What might happen if the Education Department were closed? tucsonsentinel.com/nationworld… President Donald Trump signed an executive order Thursday calling for the dismantling of the Department of Education - but many programs exist outside the department. #Tucson #Arizona
Vermelding van drugs - dodelijke waarschuwing voor straatdrugs, boost alstublieft

Een geperste pil met designerdrugs uit een klasse die bekend staat als #zenes in #Nederland in omloop gebracht en heeft al de dood veroorzaakt, zo meldt de #NOS Soortgelijke pillen zijn gevonden in het VK en veroorzaakte en veroorzaakte de dood - ze worden daar op het darknet en in Frankrijk precovid verkocht als "sterk oxycodonalternatief"... English below. #drugs #fakedrugs #drugalert #fakepills #opiods #boostme
NOS, a Dutch news outlet, reported death linked to fake pills, "pressed" "pressies’ sold as #oxycodone but containing a deadly #zene analogue, stronger than fent, from China. These have been known to cause death in the UK a few years ago and were seen in France precovid. Beware - oxy is 1€/mg, pills should be in original packaging, percs don't exist here. #drugs #drugalert #fakepills #opioids #opioidalert #opioidsfromchina #harmreduction #boostswelcome #drugsafety
Zenes from China are spreading in Europe, and more potent than #fentanyl. The thing is that first responders are not used to strong #opioid #overdose nor detected by most at home tests. They're buyable as #researchchemicals or #designerdrugs way too easily, and very cheap, so remorseless sellers press them into pills. #oxycodon is expensive: it can go up to around 100e a pill for the 80mg/160mg ones on the #darkweb. Percs are sold only in the US #opioids #harmreduction #drugsafety
What you can find as opiates and opioids in Europe are: codeine, tramadol, oxycodon, tapendol, sometimes with soma (carisoprodol), and #heroin, and maintenance meds. For Heroin, China White is very rare and expensive, it loooks a bit greasy sometimes, yellow/brown, never truly white with a sugar aspect. No opioid is sold as a powder, those are zenes too. Never buy cheap presses, they're likely to kill you. Don't trust a seller that promises you things you don't find where
you are, it's a scam. Except tapendol, if it's cheap, it's a scam. Oxycodon especially. The rest is mostly between 20 and 80e a lot/g. You can't "home press" opioids or benzodiazepines without using strong designer drugs. Stay away from anything that's clearly homemade and for which you didn't get a named picture of the package. If the seller mocks you, don't take the bit and leave. They'll tell you it is not how it's done. It is. Your life is worth more than a cheap pill.
And no, you're not built different. I know a lot of people who died from opiates, I've read some died with zenes whiles being used to them, And I almost added a number in the stat despite a tolerance to them.

My heirloom seed potatoes kept disappearing until we realized a feline fellow had taken an interest in them. It's been a battle for the last week not to have him knock the eyes off while they are chitting.
@ana 's brilliant solution today was to give him his very own potato from the grocery store, and he's officially in love. Our house is a constant wobbly, thunk, thunk, thunk, patter, patter, patter, thunk, thunk, thunk.
Trump isn't just attacking judges. Now he's attacking lawyers, too. Plus, the administration is cutting $1 billion from schools and food banks, and the Idaho sixth grade teacher you should know.https://www.msnbc.

