Two years ago I spent a lot of time and effort creating a new programming language. A Clojure-inspired LISP for the JavaScript age, called Piglet. And I just... never really announced it publicly, even though I think it's genuinely a cool and interesting project.
Lately I've started working on it again, and I think it's time to show it to the world.

"There were once more than 30 kufiya factories in Palestine.
Now, only one remains. Ours.
For years, mass-produced imitations flooded the market.
The real Palestinian kufiya was pushed aside, nearly forgotten.
There came a day we had to ask: do we close our doors too?
But we didn’t.
Quietly, our machines kept weaving.
And somehow, from our humble factory in Hebron,
The authentic Palestinian kufiya found its way to the world.
Today on World Kufiya Day, we honour that journey, and the people who carried it.
From city streets to mountain peaks,
in marches, concerts, and quiet acts of resistance,
The kufiya lives on the shoulders of those who choose pride over silence.
Today, we celebrate you.
The global Hirbawi community.
Wear your kufiya today.
Wear it loud. Wear it proud.
And while the world watches and does nothing,
Thank you for standing with us on the right side of history.
A special restock is coming next week 🚨
In preparation, our website will not be taking orders between Monday the 12th May to Sunday the 18th May.
If you would like to place an order, please do so today before midnight."

She'd go undercover and investigate these psychics all over the country, seemingly heedless of her own safety. I like how she jokes about how mediums put her in touch with over a thousand husbands she never had.
Too bad there isn't a movie or at least a book about Mackenberg!

She may have gotten her start as Houdini's sidekick, but Rose Mackenberg became a giant of unmasking fraudulent mediums.Skeptoid

Donald Trump a qualifié de "nouvelle monumentale" l'annonce du mouvement islamiste palestinien Hamas de procéder à la libération d'un otage américano - israélien toujours détenu dans la bande de Gaza , ajoutant qu'il espère que cela conduira à la fin de la guerre et au retour de "tous" les otages dans leurs foyers.

I’d say it’s a lot more serious than this headline implies because everything with Hegseth is just the tip of the iceberg.

Here I introduced the idea of the player altering probabilities and snapshotting them as a color. So a pink plant, pink insect, pink bird have one probability likert scale, blue, another.

Just in case, like me, you're in need of something wholesome to start a new week: Betty's Reading Room by the dock in Tingwall, Orkney.
Apparently set up by a couple in memory of their late friend Betty Prictor - a place for folk to hang out while waiting for the Rousay ferry and really just the loveliest memorial I can imagine.

My friend and I took the kids to oaks park earlier. Noticed a group of people with multiple men that just gave me bad vibes. Later in the parking lot gave the dude driving this truck some shit for their stupid flag. He stopped his car and reversed and a few other vehicles in his group also stopped their vehicles in front of us. They tried to fight us and called us faggots in front of children all for saying the flag was ugly and to get that shit out of Portland lol. Ended up being the same men who gave me bad vibes earlier.
They have since left but just a heads up because these guys are super aggro.

in reply to neophen • • •The image depicts a whimsical scene set in a forest at night. In the foreground, a black cat and a gray mouse are standing on a dirt path, holding a string that leads to a large, round object in the sky. This object resembles the moon, with a face drawn on it, giving it a human-like appearance. The moon is tethered to the string, which has a red tail that trails behind it. The cat is standing on its hind legs, gripping the string with both front paws, while the mouse is standing on its hind legs as well, holding the string with its front paws. The background features a dark green sky with a hint of blue, and trees with dense foliage on either side of the path. The overall atmosphere is serene and fantastical, with a focus on the interaction between the animals and the moon.
