Of all the cities I've visited, I find Istanbul, Türkiye to be the coolest. A strange mix of "East meets West" and in its chaos it thrives. It's like Hong Kong in the late 80s/early 90s or Berlin in the 90s.

They cut the price. If they can increase the range to 500 km per charge I'll buy one. And then spend 20K renovating it & then I start "van life".

A national general strike in Belgium has severely disrupted transport and public services across the country.

There have been several strikes since De Wever took office in February as the head of a mainly right-wing coalition that has proposed public spending cuts.

Why the hell does Trump’s Department of War keep using RUSSIAN military images? This is by no mean the first time this has happened.

A record 29% — nearly a third! — of all new cars purchased in California during July, August, and September were zero-emission vehicles.

DC may be fine with selling out American innovation to China, but California will keep charging ahead toward cleaner air for our communities.

“I spent three nights and three days in federal custody. During that time, I was never told what I was charged with, was not allowed to shower despite being covered in tear gas and pepper spray, had no phone call to my family, and no access to an attorney.” - George Retes, U.S. citizen and veteran.

I’m a US citizen and a veteran. ICE arrested me for no reason.

Jailed for three days without an explanation or ability to notify anyone, George Retes argues the only path to healing starts with the government taking accountability for its actions.

I'm reading up on amateur astronomy, and this is pretty cool.

40 minutes on M33, the Triangulum/Pinwheel Galaxy, using the Apertura Carbonstar 150, Starizona Nexus reducer/corrector and QHY Mini Cam8 mono RGB last night.

Messier 33 (NGC 598) is commonly known as the Triangulum Galaxy. Barely visible to the naked eye, this nearby spiral is the third-largest galaxy in the Local Group, after the nearby Andromeda Galaxy (M 31) and our own Milky Way. M 33 is approaching our Solar System at 182 km/s. Corrected for our motion around the Milky Way's galactic center, M 33 is approaching our galaxy at 24 km/sec, which means that M 33 is moving towards M 31. In fact, the Triangulum galaxy may be a remote but gravitationally bound companion of Andromeda. The Pisces Dwarf galaxy (LGS 3), one of the Local Group's small member galaxies, is possibly a satellite of Triangulum.

I'm not religious. not a god-fearing guy by any means. but when you're blocking priests and bishops, you're a fucking asshole.

Mike Nellis @mikenellis.bsky.social · 1d

Catholic priests and bishops have been trying for months to visit people held in the ICE detention center just outside Chicago. Why are they being blocked? What harm could it possibly do? What are they hiding?