Trump is destroying America, wreaking American soft power and its hard-earned international reputation. Putin has humiliated him with its refusal to negotiate. Will he be as hard on them as he has been on Ukraine?
I'm waiting for the felon #potus to speak and act as strongly against Putin as he did against President Zelenskyy.
I have not seen even one statement demanding Putin to stop the invasion, stop raping Ukrainians, stop bombing Ukraine, and to return all the tens of thousands of children and adults🇺🇦 Not one word.
“Finally, disciplinary action will be taken against anyone who violates this policy up to and including termination.”
This was the second line of a response sent by senior leadership to me and all my coworkers at PEN America in an email thread on June 26, 2024.
I started the thread by posting a link to an article titled “What Unlearning Zionism Can Teach American Jews about Israel and Palestine” to my organization’s listserv channel.
Una bella notizia! Leggendo la lista presente su mastodon.it/it/istanze-mastodo… mi sono accorto che varese.social fa parte delle comunità locali! Grazie mille al team di @devol (a proposito ho attivato ElasticSearch)😉
Ho realizzato però che mancava una regola sui contenuti VM18 su varese.social. L'ho aggiunta subito. So che è un argomento delicato quindi sono graditi feedback! Anche da utenti di altre istanze sia ben inteso. Buon proseguimento!
The academy did not fight McCarthyism. It contributed to it.” That was historian Ellen Schrecker’s devastating conclusion in her classic study No Ivory Tower: McCarthyism and the Universities, which came out in 1986.
Columbia University, while not the worst in Schrecker’s account, was certainly not the best. Today, as the New York Times has revealed, it’s probably the worst.
Whether the target was communists in the 1950s or pro-Palestine activists today, university administrators have always worked to keep academia in line.

Israeli extremist settlers have been reported to have conducted over 5,250 illegal activities targeting Palestinians and their properties in the occupied West Bank over the past decade, according to a new report released on Saturday.
The National Bureau for Land Defense and Settlement Resistance, led by the PLO, reported that settlers carried out violations such as violently attacking Palestinian residences and vehicles.
A report by the PLO's National Bureau for Land Defense and Settlement Resistance underscores a rise in violence, particularly since Israel's war on Gaza.
Washington, DC 28 June 2023 The Washington Hilton hotel, in the Kalorama neighborhood, opened in 1965. A classic modernist concrete slab Brutalist design, the curved facades and winged canopies evoke Eero Saarinen's airport terminals.
This is a fairly conventional architectural composition, emphasizing the curved facade. To get a high resolution capture of the wide structure, this was made as a stitched composite of two captures with the Rodenstock 32mm/4.0 HR Digaron-W lens. The Phase One back was shifted left and right by about 12mm.
By using shift movements at a fixed perspective, the two captures can be stitched directly together into a panorama without needing to transform the frame geometry (as you would with panning).
The result here is about 170MP in 16x9 format, which is sufficient for very large prints that retain a great deal of detail (I've printed this at 6 feet wide).
Mid-Century Modernist architecture, and Brutalism in particular, is easy to dismiss as being superficially lifeless and uninteresting, but at its best (and with the right eye) these buildings can be seen as sculptures in the landscape. I don't always appreciate them, but they're often more interesting than they first seem.
The Washington Hilton, completed 1965, was designed by architect William Tabler. It's notable not only for its distinctive exterior, but also for the prominent events hosted there. The hotel is or has been home to the White House Correspondents Association Dinner, the National Prayer Breakfast, the Shmoocon conference, and the 1981 assassination attempt on Ronald Reagan, among many other things.
It has extensive back-of-house facilities and security features to accommodate high profile VIPs.
@mhoye I wish I did. Best suggestion is to find a local shop that will tolerate you wanting to proof things and that has a a decent selection of paper stocks.
I ended up buying a giganto Canon printer, which is not for the faint of heart.
Israel Katz made remarks this week that solidified something legal experts have long stated: Israel is collectively punishing the people of Gaza.
The defence minister published a video directly addressed to “the residents of Gaza”, issuing a “last warning”.
“Soon, the evacuation of the population from combat zones will resume, and what follows will be far more severe: you will pay the full price,” he warned.
U.S.-backed Israeli forces drew international condemnation Friday after bombing the only cancer hospital in the Gaza Strip, where more than 700 Palestinians including over 200 children have been killed this week and where the death toll from 532 days of genocidal assault is approaching at least 50,000.
Israel Defense Forces troops carried out an airstrike on the abandoned Turkish-Palestinian Friendship Hospital in Gaza’s Netzarim Corridor.
