During the Olympics opening ceremony, the Algerian team threw flowers into the Seine River at the very point where in 1961 over 200 Algerians were beaten and intentionally drowned by French police during a protest against an anti-Muslim curfew. Long live Algeria 🇩🇿🇩🇿🇩🇿

“You can imagine a situation in which life arises and has some effects on a planet, but remains a relatively minor part of the scene,” he says. “But oxygenic photosynthesis made life into a major player on Earth. It didn’t just change the living world, it changed the mineral composition and geological processes of the Earth.”

I'm pro-shark on this one
"The statistics in this article mostly refer to unprovoked bites. But there have been reports of shark attacks from people feeding, grabbing, petting, kicking, chasing and, in at least one case, kissing wild sharks. These types of attacks seem to be especially common among social media influencers."

"How the Supreme Court’s immunity ruling could really backfire"
https://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/2024/07/25/supreme-court-immunity-ruling-cia/
#WashPo put a misleading title on this article.
The article doesn't argue that the decision will be bad for authoritarians like the #Trumpists who pushed for it and hope to benefit from it.

This past week has been a rare confluence of events that has tilted the scales in favor of progressive voices and causes, while simultaneously exposing the vulnerabilities of their conservative counterparts.
For those who have felt battered by the seemingly endless barrage of right-wing fuckbag rhetoric dominating headlines, this shift offers a breath of fresh air and a glimpse into what could be.
