A Twitter post with a profile picture of a watermelon with a paw print. The post is about the founder of Gaza's only animal rescue, Saeed, who lost his nephew to Israeli bombardment on a civilian area. The post also mentions a news update about a camp in Gaza undergoing a round of air strikes, artillery shelling, and gunfire. No ambulances or rescue teams have been able to reach residential areas.
in reply to Billings

This Martyr is Mohammed, Saeed's (founder of Sulala Animal Rescue) nephew.

The Instagram post was made by his cousin Mobarak Al Err (Saeed's son - He also works in animal rescue).

"And call not those who are slain in the way of Allah 'dead.' Nay, they are living, only ye perceive not."

@GM7077 The image shows a man lying on his back, covered in a blanket with a patterned design. His eyes are closed and his face is bloodied. The background is blurry and white. There is text in Arabic. The image appears to be a memorial to the deceased.

and yes, Iran, with all its troubles, is NOT as big a piece of shit as Israel is

Mooi stuk. Wat me vaak ook stoort is dat de focus op snelheid ligt in deze "schrijfhulp" context. Daar waar de academische wereld eerder "slow science" zou mogen omarmen.

@koen_hufkens je haalt me de woorden uit de mond

Zoals ik elders schreef: "A common argument for Generative AI is a promise of higher productivity. Yet productivity does not equal insight, and when kept unchecked it may hinder innovation and creativity. We do not need more papers, faster; we rather need more thoughtful, deep work, also known as slow science." osf.io/preprints/osf/2c48n

Yesterday our newsletter was sent out, also available through pronuntio.utwente.nl/2-1gxo_sa…
One of the items: though still involved with OSCT, Ruud (@steltenpower )
passed his coordinatorship to Renske (openscience-twente.com/communi… ),
Management of our social media presence is also (in the process of) being handed over.
If you post any news that you feel would fit our channel, 'cc' us to make it more likely we'll boost.
It's a community after all.

Then you wonder why there are so many PEFPs in US political sphere...


Their hypocrisy and the public's acceptance that agents of a foreign nation have such a strong grip over American politics is just hard to understand.

But it will s what it is 2/3rd of all people in high positions in US are funded and supported by #AIPAC.

Inspired by @drakulix, this is my fresh look and layout for COSMIC alpha 3.


"We are delighted to announce that Night Watch, is being published as a Penguin Classic in April 2025."

"Rob Wilkins says, “For so long, Terry worked against a backdrop of snobbery uniquely targeted at genre writers, it’s heartening to see him once again recognised as the great wordsmith, commentator and thinker that he was.”

I really love the Coke/Pepsi and fear mongering that comes with it every 4 years in US during election time.


I keep thinking about the part in Kim Stanley Robinson's "Ministry for the Future" where an eco-terrorist group starts shooting down private jets

Great to see Harris enjoying spreading her message. She’s speaking to labor in Janesville, #Wisconsin. youtu.be/261KmTeUQM8


So very powerful: @NicolleDWallace makes a public plea to her former boss, George W. Bush, to speak out in this election. Thank you.
