Our $2M investment in the Sea Cliffs Exhibit Renovation Project has gotten a pretty clear seal of approval.
Ignoring the history of Arabic science (which is hard as someone who LITERALLY HAS A PHD IN THE HISTORY OF ARABIC SCIENCE) and factoring in the vagaries of who counts as "Arab," Arabs have won *many* Nobel Prizes, 2 Wolf Prizes, and at least 1 Fields Medal.
RFK: "There's five hundred million Arabs in the world. And yet they don't produce science. They don't win the Nobel Prize. They don't win the Fields Prize. They don't win the Wolf Prize. They don't produce literature."
My favorite kind of shitposting is definitely "your thing is not historically accurate" shitposting.
Literally the first shot of this "historically accurate" Odyssey movie shows a boat that A) Has no steering oar. B) Is under full sail *and* full rowers while entering a cave, presumably to dock inside.

It's funny how the Defenders of Western Civilization really want Odysseus to be this heroic patriarchal figure when he is canonically kind of a dirtbag.
A Washington State resident literally died last week as a direct result of being accused of illegally registering to vote (she had to cross a border to see her doctor b/c WA geography is weird). Mr. Orangeface can f*ck right off with attacking WA's people on useless voting issues.
The Trump administration on Monday asked Washington state to set aside any ballots received from more than 400 people it suspects registered to vote without U.S. citizenship. https://to.pbs.org/4iHuGVh

Yesterday in #Burien, #ICE agents were observed using AR-15-style weapons during the abduction of a community member. Today, they pointed a pistol at a rapid response volunteer, who had been observing from over 20ft away. #ICE is quickly becoming more violent www.facebook.com/share/p/18wA...

Lula winning is great for the planet, great for Brazil, and great for people who aren't revanchist assholes everywhere in the world, but let's not forget that it's also going to make some of the worst people on Earth extremely sad and mad. We should enjoy that, as a little treat.

Okay, look, I know obviously this is the most corrupt administration ever, and we should throw Jared down a well, but I just want to say... when you're committing $700M in crimes, USE A LAPTOP?! Don't do billion-dollar-crimes on a *phone*! Can't even buy _plane tickets_ on a phone!
This is one of the most holy sh*t stories I’ve ever read in my life. www.vanityfair.com/story/jared-...

Gift giving season is coming up and I sling antiques and 9 of my friends make incredible handmade stuff so if you're not following the @peculiarityshop.bsky.social maybe now's a good time. It puts money directly into the pockets of 10 LGBTQIA+ people and the community is A+++.

Fellow WA voters, let's bury this. I can't imagine any parent wants to subject their child to this vile "examination."
Doctors and nurses are voicing their objections. I-638 would require EVERY girl who wants to participate in sports to go through biological sex verification. That means expensive, invasive, and utterly gross examinations. Protect our kids and let them play. Vote NO on I-638

The regime will do everything it can to cling to power. That’s why we need to make sure our win is too big to rig. You can help get out the vote from anywhere: www.mobilize.us/indivisible/...
