There was a 40 year period in history when samurai, pirates, and cowboys all technically existed at the same time.

RAGE DONATE. If you hate russians killing Ukrainians you can make a difference today, $250 guarantees one more drone will be fully unjammable and able to reach it's target, details below 🫡

Thousands of generations of humans lived and died never knowing what a sunset looked like anywhere but Earth. You're in the first generation that doesn't have to. This is a sunset on Mars. 140 million miles away from us.

New Yorkers shouldn’t have to worry every time it rains. Ahead of this weekend’s storms, City workers have been out across all five boroughs clearing and inspecting catch basins in flood-prone neighborhoods. Today I joined @NYCWater in Bushwick to clear a catch basin overflowing with debris and litter on Knickerbocker Avenue, one of the areas hit hardest by Wednesday’s storm. If you see a clogged catch basin, call 311. And if you’re able, help your neighbors by clearing leaves or litter from nearby grates before the rain arrives.

This is a couple of blocks from home. You know the saying though, look for the helpers. As well as the emergency services you can see people cutting up plywood for boarding up windows. There's a tent where volunteers can sign up, and then another tent doling out food.

Almost seven years clean and sober. Not a victory lap. Just a fact. To anyone in the fight right now: it gets quieter. Not easier. Quieter. In the quiet, you find out who you actually are. That’s the part they can’t take from you.

This is probably the best look at the shockwaves I’ve seen from the latest Starship flight. Captured from a GoPro I clamped onto a proper camera to record simultaneous video. (I’ll show you the photo the better camera took in the reply)

A touching video captures the moment 1.5-year-old Maksym is reunited with his father, a Ukrainian serviceman, returning home after a month and a half of service. Video: margarita.levchuk.official / Instagram.

This high school in Walnut, California just gave its parking lot a #solar upgrade. Shading vehicles and helping to power the school. Shouldn't every parking lot get a #solarpower upgrade like this one? #ActOnClimate #climateaction #climate #GreenNewDeal #renewables

Fukuyama: The key issue was Taiwan. A $14B arms package was held up, and Trump seemed to see Taiwan as a “very good negotiating chip” with Beijing — trading an ally’s security for economic advantage while repeating false claims about Taiwan stealing U.S. chip technology. 1/

This is a great story about how Trump and his family are profiting off the renaming of the Palm Beach International Airport, with the blessing of Fla Gov. Ron DeSantis. I guess everything is up for grabs in America these days, with no input from local taxpayers or voters.

Breaking: Huge protests erupted in Bilbao, northern Spain, against the Basque police assault on Sumud Flotilla supporters who returned yesterday through Bilbao Airport, after shocking footage of the attack spread widely online.

An adorable orphaned baby kangaroo in an Australian wildlife sanctuary was recorded clinging to a staff member’s leg until she was allowed back into her cloth pouch.

“I just blacked out. I couldn't handle it. It was so painful.” Zeteo contributor @enoughformethx, who was amongst those detained by Israel on the Global Sumud Flotilla, recounts the abuse he endured at the hands of Israeli forces at Ktzi’ot Prison.

Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum announces free universal healthcare for 130 million citizens starting next year.

A retired kindergarten teacher in Chile is running the only continental king penguin colony on Earth. In 2010, king penguins returned to a wind-battered bay in Tierra del Fuego after avoiding it for a decade. The previous time they nested there, people claiming to be scientists took them away in cages, supposedly for research. Most ended up in zoos and homes. When they came back, tourists started putting sunglasses on them for selfies and stealing their eggs. Of 90 penguins, 8 survived the first year. Cecilia Durán Gafo, 72, owns the land. She didn't start a fancy foundation, she started spending every day on the beach with a thermos and a sandwich, telling people to leave the birds alone. Her team buys scraps from local butchers and feeds invasive foxes and minks away from the colony at 3 AM so the chicks survive. The colony is now 200 birds, legally protected for 100 years. Twenty-three chicks fledged last season, the most ever. Sometimes conservation is just one person with a thermos and a bone to pick refusing to leave the beach.

FIFA is panicking: World Cup hotel cancellations are surging as global fans ditch the U.S., citing soaring costs, visa bonds, and Trump’s dictatorial behavior. Turns out nobody wants to pay $1,000 a night just to experience an authoritarian simulation.
