The etymology of ‘turtle’ is interesting as shell.

'Turtle' comes from the French 'tortue,' which in turn comes from the Late Latin 'tartarucha.'

‘Tartarucha’ was short for the phrase ‘bestia tartarucha’ which means "infernal beast" or "beast of the nether regions."

Trump: "We can never let what happened in the 2020 election happen again. We just can't let that happen. I know Kash is working on it, everybody is working on it. And certainly Tulsi is working on it. We can't let that happen again to our country."

Using an AI-generated video of himself, Donald Trump sought “to mock and smear millions of Americans, literally depicting them covered in excrement, precisely so that none of his own supporters would want to join them,” @anneapplebaum.bsky.social argues: https://theatln.tc/wY7pEvxZ

“This is not about drugs, it’s not about Venezuela, it’s not about anything else but this new assertion by the president that the U.S. military will kill anyone he points at, for any reason he deems sufficient.”

Very true and very scary comment by Tom Nichols.

I watched protests in Taiwan and Malaysia and wondered if I’d have the guts to demand reform if I knew I’d be met by water cannon, gas, & batons. Taiwan’s vibrant democracy is a testament to those protests. Malaysians achieved some goals but they still don’t have the democracy they want.

Scoop: Trump has started demolishing the White House's East Wing facade to build his ballroom. The president had claimed construction of the $250 million building wouldn’t ‘interfere’ with the existing White House structure. /W @ddiamond.bsky.social wapo.st/4hqBNiU

Should add: I didn’t say you would LIKE everybody in any big tent opposition. It is miserable! If resistance only gives you a virtue high, then it’s actually just about you — not the people, and you’re doing it wrong.

Hasan: The great irony is of course that Donald Trump is the son of an immigrant. The grandson of an immigrant and married to an immigrant. In fact two of his three wives were immigrants, proving yet again that immigrants will do the jobs that even Americans are not willing to do.

Administrators at Indiana University baselessly fired the student media director and ordered the student paper to cease its print edition, so it'd sure be a shame if this excellent digital front page were to be widely shared today

🐦 I am really loving this Le Monde piece about France's last military pigeons. For those who've read my graphic novel YOU MUST TAKE PART IN REVOLUTION — you'll know why:
France's last military pigeons, custodians of a fading tradition
The Mont Valérien fortress west of Paris houses the last military dovecote in Europe. In an era of ultra-technological weaponry, the carrier pigeon now flies only for official ceremonies, but remains ...

Open AI is currently building a data center in Texas that will require roughly the equivalent of the power the Hoover Dam produces to operate.

Last week the Whitehouse killed a renewable energy project that was going to produce as much powers as three Hoover Dams.

None of this makes any sense.
