A simple question from a kid turns into a lesson about why some constellations disappear for months while others (like the Big Dipper) never leave the night sky 💫

RT by @EU_ENV: Cars are plastic parts on wheels 🚗♻️
That’s why the EU is now developing its end-of-life vehicles regulation, aligning it with the #CircularEconomy Action Plan to boost circularity, improve vehicle design, and keep more materials in use.

@impactology I'd argue that answering this question is close to half of mastery. Because it tells you where not to put your attention, because it remains fixed.
@thejapantimes so according to JT, AI is the only thing in the way of Italian fascists...

Ok new rule, products of subsidiaries of nasty tech companies get referred to by the most disreputable name in the structure, not their branding.
They're not Waymo robotaxis. They're Google robotaxis.
It's not Whole Foods Market. It's Amazon Foods Market.
It's not Meta Glasses. It's Facebook Glasses.
“Until Israelis feel it in their pockets, or until there’s even more mass killings [of Israelis] or until the international community stops them, then it’s just going to keep going unfortunately.”
"Fierce domestic debate about responsibility for the 7 October 2023 attacks, which occurred on Netanyahu’s watch, was instantly set aside."
"But there is little mainstream questioning of whether Israel’s use of military power is the best way to guarantee lasting security, Zonszein said. “It’s perplexing why Israelis aren’t having that conversation enough. I think over the last 20 years, Israelis have just been less and less interested in these deeper questions.”"
"But Israel’s spy agencies have a decades-long track record of taking out high-profile enemies, from generations of Hamas commanders in Gaza to the Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah, in assassinations that did not destroy the groups these men headed."
"Few prominent Israelis have asked questions about why the legacy of one historic victory is another war – or whether the stated goal of regime change from the air is realistic."

@Migueldeicaza this data needs to be cross-checked against the Russian Laundromat dataset https://www.occrp.org/en/project/the-russian-laundromat-exposed/the-russian-laundromat-exposed . Too bad I can't do it myself now.

Regular reminder that just because funding was cut by the government, PBS is still here. You can donate $5 or more and get access to a ton of their stuff on streaming too, including lots of local shows. It's a good deal.

Same with NPR. The funding cut sucks but I can still listen to my local Detroit NPR's music shows
