and here's here's a bit of natural ultramarine (aka lazurite, or lapis lazuli) from the Mardan-y-Char mine at Sar-e-Sang, Afghanistan, in the Hunterian Museum collection, Glasgow.

The intensity of this colour is pretty accurate - this is close to the "eye" grade of the most intense blue used for jewellery. Broken coarse crystals known as "lajuaat crystal" grade are still used for pigment production from this mine.

OK, I'm going to hammer on this one. Five days might not seem like much to get 700,000 signature, but I've seen petitions get to 1 million in a day to save baby seals, so why not banning conversion therapy.
We have 4 countries above the threshold, but even if you're in those, your signature can make a different to reach the million.
Aside from that, we are nearing the threshold in the following countries:
Belgium
Slovenia
The Netherlands
Denmark
Germany

This is too little, too late: there's no cargo heading for the USA from China at the moment and it'll take over a month for anything at all to arrive (even if it left tomorrow, which it won't, because the factories have either closed or are now committed to other markets). By the end of a 90 day pause goods *might* begin arriving again … if anyone in China trusts the USA not to hike tariffs again (which they obviously don't). So there are going to be shortages by and by.

It’s wild that ostensibly neutral outlets would call a brief suspension of some tariffs during ongoing negotiations a “trade deal.” It just objectively isn’t that.

If there’s an explanation for it other than Trump and the WH press shop claiming they struck a deal, I don’t know what it would be.

A imagem mostra uma mulher sentada em uma cama, vestindo um hijab preto com estampa floral, segurando um bebê. O bebê está vestido com um macacão branco com estampa de pinguins e um gorro correspondente. A mulher olha para o bebê com carinho, e ambos estão em um ambiente simples, com uma parede rosa ao fundo e uma manta com desenhos infantis no chão. A legenda da imagem informa que Siwar Ashour, nascida em novembro, só conhece a guerra, e sua mãe, Najwa Aram, de 23 anos, deu à luz em um único cômodo sobrevivente de uma casa que foi destruída, compartilhado por 11 outras pessoas.

New post from me: a free society should not tolerate routine masking and other attempts to conceal identity by ICE agents raiding worksites, stopping cars and arresting protesters. And it's part of a wider Trump administration strategy of pursuing impunity for rights-violating law enforcers.

Well, Justice Souter, it turns out that the ignorant public you feared thought that no man is above the law—learned that in school and everything—and it took highly educated, well-read Supreme Court Justices to change the part of the Constitution that says insurrectionists can't run to say yes they can, and to make up a new part of the Constitution that gives presidents* immunity from criminal charges, thereby causing the death of democracy.
