listen, this isn’t a lie, but it’s really close.

when you google it, the top source is Siskind’s own Facebook page.

the actual audio is just a meaningless blanket statement from which no one should draw any conclusions.

no actual news source has covered the quote, including Fox.

A hand-drawn digital painting by the artist Dhiyanah Hassan of three garden eels on the ocean floor. The one in thr foreground is painted in more detail, sticking out from the sand and slightly bending its head towards streams of light depicted in a soft lilac tone, part of the dynamic shading of the piece. The other two are in the background, facing the opposite direction but similarly looking up at the light rays. The background is a mix of textured and blurry, wuth some grains of sand highlighted.

Photo of a blueish fungus growing on a dead tree trunk on the forest floor. Some green moss sprigs are visible on the tree trunk. The fungus consists of a short, stout stalk, branching into two semi-open cups. One cup is atop the stalk and opened upwards. The other is on a short branch coming off from the right side of the stalk.

It turns out the U.S. did a β€œdouble tap” attack just as emergency responders were arriving at the girls’ elementary school. This is what the Russians do routinely in Ukraine.

That’s a war crime under international humanitarian law.

there's a thing I like to call "load-bearing assumptions", that you don't notice until they're suddenly gone (e.g the air you breath has oxygen in it).

the post-ww2 order is a load-bearing assumption for basically the entirety of american life. trump took a sledgehammer to it in the last 90 days.

β€œsome noted they had lost fans and donors. There are some people who like Irish music but think ICE is just here to enforce the law. But Natalie O’Shea, executive director at Celtic Junction, told me, β€œTo believe in laws over belief in people is to be colonized.””

Perry: This St. Patrick’s Day, don’t forget Irish music’s anti-fascist roots Dropkick Murphys, the iconic Irish American punk band, are headlining a free block party March 6 near where Alex Pretti was killed by immigration agents, contributing columnist David M. Perry writes.

NEW β€œWe’re celebrating a tradition that is at its core about resisting occupation and maintaining community in the face of horrors. You can’t keep politics out of Irish music. No one should try, for two reasons. First, it’s ahistorical. Second, Minnesotans are ready for a big anti-fascist party.”

Americans: we live in a fallen stateβ€”embroiled by sin, cheating, lying, and evil. You cannot trust anyone, not even those who claim to know you best

This is a profound continental divide. Canadians overwhelmingly view other Canadians, even those unlike them, as being good people. Americans, more than any other country, view their neighbours and fellow citizens as bad people. Anti-Americanism flourishes in the United States

The M81/2 Group is one of the closest galaxy groups to our own Local Group, located approximately 12 million light-years away.

Messier 81 (Bode’s Galaxy): A massive, "grand design" spiral galaxy and the group's brightest member. It contains over 200 globular clusters and a supermassive black hole.

Messier 82 (Cigar Galaxy): An edge-on "starburst" galaxy. Its exceptionally high rate of star formation is triggered by tidal interactions with M81.

The Whirlpool Galaxy is a "grand-design" spiral galaxy located in the constellation Canes Venatici. It is one of the most studied and photographed objects in the night sky.

M51 is famous for its gravitational interaction with a smaller companion galaxy, NGC 5195 (M51b). This interaction has triggered intense star formation along its prominent spiral arms.
Composition: It contains an estimated 100 billion stars and has a supermassive black hole at its core.

Wow! A completely clear night and TEN hours of continuous 'shooting' at some cracking galaxies (described in ALT). The Dwarf3 smartscope was quite hot at the end!

This work is made by the renowned Ukrainian artist Ivan Marchuk, who invented the unique painting style called "plyontanism" (from the Ukrainian word plyontaty, meaning "to braid"). This technique consists of hundreds of fine, intertwined lines that create depth and an almost textile-like texture.

A European stonechat perched on a bramble stem, surrounded by fresh green leaves with reddish edges. The small bird has a warm orange chest, mottled brown back, and a pale wing patch. Its beak is stuffed with a messy bundle of dry grass, moss, and fine rootsβ€”nest material so large it partly hides its faceβ€”suggesting it is busy building or lining a nest. The background is softly blurred green, making the bird and the tangle of nesting material stand out clearly.
