fossils are clearly fake, because the crustacean shell has the wrong number of little bumps.

We need people like the witchy person who likes fiber arts so much they learned how to shear sheep and process wool themselves.
