From 2018

From yesterday's #IceBridge flight: A tabular iceberg can be seen on the right, floating among sea ice just off of the Larsen C ice shelf. The iceberg's sharp angles and flat surface indicate that it probably recently calved from the ice shelf. pic.twitter.com/XhgTrf642Z

Sandra Miesel at Work

Gallagher v. Crenshaw

Navy SEAL Chief Eddie Gallagher publicly challenges @DanCrenshawTX.

It is pretty serious for Team brothers to publicly expose another.

Will Crenshaw respond to Chief Gallagher and others who have called into question his integrity?

Update to P0licy?

You tell me; I haven't looked at it for a while. Looks like G00Gle is taking their job of being the internet police more seriously now, after having neglected their acquisition for so long. So be it. Time to make a decision about Google products anyways.

Centuries Too Late

The U.S. and Canadian bishops released statements Thursday praising the Vatican’s repudiation of the “doctrine of discovery,” which has been used in the past to justify European colonialism in the Americas and throughout the world. https://t.co/uO4bMzL39Z

After repeated calls from Canadian indigenous communities for the Catholic Church to rescind the so-called “Doctrine of Discovery,” the Vatican has disowned that position, but stopped short of rescinding it.https://t.co/oyQICKLJtn

Liberalism and Dialectic FTW!

2/ When we disagree, don't silence people who think differently. Don't violate their right to speak. Don't shout them down. Certainly don't call for them to be murdered! Contest their points by giving your reasons, citing your evidence, and making your arguments. Then listen.

Elite Privilege

Systems claiming to be for the benefit of everyone, especially common men, turn out often to benefit those that can give the system the most, at the expense of the common man the system claims to champion.
