Black-and-white formal portrait of Alva Myrdal (1902–1986), the Swedish diplomat, sociologist, politician, and Nobel Peace Prize laureate. She is photographed against a dark background, resting her chin thoughtfully on her left hand, which displays a large, ornate ring. Her expression is calm, wise, and slightly introspective, with deep-set eyes, fine lines of age, and a gentle smile. Her silver-gray hair is styled in a soft, voluminous updo typical of the mid-20th century, and she wears a dark tailored jacket or dress with a simple collar, along with a distinctive metal wristwatch on her left arm. Alva Myrdal was a pioneering figure in social policy, women's rights, and international disarmament. With her husband Gunnar Myrdal, she co-authored the influential 1934 book Kris i befolkningsfrågan (Crisis in the Population Question), which shaped Sweden's progressive family and welfare policies. She served as Sweden's Minister for Disarmament and Church Affairs (1966–1973), headed UNESCO's social science department, and played a key role in the United Nations. In 1982, she shared the Nobel Peace Prize with Alfonso García Robles for her lifelong work on nuclear disarmament and peace advocacy through organizations like the Stockholm International Peace Research Institute (SIPRI) and Pugwash Conferences. Known for her intellectual rigor, feminist principles, and commitment to global justice, she remains an icon of principled leadership in diplomacy and social reform.#AlvaMyrdal #NobelPeacePrize #Disarmament #SIPRI

If my intuition is correct, he's most likely inherited bone spurs.

It never fails...

Anyone else getting this result tonight?

Thank you.

Bird Flu Strikes California Elephant Seals for the First Time

A lethal form of bird flu, which has already killed tens of thousands of elephant seals in the Southern Hemisphere, is now spreading in a colony of elephant seals in California.

For clarity..

This Anthropic and Pentagon standoff is not getting enough attention. Anthropic is prepared to walk away from a $200M contract because they’re concerned about how the Pentagon wants to use their tech for autonomous weapons and mass surveillance. We are at a dangerous intersection.

If the suspect’s family didn’t turn him in, he’d probably still be on the loose thanks to Keystone Kash.

Ask the dumbasses that voted for him!

Indeed!

Highly unlikely he wrote this –deleterious, really? He couldn't say it, let alone spell it!– but it does have his uniquely hate-filled ignorance throughout.

Reminder, this level of harmful Republican stupidity has been around far before 2015. Many already numb to it's insanity; others embraced it.

They Were Convicted of Killing Their Abusers. A New Law Offered a Second Chance at Freedom. An Oklahoma law was supposed to help reduce the sentences of women who killed their abusers. Why are nearly all of them still in prison?

I'm most certainly not one to suggest the suppression of free speech, but I'm almost certainly not one to suggest that organizations shouldn't respond to gravely offensive speech. At first I thought there was no way this account was from an official univ. group, but this post actually is from (1/)

A son of sharecroppers, a Freedom Rider, a moral force in Congress, John Lewis taught us that democracy is not a state, it is an act. When we see injustice, we do not look away. We get in good trouble. And we build bridges despite adversity. Happy Heavenly Birthday, Congressman.

We are the laughing stock of the world.

America has lost a titan in the struggle for civil rights and racial justice. From his days at the side of Dr. King, to his moral leadership in this century, Rev. Jesse Jackson, Sr. spent his life pushing our nation closer to its own ideal.

The 1 Republican in Congress actually taking the Epstein Files seriously just tweeted to make sure ppl knew he was not suicidal, is in good health and does not plan on going anywhere.

It’s that serious. Epstein’s child sex trafficking ring implicates (present tense) the most powerful men on Earth.
